Arsenal are hoping to sign “both” Bradley Barcola and Morgan Rogers this summer, according to reports.

The Independent claims there is a scenario where the two players end up at the Emirates before the transfer window shuts in August.
It is believed that the Gunners are doing their due diligence before making their move for Barcola.
Reliable journalist Fabrice Hawkins has previously claimed that his club, Paris Saint-Germain, would demand close to €130m (£112m) for the France international
That figure could potentially be negotiated down to £100m, but there is still a chance that Barcola could eclipse the club’s record transfer, which currently stands at the £105m paid for Declan Rice in 2023.
What about the club’s plans for Rogers?
Multiple sources have said that the England international is prioritising a move to Arsenal over other suitors such as Chelsea and Manchester United.
Rogers will not be available on the cheap, and while some have suggested that Aston Villa may accept a bid of around £80m, it would not be a surprise if he ends up being sold for a fee closer to £100m.
The pair could cost a combined £200m, and that raises questions about how Mikel Arteta’s side will fund the deals.

Arsenal need to make sales
The Gunners have a number of first-team players who are effectively on the transfer list. Gabriel Jesus has a year left on his contract, and an asking price of £20m has been slapped on the Brazilian.
Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Martinelli and Christian Norgaard all have deals that also expire in 2027, so it is almost certain that offers will be considered for the trio.
Ben White, Ethan Nwaneri and Kepa Arrizabalaga are said to be available too, so if enough money can be raised from these departures, it might be enough to then make moves for Barcola and Rogers.
