Mikel Arteta is due to have a budget of over £100m to spend on talent this year, and so they should try and bring in some explosive talent. One player that Arsenal are likely to sign is Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres, who is expected to cost around £59 million.
However, they will need more if they want to keep pace with Liverpool and Manchester City next season. A Reds transfer target could be the ideal addition in attack.

The Brazilian attacker has a blend of pace and skill on the ball, which means Arsenal could bring him in, and have themselves a young player, who is perfect at carrying the ball and both finishing it himself or laying it off to a teammate.
If the Gunners were to add Gyokeres, Pedro could be the ideal partner for the Swedish international, especially considering Gabriel Jesus‘ injury problems, that could keep him out until January 2026.
