Catch all the latest Arsenal news, including updates on Rodrygo, David Raya and Gabriel Magalhaes contract talks.

Arsenal’s players are preparing to join up with their respective national sides to close out a long and gruelling season.

For Mikel Arteta, this close season will be a time of reflection and no doubt more analysis into what went wrong this campaign and how it will be rectified.

The Champions League final between PSG and Inter Milan is a stark reminder of how close the Gunners came to glory this season but need a strong summer transfer window in order to get over the line.

So, with that said, here’s a look at the latest news ahead of another big day.

Rodrygo hints at future plans

Real Madrid announced the signing of Trent Alexander Arnold for a fee of £10m in order for the England international to join up with them early for the FIFA Club World Cup.

Arsenal transfer target Rodrygo has appeared to hint at his future after sending Alexander-Arnold a welcome message to the Spanish outfit.

Rodrygo simply commented on Real Madrid’s Instagram post confirming the signing by writing: “Woooooow.”

Social media activity like this will only serve to cement the idea that the Brazilian is willing to stay at the Bernabeu and fight for his place under Xabi Alonso.
