Arsenal stars were quick to react after the club confirmed yet another fresh arrival during an already busy summer at the Emirates.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Gunners have been active in the window as Mikel Arteta looks to build a squad capable of going one better next season after finishing second for the third consecutive season.<\/p>\n

Arsenal have already brought in Martin Zubimendi,<\/a> Kepa Arrizabalaga and Christian Norgaard, all of whom have joined the group for pre-season training.<\/p>\n

But the club\u2019s business isn\u2019t done yet. Football Insider<\/strong> has revealed that Arsenal are edging closer for a deal for Viktor Gyokeres<\/a>, with negotiations ongoing over potential add-ons included.<\/p>\n

Attack was a key area of concern last season, especially when both Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli were sidelined with hamstring injuries and exposing a lack of reliable depth in the forward line.<\/p>\n

Now, with their latest addition confirmed, it\u2019s clear Arsenal<\/a> are determined not to be caught short again as they strengthen for another title push.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Arsenal stars react as Noni Madueke signs from Chelsea <\/strong><\/p>\n

It was confirmed on 18 July that Noni Madueke<\/a> has officially joined Arsenal from Chelsea in a deal worth \u00a352 million.<\/p>\n

The winger marked the announcement with a heartfelt message on Instagram, writing: \u201cHumbled and blessed to be here. Thank you to everyone that made this possible. I can\u2019t wait to get on the pitch and start to repay the faith shown in me. It\u2019s gonna be so special\u2026 God is the greatest. Let\u2019s go.\u201d<\/p>\n

His new teammates were quick to welcome him as Declan Rice commented \u201cBuzzing you\u2019re here!! Let\u2019s go bro\u201d while club captain Martin Odegaard responded with heart emojis.<\/p>\n

Other familiar names also showed their support by liking the post, including William Saliba, Manchester United\u2019s Kobbie Mainoo, and Eberechi Eze\u2014who has himself been linked with a move to Arsenal.<\/a><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Madueke arrives off the back of a promising campaign at Chelsea, registering 11 goals and five assists in 44 appearances across all competitions.<\/p>\n

Despite that, Football Insider<\/strong> revealed that Enzo Maresca was open to parting ways with Madueke <\/a>due to concerns over his attitude in the dressing room.<\/p>\n

While Madueke is expected to slot in on the right flank, the Gunners remain in the market for reinforcements on the left, and have most notably been linked with Real Madrid\u2019s Rodrygo.<\/p>\n

However, they face stiff competition for his signing as Liverpool are also in the race for Rodrygo<\/a> and have already reportedly\u00a0held talks.<\/p>\n

Missing out to a direct title rival would be a major setback, though Arsenal\u2019s pursuit could hinge on the futures of both Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, which may allow Arne Slot\u2019s side to pounce on a deal before Arteta\u2019s side.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
