DONE DEAL: Viktor Gyokeres’ conditions were agreed upon, Calafiori completed his deal, and Arteta confronts a selection problem because the Premier League trophy will return home this season.

Arsenal aims to bolster their roster during the next month before the transfer window ends.

Arsenal have officially announced the acquisition of Italian player Riccardo Calafiori, marking a significant addition to their team. However, their efforts in the transfer market are not yet complete. Mikel Arteta will get his first outfield player of the summer with the £40 million deal.

Arsenal have successfully transformed David Raya’s loan agreement into a permanent contract and have also acquired the talented young Ajax custodian, Tommy Setford. Edu is currently actively seeking to recruit a midfielder and forward to enhance the squad in north London.

Emile Smith Rowe is anticipated to leave shortly, while Jakub Kiwior’s future is uncertain after Calafiori’s arrival. Therefore, we may expect a hectic few weeks ahead. Mirror Football examines the most recent transfer updates concerning the Emirates.

Modification of a clause
Arsenal’s potential acquisition of Sporting CP forward Viktor Gyokeres may be facilitated by the Portuguese club’s apparent preparations for his exit. The Swedish striker transferred to the team from Coventry City a year ago and had a great first season, scoring an impressive 43 goals.

It is reported that Coventry included a 15 percent sell-on clause in the agreement they struck in 2023, following their previous earnings of £20 million from the player. If Sporting activates the £86m release clause, the Sky Blues would get a substantial amount of money.

Sporting have activated an agreement to pay a fee in order to decrease that percentage, according to the record report. The Lisbon-based team is required to pay 10 percent instead.

The Calafiori deal has been officially verified.
Arteta praised the recent acquisition of Calafiori, stating that he will have an immediate impact in helping the team secure titles. The transfer of the Italian national player was officially announced on Monday evening, and he has now joined his new teammates on the tour of America.

“We extend a warm welcome to Riccardo and his family as they join Arsenal.” “He is an excellent acquisition and provides us with significant fortification to bolster our defence,” Arteta stated.

“Riccardo possesses a formidable personality and distinctive qualities that will enhance our team’s capabilities as we strive to secure significant championships.” His performances for both Bologna and Italy in recent seasons have demonstrated significant development, with particularly excellent progression and development in the past year.
