Arsenal are making strong moves in the transfer market this summer as manager Mikel Arteta looks to build a team capable of challenging for the Premier League title and going deep in the Champions League. Here’s the latest on who’s arrived, who might join, and who’s leaving the Emirates.
New Signings So Far
| Player | Position | From | Fee | Contract |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Martin Zubimendi | Midfielder | Real Sociedad | £56 million | 5 years |
| Kepa Arrizabalaga | Goalkeeper | Chelsea | £5 million | 3 years |

Viktor Gyökeres Transfer Saga (Ongoing)
One of the biggest stories of Arsenal’s transfer window is their pursuit of Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres. Gyökeres had a brilliant season in Portugal and would give Arsenal another attacking option.
- Arsenal have reportedly agreed on a base fee of around €63.5 million (about £55 million) with Sporting CP, but negotiations are currently focused on the structure and achievability of potential bonus payments.
- Gyökeres is said to be keen on the move and has even skipped training to push for a transfer.
- Even with the current issues, many people think the deal will still happen because Arsenal believe Gyökeres is the perfect striker to help them score more goals.
Players Leaving
- Jorginho and Thomas Partey have moved on, making space in midfield for new signings.
- Kieran Tierney and Takehiro Tomiyasu are also heading out, as Arteta reshapes his defensive options.
- There are rumours that Leandro Trossard could be included in a deal for Eze, though nothing is confirmed.
What Comes Next?
- Gyökeres: Arsenal hope to finalise the striker’s transfer soon, ideally before pre-season tours in the U.S. and Asia.
- Eze: Talks are ongoing, and Arsenal want to wrap up business early to integrate new players into Arteta’s system.
- Possible further signings: Arsenal may also look at other attacking options like Rodrygo (Real Madrid), Anthony Gordon (Newcastle), or Rafael Leão (AC Milan), but these would likely require selling players first.
Conclusion
Arsenal are working hard in the transfer market, determined to strengthen the team in key areas. Arteta wants more depth and quality to turn Arsenal into consistent challengers for the Premier League and Champions League. Fans have every reason to be excited, as the coming weeks could bring more big announcements and shape Arsenal’s future for years to come.
