Arsenal are showing a strong interest in Paris Saint-Germain forward Bradley Barcola, who is currently discussing a new contract with the French club.
Mikel Arteta’s team showed away at Aston Villa that their attack still needs work after the Gunners struggled to break down a resolute Unai Emery team.
Meanwhile, Leandro Trossard’s injury woes increased as the Belgian international was forced off with an issue in the Midlands.
As revealed by Arsenal Insider, Andrea Berta remains keen to sign another attacker in 2026 for the North London club, and the Frenchman is now a new name on their list.
Bradley Barcola is ‘not entirely satisfied’ at PSG with Arsenal making a ‘strong move’
Bradley Barcola is ‘not entirely satisfied’ with his situation at Paris Saint-Germain, according to Le10Sport.
The European champions are looking to offer him a new contract; however, his future at the Parc Des Princes remains unclear.
The 23-year-old has been in and out of the team under Luis Enrique, and ahead of next summer’s World Cup, he could go in search of regular minutes. Barcola has five goals in 18 appearances for PSG this season.
What would your dream Arsenal front three look like in 2026/27? 🧐
The winger is not short of options to leave the French capital, with Liverpool and Arsenal both showing a firm interest in signing him.
The Reds are very keen on the French international, although the report from France claims that Berta has made a ‘strong move’ to sign him.
Barcola could be an interesting option for the Gunners as he can fill multiple roles across the front line, including left wing, centre forward and on the right side.
William Saliba could help bring Bradley Barcola to Arsenal
One Arsenal player who is very familiar with Barcola is William Saliba, with the pair having featured alongside one another for the French national team.
The Arsenal defender has made 13 appearances alongside Barcola, with the pair winning eight times together.
Would Bradley Barcola be an upgrade on Martinelli and Trossard? 🤔
Should Andrea Berta bring Barcola to North London? Have your say in the comments…
Saliba recently committed his future to Arsenal, showing how he really feels about Arteta’s project, and now he must convince Barcola to join him.
Therefore, if the Gunners are serious about bringing him to North London, Berta should be getting Saliba to have a word with his fellow countryman.
