Just before bedtime news broke that the 25-year-old goal scorer, who bagged 29 goals across all competitions last season, has officially signed a six-year deal with the North London side, keeping him at the Emirates until 2031. Arsenal confirmed the signing across all their official channels earlier today, sending waves of excitement through the fanbase worldwide.
This blockbuster signing is being seen as a major statement from Mikel Arteta and the Arsenal hierarchy, signaling their ambitions to build on recent progress and challenge seriously for both the Premier League and Champions League titles.
The prolific striker, regularly among Europe’s top goal scorers, was on the radar of multiple top clubs, including Bayern Munich, PSG, and Manchester United. But Arsenal moved swiftly and decisively, convincing him with a compelling project, a guaranteed key role in the squad, and an attractive financial offer.
Sources close to the negotiations say Arteta was directly involved, speaking with the player several times to explain his tactical plans and how the forward would be central to Arsenal’s attacking strategy. The player was reportedly drawn to Arsenal’s dynamic playing style, talented young squad, and clear ambition to win major trophies immediately.
The medical was completed earlier this week at London Colney, with the official presentation expected soon, likely during Arsenal’s pre-season media day. Fans are already buzzing about potential shirt numbers, link-ups with Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard, and the overall impact this signing will have on the Gunners’ attacking line.
This transfer sends a loud and clear message to rival clubs: Arsenal are serious contenders. After narrowly missing out on the Premier League title last season, the Gunners are adding world-class firepower — and this striker could be the final piece in Arteta’s master plan.
More behind-the-scenes content, photos, and interviews are expected shortly. Arsenal’s official media channels have promised an in-depth look at how this massive transfer came together.
One thing is certain: the Emirates Stadium is set to erupt when this 29-goal star makes his debut in Arsenal colors.
