Arsenal need smart signings to finally win the Premier League; three key players could transform their squad and title chances.

Arsenal have flirted with greatness under Mikel Arteta but always fallen just short.

Despite building an exciting young team and implementing a fluid, modern system, they still lack the final pieces to topple the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool in the Premier League title race. To finally bring the trophy back to the Emirates, Arsenal must be surgical in the transfer market.

Pulse Sports takes a look at three transformative signings that could push Arteta's side over the finish line.

3. Martn Zubimendi

Arsenal have lacked consistency in the holding midfield position. Injuries to Thomas Partey and the aging legs of Jorginho have exposed their vulnerability when out of possession.

Real Sociedad's Zubimendi combines tactical intelligence, positional awareness, and elite ball distribution.

His ability to break opposition lines with passes and offer composure under pressure would bring much-needed balance to Arsenal’s midfield.

More importantly, his defensive discipline allows more freedom for advanced players like Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard to flourish.

2. Benjamin Sesko

Despite solid output from Kai Havertz and Eddie Nketiah, Arsenal still lack a traditional number nine capable of finishing chances at a world-class level. Benjamin Sesko could be the answer.

Towering, quick, and intelligent with his movement, Sesko offers a rare blend of physicality and finesse.

The talisman's aerial threat and ability to stretch defenses vertically would add a new dimension to Arsenal's attack.

He also fits the club’s long-term vision, offering the potential to grow into one of Europe’s most lethal strikers.

1. Viktor Gyokeres

If Arsenal want an immediate impact striker who can handle the rigors of the Premier League, Viktor Gyokeres is the man. The Swedish forward has lit up the Portuguese league, racking up over 40 goals in all competitions last season.

Gyokeres is a pressing machine with explosive pace, power, and the ability to create and finish his own chances. The Sporting CP striker thrives in physical duels and excels in transition play, making him an ideal fit for Arteta’s high-intensity system.

To bridge the final gap and finally end their decades-long title drought, Arsenal must move decisively in the transfer market.

Adding Zubimendi, Sesko, and Gyokeres would not only fill tactical voids but also elevate the squad’s mentality and match-winning capabilities.
