Jakub Kiwior (Arsenal)
April 2025
Napoli and Leverkusen are tracking Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior, who hasn’t played since December.

Leroy Sané (Bayern Munich)
April 2025
Arsenal are seriously pursuing a free transfer for Leroy Sané, who is out of contract this summer and yet to receive a renewal from Bayern
Despite his recent form, Bayern have not made a formal offer. Arsenal have initiated concrete talks that could influence Sané’s decision.
Matheus Cunha (Wolverhampton Wanderers)
April 2025
Cunha has emerged as a summer transfer target for Arsenal, Spurs, and Forest following an impressive season at Wolves.
Cunha has contributed 13 goals and 4 assists, drawing interest from Champions League contenders and Premier League rivals alike.
Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
April 2025
Mikel Arteta confirmed that Bukayo Saka is fit to face Fulham after recovering from a hamstring injury that sidelined him since December.
Saka, who suffered a muscle tear in Arsenal’s win over Crystal Palace, returns just in time to boost the squad ahead of a key Premier League fixture and their upcoming Champions League quarterfinal against Real Madrid.
Martín Zubimendi (Real Sociedad)
April 2025 (transfer planned for summer)
Arsenal remain determined to sign Zubimendi for €60m as Mikel Arteta continues his pursuit of the Spain international despite personal terms still pending.
Zubimendi previously rejected Liverpool’s interest to stay at Sociedad, but Arsenal hope Arteta’s presence will finally seal the move this summer.
Hugo Larsson (Eintracht Frankfurt)
March 2025
Manchester City have initiated talks to sign Frankfurt’s 20-year-old midfielder Hugo Larsson, but face stiff competition from Arsenal and Liverpool.
Frankfurt are demanding €60m for Larsson, who has impressed in his debut Bundesliga season. City already completed a January deal with Frankfurt for Omar Marmoush and may return for Larsson in the summer.
Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig)
March 2025
Arsenal are leading the race to sign Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, who prefers a Premier League move amid strong interest from several top European clubs.
With a €70m release clause, Sesko’s preference for Champions League football puts Arsenal ahead, especially as Man United may miss out on qualification unless they win the Europa League.
