Arsenal transfer news: Viktor Gyokeres closes in on move as Martin Zubimendi joins

Arsenal are set for a huge summer in the transfer market as Mikel Arteta looks to add plenty of reinforcements to his squad. The Gunners have finished second in the Premier League for the past three seasons and will be desperate to go one better next season.

They have already signed a backup goalkeeper in Kepa Arrizabalaga and a new midfielder in Martin Zubimendi, but plenty more additions are expected before the window closes on September 1.

Several players have also left the club, with Nuno Tavares and Marquinhos making loan deals permanent, while Takehiro Tomiyasu reached an agreement to terminate his contract 12 months early.

Here, Mirror Football takes a look at all the latest transfer news and rumours from in and around the Emirates...

Zubimendi joins

Martin Zubimendi has finally completed his move to Arsenal, with the Gunners paying slightly more than his £51m release clause.

Arsenal have forked out £55m for the midfielder in order to secure more favourable payment terms, with Zubimendi agreeing a five-year deal that runs until 2030. "This is a huge moment in my career," the Spain international said.

"It's the move I was looking for and one I wanted to make. As soon as you set foot here, you realise how big this club and this team are. I set my sights on Arsenal because their style of play is a good fit for me. They have shown their potential recently and the best is yet to come."

Gyokeres closes in on move

Arsenal are close to agreeing a deal for Viktor Gyokeres after advancing in talks with Sporting Lisbon.

Although Arsenal and Sporting have yet to agree a transfer fee, Gyokeres has already agreed personal terms with the Gunners and made it clear that he wants to move to the Emirates this summer.

Sporting are holding out for a deal worth around £70m, with at least £60m paid up front, and Arsenal are understood to be pushing hard to reach an agreement with the Portuguese champions.

Madueke agrees personal terms

Arsenal have received a major boost in their pursuit of Chelsea star Noni Madueke after they agreed personal terms with the winger, according to a report from the Athletic.

However, it is claimed that Arsenal and Chelsea have not begun talks yet, with the Gunners considering moves for a number of other wide options. Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca was recently asked about Madueke's future and said: "My message to the players and to the club is that I want just players that are happy to be with us.

"The ones that are not happy, they are free to go. It's not for Noni, it's for all the players we have. But again, Noni has been very good during the season and very good tonight."
