Arsenal Transfer News Show: Arteta targets Gyokeres or Alvarez | Merino & Fabian Ruiz latest

If you're new here, if you're one of my long-term supporters, I appreciate you guys tuned in. Now as the transfer rumours keep going on, people, we know we're interested and on the verge of signing California. We've been linked with Fabio Ruiz and also Moreno. We know Smith-Rowe is moving ever closer to a move with Fulham. And where Reece Nelson and Eddie and Ketty are concerned and Kivio, their futures are still subject to speculation. So if you give me two seconds to share my screen, we'll get into what we currently have available to us at the time of making this video. Do make sure you're smashing the like button. You're getting the creative juices flowing as well because I want to know each and every opinion you guys have. Now, I think I speak for every Arsenal fan where I think we're fairly assured that where California is concerned, hopefully there's no hiccups where the medical is concerned, but we all hope that he officially signs off as an Arsenal player and attention can move towards any potential new signings and also departures people. Romano on California said, I understand Ricardo. California's travel from Italy to London is being planned for today. He's expected to fly for the first part of his medical test in London, then time to join Arsenal and his squad in the US. So he probably won't be available for the, I think we've got Manchester United next in pre-season and then we've got Liverpool in America. But again, hopefully we can get him in. You know, Timber looks like he's doing well in pre-season, albeit at centre-half. You'd imagine him to be not only an option at centre-half, but also left and right back. Tommy Ass is a key part of things, but currently he's injured and we want to see California and what he can do, people. And there's competition for places. That seems to be the rhetoric of every Arsenal footballer, whether that's Benjamin White, Zinchenko, Partey recently, Mikel Arteta, Odegaard, everybody who has spoken about competitions, because unless your name for places, I believe, unless your name is, you know, within reason currently Gabriel, David Rayo, William Saliba, Bakayo, Saka, Declan Rice and Odegaard, your place is subject to speculation. And we might even develop into a team that one day these lot will struggle. You know, if you're not doing your thing or you're struggling, you might not necessarily be one of the first names on the team sheet. So that's where Romano has left us where California is concerned. Hopefully the next time we speak about him, of course, you know, he's obviously an Arsenal player and several other journalists are kind of echoing the same thing where California is concerned. From one left back option to another at Arsenal, apparently despite reports, zero talks or contacts between Inter and Arsenal or Inter and Kivuil's camp, no agreement, no negotiations so far. So for all the teams Kivuil has been linked with, if there hasn't been any indirect talks with your advisors, there hasn't been bids or any agreement on personal terms, what's being reported in the media and what's actually happening in the footballing world are very different things. That doesn't mean there's not indirect communications with Arsenal to see if Kivuil is available because he probably is. I don't think Arsenal will force him out. He's good for depth. But if an offer arrives that we can't turn down, you guys know what time it is. We've heard that he was offered as a potential swap in the deal with Bologna for California. That hasn't amounted to anything. Where you look at the recent game against Bournemouth where we won 5-4 on penalties and obviously won one in 90 minutes, there's a reason Reece Nelson, Eddie Nketiah and Kivuil are all linked with moves away played and someone like Smithrow didn't. As Mikel Arteta said, it seems like there's an imminent departure where that is concerned. Moving away from that, again Kivuil is still linked with Juventus. Allegedly he could be used in a swap deal to help us sign Chiesa, who it seems like with a year left on his deal with Juventus could be linked with a move away or actually depart. Been linked with Arsenal Spurs, Chelsea, Roma as a bunch of other clubs. He has been linked with us going back to his days at Fiorentina. He does play in a position or positions that I think many of us Arsenal fans wouldn't mind in addition. But who knows? Kivuil is still going to be linked with clubs in Italy. As I said earlier, whether it's Inter, AC, Juventus, Napoli, Roma, he's consistently linked with stuff. But it just seems like speculation at this moment in time. Apparently we're set to bid 60 million for one of Europe's most in-form strikers. We know we've been linked with Isak and Osman as well as Benjamin Sesko. For a bunch of other reasons, these things haven't happened. We know Nico Williams allegedly has his heart set on joining Barcelona from Bilbao. Eddie and Keti are, you know, the 25-year-old apparently has agreed personal terms over a move to Marseille. But where Marseille and Arsenal in terms of agreeing a fee for the player, or better yet, technically one-time capped England international, we don't know. Now Jokeres is someone that's been linked with us. 43 goals in 50 appearances and I believe 29 league goals whets the appetite of every Arsenal fan. And we're still linked with Ajax's Brian Brodley. Apparently, according to Romano, we're set to test the waters and tempt Sporting Lisbon with a bid of 55 to 60 million euros for Jokeres. He's still linked with Chelsea and Atletico. I'm not too sure if I believe that. But nonetheless, let me know your thoughts. Manchester City set asking price for Julian Alvarez after Chelsea and Arsenal transfer link. Now he's been linked with Atletico Madrid as well. And in short, a departure from Manchester City. Some reports say he wants more of a prominent role within the side. Some say him and his family actually want to live in a warmer country. Who knows? But they'll demand at least 60 million for the 24-year-old in which I wouldn't be against in people. I mean, he's completed football already at 24 years of age, you know, won everything there is to offer at club level with Manchester City and including the Champions League and then went off with Messi, played with Messi, which is a story in itself, and won the World Cup, people. Apparently, he wants more playing time at City and is looking to leave. Again, they'll make quite the handsome profit on when they bought him from River Plate. 