Arsenal are shaping up for an exciting Premier League opener against Manchester United, with two key transfers reportedly agreed ahead of the new season. Mikel Arteta is keen to have his squad fully reinforced before facing United at Old Trafford in less than four weeks.
So far, Arsenal have already secured the services of Martin Zubimendi, Kepa Arrizabalaga, and Christian Norgaard. In addition, Viktor Gyokeres and Noni Madueke are expected to complete their moves soon, strengthening the Gunners’ attack and midfield options. Eberechi Eze also remains a strong target, with reports suggesting progress in negotiations.
Arteta’s dream XI for the opening fixture could feature new faces like Gyokeres leading the line, supported by Madueke and Bukayo Saka on the flanks. In midfield, Zubimendi and Norgaard could join Declan Rice to provide solidity and creativity, while William Saliba and Gabriel would marshal the defence in front of Aaron Ramsdale.
Before the season kicks off, Arsenal will test their squad with friendlies against AC Milan, Newcastle, and Tottenham in Asia, followed by home matches against Villarreal and Athletic Club. With the new signings bedding in, Arteta hopes to have his strongest side ready to make a statement against Manchester United and kickstart a title challenge.
