TRANSFER RUMOURS: Arsenal FC Sets Aside £200m For Arrizabalaga, Eberechi, Rodrigo, Zubimendi, Norgaard
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta could soon face some welcome selection headaches as the club edges closer to securing three high-profile attacking signings ahead of the 2025/26 campaign as reported by Football.London.
The Gunners have already completed the signing of Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea, bringing in experienced competition for David Raya between the posts. But that’s just the beginning of a busy summer window.
Deals for midfielders Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad and Brentford captain Christian Norgaard are said to be agreed, with Zubimendi’s transfer expected to be finalised following the start of the new financial year.
Norgaard became a priority after contract talks with Thomas Partey reportedly stalled.
In defence, Arsenal are still negotiating with Valencia for Cristhian Mosquera after an initial offer was rejected. Talks remain ongoing, with a second bid expected soon.
Upfront, the North London club are targeting three forward signings, with RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko and Real Madrid’s Rodrygo identified as leading options.
Arsenal are also pursuing Crystal Palace winger Eberechi Eze, with talks held over the weekend. Sources suggest all three could join before the window closes.
Should all deals materialize, Arteta would face difficult decisions in midfield and attack. Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, and Martin Odegaard are already mainstays, and adding Rodrygo, Sesko, and Eze would create fierce competition for places.
