Arsenal set for €200m spending spree as Arteta targets FOUR new signings

Arsenal are set to back Mikel Arteta in the transfer market with a €200 million spending spree during the upcoming summer window.

The Gunners boss was “disappointed” by their lack of business in January, but the club are set to rectify that by signing at least four new players this summer.

Arsenal have failed to win the Premier League title since 2004 and they are aiming to end their drought next campaign with several big-money additions as Arteta pushes to bring reinforcements to the Emirates Stadium.

In fact, Spanish outlet Fichajes have reported that Arsenal will look to sign a goalkeeper, a central midfielder, a winger and a striker during the next transfer window.

Espanyol shot-stopper Joan Garcia is currently their preferred goalkeeper target and the Gunners will pursue a move for the 23-year-old in their bid to sign an adequate back-up to David Raya.

Meanwhile, Real Sociedad star Martin Zubimendi is expected to arrive in north London to provide additional midfield depth, with Thomas Partey and Jorginho both currently set to become free agents in July.

As reported by FootballTransfers, Arsenal will push to bring Athletic Club’s Nico Williams to the club, as they look for a new winger, and they will also finally sign an out-and-out number nine.

We have been informed that Benjamin Sesko remains a key target for Arteta, while Fichajes state that Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak, Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres and Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins will also be pursued.

Arsenal set for spending spree

Using FootballTransfers’ Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) model, Arsenal can expect to pay at least €200m to sign all four of the aforementioned positions this summer.

Garcia and Zubimendi have a combined ETV of €68.3m, while Williams’ ETV stands at €71.2m – although he has a bargain release clause of €58m.

Isak, Gyokeres and Watkins each have an ETV of at least €65m, but Arsenal will likely be forced to pay in excess of €75m to land their desired centre forward target this summer.
