As the summer transfer window approaches, Arsenal is reportedly eyeing a surprise move for Diogo Jota, the prolific Liverpool forward. According to FootballTransfers, Liverpool manager Arne Slot is open to selling Jota due to his injury record and plans for a major attacking overhaul at Anfield. Jota has only started seven Premier League matches this season, and despite averaging a goal every 149 minutes throughout his Liverpool career, his availability could be influenced by Slot's desire for fresh talent.

Arsenal's interest in Jota comes as they prepare for significant summer signings. The Gunners failed to secure a striker in January but are now poised to make big moves under Mikel Arteta. While Benjamin Sesko remains their top target, Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres are also on their radar, via Standard. However, acquiring Jota would provide an experienced attacking option with proven Premier League credentials.

Liverpool might be willing to negotiate a sale "for the right fee," which could be around €59.1 million based on Jota's Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) per FootballTransfers. This potential deal highlights the competitive nature of the transfer market as clubs like Arsenal seek quality additions, while others like Liverpool aim to refresh their squads
