Five wingers Arsenal could sign if move for Nico Williams fails
Arsenal have fallen short of their targets again this season, and face a pivotal summer to change the narrative next term.
Signing a striker is a top priority, and Viktor Gyokeres has been heavily linked to the club.
Arsenal are also looking for a left winger who can offer the same threat as Bukayo Saka on the right.
Nico Williams is their top target, but his high wage demands could scupper the move. Here are five alternative options the Gunners could target.
Anthony Gordon
Anthony Gordon has developed into one of the top left-wingers in the Premier League. The 24-year-old has been a key part of Newcastle United’s attack.
He has pace, skill and the hunger to score goals. Gordon can also play different attacking roles.
The former Everton star has bagged six goals and six assists in 31 league appearances this term. He would be a decent acquisition for Arsenal.
Ademola Lookman
Ademola Lookman has enjoyed a strong season in Italy with Atalanta after helping them win the Europa League last term.
The Gunners have been linked with the winger, who has recorded 19 goals and seven assists across all competitions for the Serie A club.
He can play out wide or just behind the striker, and his experience could help Arsenal in big games.
Jamie Bynoe-Gittens
Jamie Bynoe-Gittens has told Borussia Dortmund he plans to leave this summer, and Arsenal are one of the clubs watching him.
Even though Dortmund have struggled this season, he has still tallied 12 goals and five assists. His speed and sharp footwork would bring something fresh to Arsenal’s attack.
Rafael Leao
Leao is arguably the biggest name on the list and would be a great fit in the Arsenal squad.
Despite AC Milan’s mixed performances, the Portuguese winger has remained one of the most consistent performers in Serie A.
He can play out wide or lead the line, offering goals and assists that would perfectly balance Saka’s threat.
Quick on the break and dangerous in one-on-one moments, the 2021/22 Serie A Player of the Season would bring a new level of attacking quality to Arteta’s team.
Antoine Semenyo
Antoine Semenyo has been a big part of Bournemouth’s success this season.
He has bagged 11 goals and seven assists this season and is now being watched by several top clubs.
If Arsenal need a cheaper option than Williams, Semenyo could be the smart choice. He is quick, sharp and gives defenders a hard time.
