Personal terms have already been agreed & if all goes to plan, Arsenal are prepared to exchange documents with Real Sociedad by the end of the week once they have agreed on a payment structure & finalised add-ons included within a potential agreement. [@RyanTaylorSport] #afc

Eddie Nketiah is close to joining Marseille, after the club made an improved offer to Arsenal worth £26m, which includes £3m in add-ons, while the player has been offered ‘huge wages’. The transfer is described as ‘imminent’ by TEAMtalk sources. [@FrazFletcher] #afc

Arsenal’s work in the transfer market is by no means over, even if they land Mikel Merino. Arteta & Edu still remain open to strengthening in attack & a wide player remains of great appeal, though any deal could be dependent on the future of Reiss Nelson. [@RyanTaylorSport]

Mikel Merino is understood to be excited by the prospect of joining Arsenal, following private discussions with Mikel Arteta in which the manager presented a detailed plan to the player about where he fits into his vision & tactical set-up. [@RyanTaylorSport] #afc

Eddie Nketiah and Olympique Marseille have reached an agreement on personal terms. [@FabrizioRomano]

Mikel Arteta on Havertz: “It was good to see him score a goal. I think, again, he’s had only four training sessions & he then has to play in these conditions, but he’s come again in good shape. He prepared himself before he joined us & he looks good.” #afc

Mikel Arteta on Calafiori’s absence: “We had to manage him. He had a very busy 48 hours before he took his flight & joined us here & then it was the jetlag, it’s a lot of things.”

“He hasn’t trained with the team yet & we want to build him up slowly to get to know him first. We’ll have plenty of time to see him.” #afc

Nie śmieje się z kontuzji, tylko z lekarza którego nam podebrali ;)

Mikel Arteta on the youth players: “I’m really pleased with all of them. Unfortunately, I wanted to give opportunities to all of them, but we didn’t have enough time to do so, but especially the ones that played, I think they performed & responded incredibly well.”

“So that’s something that we take from the tour as well, that we have a lot of talent there that we want to use & they show that they are very much pushing to earn the right to play with us.” #afc

Mecz oglądałem, a raczej słuchałem w trasie, i generalnie 1 połowa ciekawa, 2 nudna, obrona dziś nie zagrała xD no ale najważniejsze, że wracamy bez kontuzji, w Londynie dołączy reszta ekipy, plus nowe nabytki może, no i 2 fajne meczyki w Emirates cup i jedziemy z sezonem. Swoją drogą teraz widziałem, że muły tracą Youro na 3 miesiące, Hojlunda na 6tyg i jeszcze im dziś Rashford się połamał. Nie chcę nic sugerować, ale odkąd zabrali nam głównego lekarza, to jakoś się u nas skończył pogrom kontuzji, a tam zaczął xD albo gość słaby, albo jest teraz naszym kretem xD

Arsenal are closing in on Mikel Merino deal as verbal agreement is now getting closer!

Agreement in place on personal terms as Merino wants the move.

Verbal discussions with Real Sociedad for package in excess of €30m, talks on to get the deal done.

@MatteMoretto

Fulham, Arsenal and Emile Smith-Rowe are reviewing and signing all documents for £27m plus £7m move to be sealed.

Nico Williams is expected to remain with Athletic Bilbao next season. The player had intended to stay to allow him to play European football with his boyhood club. [@polballus, @TheAthleticFC] #afc

@Teamnewsandtix: "Mikel Merino has agreed to join Arsenal. I now expect the timeline to be similar to Calafiori with Merino still being on holiday. We are talking to Sociedad to get the best deal possible. We've a strong relationship with them and it's viewed as easy deal to do by the club." [Patreon via @thebottomcorna]

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang says he has told Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah to join Marseille, with talks ongoing between the two clubs. Aubameyang spent last season at Marseille before moving to Saudi Arabia this summer.

Olympique Marseille keep working on both Eddie Nketiah and Valentin Carboni deals.

Carboni, almost done verbally but still waiting to get all documents approved for Valentin to travel this weekend.

Nketiah said yes to OM project but still no agreement with Arsenal on fee.

Arsenal have reached an agreement on personal terms on a four-year contract with Mikel Merino. The next step will be to find an agreement with Real Sociedad. [@SportsZone__] #afc

Mikel Merino is close to agreeing a move to Arsenal.

