Arsenal have not yet made any signings this summer, but speculation about their transfer activities is increasing. The club has invested significantly in the last two summer transfer windows as they aim to challenge Manchester City for the Premier League title. After a strong season, Mikel Arteta is expected to receive substantial financial support once again.
Arteta is reportedly seeking a central midfielder and attacking reinforcements. However, he has already missed out on one key target, Benjamin Sesko, who chose to remain with Red Bull Leipzig. Despite this setback, Arsenal is anticipated to be very active in the transfer market.
In this context, Mirror Football summarizes the latest transfer news involving Arsenal.
### Arsenal Progressing in Calafiori Negotiations
Arsenal and Bologna are expected to hold further discussions this week regarding a deal for Riccardo Calafiori. The 22-year-old defender impressed for Italy during their Euro 2024 campaign and has been strongly linked with a move to Arsenal in recent weeks.
According to The Mail, negotiations about a transfer fee are scheduled to occur this week, with Arsenal aiming to finalize the deal before their pre-season tour of the United States.
### Potential Move for Bentley
Arsenal have expressed interest in Wolves’ second-choice goalkeeper, Dan Bentley. Bentley, who joined Wolves from Bristol City in January 2023, has made five Premier League appearances.
Despite having secured David Raya on a permanent basis after his successful loan spell, Arsenal is reportedly interested in Bentley as well. According to The Athletic, Bentley’s potential arrival could suggest the end of Aaron Ramsdale’s tenure at the club, with the England international likely to leave this summer.
### Lokonga Deal Accelerates
Talks between Arsenal and Sevilla regarding Albert Sambi Lokonga are progressing, as reported by Sky Sports. The Belgian midfielder, who spent the latter half of the previous season on loan at Luton Town, was informed earlier this summer that he could seek a new club.
Negotiations between Sevilla and Arsenal are advancing, with the proposed deal expected to be a loan with performance-related conditions that could make the move permanent.
