The window is in its final month and Arsenal might have been one of the most active clubs this summer – but that does not been they are close to being finished with their business. The Gunners would still like to add a third attacking player at least, while outgoings could change the plans for the late moves drastically.
Eberechi Eze remains the club’s primary late target, football.london understands, and the Gunners are hoping a deal could be a greed late on. However, any move is believed to hinge on player sales materialising.
The club have several surplus stars still at the club and are hoping to offload them as the market draws closer to it’s end. Jakub Kiwior, Reiss Nelson, and Fabio Vieira have drawn interest from clubs in recent weeks and could bring in vital funds that would give sporting director Andrea Berta the freedom to invest even more into the group.
Vieira is the player currently in focus with Stuttgart believed to be in talks with the Gunners over a move for the 25-year-old. The German side need to reinforce after losing Enzo Millot to Al Ahli in a €28million (£24.3million) deal.
The money brought in, however, will boost the Gunners’ hopes of securing a decent figure for Vieira. Signed in 2022 for £34million, it has not worked out for the club, but after a decent loan spell back with Porto, Andrea Berta will be tasked with recouping as much as the club can.
Should he succeed, any money that comes into the club for Vieira can be reinvested into a potential move for Eze. Crystal Palace want at least £35million up front, football.london understands, with his release clause of £67.5million thought to expired or will have done so before the start of the Premier League season.
QPR have a sell-on clause from their sale of Eze to Palace which is thought to be around 15-20%. Palace have shown some willingness to negotiate, but still want a good price for their talismanic figure who is keen on the switch to north London.
