To strengthen their squad at the end of this season, Arsenal will need to make significant financial investments. While the Gunners already have a strong team, improving it further will require the acquisition of quality players, particularly in positions where they can add depth or new talent. This likely means that Arsenal will have to splash out on top-tier signings, potentially breaking their transfer record once again.
One area of concern for the Gunners is their attack, where most expect them to target a striker to bolster their options. The demand for quality forwards in today’s market means that acquiring a player who can make an immediate impact is going to come at a hefty price. Arsenal is not in a dire financial situation, but like many top clubs, it may need to raise funds before committing to new signings. This has led to reports that the club could part ways with one or two key players in order to balance the books and fund new acquisitions.
According to Mirror Football, Arsenal may look to sell Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard to generate the necessary funds. Both players have been important members of the squad, but with Arsenal’s need to strengthen their attack, the possibility of selling them to fund a move for a top striker has been raised. Martinelli, a young and talented winger, and Trossard, who has impressed since joining the club, could both find themselves facing uncertain futures at the Emirates.
While Martinelli and Trossard are important players, Arsenal might be willing to consider selling them if they can bring in an upgrade in the market. The challenge, however, lies in finding suitors who are willing to pay a significant fee for either player. If the Gunners are able to secure good deals for both, it could provide the financial backing necessary to secure a top-class striker or other reinforcements to take the team to the next level.
It will be interesting to see whether any clubs express serious interest in Martinelli or Trossard and what sort of transfer fees Arsenal could command. Should Arsenal opt to sell one or both, it would be a significant decision, but if it helps the club secure the necessary funds to bring in the talent they need, it could prove to be a crucial move for their future success.
ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
I will be glad to see both players leave. Martinelli in particular has stalled. We need someone consistently prolific on the left just we have Saka on the right. My opinion anyway.
Henzy,
While I hear what your saying regards Martinelli, I will say that as inconsistent as he’s been this season. The teams playing style hasn’t exactly helped him either.
Playing Tierney in the left back position would have been a big help to him. Sadly with the manager’s obsession with the inverted rubbish that he likes put an end to all that.
The last season when martinelli was really on it and scored lots of goals, zinchenko was the primary left back (and inverting), not Tierney – it’s not just about who’s playing left back. Could argue xhaka is the bigger miss if we’re going to blame team setup for martinelli’s drop off.
Not just the last season martinelli played well – his best season by far. 15 goals in the league. Tierney started 6 games that season, zinchenko started 27
@Davi
Exactly. In all fairness to Martinelli, he did have a solid overlapping exchange play with Tierney. I think we should keep him, because he does put in a very decent shift both offensively as well as defensively, in my opinion.
Hopefully they can both stay.
If we sell those 2 and end up not replacing them, then we are back to square 1 or even worse. So I don’t see that happening because even with the 2 of them I still think we need a striker and another skilled winger.
Best case scenario for Mikel – both are sold and we pay 50M for Sterling / N’Kunku or both on 250 grand per week, while Gabby leads the line. Hopefully we beat Spurs in the EPL, as it feels like winning the UCL for some of Mikel’s faithful followers.
On a serious note, Trossad and Gabby can leave (it is difficult to con other clubs nowadays to pay big money for our players, how we did for CP with Eddie). Martinelli has a future if/when Mikel leaves as he was highly rated by Klopp.
Talking of regression – Odegard and Rice have regressed, using the same logic why cannot they be binned? Why always Martinelli is handpicked?
Probably because Martinelli’s slump has been ongoing for about 2 years now. Personally I think he (or we) need another coach. Not sure Arteta can do anything to make him improve. Sad.
dgr8xt,
I couldn’t have put it better myself.😉👍
To sell Martinelli would be a mistake as he is very quick in transition and has suffered since the Manager switched to an inverted LB tactic which makes it easy for opponents to double up on him.In a conventional set up with an overlapping LB such as Robinson of Fulham, I am confident he would quickly regain his effectiveness.
His best season was when we started using the inverted tactic – zinchenko’s first season, he scored 15 league goals and zinchenko started most games, Tierney started 6…
@Grandad
👍🏾
Sell Trossard by all means, but Martinelli? C’mon now🤣
I don’t see why not at this point but obviously it would depend who they were replaced with. Trossard has often been very good, he’s won us a number of games, but he’s also inconsistent, and martinelli is useful tactically as he’s our quickest player and works very hard, but has lost an edge in front of goal – surely we could get another quick winger who’s better in front of goal?
It’s also about numbers – these are not bad players, and we don’t exactly have a huge number of attacking players to call on atm. Squad balance needs to be right.
In his current form, Martinelli is not good enough be our first choice left winger. However, I would like to keep him to compete and rotate with someone who is. If we do that, we will not miss Trossard, but he has a diminished sale value.
