Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta declined to confirm the club’s interest in Real Madrid winger Vinícius Júnior, but said more signings are likely before the summer window closes. The Brazilian star’s contract with the Spanish giants runs out next summer, and Madrid have reportedly offered no new deal. Arsenal believe they could secure him if he opts to leave, though a source close to the player reported no contact yet.

Arteta spoke after a 4‑1 friendly win over Girona, noting the team’s ambition and stating, “We’re really active, trying to improve and evolve. We expect movements in the next few weeks.” The club’s most high‑profile acquisition so far this summer is Greek winger Christos Tzolis, who joined for a £34 million fee from Club Brugge and scored in the Girona match.

Arsenal are also linked with Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimarães. Sources say the club is studying the feasibility of a deal for both Brazilian talents.

Overall, Arsenal’s summer activity shows a clear intent to strengthen the squad ahead of the upcoming season.
