Arsenal Eyeing Rodrygo Signing from Real Madrid

Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Rodrygo from Real Madrid, as Mikel Arteta looks to strengthen his squad and challenge for the Premier League and Champions League titles.

According to Diario AS, the Gunners have expressed an interest in the Brazilian forward, who is currently valued at €90 million by Transfermarkt. However, Rodrygo has asked for all communication to stop before the end of the Club World Cup, where he will discuss his future with Xabi Alonso.

Arsenal are willing to pay upwards of €90 million to secure Rodrygo's services, and a move for the 21-year-old would be a statement of intent from the North London club. The reinforcements Arsenal are seeking are likely to be in the front line, with a striker and versatile forward being the priority.

Rodrygo is ranked at no.6 in our website's list of the best right-wingers in the world right now, and he has the talent to help Arsenal bridge some of the gap to Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table. The Brazilian prefers to play off the left, but can also play through the middle.

Arsenal have already made two signings this summer, bringing in Kepa Arrizabalaga and Martin Zubimendu. However, they would need to balance their books before completing any deal for Rodrygo. The future of Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard is uncertain, with Trossard reportedly for sale and interest in Martinelli from Al-Nassr rumoured.

Arsenal are also reportedly in advanced talks for Viktor Gyokeres, ranked as the 8th best striker in the world according to a specific website. The signing of Rodrygo and Gyokeres would give Arsenal a formidable attacking line-up, and they would be aiming to challenge for major honours next season.

In addition to Rodrygo, Arsenal have been linked with a number of other players, including Jakub Kiwior, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Fábio Vieira, and Reiss Nelson. With the transfer window still open, it remains to be seen which players will join the club before the deadline.

The pursuit of Rodrygo is a clear sign of Arsenal's ambition to compete at the highest level, and fans will be eagerly awaiting news of any potential deal. With the right signings, Arsenal could be a force to be reckoned with next season.
