The Premier League champions have been active in the transfer market this summer as manager Mikel Arteta looks to build on a historic title-winning campaign. Arsenal claimed their first Premier League title in 22 years last season, ending a long wait that had tested the patience of supporters across north London.

Arsenal are the Premier League champions, yet Mikel Arteta remains hungry for more as the summer transfer window enters its most critical phase. The Gunners spent years finishing second before finally claiming the title last season, proving that Arteta has built one of England’s most formidable squads in recent memory. Despite that long-awaited triumph, Arsenal’s attacking output left room for improvement, with forwards failing to consistently fire across the full length of the campaign. Bukayo Saka, Arsenal’s most important creative force, managed only seven Premier League goals last season, hampered significantly by injury problems throughout the year. His underlying numbers…

Tottenham Hotspur have held initial talks with Manchester City over a potential deal to sign Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. Romano made the revelation on Givemesport’s Market Madness podcast, confirming that Spurs have already opened dialogue with the Premier League champions over the 27-year-old attacker. Marmoush first caught widespread attention with a stunning run of form at Eintracht Frankfurt, registering 23 goal contributions across 39 appearances during the 2023/24 season. He then took his game to an entirely new level in the first half of the 2024/25 campaign, scoring 20 goals and providing 13 assists…

Atletico Madrid have emerged as the clear frontrunners to sign Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero after a deal with Inter Milan broke down. Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano revealed on his YouTube channel that Inter’s pursuit collapsed after the Italian club failed to sell Benjamin Pavard to raise the necessary funds. Romano was direct in his assessment: “I would put Atletico Madrid way way ahead of Inter today for Cuti Romero, because Inter had a deal in place with Tottenham for Romero in terms of club to club agreement for €40m, but never got a green light together with the player.”…

Tottenham Hotspur and Everton are reportedly preparing to open negotiations to sign Galatasaray forward Baris Alper Yilmaz, according to Turkish outlet Turkiye Gazeti. The 26-year-old has developed into one of Galatasaray’s most important attacking players since joining the club back in 2021. Yilmaz took some time to find his feet at Rams Park Stadyumu but has since grown into a consistent and productive starter for the Turkish giants. During the 2024/25 campaign, he registered 19 goal contributions across 44 appearances in all competitions, demonstrating his growing influence at the club. Last season proved even more productive for the Turkish forward,…

The 26-year-old has been on Everton’s radar for some time, with reports via Football Talk previously revealing that the Toffees were plotting a move for the winger. Yilmaz joined Galatasaray from Ankara Keçiörengücü in 2021 and has since developed into one of the club’s most influential and consistent attacking players. Over five years at Rams Park, he has firmly established himself as a key figure not just for Galatasaray but across the Turkish…

Everton are pushing to add more attacking threat to David Moyes’ squad after a summer that has focused primarily on strengthening the midfield. Christian Norgaard, Hayden Hackney and Merlin Rohl have brought steel and control to the engine room, while Tyrique George has joined as another option in attack. Despite those additions, goalscoring remains a pressing concern, with Everton managing just 47 Premier League goals last season among the lowest tallies of any surviving club. The Toffees also created only 53 big chances throughout the campaign, placing them among the division’s least threatening sides in the final third. Jack Grealish…
