Arsenal’s transfer activity continues to attract attention as Mikel Arteta and Edu monitor several emerging and established names ahead of the summer window.

With the Gunners maintaining a strong Premier League title push, the focus behind the scenes is already shifting toward long-term squad reinforcement.

Here’s the latest on Arsenal’s links with Anthony Gordon, Breno Bidon, Arda Guler, and Kenan Yildiz.

Arsenal have reportedly reignited their interest in Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon. The England international has impressed this season with his direct style, pace, and energy on the left flank, attributes that have caught the attention of Arteta and his recruitment team.

Gordon was on Arsenal’s radar last summer, though no formal approach materialised at the time. Any pursuit now appears likely to take place at the end of the current campaign, with Arsenal considering wide reinforcements to support Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.

While Newcastle are reluctant to sell, Arsenal’s sustained interest suggests they view Gordon as a potential long-term fit for their evolving attacking system.

Talks open as Arsenal make contact over Breno Bidon

Arsenal’s links to Brazilian midfielder Breno Bidon have intensified, with reports indicating that initial contact has been made with Corinthians over a possible transfer.

The 20-year-old has emerged as one of Brazil’s brightest young talents, earning plaudits for his composure on the ball and progressive passing. Bidon made over 50 appearances for Corinthians in 2025 and is viewed as a player capable of adapting to European football quickly.

While Arsenal are yet to submit an official bid, their scouting presence in South America remains strong, and the Gunners are believed to be among several European clubs monitoring Bidon closely.

Flamengo, along with clubs from Italy and Portugal, are also keen, meaning Arsenal may need to act decisively to secure his signature.

Real Madrid’s Arda Guler continues to attract Arsenal interest

Arda Guler’s name continues to circulate around the Emirates, with Arsenal reportedly maintaining interest in the Real Madrid playmaker.

The Turkish midfielder has endured a mixed spell in Spain, and recent changes in management following Xabi Alonso’s departure have reignited speculation over his future.

Arsenal are said to have made fresh enquiries in late 2025, though Guler’s entourage reiterated Real Madrid’s desire to keep him. However, doubts reportedly remain on the player’s side regarding his role under new coach Alvaro Arbeloa.

Guler, just 20 years old, is highly regarded for his creativity and technical skill, and Arsenal view him as a player who could thrive under Arteta’s possession-based structure should the opportunity arise in the future.

Kenan Yildiz expected to stay put despite Arsenal links

Arsenal’s interest in Juventus winger Kenan Yildiz appears set to be met with disappointment. The Turkish international is closing in on signing a new long-term contract in Turin, despite interest from multiple Premier League clubs including Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United.

Yildiz has become one of Juventus’ most exciting young prospects, showcasing his versatility and attacking instinct in Serie A.

While Arsenal have been tracking his situation for months, Juventus are determined to retain the 20-year-old’s services, with his renewal expected to be finalised after the January window closes. For Arsenal, Yildiz remains a player of admiration, but any move now looks unlikely in the near term.

Arsenal’s recruitment team continues to balance short-term stability with long-term vision, and the names linked in recent weeks reflect that dual focus.
