Arsenal ‘agree’ personal terms with £50m-rated striker as defender ‘demands’ Gunners exit

Arsenal will already be in summer mode after a much-improved campaign.

Mikel Arteta’s men fell just short of the Champions League places, but they have secured a return to Europe, finishing fifth and qualifying for the Europa League.

Arsenal will be hoping to go one better next season, while also putting together a solid run in the Europa League.

But to do that, they will need to add new faces, coming off a season when they didn’t have to worry about European football and its demands.

With that in mind, we have rounded up all the latest transfer rumours:

Jesus agreement

Arsenal are said to have ‘agreed’ personal terms with Manchester City star Gabriel Jesus.

The Gunners have been heavily linked with Jesus, who is about to be displaced by Erling Haaland at Manchester City.

According to Football Insider, the Gunners are now closing in on the striker, now just needing to agree a fee with City amid a reported £50million valuation.

Saliba speaks

William Saliba has confirmed he is staying with Arsenal for the time being amid links with Newcastle United.

“I belong to Arsenal, I still have two years left,” he told Telefoot.

“I will be back with Arsenal. I have played zero matches and I still want to show them my true face and have the chance to play for these fans and this great club.

“It doesn’t just depend on me. In any case, to leave like this, would be a shame.”

Bellerin latest

Hector Bellerin is said to be planning to leave Arsenal this summer.

The full-back spent this season on loan at Real Betis, impressing by helping them to win the Copa del Rey this season, and they also secured a fifth-place finish.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Bellerin has ‘no plans to stay’ at Arsenal, and he wants a Real Betis stay, though any possible deal is said to be ‘complicated’ due to finances.
