Arsenal Eye Gittens and Lookman Amid Summer Transfer Battle

Arsenal is targeting Borussia Dortmund Jamie Gittens, valued at £70 million after his 11-goal season. The Gunners face competition from Chelsea, Spurs, and Manchester City for the 20-year-old forward. Additionally, Arsenal is set to battle Liverpool for Atalanta Ademola Lookman, with the 27-year-old likely to leave Serie A after a standout Europa League final hat-trick.

For the upcoming summer transfer window, Arsenal is targeting Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Gittens and Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman to strengthen their squad. The Gunners, currently trailing Liverpool by 11 points in the Premier League with a game in hand, are already planning ahead despite recent setbacks.

Arsenal has reportedly intensified its pursuit of Jamie Gittens, a 20-year-old forward valued at £70 million by Dortmund. Gittens, who has scored 11 goals this season, is also attracting interest from Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester City, and Aston Villa. Having left Manchester City for Germany five years ago, he is said to be open to a return to England.

Additionally, Arsenal is set to compete with Liverpool for Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman. The 27-year-old forward, who scored a hat-trick in the 2023 Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen, is expected to leave Serie A this summer. Arsenal has made initial inquiries but has yet to step up negotiations, while Liverpool is currently leading the race for his signature.

Both players would add depth and quality to Mikel Arteta’s squad, particularly given Arsenal’s current injury concerns. Their signings could help Arsenal close the gap with title rivals and strengthen their attacking options for the next season.
