Arsenal are willing to spend their summer transfer budget on an exciting triple swoop for Ruben Neves, Alexander Isak and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

That’s according to a report from The Sun, who claim that Arsenal are already looking towards the summer transfer window.

That’s not a huge surprise given that the January window ended up being al little underwhelming for the Gunners.

Whilst Arsenal shipped out a whole host of players, they weren’t able to bring in the striker or midfielder Mikel Arteta wanted.

It now seems that Arsenal are already eyeing up big summer moves, with this triple swoop potentially costing around £180million.

Striker Isak is unsurprisingly one of the top targets, with his Real Sociedad release clause standing at around £75million.

In January, Fabrizio Romano claimed that Arsenal rate Isak just as highly as Dusan Vlahovic, who turned down the Gunners for Juventus.

Football London even suggested that Edu was working hard on bringing Isak to Arsenal, but it just didn’t happen in January.

An ‘exceptional’ striker according to Gary Lineker, Isak is poised for a huge future despite scoring just four league goals so far this season.

With Eddie Nketiah and Alexander Lacazette out of contract this summer, Arsenal need more than just one striker signing.

That’s why Arsenal want Calvert-Lewin too, believing that he and Isak are the strikers to share the workload and take the club forward.

Calvert-Lewin is keen to join Arsenal according to The Athletic, with Everton seeking a fee of around £60million.

This season has been tough for Calvert-Lewin due to injuries, but he fired 36 goals in his last two seasons for Everton.

To solve the midfield issue, Arsenal want to spend £45million on Neves, bringing the total up to £180million.

Arsenal seem to want a playmaker to play alongside Thomas Partey, and Neves could be the man given his passing ability.

A threat to score from long range at any time, Neves has been outstanding under Bruno Lage this season and Wolves won’t sell easily.

Spending an entire summer budget on three players is a gamble, but Arsenal seemingly think these three players are the right ones.
