Arsenal remains aggressively committed to signing two key attacking targets this coming summer despite recently signing contracts.
Benjamin Sesko remains an intriguing target despite RB Leipzig striker’s contract extension last year; London club Arsenal plans on making him their primary focus once more in 2025 summer transfer window. Matheus Cunha, linked with Arsenal this January and expected to sign new Wolves contract that includes release clause, is another target and remains of considerable interest even as new contract could prevent an imminent move this winter – although Arsenal appears determined to pursue him further before signing said new deal later on this summer.
Even with a potential new deal at Wolves for Cunha, which hints at a possible exit in the summer, particularly if the team faces relegation, it appears Arsenal sees an opportunity. The player’s versatility makes him a valuable asset, capable of playing not just upfront but also out wide or in an attacking midfield role.
Summer Strategic Moves: Who Are Arsenal Eyeing?
Bringing both Sesko and Cunha on board could provide Arsenal with a much-needed bolstering of their attacking options. Sesko, with his prowess as a traditional number 9, could be the solution Arsenal’s manager Mikel Arteta is looking for, offering an alternative to the inconsistent performances of players like Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard. On the other hand, Cunha could offer flexibility and depth, potentially reducing the team’s heavy reliance on Bukayo Saka and providing an alternative to Kai Havertz, who, despite good performances, may not be viewed as the long-term answer in the striker’s role.
Dusan Vlahovic has recently been linked with Arsenal as one of his potential destinations after expected departure from Juventus; Manchester United and PSG also appear keenly interested.
Arsenal supporters should view these potential moves as positive steps toward strengthening the squad and providing hope of more consistent and potency attacking play during future campaigns.
