Arsenal are reportedly preparing what they feel should be a suitable offer for the potential transfer of Real Madrid forward Rodrygo Goes.
The Brazil international’s future at the Bernabeu seems increasingly in doubt ahead of this summer, and one imagines we’ll continue to see Arsenal news involving the player as he looks like a perfect fit for what they need in attack.
Rodrygo has a total of 13 goals in seven assists in all competitions for Real Madrid, despite not always being a starter for Los Blancos, so one imagines he could really flourish with more of a key role at the Emirates Stadium.
According to Fichajes, Arsenal are preparing to make an offer for Rodrygo that could satisfy Madrid’s demands.

Will Arsenal prioritise Rodrygo Goes or Nico Williams?
Still, CaughtOffside have also been informed of Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta speaking to Nico Williams, who has been more of a long-term target for the north London giants.
Both players have great quality that could be an asset to AFC, so it will be interesting to see who ends up being more of a priority.
One imagines Arsenal might also look at other options in that area of the pitch, with a clear upgrade surely needed after inconsistent campaigns from Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard.
Arsenal also need to move quickly to ensure they land a top striker for next season, as they need someone who can get 25 goals or more a season, which looks beyond Kai Havertz, while Gabriel Jesus is just far too injury-prone.
