Yesterday, Tuesday, everyone got to see an Arsenal with Martin Ødegaard as captain who completely took all the juice from Real Madrid and brought home a 3 – 0 victory in the first quarter-final of the Champions League. A victory that helps to finance manager Mikel Arteta’s dream of creating a fearsome attack.
The second leg at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu is on April 16.
Arsenal are preparing 200 million to put together a dream attack that will ensure that next season will not be another second place in the Premier League, but a trophy.

Mikel Arteta is working alongside newly appointed sporting director Andrea Berta (who is known to be highly skilled) in what is defined by the Daily Mail as a massive offensive that could redefine their attack. With an estimated investment of €200 million, the Gunners are planning to secure Alexander Isak and Nico Williams to form a high-voltage attacking line alongside Bukayo Saka.
The name that mostly gives fans hot flashes is Isak. The Swedish striker has been glowing this season for Newcastle, with 24 goals and five assists in 34 games. With a contract until 2028, the transfer will not be easy, but the London-based club is willing to bid 140 million euros to convince the “Magpies”. Arsenal’s sporting management sees him as the ideal ‘9’ to lead the attacking line.
At the same time, work is also being done on a transfer for Nico Williams. The Spanish international, a key player for Athletic Club, has been one of the season’s big revelators with nine goals and seven assists in 39 appearances. His explosive profile on the left wing fits perfectly into Arteta’s plans, where he seeks verticality and imbalance on the wings. The 60 million required for his signature seems like a strategic investment to strengthen a team with high ambitions.
With Saka established as one of Europe’s best right wingers, the idea of bringing together three young and complementary talents sounds like an offensive revolution. Arsenal are determined to build not only a competitive team, but also an attacking spectacle to dominate in England and Europe.
We almost have to mention that after Declan Rice has found his form and with Martin Ødegaard’s lace-up passes, we look towards a fantastically strong Arsenal team next season.
