All the latest Arsenal transfer news in one place, including updates on Ferran Torres, Josh Nichols and Eli Kroupi.

Arsenal eye Torres

Arsenal have been "alerted" to the possibility that a "shock" Barcelona exit of Ferran Torres could be on the cards, TEAMtalk claims.

The Catalans are splashing the cash this summer, having just acquired Anthony Gordon from Newcastle for €80 million. They are also intent on signing Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez and making Marcus Rashford's loan from Man Utd permanent.

As a result, Torres' future at the club is "increasingly uncertain." The fact that he has been offered to Atleti as a makeweight for Alvarez has left him "frustrated." With "growing doubts" over his position, clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea have begun to monitor his situation.

PSG barge into Kroupi race

Eli Kroupi

PSG are getting serious about their interest in Bournemouth forward Eli Kroupi, L'Equipe reports.

The French giants have "positioned" themselves for the signing of the 19-year-old, but there is an acknowledgement that it will be difficult to convince Bournemouth to do business. The Cherries do not want to lose Kroupi this summer.

The French attacker has also emerged as a target for Arsenal and Man Utd after his breakout debut season in the Premier League, which saw him score 13 goals in just 1,700 minutes.

Nichols completes surprise move

Arsenal youngster Josh Nichols has completed a surprising free transfer move to NK Kustosija.

The 19-year-old has decided to join the Croatian club after failing to break into the first team. He made his senior debut in 2024, but did not play at all in 2025/26. Kustosija have just been promoted to the second tier in Croatia.

While it is an eyebrow-raising transfer at first glance, it does make sense upon closer inspection. The Zagreb-based club have made a name for themselves as talent developers, and they have close ties to influential Croatian agent Andy Bara.

Nwaneri wants out

Ethan Nwaneri

Como are interested in Arsenal youngster Ethan Nwaneri, who has significant game time concerns, TEAMtalk writes.

The teenager is coming off a disappointing six-month loan at Marseille during which he was heavily criticised for his performances and attitude by coach Habib Beye and the French press. Despite this, Arsenal still rate Nwaneri highly.

However, the player himself is said to harbour concerns over his Gunners future. He struggled for minutes in the first half of the season, and Arsenal's plans to strengthen their side this summer will only diminish his prospects of game time further.
