Arsenal’s Aggressive Transfer Window

The Gunners have already secured three new players ahead of preseason, including Kepa Arrizabalaga, who will serve as a backup to David Raya. Additionally, Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard are set to replace former midfielders Jorginho and Thomas Partey.

James Benge reported that Arsenal is also finalizing a deal for Viktor Gyokeres, while deals for Cristhian Mosquera and Noni Madueke are expected soon.

Arsenal’s transfer activity is attributed to their new sporting director Andrea Berta, who joined from Atletico Madrid. His data-driven approach aims to enhance the squad significantly.
