With the ability to sign the best players in Europe thanks to their outstanding season, Arsenal enters uncharted territory for the 2023 summer transfer window. There are undoubtedly many advantages Mikel Arteta will be able to gain from the club's position of strength, even though it has its issues, such as having to compete with elite clubs at exorbitant rates.
To resume its pursuit of the league championship and other major trophies in the upcoming season, Arsenal will need to make many acquisitions this summer. The time has come for Mikel Arteta's players to step up their game, thus reinforcements are required. This calls for strengthening several positions with players available for inexpensive pick-up. On that note, let’s check out the top 5 players who could join Arsenal in the summer transfer window.
Declan Rice
Declan Rice, a West Ham midfielder who is supposedly available for less than £80 million, appears to be Arsenal's top target during the summer transfer window. He is rumoured to be interested in a move to Arsenal as well, but they will have to beat off Chelsea, Manchester United, and Manchester City for his services. Rice is about to leave West Ham in search of Champions League play after rejecting many opportunities to extend his contract at the London Stadium.
Brahim Diaz
However, according to sources in Spain, Arsenal may make a move for Brahim Diaz when the playmaker returns to Real Madrid from his loan at AC Milan. The Italian powerhouses have the option to purchase the 23-year-old from Milan for an estimated €22 million, so his Milan transfer might become permanent. Since his fellow countryman, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is rumoured to be a fan, Arsenal recently indicated an interest in making Diaz an offer.
Dusan Vlahovic
Dusan Vlahovic has been linked with Arsenal as their next striker. The 23-year-old has made an excellent impression while playing for Juventus. In 18 appearances, he has totalled 9 goals, earning a name for himself for Juventus as a striker. After a transfer drama that spanned the whole month of January, Juventus defeated Arsenal to sign the Fiorentina star. At one time, the 23-year-old looked set to head to the Emirates Stadium.
Vitor Roque
Another famous Brazilian is also about to join the Gunners, beating off stiff competition for a highly sought-after wonderkid. Arsenal is in the lead in the hunt to sign Athletico Panaraense's much-discussed Vitor Roque.
Marco Asensio
The Spanish winger will leave the Bernabeu either this summer or next summer since he has lost his position at Real Madrid. In recent months, he has received significant attention from Premier League powerhouses Arsenal and Liverpool. Gunners are hopeful that Arteta would use Marco Asensio in his setup. The North London club does require him for their offensive options, and if Asensio is selected by the Gunners, he may show Arteta wrong.
Youri Tielemans
This summer, Youri Tielemans is still on Arsenal's radar, and they ought to sign him. Arsenal hasn't given up on acquiring Youri Tielemans yet. It depends on how well the Gunners do in their other tasks. Gunners will have more money to spend on Tielemans if they can generate some sales. The importance of adding a midfielder rises if they sell one or two of their current players.
