According to reports, Arsenal has compiled a shortlist of three potential summer acquisitions based on the preferences of manager Mikel Arteta, who is guiding the team to its first Premier League championship since 2004. Despite having played one more game, Arsenal currently leads Manchester City by eight points with nine games remaining in the season.
Arsenal’s coaching staff, though, is not taking things lightly despite being in a position to win their first league trophy in nearly two decades. As they get ready for their first Champions League campaign in six years, the Gunners have reportedly reduced their transfer objective for midfield to just three players.

Arsenal set to romp in midfield transfer target after making three-man list
Arsenal has a shortlist of three prospects for the central midfielder who will join the team this summer, according to Football Insider. According to reports, the Gunners prefer Amadou Onana of Everton, Declan Rice of West Ham, and Moises Kaido of Brighton. Arsenal are becoming increasingly confident about their chances of obtaining Declan Rice from West Ham in the summer.
A number of Premier League clubs, including Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea, will make an effort to entice the England international away from the London Stadium at the conclusion of the current season. Rice is anticipated to compel the Hammers, who have just two years left on their captain’s contract, to grudgingly sell him because he is desperate to test himself at a “Big Six” club.
Arteta’s #1 goal is supposedly Rice, and the club is willing to pay more than £100 million for the England international. Although there haven’t been any official negotiations between West Ham and Arsenal, it’s thought that the project at the Emirates Stadium appeals to the legendary midfielder, who has complimented Arteta’s efforts to turn the Gunners into title challengers. viewed at a distance.

Because of Moises Caido’s strong performances for Brighton in January, Arsenal and Chelsea displayed interest in him. The north Londoners made a £70 million offer for the Ecuadorian international as they looked for a new midfielder, and both teams made attempts to sign Cacedo. Caicedo expressed interest in the idea and said he would be “happy” to demand a record transfer fee.
Should Arsenal choose Kaido again, he would be more pricey but still less expensive than Rice. As a result of his recent renewal of his contract at the Amex Stadium through 2027, Arteta’s recruiting staff will need to continue where he left off in January. If Cassado is prevented from signing with them in the summer, the Seagulls are predicted to seek a transfer fee that exceeds £80 million.
Amadou Onana of Everton is a surprising selection to be included on the Gunners’ list. While Chelsea is prepared to compete with its London rivals once more for the midfielder, Arsenal is also interested in him. Football Insider claims that the Toffees are asking around £70 million for the Belgian. If the toffee runs out during this season, it might be less expensive. Given that they are now 16th in the standings and Bournemouth are 18th on the points chart, they have a real danger of being eliminated from the Championship.
