William Saliba transfer ‘interest’ emerges as Arsenal get £100m blockbuster deal update

The latest Arsenal transfer news and rumours amid growing speculation on Real Madrid-linked William Saliba and Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala.

Arsenal will be hoping to take advantage of several transfer opportunities in the coming years, while preventing other clubs from poaching star assets. The Gunners have made great strides towards becoming one of the best teams in Europe through smart recruitment but, with that, comes the threat of other top clubs taking an interest.

The likes of Bukayo Saka, William Saliba and Martin Odegaard have come on leaps and bounds since getting into the senior team. Though Arsenal are now competing for trophies, they are yet to win the major titles under Mikel Arteta and, with that, there will always be concern that other clubs will see it as an opportunity to take their best players if they can ‘promise’ them a better pathway to silverware.

The aforementioned trio have all recently signed new contracts to stay at the club, but that does not necessarily mean they are completely against leaving. Realistically, though, only the likes of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and potentially Manchester City would have the capacity to sign a top Arsenal star.

Saliba is one name being heavily mooted across Europe – with the 23-year-old in the conversation as being the best central defender in the world. However, the Gunners will also be able to sign players from those four clubs with Jamal Musiala as one name already emerging of interest.

So, with all that being said, we have rounded up the latest Arsenal transfer news and rumours, while also providing our inside take on those whispers currently doing the rounds;
