"According to TEAMtalk, the Gunners have discussed the possibility of including Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli as part of a potential deal to sign Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid. The mere suggestion shows how ambitious Arsenal's recruitment strategy has become under Mikel Arteta. Alvarez has developed into one of the most complete forwards in Europe, combining relentless work rate with elite-level finishing and intelligent movement."
"The Gunners signed Viktor Gyokeres in a big money moe last summer but it appears like they are not fully convinced with his performances this season. Although Gyokeres scored for Arteta's team in their latest win, a comfortable 4-0 win against Leeds United, the constant reports of Arsenal looking for a striker perhaps shows that Gyokeres has not convinced them."
"Including an established player in negotiations could be seen as a calculated attempt to bridge the valuation gap and make their proposal more attractive to Atletico. Both Jesus and Martinelli have been linked with uncertain futures at the Emirates. Jesus has endured an injury-disrupted campaign, limiting his run of starts and rhythm. Martinelli, meanwhile, has experienced fluctuating form, alternating between decisive contributions and quieter spells. Atletico are believed to admire both players, viewing them as profiles capable of adapting to La Liga's tactical demands."
