Arsenal have opened summer scouting on two new wingers, Christos Tzolis and Bradley Barcola, after clinching the Premier League title last month. The Gunners aim to cement their attacking depth while keeping options open for Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, whose contracts end next season for the club's long‑term plans.

Initial contact has already been made with Club Brugge for Tzolis, a 24‑year‑old who declined a move to Crystal Palace last summer to stay in Belgium. Meanwhile, PSG has floated a fresh deal for 23‑year‑old Barcola, who has two years left on his current contract but could be released if a new agreement falls through.

Liverpool are also said to be watching the situation, adding pressure on Arsenal to secure signings before other clubs intervene. The Gunners have an option to extend Martinelli's deal to 2028, while Trossard’s contract was only upgraded in salary last summer, not length for players.

With the title win, Arsenal can afford to refresh their forward line without risking a decline in performance. Securing Tzolis or Barcola would give the squad the depth needed to compete on multiple fronts while keeping the squad’s chemistry intact and maintaining the club's reputation among fans and investors while preparing for the next season's European competition and domestic campaigns.
