According to rumours in Italy, Arsenal is presently in a “pole position” to recruit Adrien Rabiot, a former Juventus midfielder who is currently available for transfer.

After his contract with the Old Lady expired at the end of June, the France international became a free agent and is now being pursued by a number of big European clubs. Several of these clubs are interested in signing him.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Manchester United has been said to be interested in Rabiot for a number of years, but the Red Devils are currently seen to be in second place behind Arsenal in the competition to acquire his services this summer.

The Italian publication asserts that Mikel Arteta’s team is one of three leading contenders in the fight to get Rabiot. The other two contenders are Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, both of which are competing in the La Liga.

It was “really close” for Mikel Merino.
Arsenal are on the approach of concluding a deal to acquire Mikel Merino, a midfielder currently playing for Real Sociedad.

This is what Fabrizio Romano has stated in an interview with CaughtOffside: “Let me say that Arsenal are really closing in on the deal for Mikel Merino, and let me clarify that the package is going to be somewhere around thirty million euros.”

We will have a better understanding of the details of the deal within the next few days, but the agreement between Arsenal and Real Sociedad is extremely, extremely close to being finalised. There is a progression towards the last stages of everything.”

In his speech, Federico Chiesa
It has been reported by the Italian publication La Stampa (via Tutto Juve) that Arsenal has made contact with Fali Ramadani, who is the agent of Federico Chiesa.

With only one year remaining on his current deal at Juventus, the 26-year-old Italy international has been extensively linked with a summer transfer. His current contract is only one year long.

At the same time as Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, and Manchester United are apparently in discussions with Ramadani, they are also considering the possibility of making a deal for the Juventus winger.

Riccardo Calafiori faces off against Mikel Arteta
When it comes to the signing of Riccardo Calafiori, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta believes that the club “should be really proud” of the decision.

In the beginning of this summer, the 22-year-old player was extensively connected with both Juventus and Chelsea; however, he ultimately decided to join the north London club for a fee of €45 million instead.

During Arsenal’s preseason tour of the United States, Arteta made the following admission: “I spoke to him one or two times, and I knew the other things [teams being interested].”

He was persistent, saying, “Let me know when you’re ready, my bags are ready, and I just want to come to Arsenal.” I wasn’t really sure if we could do it or not, but he was adamant about telling me that we could.

“Those were his words, and when you have that feeling, someone with that willingness to join us and make us better, together with that determination, it’s something really powerful, and as a club, we ought to be really proud of that,” he said.

Personal terms are agreed upon by Eddie Nketiah.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Eddie Nketiah has finally reached an agreement with Marseille over his personal terms in preparation for a possible summer transfer.

Despite the fact that the Ligue 1 club has not yet reached an agreement with Arsenal, negotiations are still taking on as Nketiah moves closer to leaving the Gunners.
