Arsenal ‘weighing up’ transfer bid for £69m Serie A midfielder as Gunners ‘agree’ deal for key target

Arsenal have been busy so far this summer as they prepare for another season under Mikel Arteta.

The Gunners’ first game of the 2022/23 Premier League campaign is away to fellow London club Crystal Palace on 5th August.

They are currently away for pre-season in America and take on MLS outfit Orlando City on Thursday.

Here is a look at all the latest news coming out of the club today....

Juventus ace on radar

Arsenal are reportedly considering a swoop for Juventus’ £69m midfielder Arthur.

The Brazil international has been playing in Italy for the past two years after moving from Barcelona in 2020.

The Daily Mail report that the Gunners are ‘weighing’ up a swoop for him this summer.

Left-back deal edges closer

Arteta is apparently hoping to tie up a deal to sign Oleksandr Zinchenko this week.

The Ukraine international is poised to swap Manchester City for the Emirates Stadium in this transfer window.

Sky Sports claim a fee in the region of £30m has been agreed between the two clubs and the move could be rubber-stamped ‘early this week’, with agreeing personal terms not expected to be a problem.

Departure on the cards

Ryan Alebiosu is closing in on a loan switch to Kilmarnock, it has been reported.

The young defender spent time with Crewe Alexandra in League One in the last campaign and is now heading out the exit door for a second stint to get some more experience under his belt.

Football Scotland report that the right-back is ‘on the verge’ of a move to Scotland.
