BBC: Arsenal is unlikely to sign Isaac but not completely give up, Zubimendi is expected to join

reported on May 9 that after being eliminated in the Champions League semi-finals, Arsenal missed the important championship again this season. BBC famous reporter Sami Mokbel posted a message talking about the team's next signing plan.

It is no secret that Arsenal hopes to spend a lot of money to sign a new striker this summer. What Arteta wants the most is Newcastle striker Isaac, and the club management almost also supports the introduction of this Swedish international. Sources told the BBC that Isaac is open to transfer to London, but he may have other options and Liverpool is interested in him.

But all suitors may face the same obstacle: high transfer fees. Arsenal admitted that signing Isaac would drain most of their budget and they need to strengthen other positions, so the possibility of this deal is unlikely. Newcastle insists that Isaac is not a product, and the players still have three years of contract with the club. If Newcastle qualifies for the Champions League, the difficulty of signing Isaac will be further increased. However, money always plays a decisive role in any market, and Arsenal has not completely given up on introducing Isaac.

In addition to Isaac, Arsenal also has other goals: Leipzig forward Cesco and Portuguese forward Yorke Champions League. The former is Arsenal's long-term goal, approaching joining last summer and asking for a price again in January, but Leipzig insists that it has no intention of selling and that Arsenal does not want to clash with them before possible negotiations this summer. With Berta taking office as Arsenal director, it has been reported in recent weeks that despite doing a lot of preliminary work for Sesco, the club also supports signing Cres.

Although both Cesco and Yorkez have termination clauses, there are signs that their clubs are willing to negotiate a lower transfer fee. The latter is considered a more cost-effective option, but there are some doubts about him, worried about whether Yorke can bring his performance in Portugal to the Premier League. In addition, considering that he will turn 27 before the start of next season, higher transfer fees will bring financial difficulties.

Arsenal is also seeking to sign a winger, and Bilbao's Nico Williams is a real target, the Spanish international has a 58 million euro sack, but his salary will rank among the highest among Arsenal players. At the same time, Dortmund winger Gittens is also rumored to have connections with Arsenal.

midfielder reinforcement work has been basically completed. Royal Society midfielder Zubimendi is expected to join Arsenal this summer, with the transfer led by interim sports director Eto. As for whether Arsenal will sign another midfielder, it will depend on Thomas' contract renewal negotiations. In terms of the defense line, Arsenal's top priority is to renew his contract with Saliba and Gabriel. Saliba's future is particularly critical for Arsenal, as there are rumors that Real Madrid is interested in him. At the same time, Gabriel has also attracted the attention of Saudi team. Therefore, Arsenal is also considering the possibility of signing Bournemouth central defender Wyson, who has a 50 million pound termination clause. In addition, the Gunners may also be looking for a substitute goalkeeper in the market and have negotiated with Espanyol's Joan Garcia.

In addition to Thomas, Saliba and Gabriel, Arsenal is also discussing a contract renewal with Saka. The preliminary dialogue is very positive. It is expected that the two sides will reach an agreement. The 23-year-old Saka is expected to become one of the highest-paid players in the Premier League. Skeli and Envanelli's contract renewal has also been put on the agenda, and Trosad's future also needs to be resolved. No agreement has been reached at present, but to avoid players leaving for free next summer, Arsenal may consider selling it to Saudi Arabia.

Arsenal also plans to supplement funds by selling some marginal players, and the team delayed hearing his offer due to Jesus' serious injury. The club hopes to sell Zinchenko, Sterling will return to Chelsea, and Tavarez, Vieira and Loconga may leave the team.
