Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is focused on strengthening his squad this summer, particularly in three key areas: wide-forward, central midfielder, and left-back. While Bukayo Saka has firmly established himself on the right side, the left side is open for competition. Gabriel Martinelli is looking to reclaim his starting role after a disappointing season, possibly by his performance at Copa America. Leandro Trossard’s struggles at Euro 2024 weaken his claim on the starting spot, and the potential departure of Reiss Nelson further emphasizes the need for a new left-winger.
In their search for a solution, Arsenal has identified 19-year-old French talent Desire Doue as a potential signing. Doue impressed with Stade Rennais last season and seems ready for a bigger challenge. However, there is competition from Bayern Munich, who have also shown serious interest in Doue.
According to Florian Plettenberg, who shared his update on X, Bayern are now seriously interested in Doue.

Arsenal must act swiftly to secure his signature.
Arsenal has a track record of successfully integrating young players, as seen with William Saliba. Arteta’s project is ready to take the next step and provide opportunities for exciting talents like Doue. Generally, Arsenal has a clear strategy to strengthen their squad, and the left side of attack presents an opportunity for a new signing to make a significant impact.
