Arsenal’s transfer activity is heating up as they look to strengthen their squad. Reports indicate interest in Sporting CP’s Victor Gyökeres and Fenerbahce’s Ferdi Kadioglu, potentially adding firepower and defensive solidity, respectively.

Meanwhile, Jakub Kiwior’s recent form has put an end to rumours of a potential move to Sevilla, with his Arsenal future more secure.

Arsenal shows interest in Victor Gyökeres

Arsenal is showing increased interest in Sporting CP‘s star forward, Victor Gyökeres. The player’s exceptional performance this season, with 31 goals and 11 assists, has made him highly sought-after across Europe.

Sources indicate that Arsenal and PSG are both closely following Gyökeres’ progress. Gyökeres’ strategic move to Portugal was aimed at attracting attention from major clubs, and this appears to be paying off as a big transfer seems increasingly likely.

Sporting CP is likely to demand a significant transfer fee, given their initial €21 million investment in the player. They are known for tough negotiations, meaning Arsenal will need to be prepared for a substantial financial commitment.

Interest in Ferdi Kadioglu

Arsenal is reportedly preparing to make a move for Fenerbahce defender Ferdi Kadioglu this summer. Sources indicate the 24-year-old is highly likely to leave his current club after a strong season.

Interest from major European clubs has triggered action, with Italian champions Napoli already making overtures. Arsenal is also taking steps, planning to send scouts to observe Kadioglu’s upcoming match against Hatayspor.

Fenerbahce understands the value of their player and aims to secure a significant transfer fee. They hope to surpass the record set by Sacha Boey’s move to Bayern Munich, a €30 million deal. Arsenal will likely need to make a substantial financial commitment to add Kadioglu to their defence.

Jakub Kiwior’s growing importance

Sevilla‘s Director of Football, Victor Orta, initially showed strong interest in signing Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior. This came during a period when Kiwior was getting limited minutes at Arsenal.

However, Kiwior’s recent performances for Arsenal seems to have changed things. He’s gained favour with manager Mikel Arteta, also scoring a goal and providing an assist as a starting left-back.

Arteta’s public praise for Kiwior suggests the defender is becoming a key player for Arsenal. Thus, a transfer to Sevilla seems very unlikely, forcing Orta to reconsider his summer transfer plans according to La Colina de Nervión.
