Arsenal have officially shattered the Premier League transfer record, outpacing both Liverpool and Chelsea to secure the signing of a highly-rated playmaker valued at £120 million. The player gave the go-ahead to join the Gunners yesterday, and the deal is now fully agreed. A medical is scheduled to take place this morning.

Double Transfer Boost for Arsenal as Medical Set for Tomorrow

Arsenal fans have reasons to celebrate as the club edges closer to completing two significant signings this summer. A major breakthrough has reportedly been achieved, with substantial transfer fees agreed for both targets.

One of the new arrivals is believed to be en route for a medical, scheduled to take place tomorrow, marking a promising step forward in Arsenal’s transfer business.

While the Gunners have made a steady start to the summer window, strengthening the attack remains a top priority. Mikel Arteta is keen on bringing in a prolific striker and a versatile winger to sharpen his frontline ahead of the new campaign. Recently, reports have linked Arsenal with Real Madrid forward Rodrygo, a player Arteta greatly admires for his ability to thrive from the left wing.

According to Spanish publication ABC, Rodrygo’s future at the Santiago Bernabéu is in doubt. With the arrivals of Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham, and Vinícius Júnior set to command starting roles under new manager Xabi Alonso, Rodrygo’s chances of regular first-team football appear limited. Competition on the right wing is also fierce, with Arda Güler and Franco Mastantuono vying for opportunities.

The report claims that Rodrygo intends to hold discussions with his family and representatives to carefully consider his next move. Should he decide to leave Madrid, Arsenal are prepared to make their move for the talented Brazilian.

Rodrygo made an impressive 24 goal contributions for Real Madrid last season, notably recording 12 of those from only 12 appearances on the left flank — a position where he clearly excels.

At Arsenal, he could potentially claim a starting role ahead of Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, offering increased depth and quality in wide areas. His technical ability, impressive passing accuracy, and reliable chance conversion rate make him an attractive target.

However, a move for Rodrygo would require him to push for a new challenge, with Madrid reportedly open to letting him go for around £77 million. Arsenal are believed to be capable of meeting this valuation through a structured payment plan.

Meanwhile, the club’s primary focus remains on securing Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres, with reports suggesting a £58 million deal is in progress. Rumors of a £111 million striker signing remain unfounded, with no credible source confirming such a deal. As it stands, Gyökeres and Rodrygo are Arsenal’s most realistic attacking targets this summer.
