Arteta demands backing, Gunners eye attacking overhaul, and United hijack shocks summer plans
Arsenal are preparing for a major summer transformation with newly appointed Sporting Director Andrea Berta positioned as a key catalyst in elevating the club’s recruitment strategy to a new level. With Josh Kroenke publicly committing to squad investment and Arteta subtly challenging the board to deliver post-Newcastle, all signs point to significant activity.
Berta’s arrival is viewed internally as a game-changer. A man with a track record at Atletico Madrid, he brings the connections and clout to secure signings Arsenal might have struggled for in previous windows. The club believes he can land “new calibre” deals to bolster areas where the team has looked thin, particularly in attack.
Among the developments:
João Pedro is admired for his technical talent at Brighton but deemed non-essential, as Arsenal need a more traditional No.9 and a proper wide attacker.
Matheus Cunha, once monitored by Arsenal in January, now looks set for Manchester United, in a move that surprised insiders given United’s current instability.
Eberechi Eze, the FA Cup final hero, is being touted as a perfect fit for Arsenal’s tactical setup—able to play wide or centrally—and may soon be on the market. Though Arsenal’s interest isn’t confirmed, insiders urge the club to make a move before rivals swoop in.
Despite recent frustrations, fans are being reassured that this summer will not echo past failures. With Berta now pulling the strings and Arteta’s intent clear, expect aggressive recruitment both in terms of high-quality incomings and overdue outgoings.
This is shaping up to be the summer that defines the Arteta era. Arsenal’s window has begun—and the Gunners are lo
aded for battle.
