Arsenal transfer wahala: Berta eye sign Williams, Gyokeres dey struggle, Zubimendi form dip

Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta dey face serious scrutiny as some of im summer signings no dey perform to expectation. The Italian man, wey replace Edu Gaspar for Emirates Stadium, sign eight players last transfer window, but now questions dey fly upandan.

For striker department, Viktor Gyokeres matter dey cause plenty talk. The Swede na Arsenal top scorer with 18 goals this season, but im selection for big matches don reduce. Last Sunday, Kai Havertz start ahead of am for centre-forward against Manchester City, and dis one na big statement from manager Mikel Arteta.

Gyokeres finishing inside box na im main strength, but critics dey talk say dat na im only footballing quality. For five appearances against Liverpool and Manchester City this season, im no even get single shot. Havertz, for just one game against City, get two big chances and score equaliser.

Wetin dey pain fans more na say Berta na di main driver behind Gyokeres signing, but Arteta sef prefer Benjamin Sesko wey now dey for Manchester United. Sesko get nine Premier League goals this season, just three less than Gyokeres, even though im play half di minutes.

For midfield, Martin Zubimendi matter dey another headache. Di Spanish midfielder join Arsenal last summer after plenty big clubs like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Liverpool want am. But reports show say if Berta bin dey involved from beginning, im for never sign Zubimendi.

Zubimendi start di season well-well, but since January, im form don dip seriously. Some fans don begin question why Arsenal sign am. Berta, wey don watch La Liga plenty as former Atletico Madrid sporting director, bin get other defensive midfielders wey im prefer.

Now for summer plans, Arsenal dey monitor Athletic Club winger Nico Williams. Berta na huge admirer of di 23-year-old Spanish international, and Arsenal dey consider am as potential replacement for Gabriel Martinelli wey fit leave.

Williams just return from groin injury wey sideline am for months, but im still contribute four goals and two assists this season. Im contract with Athletic Bilbao get release clause of €90 million, and Barcelona sef dey interested but dia priority na different areas.

As Arsenal dey plan for next season, Berta transfer decisions go face more scrutiny. Di Italian man handpick seven out of eight signings last summer, and now half of dem dey under microscope. For forward line especially, big upgrades dey needed whether Arsenal win league or not.

Di reality be say Gyokeres no contribute enough beyond goals, and im all-around game no suit Arteta style. Zubimendi dip in form surprise everybody after im fantastic first half of season. And for Williams, Arsenal hierarchy dey keen but di price tag na serious matter.

What remain clear be say Berta first summer as Arsenal sporting director don produce mixed results. Some signings dey work, others dey struggle, and di pressure dey mount as club dey plan for another busy transfer window.
