A week after signing a new contract with Arsenal, Gabriel Magalhaes has told the club he would “like” them to sign a Real Madrid “phenomenon.” Arsenal have been linked with a number of quality attacking options this summer.

Arsenal would also like to add a wide player. As mentioned in The Athletic’s Transfer DealSheet on May 16, the La Liga pair of Nico Williams and Rodrygo is of particular interest. Arsenal’s coaching staff are huge fans of both, but a deal for either player would present some financial challenges. There is also interest in Anthony Gordon.
