Arsenal have kicked off their summer transfer window with a major move, securing one of Europe’s top strikers for £122 million.
The highly sought-after forward, who found the net 29 times last season, has committed to a long-term six-year contract with the Gunners. This move reflects manager Mikel Arteta’s determination to strengthen the squad ahead of their Premier League and Champions League campaigns.
Despite strong competition from major clubs including Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid, Arsenal moved swiftly to secure their priority attacking target. The signing sends a clear message of the club’s intent to challenge for major honors both domestically and in Europe.
The striker’s identity will be officially revealed soon at a special presentation at the Emirates Stadium, but excitement among fans is already at fever pitch. Many are calling it Arsenal’s most significant signing since bringing in Mesut Özil back in 2013.
Renowned for his explosive pace, sharp finishing, and ability to play both centrally and on the flanks, the new addition is expected to make an immediate impact on Arteta’s starting XI and greatly enhance Arsenal’s attacking options.
Club director Edu Gaspar, who played a key role in negotiating the transfer, said: “We are thrilled to welcome a striker of this caliber to Arsenal. His proven track record speaks for itself, and we believe he will have an immediate and long-term impact. This is a signing for now and for the future.”
Reports suggest the player will earn £250,000 a week, placing him among the highest earners at the club — a sign of Arsenal’s determination to attract top-level talent as they push to reclaim their spot among Europe’s elite.
Supporters are now eagerly awaiting the striker’s official debut, hoping this major acquisition could be the final piece in Arteta’s ambitious project. More details, including his unveiling and first interview, are expected to be released shortly
