Mikel Arteta Targets Elite Striker After Signing New £30m Contract

Arteta Signs £30m Deal

Arsenal Manager, Mikel Arteta, has signed a new three-year contract worth £30m. The Spanish coach has been rewarded for his impressive work at the Emirates Stadium, which has seen the Gunners qualify for the Champions League for the first time in five years.

Arteta's Transfer Plans

With his new contract secured, Arteta is now turning his attention to the transfer market. The Gunners are expected to be busy in the summer as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of their return to the Champions League.

According to reports, Arteta has identified an elite striker as his top target. The Gunners have been linked with a number of big names, including Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus and Everton's Richarlison.

Arsenal's Need for a Striker

Arsenal have lacked a consistent goalscorer since the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in January. The Gunners have scored just 61 goals in the Premier League this season, which is the lowest tally of any team in the top half of the table.

The signing of an elite striker would give Arsenal the firepower they need to challenge for trophies next season. Arteta will be hoping to add a goalscorer who can score 20 goals or more in a season.

Arteta's Vision for Arsenal

Arteta has a clear vision for Arsenal and he is building a team that can challenge for the Premier League title. The Gunners have shown great progress under the Spaniard and they will be hoping to continue that progress next season.

The signing of an elite striker would be a major statement of intent from Arsenal. It would show that the Gunners are serious about challenging for trophies and that they are willing to invest in their squad.
