Arsenal Secure Key Transfer Targets in Busy Summer Window
Arsenal’s summer rebuild is gaining serious momentum, with multiple deals now close to completion. The Gunners have reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Valencia for promising centre-back Cristhian Mosquera, according to Fabrizio Romano. The deal could be finalized later this week, with a medical already in the works. Meanwhile, Viktor Gyökeres is expected to undergo his medical soon, and rising talent Ethan Nwaneri is on the brink of committing his future to the club.
Mosquera Deal Nearing Completion
After a slow start to the summer transfer window, Arsenal appear to have found their stride. Romano confirmed that a verbal agreement is in place between Arsenal and Valencia for 21-year-old defender Cristhian Mosquera. The deal is expected to be worth around €15 million plus add-ons, keeping the total cost under €20 million.
Mosquera has reportedly agreed to personal terms and is keen on joining the North London side. The young Spanish defender is seen as crucial cover for William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães, especially with Jakub Kiwior potentially leaving for Serie A. If all goes smoothly, Mosquera will undergo his medical later this week.
Gyökeres Closing in on Big-Money Move
Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres is another major target Arsenal are close to landing. The Swedish forward’s agents have already arrived in London to finalize details of the move, and Romano states that a medical is imminent.
The deal is reportedly valued at €63.5 million with an additional €10 million in potential bonuses. With final terms being ironed out and commission issues nearly resolved, Arsenal hope to announce the signing soon. Gyökeres is expected to be a significant addition to bolster Mikel Arteta’s attacking options for the upcoming campaign.
Ethan Nwaneri Set to Sign New Contract
In addition to their incoming transfers, Arsenal are working to secure the future of one of their brightest academy stars. Ethan Nwaneri, who has long been considered one of England’s top teenage prospects, is close to agreeing to a new long-term deal with the Gunners.
Romano reported that positive progress was made over the weekend, and Arsenal are optimistic about finalizing the extension within days. Keeping Nwaneri represents another important step in maintaining the club’s long-term vision of blending young talent with elite signings.
Busy Window Marks Shift in Arsenal’s Ambitions
Arsenal fans were left anxious at the start of the window, especially after title rivals Liverpool moved swiftly with marquee signings like Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong. However, the Gunners have responded with intent.
Having already brought in Martin Zubimendi, Kepa Arrizabalaga, and Christian Nørgaard, Arsenal’s pursuit of Mosquera and Gyökeres signals a clear ambition to build a squad capable of challenging for major honors next season.
With a few more additions expected — including an attacking midfielder still on their radar — Arsenal’s summer window may not be finished just yet.
