Arsenal monitors Shakhtar Donetsk striker Kaua Elias for potential transfer

Summary

Arsenal is reportedly interested in Shakhtar Donetsk striker Kaua Elias. The Gunners have been tracking the Brazilian forward's performance for some time, especially as Mikel Arteta's squad looks to enhance its attacking options ahead of the new season. Viktor Gyokeres currently leads Arsenal's attack, while Gabriel Jesus may be sold after an injury-plagued season. Given that Jesus has a year left on his contract and may not be renewed, Arsenal is open to bringing in Elias as a potential replacement. The 2026 summer transfer window remains active as Arsenal evaluates its offensive strategies.
