View Arsenal summer 2026 transfer targets
Arsenal have decided to keep goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga next season despite recent transfer interest from Serie A clubs.
The Spaniard signed for the Gunners from Chelsea last summer after the club triggered a £5 million release clause in his contract.
Arrizabalaga went on to make 12 appearances for the Premier League champions, starting in the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City.
A number of Serie A clubs, including Juventus, have been linked with Arrizabalaga recently, but it seems he may not go anywhere.
Arrizabalaga had a £5m release clause in his Arsenal deal which expired on July 15, and Arsenal are now in a strong position to keep him.
Barring a sizeable transfer bid, the Gunners are preparing for the new season with Arrizabalaga as David Raya‘s deputy in goal.
Arsenal recently signed Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier on a free transfer, but he is only considered the third-choice option.
There is a good possibility that Tommy Setford could be loaned out.
