Arsenal Linked With Alvarez Push as Havertz and Jesus Sales Float

Julian Alvarez
April 2026

Arsenal are being linked with a major summer move for Julian Alvarez, with some transfer reports claiming Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus could be sacrificed to help fund it. This is still speculative and not backed by any confirmed club statement. Arsenal want a top-level striker and may need to cut wages and raise funds to make a serious bid for Alvarez. There is no sign yet that Atletico Madrid are negotiating, so this should be treated as early transfer noise rather than an advanced deal.

April 2026

Mikel Arteta praised Arsenal’s 1-0 first-leg win at Sporting as a difficult and valuable result, highlighting the challenge of beating a team with such a strong home record. He also singled out David Raya after the goalkeeper’s crucial saves helped preserve the advantage. Kai Havertz scored the late winner after coming off the bench, while Raya produced key saves and earned Player of the Match. Arsenal also had a goal ruled out and needed patience before finding the breakthrough, which matched Arteta’s post-match focus on fine margins in the penalty areas.

KMI Panel Flags Wrong Calls in Arsenal and Chelsea Matches

PGMOL
March 2026

The Premier League’s Key Match Incidents panel found that Arsenal should have had a penalty against Everton and Newcastle should have had one against Chelsea. The review added to scrutiny around officiating consistency, even though VAR was judged to have followed the current intervention threshold. The panel said Michael Keane fouled Kai Havertz in Arsenal’s game with Everton, while Reece James pulled Malick Thiaw in Chelsea’s match with Newcastle. A separate second-yellow error involving Leeds and Crystal Palace was also highlighted, though that type of decision still falls outside VAR review under current rules

Merson tore into Chelsea’s display after they lost 1-0 at the Emirates and went out 4-2 on aggregate, saying they “never had a go” and exited “with a whimper.” Havertz scored late to settle the tie. Chelsea created little, tested Kepa rarely, and posted modest chance creation (0.68 xG cited). Merson argued they should have taken risks to chase the final rather than drifting through the game.

November 2025

Kai Havertz has suffered a minor relapse in his recovery from knee surgery after injuring himself in training following Arsenal’s season opener against Manchester United, extending a stop start year that already included a hamstring layoff and keeping his return date uncertain for club and country.

Arsenal
November 2025

Arsenal are prepared to consider offers for Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus, Ethan Nwaneri and Ben White as they look to balance accounts and manage squad size after major outlay on Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke and Martin Zubimendi helped power them to the top of the Premier League. Martinelli has lost his starting role to Leandro Trossard and may attract Saudi bids, while Jesus is recovering from an ACL injury and has slipped behind Kai Havertz and Gyokeres in the pecking order. Nwaneri could leave on loan for regular minutes and the club are open to serious proposals for White.
