Arsenal have added Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers and Feyenoord’s Igor Paixao to their shortlist of left-winger targets as Andrea Berta and Mikel Arteta are set to pick between four options.
Reports have claimed that the Gunners are set for a “big” summer as new sporting director Berta works to bring in several new players to bolster Arteta’s squad, though while their rivals confirm signings and push to complete more transfers in this early transfer window, Arsenal are yet to get going
Their supposed done deal for Martin Zubimendi is now in doubt, with Real Madrid pushing to hijack their £51m move for the Real Sociedad midfielder, and with striker target Viktor Gyokeres now reportedly ‘very keen’ on a move to Manchester United and RB Leipzig wanting a massive £92m for Benjamin Sesko, they’re now considering a less high-profile striker this summer.

A report has claimed that the Gunners have held ‘initial talks’ with Stuttgart ‘to gather information on Nick Woltemade’s availability’.
Arteta is thought to value his versatility and the fact he has Premier League experience, though he won’t come cheap, with Villa reportedly setting his asking price at a whopping £90m to ward of suitors.
Paixao – who’s also a target for newly-promoted Leeds – would likely be a far cheaper option, both in terms of transfer fee and wages, despite being named Dutch Footballer of the Year after his 16 goals and 13 assists in the Eredivisie for Feyenoord this term.
