Here is the latest Arsenal transfer news and speculation as there are now reports that the Gunners are very much interested in signing Tino Livramento from Newcastle United this January window, and he would be interested in a move to the Emirates according to reported Iomie Stanley
Livramento, 21, left Stamford Bridge in 2021 after failing to agree terms on a new contract, eventually signing for Southampton. Since then, the defender has gone from academy talent to Carabao Cup winner, England U21 standout, and Newcastle first-teamer under Eddie Howe.
The ex-Chelsea full-back has continued to flourish this season under Howe, despite some dodgy performances from the Toon, and his performances have now reportedly caught the attentions of Mikel Arteta.
The Sun now report that ARSENAL are keeping tabs on Livramento ahead of a potential summer swoop, and they are reportedly ready to try and fend off Man City for a possible deal for the England star.
Stanley told icfootballnews: ‘Arsenal are firmly in the Premier League title conversation, leading their rivals at the top of the table and competing across multiple fronts this season. Moving to a club regularly challenging for league titles, domestic cups, and potentially the Champions League gives Livramento a higher chance of winning silverware — something Newcastle aren’t as consistently positioned to offer yet.
‘*ARSENAL* manager Mikel Arteta values versatile, attack-minded defenders, and Livramento matches that profile. He is comfortable playing both as a right and left full-back — a trait Arsenal particularly appreciate given injury issues and rotation needs.
‘Livramento’s style — quick, aggressive in defense, and adept at supporting transitions — suits Arsenal’s proactive build-up play. Under Arteta, that could help him refine his tactical game even further.
‘Regular high-level football at Arsenal could help Livramento’s England ambitions. National team managers often select players who perform in big matches and maintain visibility at the top end of the Premier League. Playing for a title-challenging side would make his England call-ups more likely and help cement his place among the country’s top full-back options.
‘A switch to ARSENAL would bring Livramento Increased global exposure through European competitions, A platform to showcase his skills at the highest level, and a chance to develop under a high-profile coaching staff with experience nurturing England internationals.
‘Newcastle value Livramento highly and see him as an important part of their plans, so any transfer would come with a significant fee (reportedly around £60m).
But from Livramento’s perspective, not committing to a long-term Newcastle extension yet — as he’s left his future in his agent’s hands — signals he might be open to considering new opportunities if the right club comes calling.
‘For a young defender looking to maximize his potential and legacy in the game, the Emirates Stadium presents a compelling proposition — provided Arsenal can clinch the deal amid strong competition.’
