Arsenal transfer news and rumours
Updated: August 12th 2024
Arsenal kicked off their summer transfer window by making David Raya's loan move from Brentford a permanent one. The Gunners have forked out £27million for the Spanish goalkeeper, who won the Premier League Golden Glove last season.
The Gunners followed that up with a move for Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori, meaning Arsenal have more defensive reinforcements for another gruelling season ahead.
Mikel Merino could be the next in, with the Real Sociedad midfielder a top target for Arteta. The Spain man, 28, is said to be keen on heading to north London.
Arsenal have also shifted some deadwood at the Emirates, with Emile Smith Rowe joining Fulham in a £27million deal, while Albert Sambi Lokonga and Nuno Tavares have been loaned out.
Eddie Nketiah is another likely departure, with Marseille and Bournemouth eyeing the striker. The French side have been trying to agree a deal with Arsenal all summer, while the Cherries see Nketiah as a replacement for Dominic Solanke, who joined Tottenham.
