- Gunners looking to land another forward
- Already have Gabriel Jesus on their books
- Home-grown star concerned about minutes
WHAT HAPPENED? The Gunners are, having competed for the Premier League title in 2022-23 and booked themselves long-awaited return tickets to the Champions League, eager to add greater quality and depth to their squad this summer.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Germany international forward Havertz is a player said to be in their sights, with the talented 24-year-old being lined up for a move from west to north London. His arrival would add more firepower to Arsenal’s ranks, with Mikel Arteta looking to find competition for and an alternative option to Brazil international striker Gabriel Jesus.
AND WHAT'S MORE: Nketiah filled that role last season, registering nine goals and three assists through 39 appearances, but The Sun reports that he may be tempted to make a push for the exits if Havertz is acquired. The 24-year-old frontman is keen to see regular game time and is said to be attracting interest from West Ham, Crystal Palace and Fulham.
