Madueke is capable of playing on both flanks, though he is most commonly used on the right. His versatility will offer Arteta additional tactical flexibility, particularly with Bukayo Saka needing better rotation options to maintain peak performance across a demanding season. If the move goes through as expected, question marks will remain over his steep price, but it could be a shrewd piece of business for the Gunners, given Madueke’s age profile and high ceiling.

On the departure front, Leandro Trossard is reportedly close to leaving North London, with Turkish clubs showing strong interest in the Belgian attacker.

Trossard’s potential exit could open the door for Arsenal to push ahead with a deal for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze. According to Nico Schira, Eze has already given the green light to a contract that would run until 2029, with an option for a further year. Talks between Arsenal and Palace are underway as the Gunners look to agree a fee for the 27-year-old attacking midfielder.

Eze, who impressed last season with his flair and goal contribution, has long been admired by Arsenal’s hierarchy and would offer versatility and creativity in the final third.

With multiple moving parts, this transfer window is shaping up to be a pivotal one for Arsenal as they look to build a squad capable of challenging on all fronts.
