Arsenal are still eager to strengthen their attack as they consider signing three new players. The Gunners have been very active this summer, recruiting Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke, Christian Norgaard and Kepa Arrizabalaga.
They also hope to complete contracts with Valencia defender Cristhian Mosquera and Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres in the coming days.
With Gyokeres, every stage is finally completed for Arsenal to announce this blockbuster deal. The transfer fee could be up to 63.5 million Euros in advance, plus 10 million Euros in add-ons.
The negotiations that have lasted for a long time in the summer of 2025 are largely due to the two sides' debate over the feasibility and conditions of the additional bonus. However, there are only a few minor adjustments before signing the contract.
In that context, coach Mikel Arteta said: "In terms of quantity, we are lacking and need to improve the depth and quality of the squad.
We continuously search in the market. Until that happens, focus on the existing players and maximize their abilities. I am very satisfied with what I have seen in the past 10-15 days".
According to British media, Arsenal are also considering recruiting Real Madrid winger Rodrygo, Newcastle star Anthony Gordon and Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze. Sources say any deal could affect the futures of Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard at the Emirates.
Rodrygo has been linked with a move to Arsenal this summer, after being left out of Real Madrid. He has only played once under new coach Xabi Alonso at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. The Brazilian was an unused reserve in the heavy 0-4 loss to Paris St-Germain in the semi-finals.
When asked about Rodrygo's future after the loss to PSG, Alonso replied: "I didn't play Rodrygo for professional reasons. We think it would be better if we had other players. The problem is not his future.
Not playing anymore is the decision for each match. With the current situation, we need another player. There has been no decision on the future throughout the season. We didn't rotate the squad much either."
Eze, meanwhile, has a £68 million release clause. And the player has also spoken about the possibility of leaving Palace. "I just focus on being the best player I can be, regardless of the concern or whatever happens.
I want to enjoy football where I live. I only care about what I can control. I really, really want to be the best player I can be.
Whether it takes me to another club or anywhere, I feel secure about it. And I also try to maintain that peace" - Eze shared.
