Arsenal Transfer News LIVE: Nketiah to Marseille UPDATE, Merino TALKS, Zubimendi BLOW

Arsenal are set to miss out on signing Sverre Nypan.

The Norwegian wonderkid is recognised as one of the most promising talents in Europe and is wanted by a number of clubs including the Gunners and Manchester City.

However, it is actually Aston Villa who have won the race for his signature and the player is expected to move to Birmingham this summer. (Times)

Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool are all considering a bid for Ousmane Dembele this summer.

The Paris Saint-Germain winger is enjoying the most influential season of his career and has been a key factor in the club reaching the semi-final of the Champions League, while Ligue 1 has already been sewn up.

He has a current ETV of €67.6m, though PSG would want significantly more as a transfer fee. (Caught Offside)

Owen Hargreaves reckons Bukayo Saka could sign for Real Madrid in the future.

Followng Saka's performance against Los Blancos in the Champions League last week, the former Man Utd midfielder said on Rio Ferdinand's YouTube channel:

“I reckon after that - Arsenal won’t want to hear this - Real Madrid will be looking at him, thinking ‘he can play for us.’

“He still has a lot of work to do at Arsenal for three or four years - win the Premier League, [but] look at Trent. Won the league, won the Champions League, 27, [same age as] when Cristiano Ronaldo left [Man Utd for Real Madrid].

“You go there [Real Madrid] and it’s the next step, you test yourself. I can see Saka doing that when he’s 26 or so.”

Arsenal are currently leading the race to sign Nico Williams but the player himself is unsure about whether to move to North London.

The Spain winger will again be a wanted man this summer and is a target of many teams due to his €58 million release clause, with Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd and Barcelona some of the clubs linked.

Williams loves Athletic Club as well as the city of Bilbao, however, and the Basque club are willing to offer him a bumper new deal to stay. It is for those reasons that a move to Arsenal is by no means a foregone conclusion. (GiveMeSport)

Arsenal could secure a cut-price deal for Mohammed Kudus.

The West Ham forward was a revelation with the club last season but has been unable to replicate that form in what has been a dismal campaign for the Hammers in 2024/25.

The East London side initially wanted €100 million to allow him to leave, while a €120m move to Saudi Arabia was mentioned, but TeamTalk reports that the club would accept €70m. 

Moise Kean is unlikely to move to Arsenal or Newcastle this summer.

The Fiorentina striker is enjoying a superb season in Florence, with 17 Serie A goals to his name in 2024/25.

His performances have catalysed interest from Premier League clubs, but according to Tuttomercatoweb, Kean doesn't want to leave Fiorentina and risk his spot in the Italy squad for the 2026 World Cup.

Arsenal won't sign Raheem Sterling on a permanent basis but the player hasn't been officially informed yet.

Sterling is currently on loan at Arsenal from Manchester City but has had a dismal campaign, rarely making an impact when given the chance.

His future is up in the air as neither Arsenal nor Man City want him next season. (Mail)

Arsenal are interested in signing Nathan Collins from Brentford.

The Gunners are well-stocked in the centre of defence at the moment with William Saliba, Ben White, Gabriel, Riccardo Calafiori and Jakub Kiwior all in the squad, but should any of them leave, Arteta will look to Collins to provide cover. (TBR Football)
