Arsenal’s summer transfer activity has accelerated dramatically following a high-profile press conference from Mikel Arteta earlier today — bringing significant updates on both arrivals and departures, unexpected developments, and a major £200M cash injection from owner Stan Kroenke to boost the squad, potentially to replace Gabriel Martinelli.
Rodrygo Negotiations Back On
In a surprising twist, Arteta confirmed that Arsenal has reopened talks with Real Madrid over winger Rodrygo — a potential blockbuster signing for the Premier League.
“We’ve resumed discussions with Rodrygo’s representatives and Madrid. He’s an extraordinary player who could transform our attack,” Arteta revealed.
Despite Madrid previously labeling Rodrygo untouchable, sources suggest the Spanish giants might now consider a substantial offer, particularly as they restructure their squad following Kylian Mbappé’s arrival.
Šeško Transfer Back in Play
Just when it seemed Arsenal was out of the race for Benjamin Šeško, Arteta hinted otherwise.
“I’ll just say — this isn’t finished. Our admiration for Šeško remains strong, and recent developments have changed the situation,” he said.
Insiders report that new complications at RB Leipzig have reopened negotiations, giving Arsenal renewed hope of landing the striker.
Chelsea Propose Lewis-Skelly Swap
Talks with Chelsea have grown tense as the Blues proposed a surprising player swap, reportedly involving either Conor Gallagher or Noni Madueke.
“They’ve requested either Ethan Nwaneri or Myles Lewis-Skelly be included in the deal. We’re evaluating it seriously because our young talents are vital to us,” Arteta stated.
Fans quickly took to social media, urging the club to resist letting go of their promising academy stars
