Arsenal Transfer News Today: Arteta breaks the market as Real Madrid raid confirmed

All the latest Arsenal transfer news in one place, including updates on Sandro Tonali, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Arsenal eye Kvaratskhelia

Arsenal want to “break the market” by swooping for PSG winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, according to Fichajes.

The Gunners have earmarked the Georgian as a player who can elevate the team further, and club bosses are said to be ready to sanction a move, despite a cost of likely over €100 million.

It comes after reports in France suggested that Kvaratskhelia is not having the best of times at PSG. A combination of being played out of position and frustration from his teammates has affected his confidence, attitude and performance levels.

Hincapie deal confirmed

It has “never been in doubt” that Arsenal will make Piero Hincapie‘s loan from Bayer Leverkusen permanent, Fabrizio Romano reports.

The Ecuador international’s stay in North London will formally become permanent in June, but it was always the clear expectation that Hincapie would join the Gunners long-term.

The reason why the deal was initially only a loan was purely financial because Arsenal had to be careful about their spending after accumulating the largest net spend in world football last summer.

Real Madrid want Lewis-Skelly

Real Madrid are interested in Arsenal full-back Myles Lewis-Skelly, according to Fichajes.

Los Blancos are keeping a close eye on the 19-year-old’s situation with a view to a potential summer transfer. They view the Hale End product as a huge prospect.

Lewis-Skelly is said to be frustrated with his game time this season, having started just one Premier League fixture so far this term. As a result, it has been posited that he could leave the club this summer.

Real Madrid join Tonali race

Real Madrid could also complicate matters for Arsenal with their interest in Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali, The Sun claims.

Arsenal explored a move for the Italy international in the final hours of the January transfer window, and it is believed that they could return for him this summer.

However, Real Madrid have now also registered their interest in Tonali, who is likely to command a fee in excess of €100m. Newcastle do not want to sell their star midfielder.

Goretzka confirms PL move is possible

Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka has confirmed that he could move to the Premier League this summer.

Speaking to Sky Germany, the soon-to-be free agent dismissed suggestions that he is keen to move to Spain because of the more pleasant climate. Arsenal, Tottenham and Barcelona have all been linked with the Germany international.

“Who doesn’t like sunshine, right? But I’m certainly not going to base my next move on the weather. We’ll find something nice,” he said.
