Arsenal transfer market news

 Mikel Arteta asked about Rodrygo links:

"I wouldn’t like to name a player, but there is pride because we have brought the club into a position that next season people are saying: ‘You have to win a major trophy.’

 🇧🇷

"And that means that everybody believes, and that we are an elite team in this country and in Europe. The biggest statement is that Arsenal is there.

"What is clear with the amount of injuries that we had in the front line is that we need a goal threat and we need firepower. Understanding that the context can change tomorrow, we cannot rely just on the numbers that we had before.

"We have to add goals, creativity, and we have to add numbers, and that will be in different positions."

Arteta on Andrea Berta: "He is going to be a big contributor. His experience, the fact that he has already won and won in a very difficult context as well.

"The way he has built teams is exceptional. We have to share all that responsibility.

"Andrea is going to be a key part in driving the idea and the plans that we have to try to execute them, and we are here to support him."

Mikel Arteta confirms he wants Thomas Partey to stay at Arsenal.

Real Madrid are seriously considering activating Nico William's release clause. Rodrygo would be the main candidate to leave the club if the operation is finally undertaken, which is already discussed internally. [marca], Rodrygo is a much better and established prospect to go for. He elevates our attack and will possibly give us options in every attacking position. He will cost more but will be worth it at the end.

🚨 Leandro Trossard’s representatives have been engaged in talks with Andrea Berta over his contract. Those conversations, however, do NOT centre on an extension, but an uplift in salary.

Arsenal have recognized for some time that Trossard’s contract does not reflect his standing within the squad & are now engaged in negotiations to put that right. [@gunnerblog].

⏳ While it’s still too early to confirm an exact return date, there’s early optimism that Timber will be fit and ready for pre-season. 👏 A warrior mentality — and if all goes well, a full return for the 2025/26 season awaits.

🚨🗣 Arteta "We need a goal scorer. The players we have are not enough, we should add players who can score goals and are creative", Arteta's words are clear and he is ready to take over a goal scorer but the management of the team is not understanding. Ahmed Abdishakur.