60 million for the 24-year-old. I wouldn't be against it really and truly. I don't know if Manchester City will directly want to sell us players anymore after seeing what we're doing. It would have been nice if we signed Cole Palmer if they've got another one of those, especially with Smith-Rowe's potential departure and for that. As you can see here, apparently him and his family would prefer to live in a warmer climate. Would you look rather Alvarez or Llores? Let me know in the comments. Atletico have been pushing. Allegedly, they're unwilling to meet the asking price. He has been linked with Chelsea. Indirectly, we've been linked with him as well, obviously because we've bought players from them before. He obviously plays in an area we'd like to improve in. He's 24 so he can grow with the squad and he is quite the versatile player, people. He's also won the Copa America as well and apparently he's playing in the Olympics as well. That's crazy. If you're struggling for football at City, you want to play any football available to you but I wonder what that would mean for Arsenal's preparations if we did sign him, people. Romano has said it's important for Arsenal to complete some outgoings. We know Smith-Rowe is close to joining Fulham. They're working on a deal with Marseille for Nketiah. Also, Nelson to Leicester City is a possibility so negotiations are ongoing. So is West Ham on the back foot where Reece Nelson is concerned? Again, the Haylanders is going to go down as a 100% profit. You look at the £27m we spent on Raya to make his move permanent. Obviously, we're spending €40m to €50m on California. If you get £35m for Eddie Nketiah, anything from £10m to £20m on Nelson and the £30m region where Nketiah is concerned with a sell-on clause, I think we're doing all right and the net expense starts to look a bit better. We all know Fulham are close to an agreement with Arsenal for Emil Smith-Rowe. Apparently, it's around £35m which would be Fulham's record sale. He can leave with his head held high. Obviously, 115 appearances in FA Cup win and England international and a £35m sale. It is a Hayland success story. It's not the way we wanted it to go but he can live with his head held high, people. All good things come to an end as long as it gets reinvested. Let's do what we're doing. In relation to Moreno, we're still linked with him, people. Some reports say we're currently the favourites to land him. Romano is being a bit contradictory to other journalists and saying Arsenal have still not presented any official bid for Mikel Moreno as their focus was on sealing California. Formal contacts for a new midfielder will start in the next days with Moreno on the list. Approaches took place on the player side. So, indirect channel talks with his advisers are on the player but in terms of presenting something to Sociedad, it's the calm before the storm, people. Again, he has said after the focus on California shifts after we get him, then we could also look to sign Moreno. Some ITKs have tweeted that Moreno actually was wanted by Mikel Arteta when he first took the Arsenal job, people. So, yeah, all the journalists seem to be in agreement that Moreno is the next target. Keeping up the theme with central midfielders and Spanish central midfielders, allegedly Arsenal have initiated discussions with PSG for Fabian Ruiz, who obviously used the Euros to remind people of his quality. You know, it's been a tough time at PSG since he joined from Napoli. The 28-year-old was firmly among one of the best players in the Euros and you could see him slotting in like a glove with how Arsenal play and in that left eight-row, people. So, we're not too sure. But Duncan Castle has said, for someone a Premier League club are looking at, he has won more balls than anyone else at the tournament and won twice as many in the final third of the pitch as any other player. So, to go with your technical ability, that's right up Mikel Arteta's street. So, you've got the pressing ability, which is fundamental to the way Mikel Arteta plays. He passes the ball accurately, beats opponents 1v1. In many ways, he looks like an obvious fit to the Arsenal system. Discussions are dependent on Arsenal moving a midfield player out where Smith-Rowe looks like that could be something. It's possible if they come to an agreement with PSG on a transfer fee, the deal will be structured in the same way as they used to bring David Rayo from Brentford alone with an obligation to buy a year later. Ruiz is a product of the Betis youth system. We all know he moved to Napoli and since then he's rocked up at PSG. So, he's played in La Liga, played in Spain, played in La Liga, obviously played in France and played in Italy. So, that might help his adaptability when signing for another club. In the same way, you could say that over Ricardo Calafori, who's played in Switzerland as well as Italy, and Moreno, who's played in Germany, technically England, as well as obviously Spain. So, I mean, I'm a fan of Fabian Ruiz. You're not going to hear me say no to that, but let me know your thoughts. We've gone over the Benjamin Sesco thing before. Who really cares if he's rejected us now? Ethan the unwary is to play more of a first-team role in the squad in the upcoming season. With Nelson, Smith-Rowe and Leivin, you'd imagine whether it's a 10, 8 or out wide, he can be afforded more minutes. We've been linked with the talented La Masia play-up, Marc Bonao. Apparently, Arteta likes him a lot. Hansi Flick believes he can be better than Busquets. Quite the faith you have, and he is a quality player. You'd expect someone that's come through that system, obviously inexperienced because of age. Fabio Vieira scored a great volley in the game against Bournemouth. Again, we know allegedly Arsenal turned down several approaches from clubs in Germany, Spain and Italy for Ruiz. Mikel Arteta probably reckons with a new midfield addition with Jorginho, Partey, Fabian Ruiz and the luxury of Kai Havertz playing in midfield, we can afford to let Smith-Rowe go. So, hopefully, Fabio Vieira can rise in prominence across the season. I believe we deserve it, DG Nation.
