Inspired by the frustrating end of the season, Arteta and Edu are two men on a mission.
It is reported that Kai Havertz is set to join on a £65 million deal and his deal is done. The Havertz deal is one of four other deals the Gunners are working on.
Reports suggest they are set to make another headline bid for Rice which will hopefully meet West Ham’s asking price and finally get the deal over the line. After two bids were thwarted, the hope is they’ll be three times lucky. Other than Rice, Jurrien Timber is also being eyed, and with Ajax holding out for their £50 million asking price to let him go, it is believed such a bid is forthcoming from Arsenal. Besides Rice and Timber, the Gunners are working on a deal to sign Southampton’s Romeo Lavia; talks are underway.
If Arteta completes these deals, which may cost the club over £200 million, he may be happy as he gets almost everything he requested on his shopping list His transfer success may mean one thing to his PL opponents: he is hell-bent on winning the league.
With these four signings, Arsenal will have set themselves up for years of dominance. It is clear that Arsenal want to win trophies, and that will soon become a fact if they will if they keep improving their team.”
Arteta got a taste of how it feels to be on top, and I bet he wants to keep feeling that way. Hopefully, after this transfer window, his team gets to do what it didn’t do last season, which is to sustain momentum from start to end of the season and finally end Manchester City’s dominance.
COYG!

With “ifs”, as they say in french, WE may put Paris in a bottel!!!
Or even “in a bottle!”
If we get all of them, our starting line-up at the beginning of next season could be unreal:
…….……….….…… Ramsdale
………. Timber .… Saliba …. Magalhaes
……………….… Rice …….… Lavia
Saka . Odegaard . Zinchenko . Jesus
……………………..…. Havertz
I assume Martinelli is still injured by then, hence Jesus in his position. If Timber comes, White could be assigned to the cup competition
No real striker, I agree it’s unreal but in a bad way
Tuchel used Havertz as a false-nine CF to win UCL. If Arteta can utilize him like that, it would be great
Haverts no need to buy him
Yes, and there will still be good bench. But it would be “unthinkable” for Arsenal and Kroenke to spend over 200m in a transfer market. Except Josh Kroenke borrows a page from for Chelsea owner – Abrahamovic epl winning diary.
Gai, your line up can surely challenge MCity but it remains a dream.😀
I think we’ll lose Rice to Man City. That’s why I call the line-up unreal 😁
Havertz is not a striker and White, who was one of our outstanding players last season, consigned to cup competitions! Really?
I echo your sentiments GB. Some people have weird ideas.
Havertz played there at Chelsea and recently for Germany, so I suspect he’d play that role again at Arsenal
As for White, I don’t think we’ll spend £50m on Timber to see him sit on the bench. Unless White is re-trained to play as Stones did
GAI
We paid £50m for White too if I recall correctly and I’ve been under the impression that we need good players to keep momentum which was a bit lacking last season
Yes, we paid that amount of money for White. But after watching his shortcomings and mistakes in some crucial matches, I think Arteta would like to try a new right CB
The 50m White was still displaced by a 27m French, so he can as well be relagated to the bench if tactics detect so. Same with Ordegaard and Jesus.
Stop underrating White, learn to appreciate players like him
We need more players so that what happened to us last season Will not repeat itself again
A report has referred to it as the fantastic four, their was no space on it for an out and out # 9 on the four man wish list.

