Arsenal transfer news LIVE: Updates on Antoine Semenyo, a £39m bid in the works, and the latest claims surrounding Viktor Gyökeres.

Here’s a roundup of the latest Arsenal transfer developments as the Gunners prepare for another hectic day, with fresh updates emerging.

It’s a demanding festive schedule for Arsenal, who are juggling a packed run of fixtures alongside preparations for the January transfer window. Mikel Arteta’s side will sit top of the Premier League at Christmas, but attention quickly turns to the Carabao Cup, with a quarter-final clash against Crystal Palace on the horizon.

With matches coming thick and fast over the coming weeks, Arteta will need to carefully manage his squad. Transfer activity is expected to come into sharper focus in January, following a summer in which Arsenal invested close to £250m in new signings.

The club may look to offload certain players during this period, while continuing to monitor emerging talents who could strengthen the squad in the long term. Young prospects Ayyoub Bouaddi and Konstantinos Karetsas have reportedly caught the attention of Andrea Berta as Arsenal assess potential future additions.

With that in mind, here’s the latest round-up of Arsenal news and transfer updates.

Gabriel Jesus latest

Mikel Arteta has offered a positive update on Gabriel Jesus’ fitness, hinting that the forward could be in line for his first start of the season after recovering from injury.

Arteta said: “Yes, he’s ready. You can see it not just in matches, but every day in training—how much he wants it. He’ll earn his opportunity very soon.”

Antoine Semenyo latest

According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, Arsenal are among the clubs monitoring Antoine Semenyo’s situation, although any serious move is more likely to happen in the summer rather than January.

Speaking to NBC Sports, Ornstein explained: “Liverpool are known admirers of him, though they haven’t pushed as hard yet—something that could change depending on the Isak injury situation. Tottenham were also keen and willing to offer a substantial wage, but Semenyo is currently focused on other options, particularly Manchester City or Manchester United. Arsenal may have assessed the situation with a view to the summer, but I don’t think he’s prepared to wait that long.”
