According to reports, Arsenal will not chase Ajax star Mohammed Kudus until they have sold six of their players. The Gunners are hoping to sign another attacking player this summer, although Mikel Arteta appears to be prioritizing outgoings for the time being.

Last season, the North London club made significant improvement, finishing second in the Premier League and coming within a whisker of a historic title triumph. Though Arteta is not satisfied with simply being last season’s surprise gift and has requested additional investment to narrow the quality gap between his team and Manchester City.
As a result, Kai Havertz has joined Arsenal from Chelsea, and Jurrien Timber has also made his long-awaited move to the Premier League. Declan Rice, a top target, was also signed from West Ham for a club-record £105 million sum to give talent in midfield.
According to the Daily Mail, Arteta is now looking for a means to reinforce his forward ranks and has named Ajax’s Kudus as a target – despite Arsenal’s focus is on ‘trimming’ their roster.
Edu, Arsenal’s sporting director, is trying to unload at least six players to reduce the size of Arteta’s roster, with some stars receiving attention who have already been judged surplus to needs. Winger Nicolas Pepe, who was previously signed for £72 million, is one of those firmly in the shop window, with various teams from throughout Europe associated with the Ivorian.
Nuno Tavares, Cedric Soares, and Albert Sambi Lokonga, who were loaned out last season, have also been placed available for sale, despite Cedric’s apparent wish to stay at the Emirates and prove his worth on the European scene.
