\"Emirates
Arsenal have so far acquired the trio of Kepa Arrizabalaga, Mart\u00edn Zubimendi and Christian N\u00f8rgaard, with more new faces expected to be on the way <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In our last blog, we went through the current situation at Arsenal together and looked at realistic and dream transfer targets. Now, roughly three weeks later, we can be much more specific. The transfer window is in full swing and Arsenal have done enough so far by their standards. Both in terms of the number of transfers and the money spent. It's no secret that Mikel Arteta<\/a> ideally wants to have all the new faces in the squad before the Asian training camp that awaits Arsenal at the end of July. It looks like the Spanish manager is doing everything he can to make that happen. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New reinforcements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the moment, Arsenal have confirmed the arrival of three football players<\/strong>. The goalkeeper position was filled by Kepa Arrizabalaga<\/a><\/strong>, while the center row was expanded Mart\u00edn Zubimendi<\/a><\/strong> and Christian N\u00f8rgaard<\/a><\/strong>. The next reinforcement should become Noni Madueke<\/a><\/strong>...who should have passed his physical by now. In his case, we are practically only waiting for an official announcement from the club. And finally, the hottest part! According to relevant sources, Arsenal management has made significant progress in negotiations with Sporting regarding the transfer Viktor Gy\u00f6keres<\/strong>. The agreement should be very close. But let's look at everything in order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kepa Arrizabalaga<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Arsenal's first summer signing is a goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga<\/strong>who headed to north London from rival Chelsea for just \u00a35 million<\/strong>. The Spanish goalkeeper, with experience in the best competitions in the world (including the Premier League), should back his compatriot in Mikel Arteta's team David Ray<\/a>. All things considered, signing Kepa was a good move in my opinion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mart\u00edn Zubimendi<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Long awaited arrival Mart\u00edn Zubimendi from Real Sociedad finally became a reality in the summer transfer window<\/strong>. Arsenal have been battling with the likes of Liverpool and Real Madrid for the Spanish midfielder's services. However, the enormous interest of Mikel Arteta convinced Mart\u00edn Zubimendi to sign for Arsenal London, where he should be one of the pillars of the midfield. The final transfer sum that will go into the San Sebastian club's coffers is \u00a351 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christian N\u00f8rgaard<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After the club left Jorginho and Thomas Partey<\/a><\/strong>, Arsenal needed to replenish the midfield not only in terms of personnel. With the departure of the two aforementioned players Cannoneers' players<\/a> he's lost a lot of experience. That's why the North London management decided to bring in the former Brentford captain Christian N\u00f8rgaard<\/strong>. The Danish international joined Arsenal for \u00a310 million (\u00a32 million in potential bonuses)<\/strong>. With his arrival, Arsenal gained the necessary experience and the necessary width in the centre of midfield. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speculation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What speculation is circulating in the media and which players are close to a move to the Emirates Stadium? I'll just reveal that The Canaries will soon unveil another reinforcement and that they are extremely close to getting their dream offensive reinforcements<\/strong>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noni Madueke<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the case of the England international, it is almost impossible to talk about \"speculation\". Noni Madueke's transfer from Chelsea to Arsenal has been confirmed by all relevant sources<\/strong>. The 23-year-old winger will become the next footballer to change his location within the capital and exchange the blue jersey for the red one. The amount Arsenal will have to send to Stamford Bridge is \u00a348 million + \u00a34 million in potential bonuses<\/strong>. It was the price of the transfer that sparked a wave of negative reactions among Canaries fans. In my opinion, the amount is also unnecessarily exorbitant, but if Arsenal has the means to bring in a difference spike striker (I'll get to that in the following lines) and another winger, I don't have the slightest problem with his transfer. Let's see what kind of position Noni Madueke builds at Arsenal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Viktor Gy\u00f6keres<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Arsenal should finally be very close to getting the main transfer target of the whole summer! This the information has already been confirmed by renowned journalists Fabrizio Romano and David Ornstein<\/strong>. Despite the fact that the Swedish striker had an agreement with Sporting president Federico Varandas regarding the amount of the transfer fee, Sporting rejected Arsenal's offers, although they were even higher than the agreed amount. The Portuguese club's behaviour led to Viktor Gy\u00f6keres refusing to start training to make it clear that he does not intend to continue at Sporting. The situation between Sporting and Gy\u00f6keres has escalated considerably in recent days, but by all accounts this should be the end of it. Swedish sharpshooter expected to join Arsenal in the coming days<\/strong>. The final transfer amount agreed by both clubs is \u00a355 million + \u00a38 million in potential bonuses<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cristhian Mosquera<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Canaries' interest in the Valencia defender has been rumoured for the first time about two weeks ago.