Arsenal is looking to gain an advantage in the upcoming Premier League title race, especially against rivals Manchester City and Liverpool. With the Gunners having won the English top-flight for the first time in 22 years last season, they are keen to build on that success. The club's manager, Mikel Arteta, is aware that his team will be the target for every opponent next term, which is why he has urged sporting director Andrea Berta to act quickly and decisively in the transfer market. A potential opportunity has arisen with Manchester United's Marcus Rashford, who could be available for a cut-price fee due to a £40 million release clause that has come to light. This clause was not activated by Barcelona, who had Rashford on loan last season. The England international played a significant role in his loan spell, scoring 14 goals and providing 14 assists. However, it remains uncertain where he will play next season, with Arsenal reportedly interested in adding him to their squad. Rashford's arrival could provide Arsenal with a crucial edge in their title defense, especially as they look to strengthen their forward line with key players like Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard entering the final year of their contracts. Former striker Michael Owen has also suggested that signing Rashford could be a smart move for Arsenal, emphasizing the need for a strong forward as they prepare for the new season.
