Arsenal news

Al-Hilal want to sign a new striker and have lined up Arsenal target Benjamin Sesko as a potential addition to their squad.

“Agent” Ethan Nwaneri has got Arsenal fans excited, with the teenage wonderkid considered to have offered a nod towards a Viktor Gyokeres transfer.

Arsenal fans have reacted with frustration to the news that the Gunners are pursuing Chelsea's Noni Madueke rather than more highly-rated wingers.

Arsenal’s preparations for the 2025-26 season are underway, and one of the most eye-catching developments at London Colney this week has been the presence of 15-year-old prodigy Max Dowman in first-team training. The highly rated youngster was involved in the senior squad’s pre-season fitness and technical sessions on Wednesday, joining a host of established stars on the pitch including Bukayo Saka.

Arsenal have lodged an initial bid for Chelsea winger Noni Madueke, worth around £50 million ($68m) including add-ons.

Arsenal's hopes of finalising a move for Sporting CP's Viktor Gyokeres remain in limbo but there is an optimism in both camps that a deal could be thrashed out in the next couple of days. The Gunners, who have identified the Swedish striker as their top summer priority, believed they had made considerable progress over the weekend. However, the two sides find themselves in a deadlock over the payment structure of the transfer.

Liverpool are reportedly weighing a move for Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo as they brace themselves for Luis Diaz's possible departure this summer. With increasing speculation surrounding the Colombian's future at Anfield, the Reds could rival Arsenal for the signature of the Brazilian star, who may be edging closer to his own exit from the Santiago Bernabeu.

Marseille have contacted Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang over potentially bringing him back to Stade Velodrome. The former Arsenal and Chelsea striker left Marseille last summer and joined Al-Qadsiah. However, the Saudi Pro League side are now planning to terminate his contract one year before its expiry date, which has alerted the French giants.

Arsenal are expected to make a direct approach for Noni Madueke shortly after agreeing personal terms with the Chelsea forward.

Arsenal star Bukayo Saka and girlfriend Tolami Benson attended Wimbledon to watch Carlos Alcaraz beat Cameron Norrie to reach the men's semi-finals.

Ademola Lookman has emerged as an option for Napoli as they prepare to add attacking options amid Victor Osimhen’s possible move to Galatasaray.

Former Liverpool forward Dean Saunders has lashed out at Arsenal wonderkid Ethan Nwaneri over his stance on a contract extension. Nwaneri has entered the final year of his existing deal and has reportedly issued an ultimatum to the Gunners, with the teenage sensation yet to sign fresh terms. Nwaneri is highly rated by the north London side and they want to secure his long-term future.

Viktor Gyokeres' proposed move to Arsenal could collapse amid an 'impasse' in negotiations with Sporting CP. Gunners officials have left Lisbon after failing to strike a final agreement with the Portuguese club. If the deal falls through, Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce are ready to try and sign the striker on loan.
