Transfer Complete: Arsenal Land £70M Star After Triggering Release Clause
Arsenal have successfully completed the signing of a £70 million-rated star after activating his release clause late last night. The player is set to remain at the Emirates Stadium until 2028, with a medical scheduled for today.
The club confirmed the high-profile transfer early this morning, making a bold statement ahead of the 2025/26 season. While the player’s name has yet to be officially revealed, sources indicate the announcement is expected later today. The four-year contract runs through summer 2028.
According to reports, the deal moved quickly after Arsenal’s sporting director Andrea Berta contacted the player’s camp immediately after triggering the clause.
Medical Today, Presentation Soon
The new arrival is due to undergo his medical in London today. Once complete, the club will finalize official photos and the contract signing. Although personal terms were agreed weeks ago, the formal activation only occurred after final approval from Mikel Arteta and the Arsenal board on Tuesday night.
Arteta’s Key Addition
Speaking at a press briefing this morning, Mikel Arteta spoke enthusiastically about the club’s transfer direction:
“We’ve worked hard to secure this deal. It’s a player we’ve admired for a long time, someone who brings new qualities and elevates our squad. He’s important for both our present and our future.”
Though Arteta didn’t name the player, speculation online suggests he is a versatile forward who can play centrally or on the flanks.
Major Investment in Arsenal’s Future
This deal ranks among Arsenal’s most expensive signings ever, alongside Declan Rice (£105m) and Nicolas Pépé (£72m). Insiders described the move as a turning point in Arsenal’s transfer window, praising Berta’s quick action to beat competitors.
More Signings Expected
The Gunners are reportedly still active in the market, with Arteta hinting at possible additions in defensive midfield and central defense.
