Arsenal are planning a £126m summer overhaul, targeting a striker, midfielder, and goalkeeper. Benjamin Sesko (£55m) and Martin Zubimendi (£51m) are key targets, with Joan Garcia (£20m) eyed for goalkeeping depth. Jorginho, Partey, Tierney, Kiwior, and Zinchenko could depart. Arteta aims for strategic signings after a quiet January, ensuring squad balance for 2024/25.
In the buildup to the 2024/25 season, Arsenal is preparing for a significant squad overhaul under Mikel Arteta, with a planned £126 million triple transfer move. The club refrained from making any January signings despite injuries, instead opting for a disciplined approach. Arteta has identified three priority positions—striker, central midfield, and goalkeeper.
RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko, valued at £55 million due to a release clause, is a primary target, while Newcastle’s Alexander Isak remains on the wishlist. In midfield, Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi is expected to join, with Arsenal preferring to pay in instalments rather than triggering his £51 million clause. Between the posts, Espanyol’s Joan Garcia, valued at £20 million, is a key target, as Neto prepares to return to Bournemouth.
Arsenal is also set for a major clear-out, with Jorginho and Thomas Partey leaving as free agents. Defenders Kieran Tierney, Jakub Kiwior, and Oleksandr Zinchenko are also likely to exit, with Tierney linked to Celtic, Dortmund previously interested in Zinchenko, and Kiwior attracting Serie A clubs. After a measured January window, Arsenal aims to strengthen efficiently in the summer while offloading surplus players.
