Arsenal are preparing for another massive summer as they aim to build on the remarkable success of the 2025-26 campaign.
The Gunners won the Premier League title after 22 years and were just one step away from lifting the coveted UEFA Champions League trophy.
According to The Daily Mail, Arsenal admire Brentford striker Igor Thiago but could face intense competition to bring him to the Emirates Stadium.
Manager Mikel Arteta has already challenged the Arsenal hierarchy to take the squad to another level by adding even greater quality during the transfer window.
The Gunners are searching for a new striker capable of consistently delivering goals in the Premier League while easing the burden on Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz.
They are also looking to sign a world-class left winger and a midfielder.
Although Havertz enjoyed an impressive campaign, recurring injury setbacks once again limited his availability during key moments of the season.
Thiago could prove to be an extremely smart addition to the current Arsenal squad.
The Brazilian forward scored 22 Premier League goals last season, finishing second only to Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland in the scoring charts.
Brentford are famously tough negotiators and are expected to demand a huge transfer fee before allowing their star attacker to leave.
His stock could rise even further if he produces standout performances for Brazil at the upcoming FIFA World Cup.
Arsenal may now need to move quickly if they want to win the race for his signature and become unstoppable in attack next season.
