Arsenal is currently racing in 3 arenas (Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup) and are all on the path towards the championship, after losing in the League Cup final to Man City.
In recent years, Arsenal's transfer strategy has gradually shown its effectiveness to each position on the field. The appearance of important names such as Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi, Riccardo Calafiori,... helps The Gunners no longer be a team ranked in a corner in the championship race. Especially in the summer of 2025, the addition of up to 8 players has helped the "Gunners" have the thickest force in the Premier League, thereby being able to compete in 4 arenas.
Although it is not yet known how many titles they have won in the remaining 3 arenas, strengthening the force is what Mikel Arteta must definitely do in the summer transfer window of 2026. Witnessing the opponents becoming stronger and stronger, a squad that is already very deep, but as long as it is not close to perfection, Arsenal cannot be confident that they can extend their current form.
The left-back position of the club is currently rotated by Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard as starters. However, it still needs to be upgraded as this line is not a cannon powerful enough to create peace of mind for every match. In recent days, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia of PSG has been a highly rumored target to arrive at Emirates this summer. The Georgian star is the mainstay of PSG, has proven world class, far superior to Martinelli and Trossard.
Since the beginning of the season, Kvaratskhelia has played 37 matches for PSG and has 19 G/A (12 goals, 7 assists). The noteworthy point of this attacking star is not necessarily in the number of G/A, it is how he shines in big matches. In the Champions League round of 16 matches, how Kvaratskhelia alone defeated Chelsea, Arteta probably witnessed.
Having a player shine like that in the Champions League arena is what Arsenal always needs. Last season, the 25-year-old striker was also PSG's main force in the journey to win the French team's treble. If they get "Ronaldo from Georgia", Arsenal can be assured with the left flank as they have both a big star and a not bad rotation plan.
Leandro Trossard is currently 31 years old, while Martinelli has never become the main actor in the left forward position of Arsenal. Therefore, a star who is at the peak of his career, world-class level has been proven like Kvaratskhelia is a target Arsenal is very eager for. The Gunners are a world-class team, they need to win major tournaments so that Emirates will be decorated more luxuriously, only then will they be attractive enough to welcome top stars.
Kvaratskhelia's price will not be less than 100 million Euros, but if Arsenal wins the Premier League or Champions League (or both) this season, they will have a wide path to recruit the 25-year-old star. The current squad in Mikel Arteta's hands will not have a major purge in the summer, but if some positions need to be refined, the left wing will be the first target.
