Arsenal Daily Briefing

Bukayo Saka is being carefully managed by England ahead of the World Cup. Morgan Rogers says Arsenal's interest is "95% noise" — but everyone expects Villa to sell. And Arsenal have a new head doctor. All that plus the Nico Williams thread quietly heating up.

Real Madrid have bid €150 million for Julián Álvarez, making him all but impossible for Arsenal to chase. Meanwhile Morgan Rogers is still on the table, Sandro Tonali is edging closer, and Deschamps is telling Barcola to sort his club future before the World Cup. Plus: Myles Lewis-Skelly is staying, Yildiz is off the shopping list, and a €100m midfielder just entered the frame.

Leandro Trossard is heading for the exit, Arsenal's head of sports medicine has been shown the door, and the big transfer questions are getting thornier. Morgan Rogers has practically told Man Utd he'd love to join them, Álvarez's agent says nobody has called, Gibbs-White is in the frame, and 16-year-old Jeremy Monga is one signature away. Your Tuesday morning Arsenal catch-up.

The World Cup kicks off in three days — and Arsenal's shopping list just got more crowded. Barcola moves closer to the Emirates, Alvarez faces a Barcelona blockade, Tonali gets a boost, and Mbemba wants north London. Your Monday morning briefing is here.

Arsenal's transfer window is getting crowded. A teenage PSG defender is the surprise new name on the shopping list, Chelsea have gate-crashed the Morgan Rogers pursuit, the Álvarez and Kroupi situations are still live, and the Gunners' internationals are busy in World Cup warm-ups.

Arsenal's summer is heating up fast. An £80m bid for Morgan Rogers is reportedly being lined up, PSG dropping out of the Kroupi race hands the Gunners a boost, Nathaniel Brown looks to be slipping away to Bayern Munich, Mourinho has his eyes on Calafiori, and Saliba gets the green light from France's manager ahead of the World Cup.

Arsenal's winger shopping list just got longer. Rafael Leão has been offered to the Gunners at €50m, Jeremy Monga has chosen Arsenal as his destination, and Saliba's injury picture is sharpening ahead of France's World Cup opener. Meanwhile Arsenal officially confirmed 15 players leaving the club at the end of June.

Arsenal's summer is picking up pace. Atletico Madrid are now preparing for life without Julian Álvarez — which is the biggest transfer green light the Gunners could have asked for. Morgan Rogers remains the leading winger target, but the competition is fierce. Plus, sixteen players are heading to the World Cup, William Saliba has a worrying injury update, and the new season dates are locked in.

The summer window is now fully open — and Arsenal's to-do list is already long. Arteta's contract extension is the board's top priority, Piero Hincapié's permanent deal is confirmed at €52m, and the club is chasing Julian Álvarez hard even as Barcelona push back with their own big bid. Plus: Real Madrid want Declan Rice, the outgoings list is taking shape, and Morgan Rogers is reportedly open to a move to the Emirates.

The confetti has settled and the summer begins. Arteta calls for Arsenal to be 'ambitious, fast and smart' in the transfer window; Real Madrid reportedly eye Declan Rice — but Rice fires back with 'lock in or get locked out.' Transfer targets, Arteta's contract extension, and a farewell to Katie McCabe.

North London turned red yesterday — half a million fans lined the streets for the Premier League trophy parade, even as the sting of Budapest remained fresh. Declan Rice vowed Arsenal will be back. Gabriel posted his thanks. And as Arteta heads into his review, Dani Olmo name is already surfacing as the summer begins.

Arsenal lost the Champions League final to PSG on penalties — Gabriel's decisive miss the cruellest of endings. Havertz put us ahead, Dembélé levelled from the spot, and after 120 minutes it came down to a shootout. Eze and Gabriel missed. We wake up as Premier League champions — the parade is today, 2pm, Islington. Come and celebrate what this group has done.
