Arsenal have intensified their chase for Aston Villa left‑winger Morgan Rogers, identifying him as the priority signing on the left flank this summer. Villa sit on a contract until 2031, giving them leverage as they entertain offers around £80m. No club‑to‑club contact has been reported, and the club’s Champions League qualification does not appear to affect the deal now.

Arsenal are also probing a move for Club Brugge’s 24‑year‑old left‑winger Christos Tzolis, whose price tag could reach £34m, a Belgian Pro League record. Brugge have rejected offers, citing the player’s contract until 2029. Meanwhile, the Gunners keep tabs on Lille prodigy Ayyoub Bouaddi, whose World Cup display against Brazil raised his profile, though his Lille deal runs to 2029.

Potential exits loom as Arsenal weigh offers for Gabriel Jesus, Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli, each on contracts with a year remaining and a projected £18m‑£20m valuation for Jesus. Defender Ben White, returning from a medial ligament injury, also attracts interest, while midfield stalwart Christian Norgaard may seek a move after limited game time. The squad’s composition will hinge on these decisions.
