With the transfer window moving towards its conclusion, Arsenal are continuing to explore attacking reinforcements, with the left flank emerging as a key area of focus for Mikel Arteta.

After failing to secure the Vinicius Jr deal, the Gunners are still actively in the market for a winger. Despite bringing on Christos Tzolis, Arsenal want to bolster the position.

The Arsenal manager is looking for greater pace, versatility and cutting edge in the final third as the club assesses both attainable targets and ambitious long-term options. Leandro Trossard has already left the club for a move to Besiktas, while Gabriel Martinelli is also poised to leave, which makes the left wing addition even more crucial.

Bradley Barcola

Bradley Barcola remains one of Arsenal’s most attractive options because of his explosive pace, direct running and ability to beat defenders in one-on-one situations. Arsenal have monitored the Paris Saint-Germain winger closely, with potential competition from Liverpool adding another complication. PSG’s valuation of Barcola, however, could make negotiations extremely difficult and expensive.

Iliman Ndiaye

Iliman Ndiaye could offer Arsenal a more realistic route to strengthening their attack. The Everton forward has Premier League experience and can operate in several attacking roles. His movement, pressing intensity and ability to link midfield with attack suit Arteta’s tactical demands. His versatility also makes him a potentially valuable squad addition.

Rafael Leao

Rafael Leao remains an enticing option for Arsenal because of his pace, physical power and ability to create chances from the left. However, a deal with AC Milan would be extremely challenging. The Portuguese international is regarded as a key figure at San Siro, while his enormous valuation could make a late move financially unrealistic for Arsenal.

Rodrygo

Rodrygo is another high-profile name admired for his technical quality, versatility and experience at the highest level. Arsenal would face significant obstacles in attempting to sign the Real Madrid forward, with the Spanish giants reluctant to lose an important member of their attack. His contract situation and likely asking price make a deal particularly difficult at this stage.

Kenan Yildiz

Kenan Yildiz has emerged as one of Europe’s most exciting young attacking talents and is reportedly highly regarded by Arsenal. The Turkish international’s long-term commitment to Juventus, however, has strengthened the Italian club’s position. Juventus are unlikely to consider his departure unless presented with an extraordinary offer, potentially pushing the transfer beyond the €100 million mark.
