Ahead of the January transfer window, Mikel Arteta will be pondering the possibilities as his Gunners side look to hunt down runaway Premier League leaders, Liverpool.
Arsenal have needed an out an out striker for a while now, and Viktor Gyokeres is certainly a player that would fit the bill. He already has 27 goals this season per transfermarkt.
Calciomercato also report via X that Atalanta’s brilliant 25-year-old, Mateo Retegui, is a person of interest for both Arsenal and Ligue Un giants, Paris Saint-Germain.
Mateo Retegui of Atalanta
Mateo Retegui of Atalanta reacts at full-time following the team’s defeat in the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 League Phase match against Real Madrid.
It’s understood that Arsenal were in attendance for Atalanta’s 6-1 Champions League hammering of Young Boys, a match where Retegui scored twice.
The Italian has 14 goals to his name in all competitions in 24/25, and 12 have come in Serie A making him the current top scorer (BBC Sport).
Given that Atalanta themselves are also enjoying a vintage season – they’re top of the Italian top-flight per BBC Sport – it’s doubtful that they’d appreciate a move for one of their star players.
Mateo Retegui has replaced Viktor Gyokeres in Arsenal’s affections
The Argentinian really seems to be enjoying himself in Bergamo too, and given that he only joined the team in August, moving on again at the end of the current campaign would surely be too soon for all concerned.
