Arsenal Close to Multiple Transfer Breakthroughs as Talks Intensify in London

Arsenal are moving fast in the transfer market, with advanced negotiations in London set to finalise several major deals, including Viktor Gyökeres and Eberechi Eze. The club is on the verge of bolstering their squad further as pre-season steps up.

TALKS HEAT UP OVER GYOKERES AND EZE

All parties involved in the transfer for Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres have gathered in London to seek final approval for his move to Arsenal. The Swedish striker’s signing is regarded as a top priority, and an agreement is already in place, with only final details left to complete the transfer. Arsenal is set to sign Gyökeres for around €63.5 million, plus €10 million in add-ons.

According to a previous report, Sporting CP agreed to sell Viktor Gyökeres to Arsenal for €63.5 million plus €10 million in add-ons.

Simultaneously, negotiations for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze are advancing quickly. Eze is open to the move, and Arsenal are discussing a swap deal to reduce his £68 million release clause, potentially involving players such as Fabio Vieira or Reiss Nelson. Eze scored 12 goals and had 5 assists for Crystal Palace last season, contributing significantly to their FA Cup victory.

TRANSFER ACTIVITY AND CLUB PERFORMANCE

This week could mark Arsenal’s sixth and seventh summer signings, highlighting their active approach after a quiet start to the window. Last season, Arsenal finished second in the Premier League with 70 points, just behind champions Liverpool. They maintained a strong attack and look to add more firepower, especially with Gyökeres, who scored 54 goals in 52 matches for Sporting last season.

Eze’s flair and ability to change games would provide another dimension to Mikel Arteta’s midfield. In related business, striker Hugo Ekitike has reached a deal with Newcastle, and defender Cristhian Mosquera is set for a medical, further underlining Arsenal’s squad refresh. Arsenal is also expected to pay an initial €15 million for Cristhian Mosquera.

WHAT’S AHEAD FOR ARSENAL AND THEIR RIVALS

With the Premier League kicking off in less than a month, Arsenal are preparing to face Manchester United on the opening weekend. United finished fifteenth last season and will bring an energetic style to the Emirates as they try to qualify for European football as soon as possible. Should Arsenal complete deals for Gyökeres and Eze, they will aim to go one better and dethrone Liverpool while staying ahead of Manchester City.

Crystal Palace, who finished 12th in the Premier League last season, will hope to reinvest and replace Eze’s creativity. Meanwhile, Newcastle, after agreeing a fee for Ekitike, look to rebuild following a fifth-place finish and will open their campaign against Aston Villa, another top-half side from last year.
