Everything happening with the Gunners. We've got some juicy updates for you, especially with the team prepping to take on Man Utd this weekend.
Pre-Season Lowdown
So, Arsenal's pre-season is kicking off, but we're not seeing a lot of new faces yet. David Raya's been the only big deal so far, which isn't surprising since everyone knew he was coming on loan.
Moves In and Out
Riccardo Calafiori is the talk of the town as he jets off to London for his medical. If all goes well, he'll be joining Arsenal soon. Meanwhile, Emile Smith Rowe is just waiting for the green light to come back to England and wrap up a sweet £35 million deal with Fulham.
But hold up, there's a bit of drama with Eddie Nketiah's possible move to Marseille. It seems like the two clubs can't agree on the price tag. If this deal gets sorted, Arsenal might start looking to beef up their midfield.
Important Stuff to Keep an Eye On
Here are some key things to watch for:
- The latest on the Nico Williams situation
- Who's going to be the new striker? Maybe it'll be Victor Osimhen or Viktor Gyokeres
- What's the deal with Reiss Nelson, Aaron Ramsdale, and Jakub Kiwior's futures?
The Merino Gossip
Fabrizio Romano, the transfer whisperer, says Arsenal haven't made a real offer for Mikel Merino yet. They've been busy with Calafiori's deal. But don't worry, they're planning to chat about Merino soon enough.
Dani Olmo Scoop
And now, for the scoop on Dani Olmo. It looks like Barcelona's offer of £35 million in installments, plus £8 million if they win La Liga twice and another £8 million for the Champions League, was a bit too much for Arsenal's taste. Olmo's buyout clause is sitting pretty at £51 million.
