Arsenal are picking up pace in the transfer market.
Andrea Berta hasn’t been able to get much done so far, but Christos Tzolis posing in an Arsenal shirt confirms that the deal is done, while a third bid has gone in to sign Bruno Guimaraes as well.
The Gunners need more reinforcements going into the new season, and a surprise new name has been linked with a move to the Emirates: Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Smart move or a waste of time: How would you react if Arsenal signed Aaron Wan-Bissaka?
Arsenal target move for Aaron Wan-Bissaka but won’t match West Ham’s asking price
Wan-Bissaka has had an interesting career in the Premier League.
After emerging as one of the best defensive talents in the country at Crystal Palace, the full-back got himself a big move to Manchester United.
He played nearly 200 games for the Red Devils before he was sold to West Ham in 2024 for a fee of £15 million.
Now relegated, the 28-year-old is expected to be on the move, and The Daily Mail have linked him with a move to Arsenal.
The Gunners could do with a new right-back because both Jurrien Timber and Ben White have had multiple injury issues in recent seasons.
Wan-Bissaka makes sense as a backup because of his defensive quality and experience in the Premier League, but Berta is not going to pay massive money to sign him.
The report mentions West Ham’s £25 million demand for Wan-Bissaka and claims that Arsenal have no interest in matching that figure.
It remains to be seen now if Berta will test the waters with a lower bid in the coming days.
