Arsenal have reportedly turned their attention to Liverpool attacker Diogo Jota as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of next season.

According to reports from Anfield Watch ,the North London club is keen on signing the Portuguese international, who has established himself as one of the Premier League’s top attacking talents.

The Gunners are expected to prioritize attacking reinforcements this summer after failing to make any significant signings in January.

Despite being linked with several high-profile players during the winter window, no new forwards were brought in.

Jota, 28, has caught Arsenal’s attention due to his impressive ability to score goals in tight spaces and his knack for producing decisive moments in front of goal.

While the Liverpool forward would be an ideal addition to Mikel Arteta’s side, his injury record is likely to be a concern. Arsenal’s management will need to carefully weigh the potential risks and rewards of pursuing a player with a history of fitness issues.

Diogo Jota to Arsenal

Reports suggest that Arsenal’s interest in Jota is strong, but Liverpool are hesitant to sell one of their key players to a direct rival. The Portuguese forward, who is valued at £42 million (transfermarkt) has been a important part of Liverpool’s squad since his arrival in the summer of 2020. However, it is believed that Liverpool might consider a sale if the right offer comes in.

Jota has made 20 appearances for the Reds this season, contributing eight goals and two assists. His clinical finishing and versatility in the final third make him a valuable asset for any team.

Arsenal’s Other Targets

In addition to Jota, Arsenal remain linked to other attacking options, including Newcastle’s Alexander Isak and RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko. Both players have been heavily scouted, with Arsenal looking to add depth and quality to their attacking lineup.

The Gunners currently sit second in the Premier League, trailing leaders Liverpool by six points. With Slot’s side holding a game in hand, Arsenal face an uphill battle to reclaim top spot. Arteta’s men will be aiming to close the gap as they prepare to face Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

A strong finish to the season will be crucial for Arsenal, not only in their title race but also in solidifying their status as an attractive destination for top players like Jota in the upcoming transfer window.
