Arsenal four biggest summer transfer jobs for Arteta

Unlike many sides across the top two divisions in England, Arsenal have not been particularly busy so far this summer. Still in the early days of the 2024 summer transfer window, there is little to speak of.

The closest they have come to doing meaningful business was with Benjamin Sesko and even that was wrapped up before the European Championship even started. Although there is no scramble to the June 30 profitability and sustainability rules (PSRs) deadline, there is work to be done in the coming months.




It is expected to ramp up quickly, though, with plenty still to be done. Pre-season will come round sooner rather than later; the first game (of sorts) is now just two weeks away when an Arsenal XI takes on Boreham Wood, while the tour of America is already on the horizon.

Having been active in their business 12 months ago, Mikel Arteta and Edu Gaspar will be keen to show their planning skills and efficiency again. With that in mind, here, football.london looks at the four biggest jobs to be done.

Sort that striker

It’s no secret. Arsenal need a striker. They signed Kai Havertz last summer to be a midfielder – albeit an extremely attacking one – and the attention being placed on Sesko for much of the past few months says plenty.

The Gunners are now looking at a shortlist that is still relatively long. Viktor Gyokeres, at £85million is not even the most expensive. Victor Osimhen for over £100milliion certainly is, but he is also the most proven. Joshua Zirkzee remains an option. Dominic Solanke’s name will not go away.
