Arsenal transfers: Full confirmed list of summer ins and outs

Arsenal are expected to have a very busy summer under Mikel Arteta as the Gunners boss attempts to cut the gap to Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table

Arsenal are hard at work getting a number of signings over the line as the first deadline of the summer comes into view. All Premier League clubs have to abide by two different transfer windows this summer for the first time due to the Club World Cup.

The first is set to close on Tuesday June 10. That gives the Gunners only a limited amount of time to get their first lot of business concluded.

Luckily, a few deals already appear to be in the pipeline. Mikel Arteta’s side are close to signing Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga after deciding to activate a £5m release clause written into his deal at Stamford Bridge.

Once his switch is formalised, he is expected to become back-up to compatriot David Raya at the Emirates Stadium. And Spaniard Kepa could very quickly be followed by another of his international teammates.

Arsenal have been chasing Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi for some time and looked likely to sign him this summer. The North London side were previously the favourites to sign Zubimendi but are now facing late competition from Real Madrid.

It appears likely that any deal for his signature now might have to wait for the summer’s second transfer window that opens on June 16. That later window is set to run all the way up until Monday September 1.

And Arsenal’s business almost certainly won't end there either. Arteta’s side are also interested in adding a much-needed forward to their squad ahead of next season, with a number of options having been identified.

Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig are those who could be signed, with negotiations reportedly ongoing for both. Meanwhile, there’s also new contracts on the agenda, with Gabriel having become the latest to commit his future to the club.

Of course, work remains ongoing for all of those deals but Arsenal have already confirmed a few transfers this summer, namely exits. Jorginho is the most high profile of those, having left at the end of his deal, along with Kieran Tierney. Nuno Tavares also helped boost the coffers, with the forgotten man joining Lazio permanetly after his loan.
