Arsenal\u2019s attacking rebuild appears to be entering a decisive stage, but the next move depends on resolving a key departure first.
<\/strong>
The Gunners want to refresh their options on the left wing as they prepare to defend the Premier League title and compete again for the Champions League.<\/p>\n

Rather than waiting until late in the window, Arsenal seem to have already identified a younger replacement who is eager to move to the Emirates.<\/p>\n

However, the club are also keeping a more expensive Premier League target separate from those plans, suggesting Mikel Arteta could ultimately add two different attacking profiles.<\/p>\n

Trossard decision holds up winger deal for Arsenal<\/h2>\n

According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal are waiting for Leandro Trossard to give his final approval to a move to Besiktas before completing the signing of Christos Tzolis.<\/p>\n

The Club Brugge winger reportedly wants to join Arsenal and has placed another proposal on hold while waiting for the Gunners.<\/p>\n

The situation is approaching its final stages, although Trossard\u2019s personal decision remains crucial.<\/p>\n

FootballTransfers reports that Arsenal remain in regular contact with Tzolis\u2019 representatives and are prepared to move once the Besiktas transfer is completed.<\/p>\n

Tzolis would provide a younger and more direct option on the left. His improved productivity in Belgium has revived his reputation following a difficult spell with Norwich City, and his willingness to wait for Arsenal suggests personal terms should not become a major obstacle.<\/p>\n

Rogers pursuit remains separate to this deal<\/h2>\n

Morgan Rogers is still Arsenal\u2019s leading attacking target and is being considered separately from the Tzolis deal.<\/p>\n

That means the Greek international would likely replace Trossard, while Rogers could be brought in as a versatile starter capable of playing centrally or from the left.<\/p>\n

The main problem is Aston Villa\u2019s valuation. Sky Sports reports that Villa value the England international at \u00a3130m and do not want to sell him this summer.<\/p>\n

Signing Tzolis after selling Trossard would represent sensible squad management. Arsenal would lower the age of their attack while bringing in a winger with strong recent numbers and clear motivation to join.<\/p>\n

Rogers would be the more transformative addition, but \u00a3130m is excessive.<\/p>\n

Arsenal should continue negotiations without allowing Villa\u2019s demands to control their summer.<\/p>\n
