Keep up-to-date with all the latest Arsenal transfer news and rumours, with updates on Joao Pedro, Andrey Santos and Nico Williams.

It’s just over one week until the summer transfer window opens for the first phase of registrations, with Arsenal ready to get some deals over the line.

Andrea Berta, who was appointed sporting director earlier this year, will get his first chance to make some changes to the squad.

With Mikel Arteta expecting some big moves to bolster his options, the Gunners will be entering the market at an exciting time.

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

Fabrizio Romano gives update on Joao Pedro transfer chance

Arsenal transfer target Joao Pedro is available this summer as Brighton are open to a potential sale for the forward.

That’s according to Fabrizio Romano, who claims that the Seagulls would let the Brazilian leave for €70 million (roughly £59 million).

Arsenal, along with rivals Liverpool and Chelsea, have been linked with Pedro as a possible option in the past.

He is versatile, having featured as a striker, an attacking midfielder and as a winger during his time at Brighton.

Andrey Santos’ transfer price tag revealed

Arsenal have been linked with a transfer for Chelsea wonderkid Andrey Santos, following an impressive season out on loan.

The Brazilian midfielder has been gaining experience on loan at Strasbourg in Ligue 1, where he has featured regularly, impressing along the way.

With interest being shown in Santos, a report from Sport claims that any move could cost at least €60 million (roughly £50.5 million).

It remains to be seen whether Arsenal will go on to make a move, with Chelsea potentially open to a sale.

Real Madrid consider move for Arsenal transfer target Nico Williams

Real Madrid look set to join the race to sign Nico Williams this summer, according to a report from Marca.

The Spaniard has been heavily linked with a switch to the Emirates Stadium, with Mikel Arteta showing a keen interest in bringing him to Arsenal.

However, with Real Madrid now in the mix, it could be a tough deal to do as his £49 million release clause could prove tempting for Los Blancos to trigger.

A final decision at Real Madrid is yet to be made on Williams, claims the report, but it’s believed to be a topic of conversation that is growing stronger.

Whether that will push Arsenal to make their move sooner is unclear, though.
