Viktor Gyokeres (Sporting CP)
Summer 2025
Arsenal have been told they can sign Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres for £60m. Sporting are open to selling but want a deal completed early in the window.
Gyokeres has scored 38 goals and added 7 assists this season, prompting Arsenal to make him their top target. He would demand over £200k-a-week, placing him among the club’s highest earners.
William Saliba (Arsenal)
May 2025
Arsenal are preparing to open contract talks with William Saliba in a bid to block Real Madrid’s growing interest. The Spanish giants reportedly view the 24-year-old as their top centre-back target this summer.
Although Saliba is under contract until 2027, Arsenal are eager to secure his future with a long-term extension amid interest from Madrid, who are prioritising a defensive signing.
Dean Huijsen (Bournemouth)
Summer 2025
Arsenal and Liverpool are front-runners to sign Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen, whose £50m release clause can be paid in three instalments. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich remain interested but face budget constraints.
Bayern will prioritize signing Jonathan Tah on a free transfer, possibly ruling them out of the race. A decision on Huijsen’s future is expected soon.
Leandro Trossard (Arsenal)
Ongoing (May 2025)
Arsenal have begun negotiations with Trossard over a new deal that would run until 2029, despite having a one-year extension clause in his current contract, which expires in 2026.
The Belgian winger, who has made 27 Premier League starts this season, has impressed since joining from Brighton and is seen as a key rotation option in Mikel Arteta’s squad.
Leroy Sané (Bayern Munich)
Ongoing negotiations
Sané is open to extending his deal at Bayern, but his camp has countered the club’s pay-cut proposal with a €12m salary request.
Bayern had offered €10m; Sané’s team now awaits a response to the improved terms, as Arsenal monitor the situation.
Arsenal vs Paris Saint-Germain
May 2025
Arsenal were knocked out of the Champions League semifinals after a 2-1 second-leg loss to PSG, ending 3-1 on aggregate. Despite early dominance and several chances, the Gunners were undone by goals from Fabián Ruiz and Achraf Hakimi. Bukayo Saka’s goal was a mere consolation.
Mikel Arteta insisted Arsenal were the better team over 160 minutes, saying Donnarumma was the deciding factor. Luis Enrique disagreed, emphasizing PSG’s clinical edge. Declan Rice admitted early missed chances and defensive errors cost Arsenal dearly.
Lee Kang-In (Paris Saint-Germain)
May 2025
Arsenal are monitoring PSG’s Lee Kang-In, who could be available for around €20m due to limited playing time. The 24-year-old South Korean is admired by Gunners sporting director Andrea Berta, who tried to sign him in 2023.
Arsenal are expected to evaluate the winger during their Champions League semifinal tie with PSG. His potential affordability and versatility have boosted internal interest.
Jorginho (Arsenal > Flamengo)
Summer 2025

The deal will be formalized once his current terms at Arsenal end. Jorginho has made 26 appearances for the Gunners this season and remains active with Italy.
William Saliba (Arsenal)
Summer 2025
Real Madrid have held talks for weeks with Saliba’s camp, making him their top transfer priority after Champions League elimination by Arsenal.
