Catch all the latest Arsenal transfer news and rumours, including updates on Eberechi Eze, Ethan Nwaneri and Will Wright.
Arsenal’s busy summer transfer window is only getting busier as the side are closing in on a few big deals over the coming days.
The Gunners have plans to strengthen further in the market, with some potential new names in the frame to join the club.
Elsewhere, there could be some sales on the cards as players will have to be moved on to help create some room.
So, with that said, here’s a look at the latest Arsenal transfer news and rumours ahead of another big day of action.
Chelsea hold talks over Eberechi Eze transfer
Arsenal have been showing an interest in Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze this summer, but they could face competition from their rivals, Chelsea.
That’s because, according to Simon Phillips, the Blues have held talks with his agents over the possibility of a move.
Arsenal have already had discussions with Eze, who previously had a stint in the academy, with a view to signing him.
Formal talks are yet to begin with Crystal Palace over a deal, which could open the path for Chelsea to swoop in.
Ethan Nwaneri’s contract agreed in principle
Arsenal youngster Ethan Nwaneri has agreed to a new contract in principle that will see him extend his stay at the club for the future.
That’s according to BBC Sport, with a claim that the Hale End Academy star has agreed a five-year contract with the Gunners.
Nwaneri has garnered interest from the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea, but has seemingly turned down those opportunities to stay with Arsenal.
Arsenal want Salford wonderkid Will Wright
Arsenal’s interest in bolstering their academy ranks this summer has been made clear, as Per Mertesacker is set to be backed with several new additions.
With that in mind, Daily Telegraph reporter Sam Dean claims that the Gunners have registered interest in Salford youngster Will Wright.
The 17-year-old had a breakout campaign last season for the League Two outfit, making his debut for the club.
Wright made four appearances for the Salford senior side, featuring in League Two, the FA Cup and the EFL Trophy, though it is unclear what his stance on a move is.
