Each day brings us closer to the transfer deadline, therefore, every second, minute, and hour counts. Having said that, Arsenal has already made two outstanding additions: defender Riccardo Calafiori and goalkeeper David Raya, who joined on loan and is now a permanent signing.
Well, things are looking good, and we may expect further deals, but how would a 10/10 Arsenal summer 2024 transfer window look to you on deadline day? I’ll go first. After Raya and Calafiori, I’d like the Gunners to add Mikel Merino, and then make a double swoop in attack with deals for Leroy Sane and Viktor Gyokeres.
Calafiori is the perfect LB; he is equally effective defensively and offensively, and his ball carries would provide another element to our defence.
Mikel Merino, a duelling monster, addresses our LCM problems; he’s Xhaka 2.0.
Gyokeres is a killer striker.
We feel Havertz will have a terrific season, but if anyone can push him, it’s the Swedish striker who scored 43 goals and assisted 15 times for Sporting CP last season. Sane might compete with Saka by replicating Martinelli’s pace on the right wing rather than putting his brilliance there.
Merino’s agreement is a matter of when, not if. Arsenal has been carefully scouting Gyokeres, and there are even suggestions that we are looking to get him for a free between £50-£60 million.
According to reports, Bayern are attempting to reach an agreement with Sane on a new contract, but there are some obstacles. Arsenal appears to be closely monitoring Sane’s contract extension situation and is eager to sign him.
If all this comes to pass, then that’s my 10/10 Arsenal transfer window. What’s yours?

After Merino’s signing, I don’t think other transfers will happen without the clear out for the likes of Nelson, Nketia, and Lokonga. Also, Jesus needs to go if these two are purchased as both wings and the striker position have adequate cover and its too expensive to just have him sit on the bench.
Sambi-Lokonga went to Sevilla, whereas Nketiah seems heading to Marseille. No news about Nelson yet
In my opinion after signing Mikel Moreno, a Striker like Gyokeres should be Arsenal’s prority. LSane isn’t needed badly in the team. 2nd position in Epl twice we should analyse what can improve us this season that we don’t have a force in front of goals is what we need. Gyokeres or victor Osimehin will do the job well.
Nelson Nketiah move on Merino Gyokeres in Jesus moved out to the right wing to compete with Saka.
Sounds about right
Though I think we could see a lot of interchanging across the front later in matches….eg if Martinelli gets subbed then Havertz moves up front, Jesus to right wing and Saka to left… would be great to see them inter changing more during games anyway so as to throw off the opposition who would have set themselves up a certain way
Won’t happen Neill, sadly not in Arteta’s book
I Personally think G.J best position is no 10. If We are but Osimhen no one would doubt if he will do well in Premier league. Havertz cand play RW along Saka . Partey Nelson Nketiah should be sold ASAP. Merino and either of the Victor Strikers with Sporting Lisbon defender Ousmane should be Brought in.Also the Boca Junior defensive Midfielder.
Push Zinchecko Forward to Left Midfield
“Gyokeres is a killer striker.” according to the article and that may be true but, if so, two questions:
1) why are Arsenal the one club that’s supposed to be interested in him? For such a “killer striker” there are no others?
2) why are Sporting open to offers (according to reports) below his release clause price?
Look, he may be a terrific prospect and all that but the hype around him doesn’t really match the actual reported interest in him (and we’d know by now in the window if there were clubs looking at him seriously).
He’s 26. Calling him a prospect is even more ridiculous than saying that about Nketiah. No doubt he’s good but he wasn’t scoring anywhere near that number in the Championship and tbh I think that’s a higher level than the Portugal top flight.
Sane? I have to disagree with you on this. On his day he’s unplayable but unfortunately he doesn’t have many of them. Anyway I think he’s well past his peak.
Arteta should look to sign Dominic solonke Ollie watkin or Viktor Gyokeres
