Mikel Arteta is poised for a double transfer boost for Arsenal as a £38m deal nears completion.
Arsenal seems poised to step up their summer transfer activities in the coming days, with the window opening on Friday, June 14th. However, the likelihood of early deals appears low, given that the day coincides with the start of the European championships.
The Copa America begins the following week, involving several players of interest to Arsenal, which could also affect potential transfers. However, many of those who could depart are not participating in either tournament in Germany or the United States of America.
Players like Benjamin Sesko, Joshua Kimmich, Douglas Luiz, and Martin Zubimendi are among the targets occupied in the upcoming weeks, potentially delaying transfer dealings. Nonetheless, significant updates continue to emerge, providing Arsenal with a boost from two other clubs.
Regarding Luiz, Arsenal’s interest remains, and Aston Villa’s financial struggles could work in their favor. Villa might be compelled to sell Luiz before June 30th due to their situation.
Regarding Palhinha’s potential move to Bayern Munich, it could significantly impact Arsenal, possibly influencing Joshua Kimmich’s departure. If Kimmich leaves, it could present an opportunity for Arsenal to pursue him, especially since Barcelona has opted not to pursue him.
