Arsenal are expected to act quickly and decisively in the upcoming summer transfer window. Gunners sporting director Andrea Berta and manager Mikel Arteta have already identified the areas of the squad that need improvement once the window opens on June 15.
Arteta made it clear after the Champions League final defeat to PSG last weekend that they must recruit well in order to defend their Premier League title next term and go one step further in securing their first European title.
Josh Kroenke, the son of Arsenal’s billionaire owner Stan Kroenke, has echoed that ambition in recent weeks. And, according to reports, he could hand the Gunners a sum potentially exceeding last summer’s record £250million outlay in an effort to maintain their success.
Morgan Rogers’ transfer stance
Morgan Rogers is reportedly open to leaving Aston Villa this summer as he continues to be linked with an Arsenal move. The Gunners are keen on the England World Cup star as they looked to bolster their attacking options.
Rogers, 23, has become Villa’s best player over the past few seasons, meaning they are unlikely to want to part ways with the midfielder, especially given that they will play Champions League football again next season.
But, in a major boost to Arsenal’s prospects of landing the former Manchester City talent, The Athletic reports Rogers believes it is the right time for a fresh challenge. Despite this, he is not actively pushing for a move away just yet and Villa could demand up to £100m for their talisman, meaning a deal isn't necessarily straightforward.

Arsenal are reportedly in talks to sign teenager Jeremy Monga from Leicester City. Monga, 16, made his Premier League debut as a 15-year-old during his breakthrough 2024/25 season, making him the second-youngest player to do so after Ethan Nwaneri at the time.
He made 30 appearances across all competitions for the Foxes this term while racking up over 1,000 minutes of senior football. Monga has also signed his first professional contract, which will take effect when he turns 17 in July. But it is expected he will move on this summer, given Leicester’s relegation to League One.
Arsenal are one of several teams interested in the promising winger, and per the Evening Standard, it's being suggested they've won the battle. They have reportedly opened talks as they look to land his signature, though he could cost them between £10m and £15m.
