Arteta’s dream squad for 2025/26 could finally dethrone City — full breakdown inside!
Detailed Update:
Arsenal are plotting a blockbuster summer rebuild with a £250 million war chest as they aim to dominate the 2025/26 season. Reports from today confirm the Gunners are close to securing Viktor Gyökeres and Martin Zubimendi, with both having agreed personal terms. Arteta’s grand vision is to assemble a squad brimming with power, intelligence, and attacking flair — and this might be the most ambitious window of his reign.
Key Details:
Viktor Gyökeres: The Sporting CP striker, one of Europe’s most lethal forwards this season, is expected to join imminently. Arsenal have met his £300,000-a-week wage demand. His goal-scoring prowess will offer a new dimension to Arsenal’s front line.
Martin Zubimendi: The Real Sociedad midfield anchor is lined up as a long-term heir to Thomas Partey. Known for his press resistance, positioning, and tactical acumen, he is considered the ideal partner to Declan Rice.
Nico Williams: Still in negotiations. Arteta is pushing hard for the Athletic Club winger. His pace, directness, and ability to beat defenders are seen as the final piece of the attacking puzzle.
Projected Starting XI (4-3-3):
GK: David Raya
RB: Ben White
CBs: William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhães
LB: Oleksandr Zinchenko
Midfield: Martin Zubimendi (DM), Declan Rice (CM), Martin Ødegaard (CM/Captain)
Attack: Bukayo Saka (RW), Viktor Gyökeres (ST), Nico Williams (LW)
Expected Exit:
To make room, Thomas Partey, Eddie Nketiah, or Reiss Nelson is likely to depart — with Partey the most probable due to his contract situation and injury record.
Outlook:
Arsenal are building not just for a title charge, but for European glory. This super squad, if finalized, could finally break City’s grip on English football and mark a new golden era for the Gunners. All eyes are now on Edu and Arteta to deliver.
