Arsenal ‘deal sealed’ as Mikel Arteta considers activating Premier League release clause…

Arsenal has finalized a deal as Mikel Arteta contemplates triggering a Premier League release clause.

The latest updates and transfer speculations surrounding Arsenal come as they prepare to wrap up their season against Southampton.

With just days remaining in the campaign, the Gunners are set to face Southampton away from home in their final match.

Following their victory over Newcastle United, which secured them second place, Arsenal enters the summer with the understanding that improvements are necessary.

The expectation for a Premier League title this season was not met, and the team has ended the season without any trophies.

As Mikel Arteta seeks to address the team’s deficiencies, we have compiled the latest news and transfer rumors related to the Emirates Stadium.

The deal for Jorginho is complete. Arsenal is aware that they will bid farewell to a key player this summer, as Jorginho prepares to leave upon the expiration of his contract.

The midfielder has played a significant role for the Gunners in recent years, providing leadership and experience.

However, at 33 years old, he will not be offered a new contract and is set to return to Brazil on a fast track.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Jorginho will not only join Flamengo on a free transfer but will also be eligible to participate in the FIFA Club World Cup this summer, despite the tournament starting before his contract typically takes effect on July 1.

Romano tweeted: ‘Jorginho will play the FIFA Club World Cup as a Flamengo player after receiving the green light from Arsenal. Deal sealed.’

There were concerns that Jorginho might miss the remainder of the season, but he has returned to action, having come off the bench over the weekend. Eze is on Arsenal’s radar.

The club is reportedly interested in acquiring Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, who netted the winning goal in the FA Cup final on Saturday.

According to GiveMeSport, Arsenal is looking to join the competition to acquire Eze, who is expected to attract interest from several elite clubs this summer.

Reports suggest that Eze has a release clause set at approximately £68 million, and his ability to perform at the highest level is evident.

The Gunners may face challenges in finding the right position for the England international, as they already have Martin Odegaard occupying the number 10 role, but they could consider deploying Eze on the wing.

Manchester City and other clubs have also shown interest in Eze, who recently triumphed over them in the final.

After the match, Eze shared his thoughts with BBC Sport, stating: “I couldn’t breathe! City maintains possession exceptionally well, and you have to exert considerable effort to gain any advantage.

When you find yourself in their penalty area, it’s crucial to capitalize on the opportunity.

I’ve come a long way, and being in this position now is difficult to articulate.” He continued, “This is a remarkable moment; I struggle to find the right words.

I am grateful, as only God could have made this possible. Competing against a team that has been the best in the world for years and demonstrating such spirit and energy… that is solely due to God.”

Regarding Arsenal’s summer strategy, Mikel Arteta stated that their plans are already in place.

Following the victory over Newcastle United, he remarked: “The plan is established, and the timing will depend on various factors that are beyond our control.

However, we have excellent individuals overseeing this process, and they will collaborate with the board and ownership.

Additionally, we must ensure that our current players feel appreciated and valued, fostering an environment where they are eager to remain with us.

It is essential that we create an atmosphere of excitement from the very beginning of the season, and I will be adamant about achieving that.”
