Catch all the latest Arsenal news, including updates on Bukayo Saka, Michal Rosiak and Rodrygo transfer.

Arsenal are still making preparations for the new season, as work steps up both on and off the pitch to get everything in place.

On the pitch, pre-season is ramping up, with players taking part in a training camp to get them back to full fitness.

Aside from that, plenty of work is being done on potential new signings and fresh contract extensions for key stars.

So, with that said, here’s a look at the latest Arsenal news today ahead of another busy day of action.

Paul Merson gives Bukayo Saka theory on Noni Madueke transfer

Arsenal are set to sign Noni Madueke this summer in a deal that will improve the forward ranks for the years ahead.

For Paul Merson, though, there is a concern that the deal is due to a knock-on effect on Bukayo Saka at the club.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Merson said: “Call me a cynic, but is there another reason why they are doing this deal [for Madueke]? Are there concerns about the future of Saka?

“Are they getting this deal done, and then all of a sudden it allows a potential sale of Saka or someone else. The one player at Arsenal who has to play every week is Saka. When he doesn’t play, they are not the same team.

“The players around him are not the same when he doesn’t play. If fit, he plays. So why do you spend £52m on a backup for him?”

Spanish outlet AS have shared an update on Rodrygo’s situation, claiming that he would be open to a move, but only if the club want him to leave.
