3 more Arsenal players on transfer shortlist as Norgaard holds medical

With Christian Norgaard on his way to Everton, three more Arsenal players remain on the transfer shortlist this summer.

Christian Norgaard is set to complete a transfer to Everton imminently, holding a medical with his potential new club today ahead of a £7m move. But Norgaard is unlikely to be the last Arsenal player to depart this summer, with at least a few more on the transfer list.

James McNicholas reports for The Athletic that Fabio Vieira, Reiss Nelson, and Gabriel Jesus all remain avaiable for transfer this summer, should an appropriate buyer be found.

Previous reports have suggested that Vieira would ideally like to return to Hamburger SV, where he spent last season on loan. But the German club remain at least €10m apart from Arsenal in their valuation of the midfielder, making that deal unlikely as things stand.

Vieira ended the 2025/26 season with 13 goal contributions for a bottom-half Bundesliga side, despite a very disrupted start to the campaign.

Then Nelson has been linked with the likes of Benfica and Valencia, as well as former loan club Fulham, but there have been no reports of bids for the Arsenal winger at this stage.

Though Jesus has always appeared to be for sale this summer, reports in May suggested he’s determined to stay at Arsenal and see out his contract, which expires in 2027.

If Jesus himself isn’t pushing his representatives to find him a new club, that’s inevitably going to limit the level of interest in him.

Arsenal are clearly open to offers for all three of the above players, but until those bids come in, it’s likely they’ll continue pre-season with Mikel Arteta’s side. All three featured as substitutes against Girona on Saturday, and they probably will again in the Real Betis friendly on Wednesday.
