Arsenal have been actively reinforcing their squad during this transfer window, with the Gunners aiming to ensure they are fully prepared for the challenges of the upcoming season.
The club have shown strong support for Mikel Arteta, providing him with a substantial transfer budget. Andrea Berta is also playing a crucial role behind the scenes, overseeing recruitment and working to ensure that the team remains in top condition. Arsenal’s transfer activity is far from over, with several new additions expected in the coming weeks.
Arsenal Continue Pursuit of Viktor Gyokeres
Viktor Gyokeres remains one of the primary targets for Arsenal. The Swedish striker is expected to be a marquee signing for the Gunners, and efforts are ongoing to bring him to the Emirates Stadium. The club are reportedly in a strong position to secure his services, and his arrival would significantly bolster Arsenal’s attacking options. In addition to Gyokeres, the Gunners have several other transfer targets lined up as they aim to further strengthen the squad.
Several Departures Expected to Fund Further Transfers
In parallel with incoming signings, Arsenal are also planning to offload several players to create room in the squad and raise additional funds. According to Henry Winter, the club are preparing to push through deals for a number of departures in the coming weeks. The players who could potentially leave include Jakub Kiwior, Reiss Nelson, Leandro Trossard, Fabio Vieira and Oleksandr Zinchenko.
These potential exits are viewed as necessary to maintain squad balance. Allowing these players to depart would enable the manager to work more effectively with a focused group and allocate resources towards further reinforcements. While each of these players has contributed to the team in various ways, their departures are not expected to significantly weaken the core of the squad.
With new arrivals on the horizon and several outgoings likely, Arsenal are strategically shaping their squad to compete at the highest level in the new season.

I’m loving it so far, just eze now and I’m happy out, go on the Gunners
I doubt Kiwior will be leaving. He proved to be a worthy stand -in for Gabriel during his long injury lay-off, a roll which Calafiori may not be ready to fit into given his own injury issues.
Otherwise I agree with that list of potential departures with Sambi Lokonga thrown in
A potential £60 – 70m in transfer fees from those sales could help cushion the massive investments on incoming players
I agree 👍 with you, Kiwior should be given time ⌚. He proved trustworthy when given the opportunity and should be allowed to strengthen squad depth. He and Mosquera could form a potential partnership for Cup games at hand 🖐️ in order to rest Saliba and Gabriel…
Both Zinchenko and Vieria cost us about 70m and you think it is ok to get 70m all those players listed above.
Are we coursed not to make profit on the players we bought. With English tax, Nelson should not be sold for not less than 35m if we are pay 52m for Maduake.
Zinchenko is only 28 years old and a better Player than Merino IMO and we got him for 40m so Zinchenko value should be in that region.
We bought Trossard for 27m, it ok to sell him for between 22m to that 27m. Vieira 30m minimum will be good business.
Liverpool sold an academy defender for 25m and Chelsea’s making more than 20m on Maduake so why shouldn’t we. We can’t continue losing money on the players we bring in otherwise we won’t have enough money for buying players
Agreeable! If Mosquera joins OK freeing Kiwior. If no new defender comes, is it good allowing 2 defenders leave in Zinchenko and Kiwior? Or is there a plan to bring in a defender?
We need Mosquera with the exit of Tomiyasu.
He would be cover for Saliba. He is predominantly right-footed.
I think I should say that in my view Mosquera is a “Project”
He is 6ft 2 and not very good in the air.
Jorrel Hato at Ajax is much more ready for prime time.
Just a thought!!
The BEST cover for Saliba is a NEW contract!!!
Lets hope Berta sorts that out sooner rather than later.
Yes, but give him and his team a chance. They have been rather busy and, if Gyokeres arrives as widely reported, pretty successful so far.
There’s a lot to do, selling players as the article says, and, of course, trying to tie down the likes of Saliba to a new contract.
However, that’s out of Berta’s/Arsenal’s hands to an extent because it all depends upon what Saliba really wants to do. He’s been linked with Real Madrid for some time now so getting him to re-sign for Arsenal could be a drawn-out and tricky, process.
It’s difficult to keep Kiwior, a Polish international, happy playing 2nd fiddle. Good for him and the club to release him on condition that we get the younger Mosquera in. The signing of Gyokeres and Eze will make the best summer window for Arsenal for a long time. Can’t wait to see Gyokeres iconic goal celebration in the red and white jersey.
I think kiwor did somuch last ,he surprise me and the whole arsenal team when Gabriel injury ,I think he needs time, alowing him to go that will be a mistake
It’s odd, isn’t it, that most fans are (now) quite rightly praising the efforts of Berta and his team in bringing in players, but there’s pushback from some about selling particular players. “We need to sell, but not him, or him”.
The bottom line – in every sense of the phrase – is that Arsenal cannot bring in players at great cost (fees + wages) and take a relaxed view about selling.
Although it’s unlikely they’ll get big amounts for most of the likely candidates, it will free up much needed room in the overall wage bill – as, generally speaking, the incoming players will probably be on bigger salaries than most of the potential levers.
Let’s face it though, if we’re honest the one obvious candidate for the exit door, particularly with the likely arrival of Gyokeres now, is Jesus. £14m a season for virtually nothing by way of goals (even when he’s fit). It won’t happen – it’s that pesky £14m again – but it should.
The only one of the 5 I would be sad to see go would be Kiwior to be honest.
