Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has reportedly emerged as an ambitious dream target, although any deal would likely require a record-breaking fee.

Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon is also being considered as a more realistic Premier League option amid uncertainty surrounding his future.

Further forward, Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez is another player strongly linked with the club. Arsenal are thought to admire the Argentine despite Viktor Gyokeres impressing this season.

Barcelona and PSG are also monitoring Alvarez, which could trigger a major transfer battle.

In midfield, West Ham’s Mateus Fernandes has reportedly attracted interest because of his versatility and age profile.

Meanwhile, Newcastle defender Tino Livramento is also admired as Arsenal continue searching for long-term defensive depth.

The summer could prove crucial as Arsenal attempt to build a squad capable of sustaining success both domestically and in Europe.
