Arsenal are entering a busy summer transfer window as manager Mikel Arteta looks to strengthen his squad in order to challenge for the title next season. The Gunners are actively pursuing Eintracht Frankfurt youngster Hugo Ekitike, while also parting ways with some familiar names and preparing to welcome a host of quality new signings.
According to Bild , Arsenal have officially entered the race to sign Hugo Ekitike, a 23-year-old French striker currently playing for Frankfurt. This player is highly regarded for his speed, technique and flexible finishing ability, and has even been compared to the legendary Thierry Henry, an immortal icon at Emirates Stadium.
Ekitike is now being seriously considered as Arsenal look to sign a world-class striker. Other high-profile deals such as Viktor Gyokeres (Sporting Lisbon) and Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig) have faced stiff competition from other big clubs, leaving Ekitike as a viable option. The expected price tag for the striker is around £85 million.
Along with the new deals, Arsenal are also carrying out a squad clean-up. Thomas Partey will officially leave the team as a free agent after failing to reach an agreement on a new deal. The Ghanaian midfielder's contract expires on June 30, and he will bid farewell to Emirates after a difficult journey since joining from Atletico Madrid in 2020.
To replace Partey, Arsenal have agreed a deal to sign Christian Norgaard from Brentford for £9.3m. The Danish midfielder is expected to bring solidity and experience to Arteta's midfield.
Another big-money deal on the way is Martin Zubimendi. The Real Sociedad player is likely to join Arsenal in the near future to add depth and creativity to the midfield.
In the goalkeeper position, Arsenal are preparing to welcome Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea. The North London team is said to have activated the £5 million release clause to recruit the Spaniard, who was once the world's most expensive goalkeeper.
With their intense and ambitious transfer activities, Arsenal have shown that they are ready to invest heavily to upgrade their squad. The goal of Arteta and his team is nothing other than competing for the Premier League title and going deep in the Champions League in the 2025-2026 season.
