Big teams always need forwards. And in the coming summer, the football community is sure to witness several sensational transfers associated with strikers changing clubs. Below is a list of the top 11 scorers who are expected to be in the queue of top clubs in the summer.

Age: 25
Statistics this season: 23+5 in 33 games

The Swedish striker is one of the main draws of the summer. The 25-year-old forward is currently in the prime of his career: he is third in the Premier League's top scorers with 19 goals, behind Mohamed Salah (25) and Erling Haaland (21). But it is difficult to compete with Newcastle for the Premier League and Champions League titles. Isak, who won his first trophy (the League Cup) with Newcastle in March, is now ready to move to big clubs in Europe. Top clubs are also interested in buying him. Insider David Ornstein reported that Isak is a contender for Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Barcelona. In particular, the Gunners have long been interested in him, and the team's head coach Mikel Arteta is a fan of him. At the same time, Newcastle do not want to let go of their top scorer and will not consider an offer of less than 150 million pounds. If the Ravens do not qualify for next season's Champions League, it will be practically impossible to keep the player.

Victor Dejeres (Sporting)

Age: 26
Statistics this season: 42+11 in 42 games
Current contract: June 30, 2028
Transfer price: €75 million

The second striker of the Swedish national team also has incredible statistics. Dejeres has scored an average of one goal per game. Even taking into account the weaker Portuguese championship, it is worth noting that he has scored 6 goals in eight Champions League games. So, there is no doubt about the 26-year-old forward's ability. Moreover, he has been showing cosmic statistics for the second season.

According to The Athletic, the forward only wants to move to a club that regularly participates in the Champions League. Therefore, at the moment, Manchester United, led by his former coach at Sporting, Ruben Amorim, can be crossed off the list. The main contender for the Scandinavian player is Arsenal. Influential insiders reported that the new sporting director of the London club, Andrea Berta, is a big fan of him, and Arsenal has been interested in him since last summer. Sources from Bild and Record.pt reported that Bayern Munich is seriously interested in him. Also, among the teams that want to sign Deokeresh in the summer are Chelsea (GiveMeSport), Manchester City and Barcelona (Florian Plettenberg). Sporting is ready to part with the player for 70-75 million euros.

Benjamin Šeško (RB Leipzig)

Age: 21
Statistics this season: 17+6 in 37 games
Current contract: June 30, 2029
Transfer price: €65 million

The young Slovenian striker could have arrived in the Premier League as early as January 2025. However, RB Leipzig did not let Šeško go to Arsenal. However, the German team will have enough options in the summer to sell Benjamin for a good amount. The 193 cm tall forward has excellent technique and speed, which could be an ideal match for top clubs.

The Athletic reported that Arsenal remain interested in Šeško. Manchester United are also interested in the forward. The Slovenian's style of play has attracted the attention of the team's coach Ruben Amorim. Benjamin is also on the shortlist of Chelsea (GiveMeSport) and Bayern Munich (Bild). Munich are still considering whether to choose Šeško or Djokeres.

Jonathan David (Lille)

Age: 25
Statistics this season: 23+10 in 42 games
Current contract: June 30, 2025
Transfer fee: €45 million

David will leave Lille as a free agent in the summer. The Canadian striker's contract runs until June 2025, and the player has rejected the club's latest offer to renew his contract. Transfermarkt values ​​Jonathan's transfer fee at €45 million, a fee that Lille will not be able to afford.

So far, there has been little interest from top clubs in David. In November 2024, Mundo Deportivo reported that the forward would like to move to Barcelona. Insiders have recently reported interest from West Ham and Arsenal. Jonathan also has an option to join Inter Milan, which is keen to sign free agents. As the summer approaches, the number of interested teams is likely to increase.

Olli Watkins (Aston Villa)

Age: 29
Statistics this season: 14+12 in 42 games
Current contract: June 30, 2028
Transfer fee: €50 million

Watkins is an important player for Aston Villa. He is not only a great number nine, but also a great creator of chances. His 12 assists this season confirm this. However, due to his age, the summer of 2025 may be Ollie's last chance to transfer to a top club. Arsenal made a serious attempt to sign him in January, but his transfer fee turned the Londoners away. Aston Villa, who sold another striker, Duran, to Saudi Arabia for a huge sum, have since demanded £80m for the England striker. The clubs could negotiate again in the summer.

Liam Delap (Ipswich Town)

Age: 22
Current season stats: 10+2 in 31 games
Current contract: June 30, 2029
Transfer fee: €35 million

The only player on this list not linked to Arsenal, Liam Delap is a Manchester City academy graduate. He has been playing for the club since 2019. In the summer of 2024, Liam joined Ipswich, who returned to the Premier League. And in his first season, the underdog has already stood out in the team. Delap has scored 10 goals in 26 games and Ipswich are still fighting to stay in the top flight.

