Mikel Arteta and his associates want to see Ajax striker and Newcastle forward in the Gunners' shirt even before the pre-season
Despite missing out the Premier League title in the final day of the season, Arsenal board and Mikel Arteta's coaching staff are eager to keep the spirits high and focus on the next season.
Moreover, they've already started their work in terms of creating the team that would be capable of going that one step further - winning the EPL crown after more than 20 years.
According to various reports, the Gunners are seeking to sign a prime striker before their pre-season tour, with Ajax's Brian Brobbey and Newcastle United's Alexander Isak being top of the list.

The latter has been the preferred option, as previously reported by The Independent, but there is an awareness that Newcastle would likely refuse to sell.
Arteta wants to finish all business early so the squad is immediately ready to work on the next campaign.
If Arsenal can't get Isak, or maybe even if that deal proceeds successfully, Brobbey would be the next most likely option. The 22-year-old Dutch striker had a fantastic season for Ajax, scoring 22 goals and attracting the attention of a series of major clubs.

As Arteta said after the loss of the tile, which speaks volumes and tells you a lot about the ambitions for the next season:
"There's only one way to do it - you have to be more determined, you have to be more ambitious, you have to have a lot of courage and push every limit in everything that we have. That's the next step," concluded determined Arsenal boss.
