Arsenal may be on the verge of completing the transfer of the century, as club captain Martin Ødegaard and star winger Bukayo Saka have reportedly made a direct and urgent plea to the club’s board: “Sign him immediately – no matter the price.”

The target? A legendary striker whose name is being kept under tight wraps — but who is already causing a seismic buzz across European football circles. According to insiders at London Colney, both Ødegaard and Saka are convinced that the striker in question is the missing link Arsenal need to dominate both in England and in Europe.

In a powerful internal message, the two Arsenal stars reportedly told the board that this forward is “the best man to lead Arsenal’s attack – even better than Kai Havertz.” The claim has turned heads, especially considering the German international’s impressive form during the latter part of last season.
This latest development signals that Arteta’s squad is fully aligned behind the idea of bringing in a world-class frontman — someone with the experience, mentality, and killer instinct to take Arsenal’s ambitions to the next level. Sources close to the club have hinted that the player in question is a proven Champions League performer with a track record of delivering in high-pressure moments.
Ødegaard, who has grown into a natural leader since his arrival from Real Madrid, reportedly sees this signing as essential to Arsenal’s pursuit of European glory, while Saka believes the striker can “surpass all of Europe’s current top stars.”
Arsenal’s board is now said to be reassessing their transfer strategy, with serious consideration being given to launching a record-breaking bid. While financial constraints and FFP regulations remain a challenge, the urgency and conviction shown by the team’s core leaders have added significant weight to the push.
Fans have already erupted on social media, speculating wildly about the striker’s identity — with names like Victor Osimhen, Karim Benzema, and even a shock return for Alexis Sánchez circulating.
With preseason just around the corner and the Gunners set to face AC Milan and other European giants, the pressure is mounting. Could Arsenal be about to make the most iconic signing in club history?
The world will be watching.
