With Leandro Trossard set to leave, and Gabriel Martinelli also expected to depart Arsenal this summer, the Gunners continue to pursue a double move for Morgan Rogers and Bradley Barcola. The club is determined to strengthen its attacking options as it prepares for another campaign at the highest level.
Arsenal can no longer afford to sign players who are unlikely to make an immediate impact. Instead, the club is expected to focus only on players capable of improving the quality of the squad and helping the team compete for the biggest honours.
Arsenal target attacking reinforcements
Mikel Arteta wants to take the next step by winning the Champions League after guiding Arsenal to the Premier League title. Strengthening the squad is expected to be a priority, and both Rogers and Barcola are viewed as players who could help the club achieve that objective.
Barcola has won back-to-back Champions League trophies, while Rogers won the Europa League this summer. Their experience of winning major European honours is regarded as an important quality that could further strengthen Arsenal’s dressing room.
Both attackers are considered among the best players available in their positions, and Arsenal believes they would add significant quality to the squad. The club sees them as ideal additions ahead of next season.
Arsenal remain determined to complete deals
According to Team Talk, Arsenal has not given up on signing either player despite both clubs being reluctant to sell. The report suggests the Gunners may have to pay substantial transfer fees if they are to convince their respective clubs to agree to deals.
Arsenal is continuing to work behind the scenes in an effort to make the transfers happen. The club remains committed to strengthening the squad with players capable of making an immediate contribution.
There is a growing belief that both moves could still be completed during this transfer window if negotiations progress positively. Arsenal will continue exploring every opportunity to bring the two attackers to the Emirates before the window closes.

I wouldn’t want Arsenal to replace both Trossard and Martinelli in one summer. That could destabilise the team.
If Trossard is leaving, as seems likely now, Martinelli should stay. He is young and still has a lot of room to improve
The left side is going to go through a major overhaul and if somebody stumps up 50 mil for Martinelli, then two new left sided players will come in. Will somebody pay 50 mil for Martinelli? They wouldn’t last summer. And will we get Rogers and Barcola? That would be a massive upgrade.
Martinelli is better than both Barcola and Rogers. The biggest problem is that we have a coach that dont know how to use him. He is very influential in any game even when he don’t score. Ancellotti made a terrible mistake by removing him against Norway and they paid darely for it.
Arteta’s best result as a coach was a 5-1 demolition of Man City season before last and Martinelli was the star performer from the right of attack, in place of injured Saka whose 14 appearances against Man City only produced 1 winning and 3 draws.
Selling Martinelli will be a terrible mistake.
Excellent analysis
Martinelli is a key influencial attacker…and mustn’t be sold
Barcola – NO
Rogers – YES
Martinelli – STAYS
Norgaard – OUT
Bruno Guimarães – IN
Right back options seriously considered.
Champions League crown in the bag plus EPL clubs beware ….. Arsenal gunning for EPL and FA Cup double triumph.
To me both Rogers and Barcola are great players. Though as the has stablised and understanding the team playing system, Martinel would still be left for only this season as the two get connected to the way how the club does it. If Martinel is going then vinc. Jnr from Real Mad should come in. Since Alvarez is no more deal Arteta should ensure these 4 players come in.
1. Rogers
2. Barcola
3. Vinc. Junior
4. Bruno Gum
This will be a great deal.
Thats my thinking. This squad would be great.
What should be very important Arteta should minimize selling off many players to ensure the squad depth is strong. That’s what helped us no to loose unnecessarily.
Otherwise Next season is going to be tougher than last season as we have 3 clubs strengthenig their squad
1. Man U
2. Chelsea
3. Man City
