Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is preparing to reshape his squad significantly during the summer transfer window ahead of a Premier League title defence.
The left wing has emerged as a particular area of concern for the Gunners as they look to strengthen ahead of the new campaign.
Doubts surrounding the futures of both Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard have pushed Arsenal into seeking a quality wide player urgently.
According to Fichajes, Arsenal remain firmly interested in signing Marcus Rashford from Manchester United and are ready to accelerate their efforts.
Rashford, 28, impressed during a loan spell at Barcelona in 2025/26, scoring 15 goals and providing 12 assists across all competitions.
Despite holding an option to sign him permanently, Barcelona are unwilling to meet his £26 million asking price, leaving the door open for rival clubs.
Rashford’s Transfermarkt valuation stands at £35 million, making his asking price appear relatively reasonable given his output and profile.
Manchester United are actively looking to offload Rashford to reduce their wage bill, meaning they could sell him even to a direct domestic rival.
His pace, dribbling, chance creation and finishing ability are exactly the attributes Arsenal want from a player operating on the left flank.
Joining Arsenal would place Rashford within a tactically structured and ambitious winning project, where he could expect far more consistent playing time than he received at Barcelona.
The combination of United’s willingness to sell and Arsenal’s growing urgency creates a genuine possibility that a deal could be completed this summer.
With 27 goal contributions in 2025/26 already demonstrating his revived form, Rashford represents a significant and timely opportunity for Arteta to address a key weakness.
