Arsenal Transfer News LIVE: Guirassy RACE, Kimmich INTEREST, midfielder SEDUCTION (2024)

Barcelona have joined the race to sign Amadou Onana from Everton.

The midfielder, who was recently eliminated from Euro 2024 after Belgium's loss to France, is a wanted man this summer as Arsenal and Man Utdhave been linked with his signature, in addition to Barcelona.

Bologna still retain hope of keeping Riccardo Calafiori.

The Italy defender has been strongly linked with Arsenal and Juventus this summer, but a departure isn't inevitable.

"We took him 12 months ago so we'll see what happens in the market but in our heads there is the will to keep him," Bologna technical director Giovanni Sartori said.

"We will try to keep him but if important offers arrive we will have to take them into consideration. I don't think he will go to Juventus, he will probably go to a different market."

Arsenal will soon announce the signing ofCeadach O’Neill from Linfield.

The 16-year-old will join Jack Wilshere's Under-18s side and will sign a three-year professional contract when he turns 17. (Football London)

Arsenal want to sign at least one new defender this summer and have reportedly been offered the opportunity to pursue Barcelona's Jules Kounde.

Barca's economic situation means that they will need to sell players in order to buy more in this transfer window, and Sport reports that they could make as much as€60 million on Kounde.

However, the Frenchman's future will be dependant on the future of Ronald Araujo as the club won't sell both players. (Sport)

It is looking increasingly unlikely that Chelsea or Arsenal will sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle.

The Magpies were previously under pressure to sell players this summer before 30 June to comply with profit and sustainability regulations, but they have recently sold Elliot Anderson to Nottingham Forest and Yankuba Minteh to Brighton for around £65 million. The club are also on the cusp of offloading Miguel Almiron to the Saudi Pro League.

Newcastle are now under no pressure to sell Isak, though Chelsea and Arsenal both baulked at the £115m asking price for the Swedish striker. (Football London)

Manchester City have usurpedArsenal to the signing of exciting youngster Ryan McAidoo, formerly of Chelsea.

McAidoo only made four appearances for Chelsea in the U18 Premier League but opted to not sign at extended deal at Stamford Bridge, opening the door for other clubs to swoop.

Arsenal were the first team to show interest, but it appears Man City have hijacked the deal. (Mirror)

Albert Sambi Lokonga will leave Arsenal for Sevilla on loan for next season.

The midfielder has been unable to break into the Arsenal first team since moving from Anderlecht and has spent the last two years on loan at Crystal Palace and then Luton. The club are struggling to offload him permanently due to his £50,000 per week wages, so have agreed to another loan deal, with Andalusia his destination. (TeamTalk)
