With the summer transfer window now open, Arsenal look to be actively pushing forward to sign some of their main targets. The Gunners have been linked to the likes of Youssouf Fofana, Martin Zubimendi, Amadou Onana and Benjamin Sesko, though the latter will not be leaving RB Leipzig this summer.
Strengthening in midfield is clearly a priority for Mikel Arteta and Edu with Thomas Partey expected to depart and Kai Havertz now utilised further forward. Though long-term target Douglas Luiz is seemingly off to Juventus, the Gunners still have plenty of options to bolster their midfield.
AS Monaco’s Fofana is expected to leave France this summer with his contract up in 2025, while Onana could be sold to ease Everton’s PSR worries. As for Zubimendi, links to Arsenal have become scarce with the Spain international appearing happy at Real Sociedad.
Arsenal ‘make contact’ for Onana transfer
On Saturday, Alan Myers of Sky Sports News admitted that a Champions League club had made contact with Everton over a potential Onana transfer.
Later that day, Arsenal were revealed as the club to have made contact with Arteta a long-term admirer of the Belgium international.
Leny Yoro bid rejected
Lille centre-back Leny Yoro is attracting significant interest from the Premier League and across Europe. Liverpool, Manchester United and Real Madrid are the three teams that appear locked in a battle for the 18-year-old, though the latter are favourites for his signature.
With that in mind, the Express have revealed an unnamed Premier League club saw a £42.3million offer rejected for Yoro with his heart set on Madrid.
