The Gunners couldn't keep pace with Liverpool in the title race and suffered Champions League heartbreak after being dumped out in the semi-final by PSG.

Arsenal have improved massively under Arteta but more reinforcements are needed this summer – particularly up top – as they look to end a five-year trophy drought.

The North Londoners will search for the final pieces of the puzzle in the coming months ahead of another challenge for silverware next term.

RadioTimes.com has rounded up the latest Arsenal transfer news, rumours and confirmed deals below.

Arsenal transfer news and rumours

Updated: June 9th 2025

A new striker is a clear priority for Arsenal as they look to solve their issues up top. The Gunners remain in talks with RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko and appear to have opted for him instead of Sporting's Viktor Gyokeres, who could join Man Utd instead.

The North Londoners' long pursuit of Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi is not done quite yet and there are suggestions that Real Madrid will make one final push to hijack the deal for the Spanish international.

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has emerged as a target as Arsenal search for cover and competition for David Raya.

Mikel Arteta may get the chance to add more firepower to his squad in the coming months as Real Madrid winger Rodrygo, Aston Villa attacker Morgan Rogers, and Feyenoord forward Igor Paixao have all been linked.

Highly-rated 15-year-old Max Dowman has turned the heads of Man City and Barcelona, while Myles Lewis-Skelly is expected to sign a new deal amid interest from Real Madrid.

Arsenal have tied centre-back Gabriel Magalhães down to a new deal but Thomas Partey could depart amid reports the out-of-contract midfielder has opened talks with Barcelona.
