Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta targets Julian Alvarez for a summer transfer. Arteta plans face-to-face talks with the Atletico Madrid striker to sway him to the Emirates Stadium. Despite Viktor Gyokeres' €73 million move from Sporting CP, Arsenal seeks more firepower. Gyokeres has netted only 10 goals in 28 Premier League games this season. Reports indicate Arsenal is ramping up efforts to secure Alvarez, seen as Arteta's primary target. Both have already spoken via phone, with a meeting scheduled in Madrid during the international break. The Finalissima between Spain and Argentina at the Santiago Bernabeu on March 27 serves as the backdrop for their potential encounter. Atletico Madrid demands €100 million for Alvarez, a price Arsenal can meet. Since joining Atletico in 2024 from Manchester City, Alvarez has scored 46 goals and provided 15 assists in 98 appearances.
