Overview

• Five summer recruits—Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi, Christian Nørgaard, Noni Madueke and Cristhian Mosquera—are already in place at the Emirates Stadium.
• Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyökeres is scheduled to undergo his London medical imminently as Arsenal prepare to confirm him as their sixth signing.
• Arsenal are intensifying efforts to secure England international Eberechi Eze by negotiating around his £68 million release clause.
• Discussions with Crystal Palace aim to reduce Eze’s fee to about £60 million and may involve including Reiss Nelson in the package.
• Although Alexander Isak remains available and affordable, Arsenal have stuck with their commitment to Gyökeres while allocating resources to address wider squad needs.
