Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Arsenal are pushing to secure one final signing before the transfer window closes, with a forward being the top priority.
Arsenal Set to Make One Last Big Move: Fabrizio Romano on Gunners’ Forward Target
With an impressive start to the Premier League season, where the Gunners have collected maximum points from their first two games, Mikel Arteta is keen to bolster his attacking options as they aim to challenge for the title.
The Arsenal boss has already made strides in strengthening the squad with the acquisition of Spanish midfielder Mikel Merino, who is set to be announced imminently after completing his medical over the weekend.
Merino’s arrival will mark Arsenal’s second major signing of the summer, but it seems Arteta isn’t done yet.
Romano, the renowned transfer guru, has hinted that Arsenal’s sights are now firmly set on bringing in a versatile forward before the deadline.
While there has been speculation linking the Gunners with several names, including Victor Osimhen, Romano suggests that a winger is more likely to be added to the squad.
One name that has been heavily mentioned is Nico Williams of Athletic Bilbao, a player whose talents have caught the attention of several top clubs across Europe.
However, Romano indicates that a move for Williams is currently unlikely, as the winger seems committed to staying with his boyhood club in Spain.
Nevertheless, Arsenal’s determination to add another offensive weapon to their ranks highlights their ambition for the season.
With Gabriel Jesus sidelined due to injury concerns and questions about his goal-scoring consistency, the need for a reliable forward has become even more pressing.
The Gunners’ activity in the final days of the transfer window will be closely watched, as a high-profile signing could not only bolster their attacking options but also send a strong signal to their Premier League rivals.
Whether Arsenal can pull off a late deal remains to be seen, but one thing is clear—Arteta and his team are leaving no stone unturned in their quest for success this season.
