The London club "Arsenal" has become one of the main teams actively participating in the transfer market for the first time in many years. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
There has been much talk in the media about head coach Mikel Arteta's indecision regarding transfer matters. He has been interested in Marten Subimendi from "Real Sociedad" for a long time, and "Arsenal" scouts even monitored the player until the victory in Euro 2024.
However, an important aspect of this situation is that Arteta has always praised Thomas Partey. Thomas is at the center of serious allegations related to three assault cases, which is likely to negatively affect Arteta's reputation.
Nevertheless, it is important to emphasize that Arteta evaluates Thomas only as a player. Perhaps Arteta's indecision in decision-making has been somewhat exaggerated.
In fact, he could have bought Subimendi earlier and was obliged to acquire a striker in the winter. However, judging by the results, the team's growth is noticeable.
The London club could secure second place, a result that was typical for the "Gunners" in the late 2000s. Last season, the team reached the Champions League semifinals, which was last seen in the 2008/2009 season.
Perhaps at this moment, Mikel realized that he needed new players to achieve even better results. The transfer of Subimendi and possibly Viktor Dyokeresh could provide the "Gunners" with the additional strength they need.
There is no need to say much about Marten Subimendi. He is a silver medalist of the 2020 Olympics, a winner of the Copa del Rey with "Real Sociedad," and a European champion in 2024, as well as a winner of the 2023 Nations League.
He primarily plays as a defensive midfielder. The key aspects of his playing style are intelligent passing and a high work rate.
For "Arsenal" fans, a real prize could be the addition of Viktor Dyokeresh to the team. This matter is almost settled, and soon the Swedish player will start playing for the "Gunners."
He is coming not as a "false nine," but as a real striker. Viktor had a conflict with the management of "Sporting."
He considers himself deceived because the terms of the previous agreement were changed, which hindered his choice of a new club. This is why his transfer to "Manchester United" did not materialize.
The Swedish player knows his former coach Ruben Amorim well and preferred to trust "Arsenal" due to the financial constraints of "Manchester United" and the problems in the team's play. This turned out to be a decision in favor of the "Gunners."
According to Viktor Dyokeresh's statistics, his joining "Arsenal" will be a significant achievement. In the Portuguese league, he scored 39 goals and provided 8 assists in 33 matches.
In Champions League matches, he has also scored 6 times in 8 games. He is capable of scoring at crucial moments.
In the final of the Portuguese Cup, Dyokeresh scored a goal and played a crucial role in "Sporting's" 3:1 victory over "Benfica." He also showed good results against opponents in league matches.
He even recorded a hat-trick against "Manchester City." Viktor Dyokeresh's arrival at "Arsenal" could be a key factor in enhancing the team's success in the fight for the Premier League championship.
These changes will give the "Gunners" new strength and lead to great achievements in the future.
