Arsenal transfer news: Noni Madueke targeted as Rodrygo price tag revealed

Arsenal are set for a huge summer in the transfer market, with Mikel Arteta keen to strengthen his squad and guide the Gunners to their first Premier League title since 2004

Arsenal have made just the one signing so far this summer, but plenty more new faces are expected before the window slams shut. Kepa Arrizabalaga has joined from Chelsea in a cut-price deal to act as backup to David Raya and reinforcements are being targeted all over the pitch.

Nuno Tavares and Marquinhos have completed permanent exits after spending last season out on loan, while several players have been released. That includes defender Takehiro Tomiyasu, with the Gunners reaching an agreement to terminate his contract 12 months early.

Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard have also been linked with exits, but it has been reported that Arsenal do not want to sell either player and are even in talks with Trossard over a contract extension.

Here, Mirror Football takes a look at all the latest transfer news and rumours from in an around the Emirates…

Arsenal eye Madueke

Arsenal are reportedly considering a move for Chelsea winger Noni Madueke and Blues boss Enzo Maresca has spoken out about the England international’s future.

“Noni has been very important for us during this season,” Maresca said after Chelsea’s Club World Cup quarter-final win over Palmeiras. “Today, again, he has been important. But my message to the players and to the club is that I want just players that are happy to be with us.

“The ones that are not happy, they are free to go. It’s not for Noni, it’s for all the players we have. But again, Noni has been very good during the season and very good tonight.”

Rodrygo price tag

Mirror Football understands that Arsenal will have to pay more than £70million to sign Real Madrid winger Rodrygo this summer.

Rodrygo has been a bit part player for Real Madrid at the Club World Cup so far and could be sacrificed as Xabi Alonso looks to strengthen his attack. However, Arsenal could face stiff competition with both Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain interested in the 24-year-old.

Gyokeres latest

According to a report from Portuguese outlet Record, Viktor Gyokeres has rejected huge offers from two Saudi Arabian clubs as he is keen on a move to Arsenal.

The Gunners are looking to sign a prolific goalscorer this summer and are working on deals for both Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko, with conflicting reports over which striker is their preferred option.

Al-Hilal and Al-Qadsiyah, meanwhile, are said to have offered Gyokeres lucrative deals worth around £11m-a-year. However, Gyokeres has turned them down as he wants to join the Gunners.
