Arsenal continues to explore multiple options to strengthen their attack this summer, with Mikel Arteta’s side aiming to finish the transfer window with an improved and more competitive squad. The Gunners are reportedly keen to add at least one new attacker, though they may look to bring in more than one if the right opportunities arise.
The club has already been linked with several high-profile targets, including Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres, both of whom have been widely discussed as potential new arrivals at the Emirates. However, Arsenal’s recruitment team is also pursuing other avenues in their bid to secure attacking reinforcements.
In addition to their interest in Sesko and Gyokeres, Arsenal are now believed to be stepping up their pursuit of another Bundesliga-based player. The latest report via Caught Offside suggests that the club is working hard to finalise a deal for Jamie Gittens, a highly rated attacker currently playing for Borussia Dortmund.
Gittens has emerged as one of the most promising young players in the Bundesliga, and his performances have not gone unnoticed. Chelsea were reportedly monitoring him closely before the start of the Club World Cup, even making attempts to sign him before the tournament began. However, Borussia Dortmund rejected all approaches from the west London club.
The new report indicates that Arsenal are now shifting their focus towards securing Gittens’ signature. With Chelsea having failed in their previous bids, the Gunners appear determined to move ahead of their rivals in the race to sign the attacker.
If Arsenal can finalise a deal, Gittens could prove to be a valuable addition to their attacking options. He has already shown glimpses of top-level quality in Germany and could bring an extra dimension to Arteta’s front line next season.
The club’s ambition to compete for major honours means strengthening the attack is a priority, and bringing in a player of Gittens’ potential would align with their long-term vision for sustained success.
