All completed Arsenal transfers so far in 2024-25 - listed

Arsenal have been linked with a number of players in the January window, but progress on new signings has been slow.

Marquinhos has remained in Brazil following the end of his loan spell at Fluminense, signing instead for Cruzeiro on year-long loan.

Arsenal bolstered their defense by spending £42 million ($53m) to bring Riccardo Calafiori from Bolognain a statement move, while manager Mikel Arteta strengthened the midfield with the acquisition of Spain's Euro 2024 standout Mikel Merino from Real Sociedad for a reasonable fee of £32 million ($42m).

David Raya was signed on a permanent deal after a successful loan spell from Brentford last season, and his early performances this season suggest that the club's decision to back him as their first-choice goalkeeper is already proving to be wise. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Neto joined on a season-long loan deal from Bournemouth.

In a last-minute move, Raheem Sterling joined on a season-long loan, bringing much-needed depth to the wing positions and a significant boost of title-winning experience to the squad.

Elsewhere, while Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly have been promoted from the U21 side, Kieran Tierney and Marquinhos have returned from their loan deals with Real Sociedad and Fluminense respectively.

It was a busy summer on the outgoing front, too, as several big names waved goodbye to Emirates Stadium.

The biggest transfer sale by Arsenal was the departure of former England international Emile Smith Rowe, who joined Fulham in a deal worth up to £34 million ($43m) including add-ons after struggling for form and fitness in the last couple of seasons.

Aaron Ramsdale sealed a permanent move to Southampton in the final days of the window, while Eddie Nketiah joined Crystal Palace in a deal worth up to £30million ($39m).

Elsewhere, Mohamed Elneny departed for the Middle East, while Albert Sambi Lokonga, Reiss Nelson, Fabio Vieira and Nuno Tavares will spend next season away from north London once again, with the quartet seemingly part of the long-term future at the club.

Twenty-two-year-old goalkeeper Karl Hein has found a new loan destination for the 2024-25 season at Real Valladolid. Fabio Vieira has also secured a loan move to Porto.

Arsenal managed to generate significant funds, a feat they haven’t excelled at in recent years. By offloading Nketiah, Smith Rowe, and Ramsdale, they brought in over €80 million, giving them valuable financial flexibility for future transfer windows. While the club chose not to invest heavily in a striker, despite some fan demands, they still emerged as one of the success stories of this transfer window.
