Arsenal’s Dream Transfer Target Hinges on Sporting Director Replacement
Arsenal’s pursuit of a “dream” signing for Mikel Arteta may depend heavily on the club’s choice for their next sporting director. As the search for Edu Gaspar’s replacement continues behind the scenes, one potential transfer target is emerging as a key focus for the Gunners.

Mikel Arteta’s side recently ended their winless Premier League run with a commanding 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium. Goals from Bukayo Saka, Thomas Partey, and 16-year-old Ethan Nwaneri secured Arsenal’s first league win since early October.
Arteta expressed his joy after the much-needed victory:
“Really happy, I sensed great energy the last 48 hours… There was an enthusiasm about it. This is what I demand when we score a goal; it should have been another two or three in the first half.”
Arteta praised the collective effort, highlighting the contributions of players like Partey, Raheem, and Nwaneri, while emphasizing the importance of squad rotation:
“Some players, the way they trained while we were here, was unbelievable, and I have to praise that.”
The win reignited Arsenal’s title hopes and provided a morale boost as they prepared for their Champions League clash with Sporting Lisbon.
Arsenal’s Transfer Plans: A Striker in Focus
In addition to their on-pitch ambitions, Arsenal is working behind the scenes to strengthen their squad, with a focus on signing a high-profile striker. Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak has reportedly emerged as a top target.
Isak’s Recent Form
The Swedish forward had a sluggish start to the season but has recently found his stride, scoring three goals in his last four games for Newcastle. Known for his technical ability and versatility, Isak netted an impressive 25 goals across all competitions last season, including 21 in the Premier League.
The Edu Factor
Arsenal’s ability to secure Isak will likely depend on who takes over as the new sporting director. Edu Gaspar’s successor will play a pivotal role in facilitating such a high-profile deal. Reports suggest that Isak, labeled a “dream” target by some, could command a fee of up to £150 million, making the negotiations crucial for Arsenal’s transfer strategy.
The Bigger Picture
As Arsenal balances their current campaign with long-term planning, the decisions made in the boardroom could shape the club’s future success. With Isak’s name in the mix and a critical vacancy in the sporting director role, the coming months will be crucial for Arsenal both on and off the pitch.
The Gunners’ search for their next big signing—and the right leadership to oversee it—signals their determination to build a squad capable of sustaining title challenges for years to come.
