Arsenal 'pushing' to complete £26m bargain transfer as Edu finds Martin Odegaard competitor

Arsenal look set to be in a four-way summer transfer battle for one of the Bundesliga's rising stars in the hopes of building on from a potential Premier League title win. With the March international break close to reaching its conclusion, focus firmly shifts back onto domestic action with the Gunners set to contest ten proverbial cup finals in from April 1 until May 28 in their title battle against Manchester City.

Regardless of whether or not the 2022/23 season ends with silverware for Arsenal, Mikel Arteta and Edu likely already have a clear idea of who they will be targeting in the summer. A top midfielder seems to be the main priority with West Ham star Declan Rice as the number one target, football.london understands.

Across the pitch, it is not exactly clear what positions desperately need upgrading with Arsenal well-stocked in quality and depth after a successful January transfer window. After missing out on key targets in Mykhailo Mudryk and Moises Caicedo, who both received multiple offers from north London, Leandro Trossard and Jorginho were instead the duo signed by the league leaders.
