Arsenal transfer news live: Mikel Arteta’s top Premier League side remains alert for moves this January, with Ethan Nwaneri, Breno Bidon, Vinicius Jr, and Gabriel Martinelli in focus.
Mikel Arteta’s squad has been strong this season, leading the Premier League by six points, but the Emirates staff are still exploring potential signings or departures this month.
Reports from Spain suggest Real Madrid could involve Vinicius Jr in an exchange for Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli, as Vini seeks a fresh challenge after Xabi Alonso’s exit on Monday.
Gabriel Martinelli has impressed this campaign, reportedly drawing interest from Los Blancos. Arsenal, however, see him as vital to their long-term plans despite summer speculation linking him abroad.
Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi has been linked with a January move, though Arsenal consider him a potential short-term option rather than a priority, according to TransferFeed sources.
Ben White remains frustrated at limited game-time but is unlikely to leave this month, with Everton and Manchester City reportedly monitoring the 28-year-old centre-back’s situation carefully.
Per Mertesacker will leave his Arsenal Academy role in the summer, with the German FA reportedly keen to recruit him, ending an era that produced talents like Ethan Nwaneri.
Arsenal are said to be exploring a swoop for Real Madrid’s Arda Guler. The Turkish midfielder’s future is uncertain under incoming boss Alvaro Arbeloa, opening the door for a potential move.
Marseille’s Darryl Bakola has declined a new contract, attracting Arsenal’s interest alongside Aston Villa, Chelsea, and Newcastle. The 18-year-old midfielder could leave during this January window.
Lille’s teenage prodigy Ayyoub Bouaddi is also on Arsenal’s radar. Having debuted in Europe at 16, the 18-year-old is a highly sought-after talent among top European clubs.
Marc Guehi remains available for free this summer. Arsenal, Manchester City, Newcastle, and Liverpool are all monitoring the Crystal Palace defender, although a move might only happen at season’s end.
Arsenal continue to assess squad depth while maintaining Premier League leadership. The January window is likely to be measured, with targets like Nwaneri, Bidon, and potential superstar moves under review.
Arsenal remain cautious over Vinicius Jr, with Real Madrid reportedly valuing him highly. Arteta’s team would need to negotiate carefully to make any deal feasible.
Ethan Nwaneri continues to attract attention from other Premier League sides. Arsenal are weighing whether a loan spell could accelerate his development while keeping him under long-term contract.
Breno Bidon is regarded as a highly promising midfielder. Scouts highlight his vision and passing range, which could strengthen Arsenal’s midfield depth this season and beyond.
Gabriel Martinelli’s importance to Arsenal is clear, with Arteta praising his versatility and work rate. Any potential move for him would likely involve complex negotiations with Real Madrid.
