Arsenal is eyeing Newcastle Alexander Isak as their dream striker but may have to sell Gabriel Martinelli or Leandro Trossard to fund the move. Martinelli estimated transfer value is €60M, while Trossard is worth €30M. Arsenal is also considering RB Leipzig Benjamin Sesko and Aston Villa Ollie Watkins, alongside a potential bid for Nico Williams.
For the upcoming transfer window, Arsenal is preparing to make a move for Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak to strengthen their attacking options. The need for a new striker has become urgent, with Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus both sidelined due to injuries. Arsenal has struggled in their absence, falling 13 points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool.
Manager Mikel Arteta is also considering RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko and Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins as potential alternatives. Additionally, Arsenal is targeting Athletic Club’s Nico Williams to bolster their wing options. However, to fund these acquisitions, the club may have to sell key players. Reports suggest either Gabriel Martinelli or Leandro Trossard could be sacrificed, with Martinelli’s Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) at €60 million and Trossard’s at €30 million.
Further squad changes are expected, with Jakub Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko potentially being offloaded for a combined €61.1 million. Players like Kieran Tierney, Thomas Partey, and Jorginho will leave at the end of their contracts, helping clear wages. While losing Martinelli or Trossard would be a tough decision, Arsenal sees it as necessary to secure a world-class striker and improve their squad depth for the future.
