According to The Independent, Arsenal have put Brobbey second on their list of their preferred striker targets this summer, behind only Newcastle United frontman Alexander Isak. And with the Magpies set to put up a fight if Mikel Arteta comes calling, Brobbey could find himself at the Emirates Stadium before the start of next season.

He may not have long to wait before discovering his fate, as the Gunners reportedly want to conduct the vast majority of their transfer business before their 2024/25 pre-season tour.

In an interview with Men's Health magazine last month, Brobbey also admitted that he could see himself at two other European powerhouses when asked which teams he would like to play for. "Real Madrid is a great club," he said. "But so are Arsenal and Manchester United."

Brobbey and Erik ten Hag previously worked together at Ajax, and links to United have been rife over the past 12 months. The Red Devils' striker spot is currently filled by Rasmus Hojlund, who finished his debut season with 10 Premier League goals.

As part of the same question and answer session, he said: "After the European Championships, I will be worth EUR80million [PS68m]." Although the price tag is eye-opening, Newcastle man Isak would likely command an even higher fee. The same goes for Sporting goal machine Viktor Gyokeres, whose contract in Portugal includes an PS86m release clause.

Kai Havertz was Arsenal's leading striker for the final few months of the season, with Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah failing to stamp their authority on Arteta's starting XI.
