Arsenal remain in the market for a winger but may have to sell first

August 28, 2024Ligue 1

Arsenal are still in the market for a winger as they look to add depth to their attack with reports suggesting any potential move could depend on players being sold.

The Gunners have started the season with two wins from two and managed to win at Villa Park last weekend in what was perhaps an early showcase of their title credentials.

It’s been a quiet summer for Mikel Arteta’s side with only Riccardo Calafiori and Mikel Merino arriving at the Emirates, but they have also managed to move a number of players on.

Arsenal still in the market for a winger

The Gunners have agreed a deal with Southampton for Aaron Ramsdale, whilst Emile Smith Rowe and Eddie Nketiah have joined Fulham and Crystal Palace respectively.

It was thought Arsenal would sign a centre forward but after strong interest in Benjamin Sesko earlier in the summer it appears Arteta is going to stick with his options of Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz.

Arsenal could do with having back-up to Saka in the squad.

One area where Arsenal seem light is in the wide positions, particularly with back-up for Bukayo Saka and The Telegraph have reported the Gunners are still in the market for a winger to add depth to the attack.

The report states that any move could depend on selling players, with Reiss Nelson a player that could be moved on, and he’s thought to have attracted interest from the likes of West Ham.
