Arsenal's dream attack: Eze deal agreed as Martinelli swapped for £70m superstar

Arsenal are not wasting time in the transfer market, as Viktor Gyokeres became their sixth addition of the summer alongside Noni Madueke, Martin Zubimendi, Christian Norgaard, Kepa Arrizabalaga and Cristhian Mosquera. And the Gunners are not finished there either, answering calls for more firepower by trying to recruit additional forwards.

Gyokeres was the number nine that Mikel Arteta's side had been crying out for. But they remain in talks for Crystal Palace creator Eberechi Eze and a dream window would see more incomings on top. Here, Express Sport has taken a look at how Arsenal's dream attack could be constructed.

Eberechi Eze deal agreed

Eberechi Eze had a release clause in his contract to the tune of £68million, but various reports claim that the ability to trigger that clause expired on Saturday. If Arsenal want to sign the England football team midfielder, they will now have to negotiate directly with Palace.

However, they had already been doing so, in attempts to convince the Eagles to accept a lower fee or at least part of the release clause in multiple payments.

It is not thought that Palace's asking price for Eze has changed following the expiration of the clause. They still want £68m and according to The Guardian, over half of that fee paid up front.

The Gunners are still lurking and it would be some sign of intent if they splashed the cash once more.

Gabriel Martinelli swapped for superstar

In addition to Eze, a superstar winger in the form of Real Madrid's Rodrygo has been mooted. He could leave for a figure of approximately £70m, having fallen down the pecking order and Xabi Alonso giving priority to Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr.

To afford Rodrygo and Eze, at least one big exit would surely take place.

Out of Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, the former would command a larger fee, especially after Trossard was taken off with an injury in the friendly defeat to Tottenham.

Saudi Pro League clubs have a vested interest in Martinelli.

Wonderkids make leaps

In addition to a blockbuster couple of signings, starlets Ethan Nwaneri and Max Dowman have been impressive during pre-season and are likely to be part of Arteta's squad for the coming season.

Expectations will have to be tempered, especially for 15-year-old Dowman, but through them Arsenal can build for the future while supplementing the current attack.

The likes of Madueke, Trossard, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus will all be looking to put pressure on the starting XI, also.
