I only have one request for @m8arteta and Arsenal’s transfer king Andrea Berta this window: be utterly ruthless.
We’re Champions of the most competitive league in the world, so let’s act like it and sign absolute world-beaters.
Arsenal have internally discussed the signing of Vini Jnr for some time now. The feasibility is there to do a deal. Some highly influential people are involved in the matter. Very very early days but Arsenal are very serious if given the chance to sign him.

- Arsenal maintain strong interest in Konsa. Lacroix interest cooled a while back after I reported it.
- The club also held interest in Jacobo Ramon but Como have no intention to sell given their UCL exploits
- Newcastle remain firm on their valuation of Bruno (80-85m minimum)
- Martinelli is for sale.
- Arsenal were told 80-100m gets it done for Morgan during May-June time. This was relayed to Berta via agents. Anderson deal changed Villa’s valuation completely. Thereafter, Arsenal verbally offered 80m. They were willing to go to 100m max but the valuation had changed because the Anderson and Tonali deals had dictated the market by this point. Morgan and his family were fully set on Arsenal. Face to face meeting with Mikel now reported via major journalists too.
Arsenal and Aston Villa are engaging in club to club talks for the transfer of Morgan Rogers. Senior members from both clubs are in direct contact. Personal terms are no issue.
🚨 Arsenal reach agreement with Club Brugge to sign Christos Tzolis. Deal for 24yo left winger done at €40m asking price set by #ClubBrugge. Move in process of being finalised - Greece international wanted & prioritised #AFC move throughout @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/iYMBAjVc3k
My understanding is that Emerson Nwaneri, the younger brother of Ethan, has committed his future to Arsenal. He has agreed a scholarship contract and a professional deal that kicks in at the age of 17. Encouraging news for #AFC as there was strong interest from elsewhere.
