In six months, the pieces will be lined up for a new season in the Premier League. Mikel Arteta hasn’t given up on taking the title this season, but even Arsenal fans have realised Liverpool aren’t going to stumble. Therefore, intense work is already being done to position themselves for the very important reinforcements at the top before the starting gun goes off for the next opportunity to take the PL title. For two Arsenal players, this could have a negative effect.
Arsenal must and should have a super striker who delivers 20-30 goals every season. With Sesko, Watkins, Gyökeres, Osimhen, Lautaro Martinez, as some of the candidates, this is going to be expensive. According to The Mirror, so expensive that one of Arteta’s two favourite players has to be “sacrificed”.
The English media claim either Leandro Trossard or Gabriel Martinelli must be sold to finance the striker’s signing within the rules of profitable and sustainable club operations.
Neither of the two players wants to leave Arsenal, Arteta does not want to sell either, but could end up as part of the game to get the big No. 9 rook on the board before the start of the season.