<\/strong>. The management of the London team has even sent a first offer for the player, which the Spanish club rejected. Arsenal are expected to return very soon with an improved offer that should satisfy Valencia's demands. Specifically, it should be for a sum in the region of \u00a317 million<\/strong>. Personal terms shouldn't be a problem, Mosquera is interested in a move to north London and wants to become part of Mikel Arteta's squad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eberechi Eze<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Arsenal's interest in the English offensive all-rounder is nothing new. A number of sources even confirmed the previous communication between the player and the club regarding personal terms<\/strong>. Arsenal are well aware of the buyout clause the Eagles star has built into his contract. Specifically. \u00a360 million<\/strong>. Arsenal plan to renew talks with Crystal Palace over the transfer of Eze, with the understanding that they would like to bring the price down below the buy-out clause. It occurs to me that the Arsenal management might include in the offer one of the players they are not counting on in the future. Let's be surprised how the situation turns out in the end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rodrigo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The latest name to be linked with a move to Arsenal, perhaps since the end of last season, is Rodrigo<\/strong>. The Brazilian footballer remains in the shadow of his star teammates at Real Madrid, and so there is logical speculation about his departure. Moreover, in recent days, there have been media reports that the Spanish club is the Brazilian offensive player's to sell for around \u00a390 million<\/strong>. Although Mikel Arteta is one of his big admirers, I don't think Rodrygo will be heading to the Emirates Stadium. I see the price and salary demands of the player as the main reasons. Considering how much Arsenal have already spent in the summer transfer window (and will soon spend even more), then Rodrygo will be too expensive for Arsenal, plain and simple.<\/strong>. Moreover, his services will be in great demand in the camp of other clubs. To be clear, I would of course welcome the arrival of the Brazilian, but as I wrote, it seems absolutely unrealistic to me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

New contracts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently. have extended their contracts with Arsenal Gabriel<\/a> and Myles Lewis-Skelly<\/a><\/strong>. They should soon be joined by Ethan Nwaneri<\/a><\/strong>who has attracted the interest of many clubs on the transfer market and you may have even come across some speculation about his departure, but his future is at Arsenal<\/strong>. In addition to acquiring new reinforcements, the Canaries' management is also working hard to retain its best players and biggest talents. Keep up the good work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Departures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is probably not much to go into here. So first of all we will recapitulate the confirmed departures<\/strong>which you all must have vivid memories of. The first to leave the club after the end of last season was the experienced Italian midfielder Jorginho<\/strong>, who is a free agent heading to Flamengo in Brazil. He followed in his footsteps Thomas Partey<\/strong>, who is out of contract and has not agreed an extension with Arsenal. The Ghanaian international is currently without a contract. Surprisingly enough, at least to me, the injured defensive all-rounder has left the club Takehiro Tomiyasu<\/a><\/strong>. The Japanese defender agreed to an early termination of his contract due to recurring health problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of speculation, no players are close to leaving the North London club at the moment. In the last few days, he has been most closely linked with leaving Arsenal Leandro Trossard<\/a><\/strong>, who is reportedly interested in Turkish Fenerbahce, but no concrete negotiations between the clubs have taken place so far. Of course, in addition to arrivals, departures are expected<\/strong> and some players are more likely than others, but nothing concrete has been reported. Although I also have my picks for who will leave the club before the end of the transfer window. currently quiet on the Arsenal-bound route<\/strong>. We will see how the situation develops in the coming days or weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
