After 13\/14 months at the club \u2013 a bit more than one year now \u2013 they see Kvaratskhelia as an absolutely untouchable player. So Paris Saint-Germain don\u2019t want to entertain any negotiation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cArsenal want to sign an offensive player in the summer transfer window \u2013 could be one, could be two, we will see \u2013 also based on outgoings, also based on opportunities. So, Arsenal will do something up front for sure. But what I can tell you is that for Kvaratskhelia, despite appreciating him and probably in terms of skills \u2013 if you see the Arsenal squad right now \u2013 today would be the ideal player\u2026 Probably kind of missing piece in the squad. But the answer I\u2019m getting from Paris Saint-Germain is very clear. They absolutely don\u2019t consider an exit for Kvaratskhelia in the summer transfer window.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Arsenal could replace Trossard and\/or Martinelli<\/h2>\n<p>Embed from Getty Images<br \/>The left wing is an area that is likely to be reinforced at the end of the season, and as Romano mentions, Kvaratskhelia would be an upgrade on the club\u2019s current options.<\/p>\n<p>There is a chance that neither Leandro Trossard nor Gabriel Martinelli will still be with the Gunners at the beginning of the 2026\/27 campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Trossard is closing in on the final year of his contract, while Martinelli has been mentioned as <strong>one of 8 players<\/strong> who could be sold to balance the books.<\/p>\n<h2>Who could be targeted instead of Kvaratskehlia?<\/h2>\n<p>Newcastle\u2019s Anthony Gordon is a long-term target for manager Mikel Arteta and Arsenal have been <strong>reported<\/strong> as potential suitors for the England international once more over the past few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Another possible target is RB Leipzig\u2019s Yan Diomande. The Ivorian has been scouted by several Premier League clubs after a breakthrough campaign in the Bundesliga.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more about the Arsenal First Team Squad for 2025\/26 here<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/article><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paris Saint-Germain have made it \u201cvery clear\u201d that they won\u2019t be selling reported Arsenal target<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":246,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-245","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arsenal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=245"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=245"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=245"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
