Arsenal are gearing up for a bustling summer transfer window, with Mikel Arteta eager to bolster his squad with fresh talent.
The Gunners are reportedly on the brink of snapping up Real Sociedad's midfielder Martin Zubimendi as their first summer acquisition. Beyond him, Arsenal have their sights set on a new striker, with several names popping up. Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres is high on their wishlist, along with Benjamin Sesko.

On the topic of the Swedish striker, he's keeping quiet about any whispers linking him to Arsenal. Speaking with Leo Ostigard, he dished out: "We will see. Nobody knows anything yet. I wish I had a more fun answer, but that's all I can say for now."
As they wrapped up their chat, Ostigard couldn't resist a cheeky nudge: "Viktor! Great talking to you. See you soon, and text me when everything is signed and sorted down in Arsenal."
Gyokeres played along with a chuckle: "Yeah, yeah sure."
