Keep up with all the latest Arsenal transfer news and rumours, including updates on Nico Williams, Viktor Gyokeres and Brahim Diaz.
The summer transfer window is back open again, and Arsenal are closing in on making some big signings for the side.
While Martin Zubimendi and Kepa Arrizabalaga are expected to make the move, the efforts to sign a striker and a winger intensify.
It’s clear that exits also need to be negotiated, with some stars being rumoured with possible moves in the weeks ahead.
So, with that said, here’s a look at the latest Arsenal transfer news and rumours.
Nico Williams picks transfer preference
Arsenal have made Nico Williams one of their top targets for the summer transfer window, but face competition for the winger’s signature.
Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Chelsea have all been cited with interest in the Spaniard, who has a release clause in his deal.
According to Florian Plettenberg, Barcelona are the team currently leading the race to land Williams.
It’s stated that Barca chief Joan Laporta will now assess if it’s possible to land Williams, due to their financial position.
That could force Arsenal to look at alternatives in the market instead.
Juventus ready to match Viktor Gyokeres wage demands
Arsenal face a new competitor in the race to sign Viktor Gyokeres this summer as Juventus look to muscle their way into the deal.
According to Corriere dello Sport, the Bianconeri have already offered to match the personal terms that the Swedish international wants.
That figure is believed to be standing at £11 million-per-year, which will then become a formal offer in the coming days.
That could force Arsenal to make their choice of striker quickly in the market.
Brahim Diaz contract update
Arsenal have previously been linked with a move for Real Madrid ace Brahim Diaz, following a campaign of few opportunities.
However, according to Fabrizio Romano, the Moroccan international has accepted the terms of a new contract with Los Blancos.
It will seemingly put an end to any faint links that remain between Arsenal and their interest in Diaz, as the Gunners continue their search for another forward option.
