Arsenal have agreed personal terms to secure a new signing after Andrea Berta held a meeting with the player, allowing them to become his preference over Manchester City.
The Gunners are working to bring in new additions after their impressive 2025-2026 season, which saw them lift the Premier League title.
Arsenal did, however, lose the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain last month, so they will be looking to improve their squad in order to compete on all fronts.
Their performances in the domestic cups were also a disappointment, so there's no doubt there's still room for improvement.
They certainly won't mind after lifting the Premier League title, but work is now underway to ensure they can go again.

Arsenal Agree Personal Terms
Andrea Berta
According to insider Hand of Arsenal, Arsenal have now agreed full personal terms with Leicester City winger Jeremy Monga.
The Gunners are believed to now be his full preference ahead of Manchester City after Berta held a meeting with the young talent.
Monga, described as 'special', could go out on loan in the summer transfer window, while Berta laid out a pathway similar to that of Max Dowman to try to convince him to make the move to the Emirates Stadium.
A loan move would probably be best for Monga heading into the new season. It will be interesting to see if he follows in Dowman's footsteps and is amongst the senior squad.
