Arsenal, fresh from a Premier League title and a Champions League final appearance, are expected to reinforce their squad this summer.
The most pressing need appears on the left wing, where Gabriel Martinelli has struggled for consistency and Leandro Trossard is slated to leave.
Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has emerged as a leading target for the Gunners. After a productive loan spell at Barcelona, the 28‑year‑old is reportedly being monitored by Arsenal’s management.
Rashford offers high‑level ability but has shown periods of inconsistency, prompting debate over his true value.
Former England defender Rio Ferdinand suggested that a £40 million fee would represent a worthwhile investment, describing the potential deal as a “sweep” for the striker.
Meanwhile, newly promoted clubs are also active in the market, with one side finalising a £20 million signing.