Those around Arsenal believe this could well be Nwaneri’s real breakthrough season. He is mature beyond his years and Arteta sees the potential in him. [@IsaanKhan_ via @karthikadhaigal]

@FabrizioRomano: “Atletico Madrid & Barcelona are still thinking of Mikel Merino, but both clubs feel that Merino is giving total priority to Arsenal. Merino is in the list [of targets] for Arsenal, very high on the list.”

“At the moment, there’s been no direct contact with Real Sociedad, no concrete negotiations, but it could happen soon because Arsenal are having a very positive exchange on the player’s side.”

“The player is tempted by the Premier League, tempted by Arsenal & very tempted by Mikel Arteta, who is considered the perfect coach for him by people close to the player.” [YouTube] #afc

Mikel Arteta on what position he wants to strengthen next: “We’ll have to wait & see the movements in the market. We’ve already identified things that we can improve - we have meeting every March or April & if we can, we will try & strengthen the team. I believe we can get better but so far, I am really happy with what we have.” #afc

BREAKING: Arsenal offered Chido Obi Martin £15,000-per-week for his first pro-contract which the 16-year-old rejected, as per @Editor_ANS.

It was one of the biggest pro-deals Arsenal have offered in the club’s history.

Manchester United came in and gladly doubled Arsenal’s wage offer to £30,000-per-week which the 16-year-old accepted.

Arsenal have a wage structure and were never going to get near Manchester United’s offer.

Arsenal have set a £30m asking price for Aaron Ramsdale. As things stand, it is understood that although Nottingham Forest & Southampton are interested, they would NOT be willing to pay £30m. It remains to be seen if Arsenal will end up lowering their demands. [@caughtoffside]

Arsenal are still interested in signing Wolves goalkeeper Dan Bentley, with talks ongoing despite previously seeing two bids rejected. It is felt that both clubs could end up agreeing a fee under £1m for the player. [@caughtoffside] #afc

Czas to zweryfikuje prawdopodobnie dość szybko;)

“Last season, we saw a huge investment in Declan Rice, a huge transfer fee. If a special player came on the market, are Arsenal able to go to that level again this summer?”

Mikel Arteta: “We don’t expect to do anything like that at this moment, that’s the reality.”

Gabriel będzie grał w parze z Saliba, chyba że go sprzedamy:) to że siedział na początku sezonu na ławce nie miało związku z jego umiejętnościami, czy niechęcią Artety, a zwyczajnie z historią transferową, było to już kilkanaście razy wyjaśniane;)

After several weeks of talks, fears that Real Madrid may try gazump the deal for Riccardo Calafiori saw Arsenal accelerate negotiations. Edu & his assistant Jason Ayto struck a deal that could rise to £42m — although the guaranteed fee is considerably less.

Throughout negotiations, they were helped by the fact that Calafiori had made his preference clear to Bologna. Given all that, Arsenal feel they have struck a good deal. The signing fits with Arsenal’s strategy of signing young players who have already amassed considerable experience.

While the price may look steep for a defender who only really began to shine last season, the club believe that - as with their £50m investment in Ben White in 2021 - Calafiori’s value will be proven in the long term. [@gunnerblog] #afc

Mikel Arteta on if he sees Calafiori as a left-back or centre-back: “Both positions, especially the way we want to play & the things we want to evolve in our game model, he’s a player that’s going to fit really well for what we want.” #afc

Arsenal followed Riccardo Calafiori for months, though they are not alone in that. Bayern Munich made enquiries, Real Madrid have been keen admirers, Juventus were in hot pursuit & there was interest among other Premier League clubs.

However, since the end of last season, Arsenal have been Calafiori’s priority. The player wanted to move to London & the Premier League & be part of Arsenal’s exciting young team. Above everything else, he wanted to play for Mikel Arteta. [@gunnerblog] #afc

Arsenal are monitoring Leroy Sané's situation. Mikel Arteta and Sané have a great relationship from their time together in Man City. However, the player's focus is on Bayern. The current tendency is that Sané will stay and extend his contract. [@Plettigoal, @SkySportNews]

Sources close to the situation have informed CaughtOffside that Arsenal remain interested in Fabian Ruiz & he is now understood to be seen as a viable option to strengthen the club’s midfield. [@caughtoffside] #afc
