Arsenal’s summer transfer window is in full swing, with the club confirming the acquisition of defender Riccardo Calafiori

Olympique de Marseille have made a new bid for Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah, with talks to continue despite the offer falling short of the Gunners’ valuation.

Mikel Merino is reportedly close to joining Arsenal from Real Sociedad, with the Spanish club already eyeing a replacement in Valencia’s Javi Guerra.

Before completing the signing of Riccardo Calafiori, Arsenal considered a move for Piero Hincapie of Bayer Leverkusen.

Reports of Arsenal interest in Paris Saint-Germain’s Fabian Ruiz have been played down, with Mikel Merino remaining the club’s primary midfield target.

Real Sociedad are moving to sign a replacement for Mikel Merino, knowing that the Arsenal target is set to leave this summer.

Arsenal’s summer transfer strategy is to add depth to Mikel Arteta’s options, rather than to add superstars to raise the level of the first-choice lineup.

Arsenal’s pursuit of a new striker intensifies as they prioritise Viktor Gyökeres over Victor Osimhen, who is facing transfer complications with PSG.

Real Sociedad believe holding onto Mikel Merino is a lost cause, and Arsenal are emerging as the clear favourites for the midfielder’s signature.
