Catch all of the latest Arsenal transfer news and rumours, including updates on Nico Williams, Rodrygo and Joao Pedro.
The first summer transfer window opens in just over one week, and for Arsenal, it represents a huge opportunity to improve the squad.
Andrea Berta is working hard to make additions to the team, with Mikel Arteta going close but missing out on silverware.
With forwards on the radar, Arsenal fans are anticipating a big few weeks ahead in the transfer window.
So with that said, here’s a look at the latest Arsenal transfer news and rumours.
Mikel Arteta holds direct talks with Nico Williams over Arsenal transfer
Arsenal have long been linked with a move for Nico Williams, with the winger being a clear option for the Gunners.
With the summer transfer window around the corner, the Spaniard appears to be on the radar again, as Caught Offside claims that Arsenal are stepping up their bid to land him.
The report states that Mikel Arteta has held “direct talks” with the 22-year-old to discuss the project and plan for him.
Williams has a £50million release clause that can be triggered this summer, allowing Arsenal to skip straight to personal term discussions.
How Arsenal feel about Rodrygo transfer possibility
Another winger who has been heavily linked with Arsenal this summer is Real Madrid star Rodrygo.
The Brazilian looks set for a potential exit from the Bernabeu, with plenty of change expected at the club in the weeks ahead.
With the Gunners rumoured as potential suitors, transfer expert David Ornstein has given an update in his Athletic Q and A.
On Arsenal’s move for Rodrygo, he said: “Rodrygo is obviously really well-liked at Arsenal, but that isn’t surprising considering how good he is, and it doesn’t mean they will recruit him.
“Again, loads of factors such as: What are the club-to-club, player and agent terms? Do Arsenal want to make a proper push? Is it affordable with all the other business they need/want to do? Would somebody have to leave, and how likely is that? Does Rodrygo want to join Arsenal? Who else is in contention?”
Brighton transfer stance on Joao Pedro deal
Joao Pedro looks set to leave Brighton this summer, with the Seagulls looking to cash in on the Brazilian’s rise to the top.
Arsenal have been among the teams interested in a potential switch for the forward as they look to build on the scoring possibilities in the team.
However, according to TBR Football, Brighton are set to stick a £100 million price tag on any possible move next month.
It may be the sort of figure that could put Arsenal off making a move.
