Arsenal continues to pursue midfield reinforcements, focusing on Mexican playmaker Gilberto Mora and Brazilian midfielder Breno Bidon. Regarding Mora, the club has intensified its pursuit of the player from Club Tijuana. Following his 18th birthday on October 14, which satisfied FIFA regulations for international transfers, Arsenal has explored various deal structures. One proposed strategy involves signing the teenager and subsequently sending him out on loan to facilitate his development.

Mora, who has featured for the Mexican senior national team in the Gold Cup and World Cup, has a reported release clause of approximately $26.8 million (£20 million), though some valuations previously reached €50 million. While his talent is noted, concerns persist regarding his physical durability following recent ankle, hand, and calf injuries.

Arsenal faces significant competition for Mora from several European clubs, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund, Benfica, and Bayern Munich.

In parallel, the club remains interested in 21-year-old Breno Bidon from Corinthians. Arsenal is reportedly prepared to offer over €25 million for the Brazilian midfielder, who has earned senior international call-ups, and may leverage the influence of Bruno Guimaraes to assist in negotiations.
