Arsenal fans are desperate to see a centre forward come into the club this summer with Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres linked. Gyokeres is desperate to join Arsenal and Andrea Berta has been locked in talks with Sporting Lisbon over a suitable fee for the Swedish striker. Sesko is being priced out of a move away from RB Leipzig as it appears the Gunners are deeming the valuation of the Slovenian far too excessive. Mikel Arteta is desperate to add firepower to his options in attack but it must be the right fit for his playing style and character of…
Noni Madueke is leaving Chelsea’s Club World Cup camp early to complete his summer transfer to Arsenal, according to a report. David Ornstein reports for The Athletic that Noni Madueke has been granted permission by Chelsea to leave their Club World Cup camp in the USA and travel back to the UK for a medical with Arsenal. With the two clubs agreeing a fee and the player agreeing personal terms on a five-year deal with the Gunners, there’s evidently a desire to finalise the transfer immediately. Fabrizio Romano broke the news of the fee agreement between Arsenal and Chelsea on…
Viktor Gyökeres has edged ahead of Benjamin Šeško to become Arsenal’s preferred striker target this summer. One of the main issues that held Arsenal back last season was the lack of a consistent goal scorer, someone capable of turning a game with just a single chance. In their bid to address that problem, Arsenal identified both Šeško and Gyökeres as potential signings. While Šeško recorded 21 goals in 45 appearances, Gyökeres delivered an astonishing 54 goals in 52 games. Initially, Arsenal favoured Šeško, but talks with RB Leipzig quickly became complicated due to the German side’s high demands. That shifted…
Former West Ham star, Anton Ferdinand, has expressed surprise that Arsenal failed to sign Mohammed Kudus. The Ghana international has been signed by Tottenham Hotspur, and Ferdinand believes the forward would have served Arsenal better than Noni Madueke. The Athletic reports that all papers have been signed by Arsenal and Chelsea for Madueke to move to the Emirates Stadium on a five-year deal. Meanwhile, Tottenham have completed the signing of Kudus. Ferdinand told GMS’ Market Madness podcast: “He’d be on fire in the Arsenal team. I think he does better in that Arsenal team than Madueke and players like that.”…

Arsenal are showing interest in a surprise summer move for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, journalist Rahman Osman has claimed. The Gunners reportedly have a meeting with Juventus scheduled next week to discuss the Serbia international’s potential arrival at the Emirates amid growing uncertainty over his future in Italy. Juventus are looking to offload Vlahovic’s hefty £315,000-a-week wages this summer and are even claimed to be prepared to terminate his contract to speed up his exit. Vlahovic is also believed to be high on Manchester United’s list of targets this summer, along with Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo. Arsenal are said to…
Elite football clubs typically have an extensive array of scouts involved in transfer plans to maximise quality and potential. But when Arsene Wenger managed Arsenal, all he needed was his own eyes and a television to confirm his interest in a Swedish talent. The Gunners entered the 1998 summer transfer window after being crowned Premier League and FA Cup winners in a domestic double. Wenger delivered silverware in just his first season in north London and began plans to build their dominance in English football. David Grondin was their first transfer from the Saint-Etienne youth setup before Nelson Vivas made…
Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres “remains open” to a move to Man Utd with a potential move to Arsenal stalling, according to reports. The Gunners have been hard at work attempting to convince the Portuguese club to sell the Sweden international on their terms but Sporting are holding firm. There are claims that Arsenal are prepared to pay the €80m that Sporting are asking for but it’s the fixed fee that is forming the problem in negotiations. It is understood that the Gunners are looking to pay €65m as a fixed amount with €15m more in bonuses, while Sporting are…

Arsenal are one of the biggest recipients of the Premier League’s TV money, which under Stan Kroenke’s largely self-funding financial model helps fund their activity in the transfer market. The Gunners are, however, less reliant than they once were on media cash. Last season, Arsenal generated £262m from TV income, with around two-thirds of that figure coming from the Premier League pot. That was out of total turnover of just shy of £614m. Increasingly, commercial and matchday are playing a bigger part. Through the turnstiles, Arsenal are expected to announce Premier League record revenue for 2024-25. Commercially, they were lagging…
