RESOLVING THE LEDGER

Arsenal is one of the clubs watching Shakhtar Donetsk striker

Arsenal have been linked with a move for Shakhtar Donetsk striker Kaua Elias, with the Gunners having monitored the Brazilian forward over the last few seasons .

Mikel Arteta’s side have enjoyed excellent form over recent campaigns and are expected to continue improving the quality of their squad as they look to remain among the leading teams in the Premier League.

Arsenal consider attacking options

Viktor Gyokeres is currently their main striker after joining the club about a year ago , while Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus have provided support as alternative options. Gyokeres is regarded as one of the top players in his position, but he struggled at times last season, meaning Arsenal cannot depend on him alone as they aim to compete across several competitions.

The Gunners are also preparing to sell Jesus during this transfer window. The Brazilian has only one year remaining on his contract and made very few appearances during the second half of last season after suffering a long-term injury that kept him out for almost a year.

Elias emerges as a potential replacement

Jesus’ contract is not expected to be renewed, making this summer a suitable opportunity for Arsenal to sell him and receive a transfer fee before he eventually leaves the club. The Brazilian could potentially be replaced by another player from his country.

According to The Sun , Arsenal are among the clubs interested in Elias, who has impressed with his performances over recent months. The report suggests that the Gunners have been monitoring the striker as they assess options to strengthen their attack.

Elias joined Shakhtar Donetsk last summer and has developed into one of the standout players in the Ukrainian league. He has also attracted attention with his performances in European competitions, where he has shown his ability against stronger opposition.

Arsenal will continue evaluating their attacking options as they prepare for the new season. If they decide Elias is the right profile for their squad, they could explore the possibility of bringing the young forward to the Emirates as part of their long-term plans.
