After three consecutive seasons only won the runner -up, Arsenal decided to spend nearly 200 million pounds for a team revolution. This ambition plans are aimed at building the optimal forces to get to the peak of the Premier League after many years of waiting.
The Summer Arsenal transfer list 2025
The appointment of Arsenal Andrea Berta as a sports director is considered the most important push in the transformation of the North London team, at least in terms of transfer.
The Gunners have 6 closed contracts, including goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, midfielder Martin Zubimendi, Christian Norgaard, winger Noni Madueke, striker Viktor Gyokeres and center -back Cristhian Mosquera.
The total amount that Arsenal spent this summer is 184 million pounds. But the Gunners have not stopped, and that number can exceed the £ 200 million threshold if they buy more Eze.
Arsenal optimal squad season 2025/26
In the goal, David Raya was almost firmly captured after an excellent season. But the fact that Arsenal recruits Kepa Arrizabalaga means the Spanish goalkeeper will have a new competition in the 2025/26 campaign
In the center of the defense, Mosquera will increase the depth of the squad, but the cooperation between Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba will be difficult to be divided. Therefore, if Riccardo Calafiori is healthy, the favorite quartet of coach Mikel Arteta will be Timber – Gabriel – Saliba – Calafiori.
The midfield will be the area to witness the great change of Arsenal. Zubimendi has appeared and will match with Declan Rice and captain Martin Odegaard in the middle of the yard.
In the attack, Gyokeres will naturally have a capacity in the center. The two wings will be Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli. Meanwhile, Madueke or Kai Havertz, Leandro Trossard will have to wait for opportunities from Pista.
The friendly results of Arsenal in the summer of 2025
Arsenal closed the friendly season with a 3-0 victory over Bilbao at the Emirates Cup 2025. After 5 friendly matches, Arsenal won only 2, drew 1 and lost 2. It is important that coach Arteta can use and test a lot of rookies. Thereby helping them get used to the system and shorten the adaptive time.
Arsenal's schedule of 2025/26 season
Arsenal's first match schedule is really heavy when they will have to meet MU, champion Liverpool, Man City and the “oval horse” last season, Nottingham. On the day of launching, Arsenal will have to show strength soon when he has to encounter MU – the club also shops very strongly in the summer of 2025. After that, Arsenal will return to the Emirates to meet Leeds and march to Anfield. If it is not possible to achieve good achievements in the first 3 matches in August, Arsenal will face many tough challenges when in September, because Nottingham and Man City are willing to have joy right away.
Review Arsenal's ranking 2025/26
The three seasons of Arsenal are the hope of rising and then broken at decisive moments. For coach Mikel Arteta, the feeling of “almost” has become the biggest obsession since he accepted to lead the London club. Now, Arteta desires to overcome this seemingly impossible door threshold.
In order to make the desire into reality, the representative of North London made a team revolution. Coach Arteta has noticed inherent weaknesses exposed through many seasons: the dependence is too big on a main squad. When the pillars like Saka, Saliba and Rice appeared on the field, Arsenal was an almost perfect machine, smooth and powerful operation.
However, when they were injured or tired due to the dense schedule, the team's quality decreased. The absence of only an important link often makes Arsenal “deviate”. Therefore, coach Arteta needs a thick squad with flexible players, where the difference in class between the main player and the reserve is erased to the minimum.
During a press conference in Singapore, the Spanish strategist shared: “With the development trend of modern football, the players have to play 70, 75 matches per season. Our ultimate goals, like other big clubs, is to build a squad that is so deep when looking at it, you can not guess who will play in the next match. Thu, we will reach the desired destination “.
Thus, instead of existing “team A” and “Team B”, the goal of the 43 -year -old military leader creates two “team A” with the same power. The number of more than £ 200 million is not a random idea, but allocated to strategic goals that have been clearly defined, in order to thoroughly solve the outstanding problems. The focus of this plan is Gyokeres, a comprehensive, powerful and scary goalscoring center, promising to bring a direct attack plan that Arsenal lacks. In addition, Madueke with speed and mutations, will be the perfect counterweight to reduce the load for Saka.
To consolidate the middle line, Zubimendi, an intelligent anchor midfielder and excellent pressing will provide control and balance. Along with that are important depth additions such as center -back Mosquera, experienced midfielder Norgaard and goalkeeper Kepa. A total of 184 million pounds invested so that each position on the pitch has at least two high quality players, realizing the philosophy of rotating, instant replacement.
With these quality additions, Arsenal's squad will be completely restructured. Mikel Arteta will hold the incredible tactical flexibility, easy to switch between systems such as 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 without weakening strength. As a result, Arsenal not only deals with the harsh schedule in the Premier League and the Champions League, but also makes opponents difficult to find ways to overcome.
However, the challenge is not small. The pressure from the huge amount of money will be on the shoulder of Arteta and the students. The management of a dressing room with many stars and ensuring all are satisfied is a complex psychological problem. But up to now, everything is still happening in the right direction of Arteta and the club leadership.
The big question now is that with such a towering transfer fee, is it enough for Arteta to usurp Liverpool and success in the Champions League or this will be just an expensive stepping stone in the journey to find the unfinished glory? Only time can answer, but one thing for sure, Arsenal is ready to enter the new season. In the context that MU is far from returning to the inherent position, Pep Guardiola's Man City is “struggling”, Chelsea invests heavily but it takes time to stabilize, Arsenal is still the most formidable opponent of the King Liverpool in the race to the Premier League championship.
