Arsenal Transfer Rumours

Considering Arsenal’s status as one of the biggest clubs in the world, fans online are likely to be inundated with so much rubbish to pile through when looking to get their latest fix of transfer rumours.

As football fans ourselves, we here at the Transfer Tavern know exactly how painful it can be when trawling through the various outlets to impose upon our feeds, so we’re trying to help. Indeed, on this page, we’ve created a one-stop-shop for ALL things Gunners when it comes to the transfer market.

Here, you’ll find all you need to know; breaking rumours, the latest gossip and opinions and reactions in equal measure for anything to do with the Emirates Stadium giants. 

Arsenal Transfer Records

Over the course of the summer of 2019, Arsenal shocked the world by splashing out what will turn into £72m on Nicolas Pepe to finish off a frontline that already included £56m January addition and club-captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, £42.5m World Cup winner Mesut Ozil and £47m French striker, Alexandre Lacazette. 

Indeed, it’s probably safe to stay that, despite some relatively frugal years during the club’s move to their current home from Highbury, those behind the scenes are now willing to (although some fans may claim its not enough) to fund improvements at the top end of the pitch. 

Elsewhere in the first-team, Granit Xhaka and Shkodran Mustafi represent £30m+ investments and the recent signings of Kieran Tierney, William Saliba and Gabriel Martinelli point to a promising future again. 

Famous Arsenal Transfers

The aforementioned attackers aside, Arsenal certainly have a proud history when it comes to buying talents in the transfer market. Indeed, the likes of Thierry Henry, Cesc Fabregas, Nicolas Anelka and Robin van Persie were all brought to the club for relatively low fees before turning into legends of the game and moving on for profit.

Still, they have had their fair share of duds. After all, who could forget THAT January move for Kim Kallstorm back in 2014 while they sat atop the Premier League. Even now, that decision looks utterly ridiculous… 

In recent years, the decision to swap Alexis Sanchez for Henrikh Mkhitaryan didn’t really work out for anybody at all but the bargain swoop of Matteo Guendouzi suggested those behind the scenes were getting the club’s transfer mojo back.  

Biggest Arsenal Stories 

Over the years, the Gunners have been strongly rumoured with major moves for the likes of Julian Draxler, Gonzalo Higuain and William Carvalho, so fans online will be no stranger to protracted sagas ahead of this summer and the following January. 

With the Gunners primed to embark on their journey under Mikel Arteta ahead of his first full season in charge, many names are likely to be linked with a move there. Amid the kind of defensive problems endured by the Spaniard during the early stages of his career, expect defenders and holding midfielders aplenty to be linked…
