Here is a roundup of the top Arsenal news, gossip and transfer latest from icfootballnews featuring the likes of Rodrygo, Ben White and Arda Guler that you guys may have missed…
Here is the latest Arsenal transfer rumours that have hit the headlines today, as fresh reports have again claimed that the Gunners have submitted an opening bid worth €60m (£52m) for Real Madrid forward Rodrygo.
According to recent reporting, the 24-year-old has taken the significant step of preparing a definitive departure from Real Madrid, engaging in discussions to appoint a new super-agent to help manage and accelerate a move away from Spain.
Sources claim Rodrygo and his camp believe this fresh representation will be crucial to unlocking a transfer next summer — or potentially even during the ongoing January window.
A Change of Heart at Real Madrid
Rodrygo’s situation at Real Madrid has been under intense scrutiny for months. The Brazilian’s role under coach Xabi Alonso has been inconsistent, with limited starts and reduced influence in key fixtures — particularly following the emergence of other attacking options and tactical shifts that have squeezed his minutes.
This diminished role has reportedly caused frustration for the forward, who is keen to play regularly to maintain a spot in Brazil’s national setup — especially with the 2026 World Cup looming. Choosing to move on could offer Rodrygo the platform he believes he needs to reignite his career at a club where he would feature as a definitive first-team star.
ARSENAL are said to view Rodrygo as an upgrade on Gabriel Martinelli. with Spanish publication Fichajes claiming an offer has now been made. Arsenal are facing competition from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal.
Real Madrid are yet to respond to the bids, but are believed to value the Brazil international closer to €100m (£87m).
What This Means for January and Beyond
At present, a January move for Rodrygo — particularly for a player of his calibre — remains complex but far from impossible. Real Madrid may hold firm on their valuation or opt to accept bids only in the summer, but the player’s clear intent to seek a new challenge adds significant weight to the rumour.
For ARSENAL, landing a player of Rodrygo’s quality would represent a statement signing and a signal of intent in the transfer market — but if Real Madrid stand firm, the move might be one that unfolds later in 2026 rather than in the immediate window.
ARDA GULER WANTED
ARSENAL have been linked with a January move for Arda Guler in recent weeks, and fresh reports in the media have claimed that the Gunners are still interested in signing the talented young player.
Guler was signed by Madrid just a few windows ago in hope that he could be the next big thing for the club, he came to the Spaniards with alot of hype, however there has been alot of speculation that he could be on his way out of the club.
Guler has struggled to get the game time that he has been wanting under Carlo Ancelotti and had been spending alot of the time on the bench, but that changed under Xabi Alonso and the attacker managed to get a few more minutes

But now that Alsono has been let go by the Spanish giants, it has been claimed on the Daily Star that Arda Guler may be open to the idea of leaving Madrid if he is dropped back down to the bench by acting boss Alvaro Arbaloa..
IcFootballnews View…
Guler is a very exciting talent that is at one of the biggest clubs in the world, he has to work hard and be patient for that chance he desires, which has been coming. But even though he may not want to leave in January, the right offer will geta deal done.
Football is all about money and if ARSENAL do want to splash that cash and try to get a transfer deal done for the Spaniard, then they will. They have one of the best squads in Europe, But Mikel Arteta knows that Guler is a player that could be one of the best.
However – we are not sure that a move will happen this January window, and Guler may decide to move at the end of the season if he struggles for game time.
BEN WHITE TO FORCE MOVE?
Ben White would jump at the chance to join Liverpool from ARSENAL should the Reds look to strengthen their defence in the January transfer window, according to Danny Murphy.
The versatile defender has been a crucial part in the Gunners’ development under Mikel Arteta but he has been reduced to a bit-part role over the course of the last 18 months.
That has led to speculation in the media that he could be one player that departs the Emirates, and White has been linked with a move to Everton in the last 24 hours, but reports suggest that Arsenal do not want to sell.
However – amid that speculation – Murphy believes the player might force his club’s hand were *LIVERPOOL*to register interest – He told BoyleSports: ‘Ben White to Liverpool would make sense but ARSENAL might not want to sell to a rival.
‘It would depend on how adamant the player is that he wants to go. If Ben White was an option, I think that would be a good option for Liverpool.
‘I think he’s a really good footballer, he’s a big lad. Yes, he’s had a couple of injury problems recently, but he’s an experienced guy, he’s played a lot of games and he can play centre-back and right-back.
‘The obvious good thing for Liverpool would be in that negotiation, if that was something that was to materialise, would be that any player would rather go to Liverpool than Everton, I’m not saying that because I’m a Red, I’m saying that because Liverpool are competing for the Champions League, you know, still in the top four, still in the FA Cup.
‘Whereas Everton are obviously out of the FA Cup, they’re not competing for European competitions.
‘I wouldn’t see why if LIVERPOOL were keen, then why he wouldn’t try and force that move, having said that I’d find it strange to think that Arsenal would let him go. Or they might just think they’re too far ahead of Liverpool anyway, so we’ll have to see how that plays out.’
