All the latest Arsenal transfer news in one place, including updates on Viktor Gyokeres, Rodrygo and Nico Williams.
Exclusive: Sporting CP set new Gyokeres condition
FootballTransfers understands that Arsenal officials will be in attendance for the Portuguese cup final between Sporting CP and Benfica on May 25.
The Gunners are beginning to ramp up their pursuit of Viktor Gyokeres, but a potential stumbling block is now emerging.
Sporting CP have made a new demand regarding the payment structure of any potential deal, and the Swede has accepted his club's decision, even though it means that a transfer could be more difficult to complete now.
Arsenal's nine-man shortlist
Gyokeres is just one of many names on Arsenal's summer shortlist as the Gunners get ready for a transformative transfer window.
Mikel Arteta and his recruitment team have reportedly identified nine different players who could come in and bolster the attack this summer.
Some of these targets are more attainable than others, but all of them signal Arsenal's ambitions to really make a splash in the market.
Arsenal in three-way tussle for Pedro
One of the attacking options Arsenal are considering is Brighton forward Joao Pedro, who has massively impressed since joining the Seagulls in 2023.
The Brazilian is a different profile compared to someone like Gyokeres, but he is nevertheless on the North London club's radar for the upcoming window.
Whether Arsenal will manage to secure his signing remains to be seen, however, as there are at least two other big Premier League sides with a concrete interest in acquiring his services.
Arteta wants Rodrygo
Real Madrid winger Rodrygo is a name that has been frequently associated with a summer transfer, and particularly one to North London.
The Brazilian is allegedly being 'forced out' of Real Madrid to fund a summer rebuild under Xabi Alonso.
It has now been confirmed that Arsenal boss Arteta is a huge admirer of the 24-year-old, but is a deal possible?
Williams suited to Arsenal
Nico Williams has been on Arsenal's radar for well over a year now, and he continues to be a priority target for Arteta.
Although he has had a mixed bag of a season by his high standards, he is still being pursued by Arsenal.
Williams has yet to make a decision on his future, but the data suggests that he would be wise to choose the Gunners.
Arsenal interested in Santos
Arsenal are increasingly being linked with an interest in Chelsea loanee Andrey Santos.
The Brazilian is currently in his second temporary spell at Ligue 1 side Strasbourg, where he has become one of the division's best midfielders.
Chelsea initially intended to integrate him into their side this summer, but the growing interest could convince them to change plans.
