They are already in talks with Brugge, who bought the attacker for around \u00a36 million.<\/p>\n<p>With Gabriel Jesus expected to be offloaded this summer, Tresoldi could find some game time under his belt at the Gunners next season. He could also challenge Kai Havertz to become the north London side&#8217;s backup striker.<\/p>\n<h2>Arsenal told to buy new striker this summer<\/h2>\n<p>Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has opined that Arsenal do not have world-class forwards in their squad this campaign. He recently said on The Overlap (h\/t <a href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2026\/03\/26\/jamie-carragher-urges-mikel-arteta-replace-64m-star-reveals-arsenal-worry-27678928\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Metro<\/a>):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;They are the best team in the league and have an amazing record but I still look at the attack and think it&#8217;s only okay. There&#8217;s no star player and sometimes you need that player when you&#8217;re not playing well like they weren&#8217;t in the cup final. I don&#8217;t think they have enough special players in attack and that would worry me a bit for the Champions League.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The former England and Liverpool centre-back added:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I thought two years ago that (Bukayo) Saka and (Martin) Odegaard were going to be the real deal and be like (Mohamed) Salah and (Kevin) De Bruyne. They were nearly there. Arsenal are probably going to win the league but if they do I don&#8217;t think any of the attacking players will think they&#8217;ve had an amazing season. It&#8217;s just not clicked.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Following Gunners great Ian Wright&#8217;s analysis of summer signing Viktor Gyokeres&#8217; performance in the EFL Cup final, Carragher stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;You still need to buy a centre-forward.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Gyokeres, who is his team&#8217;s starting striker now, is the only Arsenal player to score more than 10 Premier League goals this season. The \u00a364 million arrival has netted 16 times in 42 overall matches for the Gunners so far.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\" title=\"like article\"><br \/>\n<img class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" data-lazy=\"\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\" title=\"dislike article\"><br \/>\n<img class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" data-lazy=\"\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Thank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Debkalpa Banerjee<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arsenal are reportedly in pole position to sign Club Brugge star Nicolo Tresoldi this summer, with the German striker currently relishing an excellent 2025-26 season.
