Arsenal are looking at ways to bolster their attacking ranks, with Mikel Arteta needing some more firepower to score the goals they desperately need.
The Gunners have missed out on the Premier League title for a third challenge in a row, with Liverpool crowned as champions and ending any hope of landing the trophy.
With Arsenal looking to get themselves over the line, sporting director Andrea Berta is tasked with finding the players who can add that little extra that the team needs.
While a striker is certainly on the cards, there is also the possibility of landing another forward who can add goals and creativity to the frontline.
With the summer transfer window creeping closer, Arsenal seemingly have their sights fixed on one Premier League star as an option to bolster the team.

Arsenal linked with Morgan Rogers transfer in summer switch
As Arsenal look to add some more creativity and goals to the team, Berta appears to have landed on one Premier League star in particular.
According to Football Transfers, Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers is one who is on the radar for the Gunners.
Berta is believed to be a “huge admirer” of the versatile forward, who is capable of playing on either wing or as a number ten.
The 22-year-old has enjoyed a step up from the Championship to the Premier League, following last January’s move from Middlesbrough.

Rogers has played almost every minute in the Premier League for Aston Villa this season, helping them make a push for Champions League qualification.
It remains to be seen whether the England international would be available, with a contract until 2030, but a lack of top European football could pave the way for a deal.
What Unai Emery has said about Arsenal transfer target Morgan Rogers
With Rogers excelling at Aston Villa, there is an Arsenal link there, having been coached by former manager Unai Emery.
The Spaniard has helped develop the forward to the next level, with some big moments already landing over his year or so at Villa Park.
Speaking back in April 2024, Emery explained exactly why Rogers was so good, telling Sky Sports: “He is a player.
“He is intelligent. He understands football. When we analysed and we signed him, it was because we analysed his ability to adapt quickly to our structure.”
It’s the sort of character review that would seemingly fit well for Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal squad moving forward.
