Arsenal transfer news LIVE with Calafiori latest and Neto ‘talks’

Hello and welcome to the live blog bringing you all of the latest from in and around Arsenal as the transfer window continues to gain momentum.

The Gunners completed their first incoming transfer of the summer window this week, finalising the permanent capture of goalkeeper David Raya from Brentford. The Spaniard spent last season on loan at the Emirates Stadium with the club triggering an option to make the deal permanent.




Arsenal look to be closing in on another incoming by beating Chelsea to Italian defender Riccardo Calafiori. The 22-year-old was a standout player for Italy in Euro 2024 and is know as one of the brightest defensive talents in Europe.


Reports suggest that Arsenal have now agreed terms with the player over a transfer and are continuing talks with Bologna over a transfer fee. The Italian side are said to have an asking price of around €50 million (£42.3m).

Away from transfers, eyes will be on Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice this evening with both players expected to start for England against Switzerland in the Euro 2024 quarter-final. Kick-off is at 5pm.

We’ll bring you the latest news and updates from in and around the Emirates Stadium throughout the day.

Ramsdale faces uncertain future

According to Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth, Arsenal don’t want to offload Aaron Ramsdale this summer. The 26-year-old goalkeeper has faced an uncertain future at the Emirates Stadium for a while now following the arrival of David Raya.

The report states that ‘all options remain open’, with Ramsdale eager to play regular first-team football. It’s said that a loan ‘cannot be ruled out’. He sees his contract with the Gunners expire in two years, plus the option for a further year…

Arsenal could face a battle to keep William Saliba at the club – but not until next year, according to latest reports.

GIVEMESPORT claim that Real Madrid are showing an interest in the French international, but won’t make their move until the end of the upcoming season.

This summer, Madrid are expected to concentrate on seucring the services of Lille defender Leny Yoro.

Saliba is currently in Germany representing France in Euro 2024. He has been a standout performer for Les Bleus as they booked their spot in the semi-final on Friday night.
