Overview

• Fulham have approached Arsenal with a potential £15 million bid for Oleksandr Zinchenko, who has one year remaining on his contract.
• Reiss Nelson is in advanced talks for a permanent transfer after his 2024/25 loan at Craven Cottage was curtailed by a hamstring injury.
• A successful double deal could yield about £30 million in fees to support Arsenal’s recruitment drive.
• The departures would reduce Arsenal’s wage outlay by over £200,000 per week, helping to meet Financial Fair Play requirements.
• Arsenal’s near-£200 million summer spending spree has heightened the urgency to offload fringe players before the new season.
