TA: Arsenal s negotiations on signing Cres are in-depth, and preliminary conversations have been held on Rodrigo

July 8th TheAthletic reported the latest progress in the Arsenal transfer market, saying that the negotiations to sign Yorke are very in-depth, and all parties are optimistic about the final conclusion of a comprehensive agreement.

Signing of Yorke also means that Arsenal will give up Cesco. According to German sources, although there is still room for negotiation for Cesco's transfer fees and salary, it is obviously not enough to convince Arsenal, so he decided to advance the Yorke's deal.

In the past week, Arsenal also terminated the contract with Fu'an Jianyang early. Earlier this summer, the two sides began negotiating the termination of the contract. The club believes that this is a win-win result: on the one hand, Fu'an Jianyang can recover according to his own situation, and on the other hand, the team can also free up a place to sign. Arsenal have completed Noorgo's transfer and are still struggling to sign 21-year-old Valencia defender Mosquera. With Fu'an Jianyang's departure, Arsenal plans to sign another defender this summer.

Apart from Yorkress, Arsenal is also looking for other attackers. They have agreed with Maduaike on personal terms, but no agreement has been reached between the clubs. Arsenal believes that Maduaike is an offensive all-rounder who can support Saka on the right and also provide options for the left.

For the left winger, Arsenal is still discussing other players. They conducted extensive background checks on Rodrigo and had preliminary negotiations on a possible transfer. Newcastle's Anthony Gordon was also favored, and Lukeman joined the discussion, but Arsenal did not want to match Atlanta's asking price.

Arsenal is also considering introducing some creative midfielders, such as Crystal Palace's Eze. However, whether the signing in this area can be achieved depends largely on the remaining budget after Arsenal signed Yorke, and whether Rodrigo or Eze can join may also depend on whether the team has sufficient transfer income. Currently, the players who are willing to listen to the transfer offer include Fabio Vieira, Zinchenko and Nelson.
