Arsenal’s summer 2025 transfer window has been marked by strategic acquisitions aimed at strengthening key areas of the squad.
The Gunners have initiated discussions with German winger Leroy Sane, who could join the club on a free transfer as his contract ends this summer.
Arsenal are also close to launching a bid for striker Benjamin Sesko, who is identified as a top target for the club. As a backup, they could also enter the race for Joao Pedro. Meanwhile, efforts are underway to secure the future of academy talent Myles Lewis-Skelly, who is in the final year of his current contract and reportedly drawing interest from Real Madrid.
These moves suggest a strategic rebuild under Mikel Arteta as Arsenal aims to revamp its squad and compete more effectively next season.

Arsenal’s summer 2025 transfer window has seen a significant reshaping of the squad, with several departures confirmed and others anticipated as Mikel Arteta continues to refine his team.
Among the confirmed exits, Kieran Tierney has made an emotional return to Celtic on a free transfer after his contract with Arsenal expired. Midfielders Jorginho and Thomas Partey are also set to leave upon the conclusion of their contracts, with Jorginho reportedly signing a pre-contract agreement with Flamengo, and Partey attracting interest from clubs like Barcelona.
Additionally, Arsenal has released several players at the end of their contracts, including loanees Raheem Sterling and Neto.
Looking ahead, the club is expected to offload players such as Oleksandr Zinchenko and Jakub Kiwior, who have fallen out of favour, as well as Albert Sambi-Lokonga. Nuno Tavares, who was on loan, has been sold to Lazio on a permanent deal.
These moves are part of a broader strategy to streamline the squad and generate funds for new signings, as Arsenal aims to bolster key positions and build a team capable of competing at the highest level in the upcoming season.
