Arsenal transfer news and rumours: Bowen talks amid Gakpo and Sane interest as medical booked

Arsenal have been among the busier teams during the summer transfer window, and may yet sign more players.

Mikel Arteta has spent north of £100m on Fabio Vieira, Marquinhos, Matt Turner and Manchester City pair Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko.

A midfielder reportedly remains of interest in the club, prompting further transfer news and rumours.

Here’s a look at some of it

Jarrod Bowen

Arsenal have this summer contacted West Ham over signing Jarrod Bowen, according to CBS Sports.

Reporter Ben Jacobs told GiveMeSport: “With Bowen, West Ham’s stance remains that they really don’t want to sell, so there’s a lot of clubs circling over Bowen, but the challenge, much like Declan Rice, is persuading West Ham to sell during this window and West Ham remain pretty intent not to let him go.

“So, there’s lots of excitement about Bowen moving potentially to a club like Arsenal, but it’s all hypothetical at the moment, because West Ham don’t want to sell. But Arsenal have definitely made an enquiry around Bowen to see what the situation is, but that’s what they’ve been told.”

Cody Gakpo

Arsenal have been told they will need to pay up to £38m for transfer target Cody Gakpo.

Football.London claims Mikel Arteta is interested in signing the PSV midfielder.

“At the moment, despite some speculation involving Arsenal, the situation is quiet around Cody Gakpo,” Fabrizio Romano told CaughtOffside. “He has always been on the list for Leeds United, but not in the first position, just after Luis Sinisterra, who was a priority of the club.

“PSV Eindhoven are hoping to keep him and his price tag has always been around €40-45m (around £33.5m to £38m). He may be a name to monitor in the coming weeks as a big opportunity for many clubs.”

Leroy Sane

Another player Arsenal have been linked with is Bayern Munich’s Leroy Sane.

Express journalist Ryan Taylor believes the Gunners would explore a deal for the former Manchester City winger should he become available.

He told GiveMeSport: "It would be fair to assume Arsenal would be interested in a player of his [Sane's] quality.

“He’s world-class on his day and he’s Premier League proven, so I do think he’s the kind of player they’ll be looking at, but nothing concrete at the moment as far as I’m aware."

Nuno Tavares

Arsenal defender Nuno Tavares is set to undergo a medical with Marseille this morning ahead of joining the club on loan for the season.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Ligue 1 club will cover the player’s full wages, but do not have an option to make the move permanent.
