Arsenal They are reportedly considering making a double attempt at signing. Barcelona duo Raphinha and Ferran Torres in the next transfer window, according to the Spanish media Transfers.
It has been widely suggested that the Gunners want to sign a new winger to support Bukayo Saka. However, they have not yet chosen to make a concrete approach to buying anyone.
But this time things could be different since according to the report Transfers Arsenal plan to strengthen their first line by signing Barcelona duo Raphinha and Torres this summer.

Raphinha is valued at around £43 million by Transfer marketwhile Torres is valued at around 30 million pounds.

Raphinha and Torres to Arsenal
Arsenal started the new campaign brightly, but their forward players found it difficult to show productivity during the first half of this season. However, after returning from the winter break, Arteta's side have been brilliant of late and are currently firmly in the title race.
However, although Arteta has a strong first eleven, the Emirates club lack qualities on the flanks behind first options Gabriel Martinelli and Saka. So signing new top-class wingers to create competition for the Gunners duo would be the right decision and Raphinha and Torres would be great signings if bought.
But it has been suggested that Arsenal are prioritizing strengthening their number nine position and engine room this summer. Therefore, the north London club may not have enough financial resources to sign the Barcelona duo if they sign a top striker and midfielder.
However, it will be interesting to see if the Emirates club ultimately opts to make a concrete approach to acquire the services of Raphinha and Torres if they leave the Catalan giants at the end of this campaign.
