Arsenal are set to break transfer records yet again this summer, with three major signings locked in and a final marquee target—possibly Rodrygo or Eberechi Eze—still in their sights as Mikel Arteta builds a title-hungry squad for the 2025/26 campaign.
With Cristhian Mosquera from Valencia, Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP, and Noni Madueke from Chelsea reportedly completing medicals this week, Arsenal’s summer haul is already one of the most aggressive in Europe. Sources confirm the Gunners have now surpassed the £200 million threshold in transfer spending—a figure that includes the earlier confirmed signings of Christian Norgaard, Martin Zubimendi, and Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Mikel Arteta is believed to be driving the final push for a superstar acquisition that could define the club’s season. According to The Athletic, Real Madrid’s Brazilian winger Rodrygo and Crystal Palace’s dynamic attacker Eberechi Eze are the two most realistic targets, with both players offering the kind of flair and unpredictability Arteta craves in his attack.
The Gunners are expected to sanction several outgoing transfers in the coming days to balance the books and comply with FFP regulations. Among those likely to exit are Reiss Nelson, Eddie Nketiah, and potentially Emile Smith Rowe, as interest from Premier League and Bundesliga clubs intensifies.
Madueke’s switch from Chelsea has sparked particular attention, given his Stamford Bridge exit comes amid squad overhauls led by manager Enzo Maresca. The 23-year-old winger, known for his pace and direct style, is viewed as a natural complement to Bukayo Saka on the opposite flank.
Gyokeres, who scored 36 goals in all competitions last season for Sporting, adds firepower to a front line that struggled with consistency in 2024/25. Mosquera, on the other hand, is a long-term defensive investment who fits into Arsenal’s strategy of building youth depth.
Fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation of the final signing, which could arrive before the Gunners kick off their U.S. pre-season tour. Arteta’s ambition is clear: build a squad not just for domestic dominance—but for Champions League glory.
