Arsenal are expected to have a big summer transfer window.
The Gunners have finished second for the third consecutive season, and although there is progress in the Champions League, there is no silverware yet.
That needs to change next term, and Andrea Berta has been brought in to fill the final pieces of the puzzle at Arsenal.
The Italian has been working hard behind the scenes, and the names of the attackers on his wish list have now been revealed.
The 12 attackers on Andrea Berta’s Arsenal wish list
Arsenal need reinforcements in multiple areas of the pitch.
Jorginho is leaving, and there is a chance that Thomas Partey could follow him. That leaves a big hole in the middle of the park that needs to be filled.
Neto will return to Bournemouth following his loan spell, so a new second-choice goalkeeper is a necessity too. Another defender could also be required, as the likes of Oleksandr Zinchenko and Jakub Kiwior could follow Kieran Tierney out of the door.
Those are all key areas, but all eyes will be on who Berta will sign in the forward areas of the pitch as Arsenal need a new striker and a winger this summer.
GiveMeSport have now revealed that Berta has 12 names on his list ahead of the summer transfer window – four strikers and eight wingers.
Alexander Isak of Newcastle United, Sporting CP star Viktor Gyokeres, RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko and Brighton and Hove Albion attacker Joao Pedro are the centre-forwards Berta is working on.
Out wide, the report reveals that Rafael Leao, Rodrygo, Alejandro Garnacho, Nico Williams, Jamie Gittens, Kaoru Mitoma, Mohammed Kudus, and Bryan Mbeumo are all being eyed.
Leao, who has a €175 million (£147m) release clause, will be the most expensive winger among the above players, along with Rodrygo.
Three other attackers have been offered to Arsenal
Berta’s list contains a wide variety of attackers for Arsenal.
A few names above – like Gyokeres, Sesko, Rodrygo, Leao and Williams – are all exciting, and we’re sure Gooners will be delighted if any of them are signed.
Berta, however, has even more options.
The report claims that Bayern Munich star Leroy Sane, Ademola Lookman of Atalanta and Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic have all been offered to Arsenal.
It remains to be seen if any of those three will be of interest to Berta.
