Arsenal planning late signing before transfer deadline

Arsenal eyeing late summer signing

Arsenal planning late signing before transfer deadline

30 August 2026 - 20:19

Arsenal are planning to make a late signing before the transfer window closes on Tuesday night.

  • Chelsea make Robert Sanchez transfer decision
  • Xabi Alonso breaks silence on Enzo Fernandez


  • The Gunners have recently agreed to sell Gabriel Martinelli to Al-Hilal for £60 million, which is a club-record sale for them.

    His departure is expected to pave the way for another incoming and reports claim that a versatile forward could be pursued.

    Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez is the prime target for the Gunners, but the Argentine has no desire to return to England.

    Hence, the Gunners need to look at alternatives and it remains to be seen whom they pursue before the window closes.

    Lyon's Malick Fofana has been offered to the Gunners in the last 24 hours, but Arsenal have not made an approach so far.

    Everton's Iliman Ndiaye was highlighted as a target for the Gunners, but Tottenham Hotspur are favourites to land him.

    There has been no movement for anyone else, but some activity is expected before the transfer deadline on Tuesday night.
