Arsenal Midfielder Reportedly Set to Depart Amid Mikel Arteta's Search for New Signing

Arsenal Midfielder Reportedly Set to Depart Amid Mikel Arteta's Search for New Signing

The summer transfer window is approaching, and Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, may be looking to make some significant changes to his squad. With Kepa possibly leaving the club, Arteta will need to find a reliable backup goalkeeper for next season.

Should Kepa move on, the club is reportedly interested in Leeds United's Illan Meslier. The 23-year-old French goalkeeper lost his place in the starting lineup last season and is out of contract this summer, making him available on a free transfer.

Arteta is hoping to make at least four signings this summer, with the right-back, central midfield, left wing, and up front positions in need of strengthening. The club is also expected to make some departures from the title-winning squad, with Leandro Trossard being the subject of a bid from Turkish side Besiktas.

Another player who may be on the move is Gabriel Jesus. The Brazil striker has indicated that his future could lie in Italy, and he has spoken fondly of the Serie A league, where he grew up watching matches as a child.

Jesus's comments came after scoring two goals at San Siro against Inter, which he described as making his dream come true. However, he has not ruled out staying with Arsenal and is currently focused on working with the team to see what the future holds.
