For Arsenal, the past 2024-25 season was bitter. They did not seize the opportunity of Manchester City's reconstruction. They lost to Liverpool in the Premier League and finally finished second. Although they beat the defending champion Real Madrid 5-1 in two rounds, they regretfully fell at the feet of the final champion Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals. The unwilling Arsenal boss continues to wave checks this summer, hoping to continue to strengthen in the forward, midfield and goalkeeper position, and continue to compete for the Premier League and Champions League championship trophy in the new season.

From the current perspective, Arsenal's signings this summer are very effective. They have now locked in Real Sociedad midfielder Zubimendi, Chelsea substitute goalkeeper Kepa and Leipzig striker Cesco, and will prepare about 150 million euros of transfer fees for the three stars. If it goes well, these three transactions will be completed in the near future.

According to well-known transfer expert Romano, although Real Madrid is considering intercepting Zubimendi and he has not signed with Arsenal, he believes Zubimendi will play for the Gunners 100%. Arsenal will trigger Zubimendi's 60 million euros termination fee and will give Zubimendi an annual salary of 10 million euros. He will make Arsenal's first signing in the new season!

Zubimedi is 26 years old, Real Sociedad midfielder and Spanish international. Last season, he played 48 times for Real Sociedad, contributing 2 goals and 2 assists. Although Real Madrid coach Alonso was very interested in Zubimendi, Real Madrid had no intention of triggering Zubimendi's 60 million euros termination fee, and was only willing to give Zubimendi an annual salary of 6-7 million euros in the first season. Therefore, although Zubimendi once wanted to stay in Spain, considering his personal treatment and the fierce competition in Real Madrid's midfield, he will eventually choose to join Arsenal.

30-year-old Spanish goalkeeper Kepa was loaned to Bournemouth by Chelsea last season, playing 35 times for the team and conceded 43 goals, 9 of which remained in clean sheets. In 2018, Chelsea spent 80 million euros to sign Kepa from Athletic Bilbao, which set a transfer record for the goalkeeper at that time. However, he has no chance to play at Chelsea now. Kepa himself hopes to join Arsenal and compete with Raya for the main goalkeeper position. Arsenal is expected to pay a 5 million pounds termination fee. In terms of the forward line, according to exclusive news from Desen Sports, Arsenal is already conducting practical transfer negotiations with Leipzig for Sesco's transfer. Arteta admires the Leipzig striker very much and is expected to directly contact Sesco's 80 million euro termination fee. Sesco is only 21 years old this year, 1.95 meters tall to serve as a center. His contract with Leipzig expires in 2029, with a valuation of 65 million euros. This season, he has 21 goals and 6 assists for Leipzig in 45 games. Although Sesco is 1.95 meters tall, he is not bulky. He has excellent sprinting speed and foot skills. He can not only serve as a fulcrum in the penalty area to grab points, but also use his speed to attack the opponent's defense line. If he joins Arsenal, he will provide Arsenal with more tactical choices.

While signing, Arsenal is also conducting contract renewal negotiations with the team's core players Saka and Saliba, to avoid a situation like Liverpool's Arnold, and to maintain the team's continued competitiveness. According to the Mirror, Arsenal is planning to complete a contract renewal with Saka and Saliba. The current 24-year-old French defender Saliba and Arsenal's contract will expire in 2027. Arsenal executives hope that he will play for the team for a long time, while Saliba himself is very satisfied with his life in London and is considered ready to renew his contract with Arsenal.

23-year-old forward core Saka also hopes to continue playing for Arsenal. His contract with Arsenal has two years left, with a net worth of up to 150 million euros, ranking 6th in the European player list. Arsenal coach Arteta hopes that he will continue to carry the team's banner and conquer Arsenal, and the club is full of confidence in reaching a contract renewal agreement with him.
