Arsenal plotting £165m swoop for Premier League attacking duo?

Arsenal are reportedly weighing up a £165m deal to lure two Premier League attackers to the Emirates Stadium this summer.

Mikel Arteta has been strongly tipped to strengthen his forward line for some time, but those rumours briefly cooled following the Gunners exceptional start to 2024, particularly in the Premier League.

Indeed, Arsenal won each of their first eight top-flight games of this year, scoring 33 goals in the process, but they have since failed to find the net in three of their last six matches in all competitions, including their last two games against Aston Villa and Bayern Munich.

Arsenal's Premier League title hopes were dealt a major blow last weekend as they suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Aston Villa, before being knocked out in the Champions League quarter-finals by Bayern Munich courtesy of a 1-0 second-leg defeat on Wednesday, losing 3-2 on aggregate.

Shaw has featured in just 12 Premier League matches this season, whereas Malacia has yet to make an appearance this term and is unlikely to return to the squad before the end of the current campaign.

Malacia participated in a competitive fixture for the Netherlands in the UEFA Nations League on June 14 last year, but a month later, at the start of pre-season, he was forced to undergo surgery.
