The Gunners are expected to back manager Mikel Arteta in the upcoming transfer window, with a midfielder being a priority on his wishlist. Everton’s midfielder Amadou Onana, who joined the club from Lille in 2022, has been rumored to be seeking a move, with Arsenal being one of the top European clubs interested in him. Arsenal is said to have laid the foundations for a potential move to the Emirates Stadium, and while Everton is not actively looking to sell Onana, they could be tempted by a suitable offer. Although there were talks about a January transfer for Onana, Everton boss Sean Dyche has dismissed the rumors, stating that any decision regarding players will be made by the club.
With Everton facing another relegation-threatened season, Onana might seek to leave Goodison Park. He could potentially join Arsenal, who are also considering exploring the center-forward market. The Sun has reported that Arsenal could be looking to make a significant investment in a striker this summer, with Benjamin Sesko, Viktor Gyokeres, and Alexander Isak being mentioned as potential targets. Isak, who has been in impressive form for Newcastle United, may be sold due to the club’s financial concerns, having scored 19 Premier League goals this season.
