Arsenal transfer news: Mikel Arteta could secure £75million for three wantaway stars

The summer transfer window has only been open for two days and Arsenal are preparing to make some moves.

Off the back of another second-placed Premier League finish, the Gunners will be hoping to win their first league title since 2004 next season and manager Mikel Arteta is keen to strengthen his squad.

A striker and a winger are on the agenda, while a new midfielder could also join depending on potential outgoings. Arsenal do have cash to spend, but the sales of a number of fringe players will bolster their funds.

£75m boost

Thomas Partey, Emile Smith Rowe and Reiss Nelson could all leave Arsenal this summer, according to reports.

Partey is said to be attracting interest from the Saudi Pro League, having struggled for game time last season due to a combination of injuries and the arrival of Declan Rice. It is claimed an offer of £25million would be enough to persuade Arsenal to sell him.

Smith Rowe and Nelson also had fringe roles last season and are attracting interest from a number of other Premier League clubs. The pair are both under long-term contracts and could earn the Gunners an additional £50m.

Onana enquiry

Arsenal have made an enquiry for Everton midfielder Amadou Onana, with the Liverpool Echo reporting that it will take at least £50m to persuade the Toffees to sell.

Onana has long been linked with a move to the Emirates and it is claimed Manchester United's pursuit of Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite could be damaged if Arsenal complete a deal to sign the midfielder.

Everton are hoping to comply with the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability regulations and the potential sale of Onana would help them do that. It would also put them in a much stronger position to keep hold of Branthwaite.

Williams interest

According to football.london, Arsenal are also interested in Athletic Bilbao forward Nico Williams.

Williams is currently in action for Spain at Euro 2024, having impressed with 25 goal contributions across all competitions last season. It is claimed that the 21-year-old has a €50m (£42.1m) release clause and he has stated he wants to wait until after the Euros to decide his future.

"I have [been] quite clear where I want to play next season," Williams told El Partidazo de COPE earlier this week. "Athletic is my home. I am very happy. I have told my manager that I don't want to know anything until the Euro cup is over."
