Arsenal are set to return to Premier League action this weekend as they host AFC Bournemouth at Emirates Stadium. Fresh off a 1-0 win against Sporting CP in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg, Mikel Arteta’s side will be looking to maintain momentum in the title race.

The Gunners currently sit at the top of the table with a nine-point lead and are aiming to extend their advantage. However, attention is also turning toward the summer transfer window, where the club is preparing for significant reinforcements, report alldaysport.net

Reports suggest Arsenal are closely monitoring Anthony Gordon, the Newcastle United winger who has emerged as a key transfer target. The England international is viewed as a strong option to strengthen Arsenal’s attacking depth.

In addition to Gordon, Arsenal are reportedly tracking several high-profile players, including Rafael Leão from AC Milan, Yan Diomande of RB Leipzig, and Nico Williams from Athletic Club. All three players are expected to attract strong interest across Europe.

Arsenal’s primary target is believed to be Julián Álvarez of Atlético Madrid, although interest from FC Barcelona could complicate a potential deal. Should that move fail, sporting director Andrea Berta is said to be considering Gordon as a leading alternative.

The North London club are also reportedly keeping tabs on two other Newcastle players — Sandro Tonali and Tino Livramento — signaling an ambitious and active summer transfer strategy./ALLDAYSPORT/
