Arsenal want to make Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze their seventh signing of the summer transfer window, having already spent £195million ahead of the 2025-26 season
Eight days to go, one pre-season friendly left. The new Premier League season is almost here for Arsenal and Mikel Arteta.
Next Sunday, the Gunners will walk out at Old Trafford to face Manchester United and begin a campaign which could define an era. Arteta's project has seen progress but no trophies and their £195million worth of new signings have been brought in to change that.
Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi, Christian Norgaard, Noni Madueke, Cristhian Mosquera and Viktor Gyokeres have already given Arteta's squad a fresh look. But the Gunners aren't done there, as new sporting director Andrea Berta works hard to get players both in and out.
Arsenal's priority after finally landing Gyokeres for £63.7m is Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze and there's been speculation over his involvement in the Community Shield on Sunday. They've also got Real Madrid's Rodrygo on their radar.
Here's a round-up of the latest transfer news from the Emirates.
Palace boss makes statement on Eze
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has confirmed that Eberechi Eze will 'definitely' play in Sunday's Community Shield match against Liverpool. Eze's future is under the microscope amid concrete interest from Arsenal while Tottenham have also been linked with a move after James Maddison suffered an ACL injury.
Glasner was asked during his pre-match press conference whether the 27-year-old would still be a Palace player beyond transfer deadline day, and he was only able to give a guarantee for Sunday. "He will play on Sunday, definitely." the Eagles boss replied.

Arsenal's one condition for signing Rodrygo
Arsenal retain an interest in Real Madrid star Rodrygo - but will only sign him on loan. Rodrygo, 24, doesn't appear to be in new manager Xabi Alonso's plans at the Bernabeu and has been frequently linked with a move away.
The Times report that Arsenal are keeping tabs on the Brazilian's situation but would only consider a loan deal. Rodrygo is under contract until 2028.
Kiwior wants to explore exit options
Jakub Kiwior is interested in leaving Arsenal for a club who'd guarantee him regular game time. Since joining the Gunners from Italian side Spezia in January 2023, Poland international Kiwior largely been a stopgap for his injured team-mates.
The 25-year-old enjoyed a solid run of starts in the spring following Gabriel Magalhaes' season-ending injury and was the subject of interest from Porto, whose £26m bid was rejected by Arsenal. But that might not be the end of interest in Kiwior, as the Athletic report that he's keen to explore opportunities with clubs where he'd be considered a first-choice player.

Even if arsenal sign eze and rodrygo, as long as clueless, arrogant, rigid, stubborn and inexperienced arteta remains our coach, arsenal will still not any trophy. The problem arsenal has not the players and the board but arteta himself. We can NEVER WIN ANY TROPHY WITH THIS ARTETA anymore. The earlier he gets sacked the better it will be for arsenal
please tell your father to come win us a trophy

He doesn't want to leave RM. So, Arsenal should not pursue him. Because it doesn't matter how good a player is, if he is not happy then will not perform.
Technically real Madrid does not want him too. 😂

Arsenal look good from afar but they are far from looking good.... Useless arteta decisions may cause another no trophy. He was building something good all of sudden you have spoiled everything by letting partey freely leave, if you want better backup keeper do arteta has to spent money on Kepa, incase saka get injured then arsenal hopes of winning trophies become useless. This coach refused to learn after 5 yrs at a club