One huge concern Declan Rice father has am told, is for his son ending up at Man city and been used like Jack Jack Girlish.
In the three tables above Rice is the main stay, that’s the strongest selling point Arteta has and that matters a great deal to the young Englishman.
So you are content with Zinchenko at LB when he is clearly useless defensively?
Absolutely, positively, definitely not happy with Zinchenko at left back, but he’s the gaffer first choice in that role and he will argue that’s his use of the Ukrainian there, has gotten him the best results, although he continues to expose spaces behind.
We could have one of the best squad in Europe. But my worry is that shall we be able To get Rice in the squad
Hopefully we get Rice, there is a report that he does not wanted to be used like Jack Girlish, where had seen very limited ga.me time
Yes. That would be a huge upgrade but I think other teams could challenge too like United
So we paid 50m for White to sit on the bench but these conditions do not apply to Timber?
Apologies Grandad I hadn’t read your post before adding my two Bob’s worth to GAI
No problem Sue. It’s puzzling that GAI does not recognise that Ben White was one of our top players last season.
I really rated him too
I’m so excited with the prospect of having Romeo Lavia at Arsenal. The boy is going to prosper so well under Mikel, I see him reaching the heights Makelele, Vieira and Scholes.
Pleeeze don’t miss out on the opportunity to sign him.
Yes! Surely if us beloved Arsenal FC is able to get all the in article posting 4 new player signings done this summer. Definitely their will be a new look Gunners tram full of overpowering strength next season. That can overpower all their 5 other big Epl teams, including Newcaste making 6 teams. In uncalled top performance and unsurpassed points gathering in the Efl and 2 domestic Cup competitions in next summer summercampaign next season.
In their quest to win major titles next season,let me urge Arteta, Edu and the Arsenal hierarchy bosses who are concerned with doing Arsenal incoming transfers this summer. To try by all means within third capacity in the arbitits of the clu’s financial strength. And sign those in article 4 top quality mentioned new players this summer unfailingly.

A welcome OPTIMISTIC looking piece. But we badly also need a specilaist proven goal score to play centrally We seem to now have so many interchangeable players and thats fine.
But City have HAALAND,a specialist CENTRAL STRIKER. We need someone who is ALWAYS in the right position to score, as HAALAND always is.
I still maintain afee in excess of£60 plus mills for HAVERTZ is way too high. I would have passed on him and .in fact never shown ANY interest.
I think MA is taking a huge risk, mostly to his reputation, as unless HAVERTZ proves a success, the criticism MA wil get will be enormous. And deserved too,IF that be the case.
For me personally, Jon, it’s a great situation. I like Havertz and happen to think he will be a great success and I don’t like Arteta and almost want it to blow up in his face, so it’s a win-win. But I truly believe this will be a great move for Arsenal and Havertz.
Edu and arteta should have done this before it too late for us this an opportunity for us to win the pl now we know that we have lost the EPL to Man City and now that we have back to the champion league and we have to seal a big deal and sign in the top players for us to win at list the EPL or even we can do much better than man city that win the FA cup and the EPL and even the champion league cup it’s all because they sale players and remain another key players Man City got a first 11 team and second team that can still play better but we sale players and we didn’t have a replacement even if we have an injury I think the injury of William saliba affect arsenal for not win the EPL we have to do something now
Why are we talking about who will be sitting on the bench? We don’t only need to rotate for all the competitions we will compete in, we also need to rotate during EPL games. We need quality, competition and freshness in the team if we are to kick on, or even consolidate. If Xhaka and Partey leave we have to replace them and and still add above what we had last season.
Because Arteta doesn’t rotate and I don’t see him changing that next season. If you aren’t on his favourites list, you can expect to wear a dent in the bench.
Everyone is losing their mind about us ‘missing out’ on Declan Rice. This will be a blessing in disguise, not because he isn’t a good player, but because he is hugely overrated & over priced for what he does & we have alternatives.
Kai Havertz will be a great signing & I will absolutely say ‘I told you so’ when he comes good & is our next RvP but without the off-field issues. Ben White needs to play the RB/DM transition instead of Zinchenko.
Zinchenko needs to play in Xhaka’s role once he has departed, as he is not good enough to play LB. This explains why Pep was happy for him & Jesus to leave; because whilst they’re both good players, they don’t really represent a position.
Jurrien Timber absolutely must join. Firstly, & most importantly, he has an awesome name & gives us an opportunity to sign his name to the Ke$ha song & secondly he is a terrific, young player & can interchange with Tomiyasu for the RCB role.
Let’s get Havertz & Timber & go after Zubimendi. I like the Romeo Lavia kid but I don’t think he’s done enough to warrant the hype around him. No one is mentioning James Ward-Prowse? Homegrown, fantastic distributor, leader.
No latest genuine Arsenal incoming and outgoings transfer news on the net to read about this morning. But the old ones that array recycled.
So therefore, let’s hope when next us read the latest updated Arsenal summer transfer news it’ll be good news that us will be reading..
