Other left-wing options remain firmly in the frame. Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Bynoe-Gittens has emerged as a serious target, with Arsenal reportedly in negotiations to beat Chelsea to his £45m signing. Meanwhile, the versatile Matheus Cunha is another option being closely tracked, capable of playing both on the left and through the centre. Arsenal have recently made a late attempt to hijack a deal to bring the Brazilian in, with Manchester United also keen.
Despite the growing shortlist of wingers, Arsenal’s top priority remains signing a striker who can offer goals, physicality, and flexibility in attack. But with the likelihood of Trossard moving on, the club’s wide options could be reshaped in the coming weeks as part of a wider summer overhaul.
Arsenal’s pursuit of a new left winger reflects Mikel Arteta’s desire to increase unpredictability and depth in the final third. While Gabriel Martinelli remains the club’s first-choice on the left, the lack of a consistent, high-level alternative has been noticeable, especially in tight matches. Trossard, despite his technical quality and occasional goal contributions, has struggled for consistency and may be moved on to free up space and funds. He has just a year left on his contract and is now in his 30’s.
Bringing in a dynamic, direct winger like Williams or Gordon would allow Arsenal to maintain attacking intensity throughout a long season, particularly as they look to compete on multiple fronts again next year.
