Arsenal is currently being contacted by a close aide of Manchester United star ahead of the possibility of a summer move, according to the report.
Gunners Step Up Winger Pursuit
With Mikel Arteta’s team poised to finish second in their third year on bounce, the board is set to spend a lot of time in the upcoming windows, and Mirror’s John Cross has revealed that there are two key areas that managers are trying to strengthen.
This season, Bukayosaka’s long bystander spells highlighted his importance to the gunners, but there may be some concerns about Gabriel Martinelli’s offensive output.
The 23-year-old scored just eight goals and four assists in the 2024-25 campaign, giving the North Londoners the opportunity to raid one of their Premier League rivals for a potential replacement.
In fact, according to a Bootroom report, Manchester United’s Alejandro Garnacho agents have been in touch with them about potential moves to Emirates Stadium this summer, with the left wing being sold.
Garnacho is unhappy about not being included in the starting XI for the Europa League final and accepting that he will have to leave Old Trafford this summer, so Argentina is eager to switch to Atletico Madrid, but Napoli is also featured in the photo.
It is still unclear whether the 20-year-old is being seduced by a move to Arsenal, but every deal is expected to cost around £51 million.

“Generation” Garnacho needs summer movement
Like many of the other top players, Argentine international careers have stagnated at Old Trafford, earning just six goals and two assists in the Premier League this season, but there are plenty of signs that the youth could succeed elsewhere.
Celebrated as a “generation” by Statman Dave, the starlet holds a record of most goal involvement by teenagers in United’s history, but praises its ability to create opportunities.
That said, Arsenal has identified many other winger targets, and taking a punt with Garnacho rather than a more proven player at the top level is a risk.
