Arsenal have identified an “incredible” player as their number one target on the left and believe he will be the ideal complement to the team, a report said.
Gunner aims at attractions on new winger
Gabriel Martinelli showed some promising signs in the second half of the campaign, scoring in an 2-2 draw against Liverpool recently, but the Gunners seem to be increasingly keen on bringing competition to the Brazilian.
Recently, the North Londoner has begun working for AC Milan's Rafael Leao, although sporting director Andrea Berta personally viewed the Portuguese international figure as a transfer target, although the £85 million asking price may be a barrier.
Bayern Munich's Leroy Sane has not signed a new contract to expand his Bundesliga accommodation, and he has also appeared with the choices around Mikel Arteta, with German agents eager for his clients to move to the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners turned their eyes to a midfielder who was compared to former Chelsea star Eden Hazard.
But, according to a report from the Daily Mail, another winger is Arsenal’s top target for the summer transfer window, namely the athletic club’s Nico Williams, the Spaniard is seen as an ideal choice for a starter for Martinelli.
Leandro Trossard is currently exploring a move to the Saudi professional league, which could put the Gunners in need of bringing new wingers, and Williams is their primary goal for competition for the inconsistent Martinelli this season.
Chelsea are also interested in the left, but it could complicate the deal if Leo and Dortmund's Jamie Gittens are identified as potential alternative targets on Arteta's side, and if they miss the sports club's stars, they are identified as potential alternative targets.
“Incredible” Williams might be Arteta's “ideal”
In previous links with Spanish International, Arsenal-backed scout Ben Mattinson claimed that the striker might be “ideal” given his ability to play and drive within the opposition's defense.
The left wing also caught the attention of the European Cup victory in Spain in 2024, and BBC's broadcaster John Bennett picked him out.
The 22-year-old was impressed by his national side last summer and currently enjoyed an impressive campaign in La Liga, with five goals and five assists on his name, while also providing seven goals for the Europa League.
Apparently Arteta needs to bring competition to Martinelli this summer, and Williams' performance ratio this season proves a £48 million spending.
