Here is a roundup of the top Arsenal news, gossip and transfer latest from icfootballnews featuring the likes of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Karl Etta Eyong and Ronald Araujo that you may have missed…
Arsenal are reportedly preparing to test Paris Saint-Germain’s resolve with an ambitious move for Georgian star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, according to reports circulating from sources close to icfootballnews.
The North London club are said to be exploring a blockbuster summer deal that could “break the market” as they look to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the 2026–27 campaign. ARSENAL have been strongly linked with elite attacking talent in recent transfer windows, and the Georgian winger has now emerged as a surprise name on their radar.
Kvaratskhelia only recently completed a high-profile move to Paris Saint‑Germain after establishing himself as one of Europe’s most exciting forwards during his spell with Napoli. The attacker earned widespread acclaim for his dazzling dribbling, creativity and ability to produce decisive moments in big matches.
Sources claim Arsenal believe the winger would add another dimension to Mikel Arteta’s attack, particularly with the club aiming to maintain their status as genuine title challengers in both domestic and European competitions.
Arteta has built a dynamic front line in recent seasons, but the club’s recruitment team are reportedly keen to add another elite wide player capable of changing games individually.
Kvaratskhelia’s ability to operate primarily from the left flank has drawn comparisons to some of the Premier League’s most dangerous attackers. Arsenal already possess quality in wide areas, yet the club are believed to see the Georgian international as a marquee addition who could elevate the squad to another level.
However, any deal would be extremely complicated. PSG invested heavily to bring the Georgian star to Paris and are not expected to entertain offers easily. The French champions view him as a central part of their long-term attacking project and would likely demand a huge transfer fee if negotiations were to take place.
Financially, such a move would almost certainly require ARSENAL to shatter their previous transfer record. The club’s leadership has shown a willingness to invest in major signings in recent years, but convincing PSG to sell one of their headline attackers would represent a significant challenge.
For now, the situation remains firmly in the rumour stage. There has been no indication from PSG that they are willing to part ways with Kvaratskhelia, and *ARSENAL*themselves have yet to make any official approach
ARTETA WANTS LA LIGA SIGNING
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has reportedly identified Levante striker Karl Etta Eyong as a potential attacking target, with fresh claims from Spain suggesting the Gunners are closely monitoring the Cameroon international.
According to reports relayed by ICFootballNews citing Spanish sources, Arteta is assessing the forward as a possible long-term solution in attack as uncertainty grows around the role of Viktor Gyokeres in the club’s plans.
Eyong has emerged as one of the breakout performers in La Liga this season, attracting attention from several major European clubs after an impressive start to life with Levante. The young forward joined the Spanish side in September 2025 after spells with Villarreal and Cádiz, signing a contract that runs until 2029.
Since arriving, Eyong has made an immediate impact. His performances have been a bright spot in an otherwise difficult season for the club, with the striker’s pace, aerial ability and movement earning praise from observers in Spain.
Spanish media claims suggest ARSENAL scouts have been watching Eyong regularly as Arteta evaluates potential additions to his attacking options ahead of the next transfer window. The Gunners are said to view the Cameroon international as a versatile forward capable of operating centrally or across the front line.
Interest in Eyong is not limited to north London. Premier League rivals including Manchester United and Chelsea have also been linked with the striker, while Barcelona are reported to be monitoring his development as well. The growing list of admirers highlights how rapidly the player’s reputation has risen since his move to Levante.
Eyong’s rise has been swift. Born in Douala in 2003, he progressed through youth football in Spain before breaking into professional football with Cádiz and later Villarreal. His strong scoring record for Villarreal B — including 19 goals in 30 games — helped propel him into the spotlight before his La Liga breakthrough.
He has also begun to establish himself on the international stage, earning senior caps for Cameroon and scoring his first goal for the national team in late 2025.
For ARSENAL, the reported interest reflects a broader strategy of targeting young talents with high ceilings who can develop within Arteta’s system.
BARCA READY TO LET ARAUJO LEAVE
Fresh reports claim Barcelona could be prepared to sanction a surprise sale of defender Ronald Araújo for as little as €30 million ($34.6m), according to reports in Spain, putting the likes of ARSENAL, Liverpool and Manchester United on alert ahead of the next transfer window.
The Uruguayan international has long been considered one of Barcelona’s defensive pillars, but the club’s ongoing financial pressures and desire to refresh their back line could open the door to a departure.
Icfootballnews sources suggest Barcelona would consider offers around the €30m mark, a figure that would represent a significant drop compared with the fees typically commanded by elite centre-backs.
Interest in Araújo is already building across England, with Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United all closely monitoring the situation. Each club is expected to assess defensive reinforcements in the coming months, and the availability of a player of Araújo’s pedigree at a relatively modest price has inevitably drawn attention.
Liverpool’s interest is particularly notable given uncertainty around the long-term future of key defenders and the club’s search for a potential successor to senior figures in the back line. The Reds have previously been linked with the 27-year-old as part of a broader plan to strengthen their defence for the next era.
Manchester United, meanwhile, have also tracked Araújo for some time and could revisit the possibility of a move as they look to reshape their squad under their current recruitment strategy. Previous reports have suggested the defender is viewed as an ideal addition to improve United’s defensive stability.
ARSENAL are another club believed to be attentive to the situation. Mikel Arteta’s side already possess a strong defensive unit but remain alert to opportunities in the market—especially when a high-level player becomes available at a discounted valuation.
Araújo’s future may also hinge on his role within Barcelona’s evolving squad. While he has been a regular in recent seasons, competition for places and tactical adjustments under the current coaching setup have raised questions about whether he will remain a guaranteed starter going forward.
Who would Araujo prefer to make the move too?
If a move does materialise, Liverpool may represent the most logical destination. The club’s system places a premium on physically dominant centre-backs who are comfortable defending large spaces—qualities that align closely with Araújo’s strengths.
Anfield could also offer the opportunity to become a cornerstone of a new defensive cycle, potentially succeeding one of the Premier League’s most established leaders.
Arsenal would provide Champions League stability and a well-structured defensive environment, while Manchester United might offer the appeal of a central role in a major rebuild.
However, Liverpool could be the most attractive next step for the Barcelona centre-back if he chooses to leave Spain.
