Arsenal had appeared ready to centre their summer plans around Morgan Rogers before that move drifted away. The England international was viewed as the kind of addition who could help extend the momentum of a Premier League title win that ended a 22-year wait, with his ability to operate close to a centre forward or from the left making him an appealing fit.<\/p>\n
Even with Christos Tzolis expected to arrive as a Leandro Trossard replacement, the sense remains that Mikel Arteta still wants another major attacking addition. If Rogers is no longer the answer, Arsenal can still look at a handful of wide options with different profiles.<\/p>\n
Yan Diomande stands out as the most explosive of the group. Liverpool were interested earlier in the summer before learning he preferred Paris Saint-Germain, while RB Leipzig are now said to want $125.1 million (\u00a393.5 million). He offers pace, dribbling and the ability to play on either flank, which could bring both variety on the left and cover for Bukayo Saka.<\/p>\n
Bradley Barcola brings a more established level of assurance. PSG value him at $171.2 million (\u20ac150 million), and although they are not eager to sell, that could change if a deal for Maghnes Akliouche is completed after three rejected bids. Barcola\u2019s game is not flawless, but his level and unpredictability make him one of the strongest options mentioned.<\/p>\n
Mika Godts would be a lower-cost gamble on potential. The 21-year-old delivered 29 goal contributions in 32 Eredivisie matches last season, although his World Cup omission and uneven Champions League displays leave questions over whether he is ready for a leading role at this level.<\/p>\n
Kerim Alajbegovi\u0107 fits the same developmental bracket. The teenager impressed with RB Salzburg in 2025-26 and is now back at Bayer Leverkusen, who are open to selling him before a senior appearance. Atalanta and Chelsea are also interested.<\/p>\n
Marcus Rashford, meanwhile, remains another name in the discussion after Barcelona declined to buy him permanently, leaving his situation unresolved once again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
