Arsenal is close to the announcement of their seventh major signing of the summer transfer window prior to their Premier League match against Leeds this weekend, with more deals
Arsenal -Gastheer Leeds in the Premier League on Saturday evening, but still have one eye on the summer transfer window.
The Gunners have already spent more than £ 200 million to sign Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke, Crithian Mosquara, Christian Norgaard and Kepa Arrizabalaga and have now continued to increase their expenses even further.
Ebereechi Eze will soon become an Arsenal player after the club has provided £ 60 million plus £ 7.5 million in add-ons to hijack the Tottenham movement for the midfielder of Crystal Palace. Eze was from Palace's Conference League play-off against Fredrikstad for his medical with the Gunners on Thursday evening.
His arrival has increased the importance of exits before the window closes for business on 1 September. Sports director Andrea Berta has enjoyed a successful window in terms of incoming players, but has so far difficult to shift unwanted players. Here are the latest stories about the Gunners and transfers.
Kiwior in Exit interviews
Jakub Kiwior is tired not to play at Arsenal and wants to become a member of Porto, according to O Jogo.
Kiwior did not make the Gunners' squad for the Manchester United game and wants to leave. Porto is in 'informal conversations' with Arsenal about a deal for the Poland defender, with a loan agreement with an obligation to buy on the table.
The arrival of Mosquera from Valencia this summer has pushed Kiwior into the pecking order and Arsenal will therefore let him leave for the right price. The 25-year-old entered the club from Spezia in 2023 for about £ 20 million in January 2023 and made 68 performances for Arsenal, despite the fact that he never nailed a place in the side of Mikel Arteta.
Deadline missed
Arsenal moved very quickly this week to secure Eze after the injury to Kai Havertz. Berta and vice-chairman Tim Lewis were credited with the work to land the 27-year-old after Spurs had spent weeks in conversations.
Things moved quickly this week, but not fast enough to involve Eze to be involved against Leeds on Saturday evening at 5.30 pm. The deal had to be completed on Friday at noon and ratified by the Premier League to make that happen.
He could still be announced before the game at the Emirates, but the English international will not make his debut this weekend. Instead, that could be in Anfield against Liverpool next Sunday.
Hein comes close
Karl Hein will become a member of Werder Bremen in the coming days. The German side would like to sign the Arsenal-Franzer player as their second choice stopper and the Gunners would like to leave him.
If they have to settle for a loan, Arsenal wants to include an obligation to buy. Hein is part of their efforts to discharge unwanted players who still have a lot of work.
Fabio Vieira, Albert Sambi Lonkonga, Reiss Nelson and Oleksandr Zinchenko still stay at the club while the transfer window reaches its conclusion.
