On June 16, Beijing Time (CEST), The Athletic released "Transfer Weekly" for the summer 2026 transfer window, discussing Arsenal's transfer plans.

What happened this week?

Arsenal is considering signing 24-year-old Bruges striker Tsolis. Sources indicate Tsolis primarily plays as a left winger, with a transfer fee around €40 million.

Berta's direct assistant, Maurizio Micheli, watched the Greek international play against Sweden on June 4 – Arsenal is considering proceeding with the deal.

Which positions or players are they targeting?

Arsenal's pursuit of Tsolis will not end their interest in players like Morgan Rogers or Barcola, and the club has also considered recruiting a midfielder – though it remains unclear how Lewis-Skelly will impact these plans.

Arteta still highly values Tonali, but with the player having at least three years remaining on his contract (Newcastle United has an option to extend through 2030), signing him will not come cheap. Arsenal is very interested in Alex Scott, who is also a target for Manchester United.

Arsenal continues to recruit talented young players. Beyond pursuing Jeremy Monga from Leicester City, they are also very keen on signing Ilya Upson, an 18-year-old defender currently at Tottenham Hotspur who will become available after his contract expires on June 30.

Will Monga become part of Arsenal's first team?

He will be 17 in July and has already played for Leicester City's first team, making a Premier League appearance at age 15 years 271 days as a substitute – the second-youngest player to appear in Premier League history at that time.

If he joins Arsenal, it is unlikely he will receive regular playing time immediately. However, he will have the opportunity to train regularly with the first team, allowing the head coach to assess his abilities thoroughly.

Which players might leave?

Arsenal's interest in Tsolis may be linked to the futures of Trossard and Martinelli, whose contracts both expire next summer. Trossard is more likely to depart, with Turkish clubs showing strong interest.

Arsenal remains open to transfer offers for Jesus, Nwagao, and Fábio Vieira, with Hamburger SV showing significant interest in Fábio Vieira. Additionally, Arsenal faces uncertainty regarding 19-year-old Nwaneri's future.
