Arsenal are preparing for a significant summer spending spree, signalling strong ambition as Mikel Arteta`s team aims to finally break their over two-decade wait for a Premier League title.
Reports suggest Arsenal are actively pursuing several targets. While not officially confirmed, midfielder Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard are widely reported to be close to joining.
Arsenal are reportedly set to pay around £56 million for Zubimendi, with paperwork finalised. Christian Norgaard is also said to have completed the initial part of his medical examination.
Arsenal`s transfer team seems to be managing multiple negotiations simultaneously. The club is also reportedly targeting two new wingers, with names like Eberechi Eze, Rodrygo, and Noni Madueke linked recently. Potential winger signings might depend on departures, possibly involving Leandro Trossard or Gabriel Martinelli.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal are pursuing deals for Eze and another left-sided player, in addition to their search for a new striker, with Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko among the potential targets.
The club is progressing in discussions for both Sesko and Gyokeres, evaluating which player is the better fit financially and tactically.
However, Valencia defender Cristhian Mosquera is potentially closer to joining than any of the attacking targets.
Decisive Stage Reached in Mosquera Talks
Reports indicate Arsenal have entered the crucial phase of negotiations for Mosquera, with the player already agreeing personal terms for a transfer to the Emirates Stadium.
The young defender`s versatility could see him provide cover, potentially in a role similar to Takehiro Tomiyasu, whose recent injury issues have been a concern for the club.
Arsenal`s initial £12 million bid for Mosquera was rejected, but they are preparing an improved offer that could reach up to £26 million with add-ons.
The player is reportedly eager to join Arsenal and declined a contract extension offer from Valencia. Agreement between the clubs is believed to be nearing completion.
This transfer could be completed shortly. Unless unforeseen issues arise, Mosquera is expected to become Arsenal`s fourth acquisition this transfer window.
Football Talent Scout Jacek Kulig has praised Mosquera as an `elite` young player, highlighting that he played more minutes last season than any other U21 player across Europe`s top five leagues.
