Arsenal want to sign Aston Villa and England star Morgan Rogers this summer.
The Gunners already have a world-class defence and a brilliant midfield. Their aim now is to take their attack to a whole new level.
Rogers checks a lot of boxes for Arsenal, and he is, in many people’s eyes, the perfect signing for Mikel Arteta’s side.
But what happens if Unai Emery blocks the deal? The North Londoners have another option.
Imagine you are Andrea Berta. Who is your top target for Arsenal in the summer transfer window?
Arsenal could make a move for Morgan Gibbs-White if they can’t get Morgan Rogers
Arsenal always have multiple targets for each position.
The Gunners are never the sort to put all their eggs in one basket, and that is one of the reasons why their recruitment has been so good in recent years.
Morgan Rogers appears to be the dream target for Arsenal right now, and we genuinely think he would be an incredible signing.
However, The Sun have revealed that the Premier League champions will turn to Morgan Gibbs-White if they can’t get the Aston Villa superstar.
Gibbs-White was very close to leaving Nottingham Forest last summer. He had agreed everything to join Tottenham, but Evangelos Marinakis blocked the deal and convinced him to sign a new contract.
The Englishman scored 18 goals and provided seven assists in all competitions last season, which is an excellent record for someone who played most of the season in attacking midfield.
It remains to be seen now whether Marinakis will sanction a sale, especially as Elliot Anderson is expected to leave Forest as well.

Which Morgan do you want at Arsenal and WHY – Gibbs-White or Rogers?
Morgan Gibbs-White is great but Morgan Rogers is even better
Arsenal are right to have Gibbs-White on their list.
The Forest star is versatile, Premier League proven, and has shown that he can score goals and provide assists even against the big teams.
However, as good as Gibbs-White is, we think Rogers is even better.
The Aston Villa star is younger, more direct, more powerful and has a much higher ceiling. He is destined to be a superstar.
Arsenal fans won’t be too upset if they end up with Gibbs-White, but the dream has to be Rogers this summer.