However, in the summer, Liam could return to Manchester. Not just City, but United. The Athletic reported that the club is interested in Delap. Chelsea and Tottenham are also interested in the 21-year-old forward (Caught Offside). So, even if Ipswich are relegated to the Championship this season, Liam will most likely play in the Premier League next season.

Dušan Vlahović (Juventus)

Age: 25
Statistics this season: 14+3 in 35 games
Current contract: June 30, 2026
Transfer fee: €45 million

Vlahović is currently on the bench after Juventus signed French striker Randal Colo Mouani on loan. The media began reporting a year ago that the Serbian would soon move to another league. For example, in January, Arsenal were reported to be interested in him. La Gazzetta dello Sport recently reported that Dusan had a bad relationship with Juve coach Thiago Motta. However, the coach was sacked shortly after and the player may now change his mind.

Insider Nicolo Schira has reported that Juventus are asking for around €25-30m for Dusan. That's a reasonable price for a player with one year left on his contract. According to Caught Offside, Arsenal are still interested in the player. Manchester United are also interested.

Moise Kean (Fiorentina)

Age: 25
Statistics this season: 21+3 in 35 games
Current contract: June 30, 2029
Transfer fee: €40 million

Moise Kean has resumed his career at Fiorentina. The striker, who first shone at Juventus and then moved to Everton, did not fare well in the Premier League, and the forward could not play as well as before at his former team. After moving to Florence last summer, he has scored 16 goals in 27 Serie A games this season. Arsenal are now interested in the 25-year-old. The Londoners will also be in the running for the centre-forward this summer.

According to Caught Offside, the player's €52m release clause will be triggered in the summer, and if an offer of that amount is received, the club will be forced to let him go. Will Arsenal decide to pay such a sum? The English clubs Tottenham and Aston Villa are also competing for the player.

Victor Osimhen (Napoli, Galatasaray on loan)

Age: 26
Current season stats: 26+5 in 31 games
Current contract: June 30, 2026
Transfer fee: €70 million

Victor Osimhen is currently on loan at Galatasaray. However, the Nigerian striker has a transfer right to Napoli and will return to Italy at the end of the season. He tried to leave the club in the summer of 2024, but the Neapolitans could not agree on the terms of the contract with Chelsea. In the end, the relationship between Napoli and Osimhen broke down. Because of this, Victor will not be able to stay in the team anyway.

A few years ago, when he was having a strong season at Napoli, in addition to Chelsea, Arsenal also tried to buy this player, and due to the problems in the attack due to injuries, the club's management may still consider his candidacy. In practice, there are two main contenders for Osimhen - Manchester United and Juventus. However, the Italians are now focusing their attention on buying out the contract of Randal Colo Moani, who has played well. Therefore, Manchester United will be the number one option for the Nigerian striker. Business Day wrote that the agreement between Napoli and the Mancunians is 95% completed. The English club wants to pay 70 million euros for Osimhen. Calciomercato, on the other hand, has a different story: Manchester United will pay €40m for Victor and give Napoli Rasmus Heylund. It's too early to talk about a final deal, but more will become clear when the summer begins.

Matheo Reteghi (Atalanta)

Age: 25
Statistics this season: 25+5 in 41 games
Current contract: June 30, 2028
Transfer fee: €45 million

The Argentine-born, Italian-born striker, who has been filling the gap between the country's national team and the strikers, has finally reached a new level. Atalanta's glory days under Gasperini are fading, and Reteghi is attracting interest from a stronger league. According to Caught Offside, Arsenal and Manchester United are both tracking the player. The Bergamo side are asking €60m for the striker, who is currently Serie A's top scorer with 22 goals (plus four assists).

Mika Bieret (Monaco)

Age: 22
Current season stats: 14+5 in 25 games (for Sturm); 12+3 in 13 games (at Monaco)
Current contract: June 30, 2029
Transfer fee: €25 million

The player played for Arsenal's youth teams at one time, and in the summer of 2024 he was sold to the Austrian club Sturm for €7 million. Two years ago, Mika Bieret was known only to Austrians and scouts. However, in a short time, the 22-year-old forward has really opened up. In January, Monaco bought him for €13 million. The Danish player has continued to show impressive statistics even after moving to a stronger league: 11 games, 12 goals and three assists. Bieret compares himself to Kane and Haaland. So far, there is no information about the clubs that are seriously interested in him. However, if the forward continues to score goals at this rate, there may be a queue of clubs wanting to use his services. Maybe Arsenal will want to correct their mistake?
