Arsenal won the Premier League last season and are now looking to strengthen their squad as they bid to defend their title in the new campaign.
Manager Mikel Arteta is widely understood to be seeking additional quality and depth in the attacking department ahead of the new season.
The departure of Leandro Trossard has made signing a left winger a clear priority for the Gunners as the transfer window continues.
Arsenal have already missed out on Morgan Rogers, leaving their search for attacking reinforcements without a major breakthrough so far.
According to Sun Sport, Arsenal are now interested in signing Bournemouth forward Rayan this summer as they look to bolster their options.
The 20-year-old Brazilian international joined Bournemouth in January from Vasco da Gama and has since recorded seven goals and two assists in the Premier League.
Bournemouth are reportedly willing to sell Rayan within just six months of signing him, but will demand a fee of £85 million from any interested club.
The asking price reflects the rapid rise in Rayan’s stock, driven by his impressive displays for Bournemouth since arriving in England earlier this year.
Rayan has drawn widespread attention for his burst of pace, dribbling ability, confidence against defenders, and powerful shooting at such a young age.
However, questions remain over whether Arsenal genuinely need another right winger given the depth Arteta already has available in that position.
Bukayo Saka committed his future to the club earlier this year, signing a deal that runs until June 2031, and remains one of Arsenal’s finest players.
Noni Madueke also provides cover on the right flank, offering a capable backup option even if he is not considered a natural first-choice starter.
With targets such as Julian Alvarez and Nico Williams linked to the left wing role, Arsenal’s primary transfer focus appears to lie elsewhere this window.
