Rafael Leao and Eberechi Eze are two of Arsenal’s biggest transfer targets for the remainder of the transfer window.

Arsenal want to sign one more attacker after finally agreeing a deal to bring Viktor Gyokeres to North London for £64m.

Andrea Berta is the man tasked with finding the right player for Mikel Arteta’s attack and to match Liverpool’s strides in the transfer window.

The Premier League champions are expected to move for Alexander Isak this week and Arsenal’s supporters have told their sporting director how to react.

Arsenal fans want Rafael Leao and Eberechi Eze signed

Arsenal fans are insisting that both Rafael Leao and Eberechi Eze should be signed, as opposed to one or the other.

The Gunners’ supporters want the club to match Liverpool’s ambition by targeting both attackers in the transfer window.

Currently, Arsenal are heading into the 2025/26 season with Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard as their two left-wing options.

Meanwhile, Martin Odegaard will be competing with Ethan Nwaneri for the number ten role. Nwaneri struggled against Newcastle, leaving question marks as to whether he’s ready for a regular role in the team.

Therefore, Leao and Eze would fill two missing pieces in Arteta’s team, and Arsenal fans have taken to X to share their thoughts.

One fan said: “Enough of the England excitement and Dowman introduction to the world, where’s my Eze and Rodrygo/Leao man?”

“We need to get Leao before Eze. But get both of them, too. Just Leao has to come first,” added another.

There were further calls for both players to be signed by Arsenal: “Eze and Leao would make our transfer window 10/10.”

Finally, another claimed: “Very good feeling about this season, especially if we bring in Eze at a minimum, add Leao, and we win the league.

“Top squad already, depth all over the pitch is top, academy boys coming through are generational, future beyond the next 10 years for this club is looking incredible.”

TBR Football exclusively revealed that Eze has told his friends he’s joining Arsenal this summer, although the Gunners are yet to make a final decision on the winger.

Arsenal have been in talks with the 27-year-old’s camp for most of the summer, though, suggesting that they do hold a strong interest in him.

Back in April, TBR Football reported Arsenal’s interest in Leao and how the winger was quickly becoming a key feature on their list of targets.

Leao impressed in front of Arteta during the recent meeting in Singapore between the Gunners and AC Milan.

Rafael Leao and Eberechi Eze both enjoy impressive league campaigns

Leao and Eze enjoyed impressive league campaigns last term as they both managed 16 goal contributions.

In Serie A, the Portuguese international netted eight goals and also got eight assists last term, meanwhile, the Crystal Palace forward replicated that in the Premier League.

If Liverpool were to move for Isak, the Gunners would need to respond by signing at least one of these two players, if not both.

Given how weak Arsenal are at the left wing and their lack of creativity when Odegaard is missing, signing both would considerably improve their squad.
