Arsenal compile list of potential strikers while Chelsea deal with transfer dilemma.

Ivan Toney, the talented striker from Brentford, received applause from fans following the Premier League match against Wolverhampton Wanderers. However, it seems that Toney’s future may lie elsewhere, as Arsenal has drawn up a shortlist of potential strikers for the summer transfer window.

According to The Mirror, Arsenal is interested in signing a striker and Toney is one of their targets. However, they are also considering other options such as Benjamin Sesko, Viktor Gyokeres, Pedro Neto, Nico Williams, and Martin Zubimendi. The Gunners will face Toney and Brentford at the Emirates on Saturday, which could be a crucial match in determining his future.

Brentford is aware of the interest in Toney and is prepared for a potential bidding war with Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham. The club has set an £80 million price tag for the striker, which may influence Arsenal’s decision. When asked about a potential move for Toney, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta remained tight-lipped, stating that he does not discuss other players.

Despite their impressive goal-scoring record, Arsenal is still looking to shake up their forward line and is likely to make a move for a new centre forward this summer.

In other transfer news, Manchester United is facing a dilemma regarding Antony’s future at Old Trafford. The club needs to consider the financial implications of keeping the player, as they may struggle to meet financial regulations without making a profit. The Independent suggests that Antony’s departure could help United reshape their squad and free up funds for new signings.

Similarly, Chelsea is facing a transfer conundrum due to their heavy spending and financial losses. The club lost over £90 million in their last accounting period and could be in breach of profit and sustainability rules. The Telegraph reports that Chelsea’s latest set of accounts, which are yet to be posted, will raise concerns about their ability to comply with financial regulations. The club insists that they can operate within the Premier League’s rules and expects to do so in the future.

Finally, there are reports that former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel could be open to a return to Stamford Bridge. Tuchel was sacked by Todd Boehly in 2022 but has since found success at Bayern Munich. However, he will be leaving the German club at the end of the season, and a return to the Premier League could be on the cards. Tuchel’s relationship with Boehly was strained during his previous tenure, but it remains to be seen if they can reconcile their differences.

Overall, the summer transfer window promises to be an exciting time for English football, with clubs like Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea facing important decisions regarding their squads and finances.
