Arsenal intensifies summer transfer hunt after losing Morgan Rogers

Arsenal missed out on signing Morgan Rogers, who completed a £117 million move to Chelsea, prompting the Premier League champions to broaden their search for attacking reinforcements. The club confirmed it is prepared to sell Brazilian forward Gabriel Martinelli, setting a £38 million price tag as it reshapes the left side.

Arsenal have advanced talks to bring Greek winger Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge for roughly £34 million, with his medical and paperwork near completion. They also revived a £77 million pursuit of Spain’s World Cup‑winning winger Nico Williams, while scouting high‑profile targets such as Julian Alvarez, teenage forward Ayyoub Bouaddi and former Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimarães.

The Gunners have made fresh contact for RB Leipzig’s 19‑year‑old Ivorian winger Yan Diomande, whose fee is reported near €120 million, though Paris Saint‑Germain remains the front‑runner. Arsenal also secured 18‑year‑old defender Elijah Upson after his move from Tottenham. The activity underscores Arsenal’s effort to solidify a left‑wing option and bolster the squad ahead of a title‑defence season.
