The Gunners were anticipated to initiate their robust defense of the Premier League title this summer and to welcome several high-profile players to the Emirates Stadium.
In May, after the defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final, the Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, expressed his desire to reach ‘another level’.
Despite the intention to significantly strengthen the squad, they have only been able to sign Piero Hincapie permanently and also brought in Illan Meslier, and finalize a deal for Christos Tzolis.
However, this week might end with the Gunners bringing in the likes of:
Bruno Guimaraes
According to football.london, Arsenal are keen on acquiring Bruno Guimaraes, whose contract at St. James’ Park runs until June 2028. The 28-year-old midfielder has communicated his desire to leave Newcastle United, with the Emirates Stadium being his preferred destination.
Vinicius Jr
football.london also reported that Arsenal are looking at the possibility of signing Vinicius Jr from Real Madrid. Los Blancos are reluctant to part with the 26-year-old winger, whose contract at the Santiago Bernabeu expires next year.
Bradley Barcola
The Football site also reported that Arsenal are also interested in signing Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain. It is said that Arteta wants to bolster his frontline this summer, so the 23-year-old winger, who has just two years left on his deal in the French capital, has been mooted as a potential option.
Ezri Konsa
Ezri Konsa, according to football.london, is appreciated by higher-ups at the Emirates Stadium. Aston Villa are thought to want at least £50m for the 28-year-old defender, which is far from the valuation in north London.
John Stones
The England international has been heavily linked with a move to several Premier League clubs following his departure from Manchester City at the end of last season.
The 32-year-old defender, who is available to sign on a free transfer, caught the eye for England at the World Cup, proving that he’s still more than capable of performing at the very highest level when fit.
