Although this season has given Arsenal supporters everything to be proud of, it ended in heartache and a million what-ifs. Mikel Arteta’s team battled Manchester City right up to the very end but lost. They scored five goals less than the reigning champions, even though they had the league’s strongest defense. Though good Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus are, the Gunners need a new number nine. According to recent sources, they could get one as a player who has outperformed both Arsenal players is highly rumored to be moving to N5.
For this season, Edu Gaspar and his group are actively looking for a new striker. Already connected to the Emirates are Alexander Isak, Victor Osimhen, and Benjamin Sesko. But Lautaro Martínez has now surfaced under another name. Arsenal is interested in the Inter Milan player and is planning a €90 million offer to persuade the Italian club to sell him, which works out to around £77 million, according to a Spanish story from the weekend.
Arsenal Is Ready To Bid For The £77m Striker
According to the report, Inter Milan is having financial difficulties off the field even if they are doing well on it. Though it would be preferable to sell Martínez, they are prepared to work with the Gunners if they make the appropriate offer. The Kroenkes would have made another substantial investment in the first team if this purchase goes through. Arsenal might find it worthwhile to make the expenditure considering the Argentine’s outstanding record this season and their need for a reliable goal scorer.
How does Martínez stack up against Arsenal’s present forwards if the club invests much to get him to the Emirates this summer? This season the World Cup champion has been significantly more successful. His 27 goals in 44 games are more than Havertz’s and Jesus’ combined totals of 14 and 8, respectively. Martínez’s 34 goal involvements is only three less than the 37 goal involvements of Havertz and Jesus taken together.
Arsenal wants to improve their offensive, as shown by their chase of Martínez. Should they be successful, it may be the secret to getting over their close call this season and making another run at the Premier League championship.

Arsenal has its eye on Désiré Doué, the youthful attacker for Rennes. Doué is someone manager Mikel Arteta wants to get to the Emirates, and he has asked the Arsenal board to step up their efforts. Not only Arsenal, however, is intrigued. Talented France U23 international is also being sought after by Leverkusen and Napoli.
By starting talks early, Arteta thinks Arsenal can outmanoeuvre competitors like Manchester United and Tottenham and get Doué’s signature. Arsenal is confident because they think they can provide Doué the best deal. But considering Leverkusen’s impressive results under Xabi Alonso, they must exercise caution.
Rennes, meanwhile, wants to retain Doué so he may continue to grow. Should a sizable offer, perhaps around €35 million (£30 million), came their way, they could think about selling. Rennes has relied heavily on Doué, who can play offensive midfield as well as left flank. His adaptability draws in a lot of teams.
