Arsenal are hoping to build on their second placed finish in the Premier League and mount another title bid next season.
The Gunners finished just two points behind eventual champions Manchester City and are expected to bolster their squad once again this summer. Arsenal spent big on Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber last summer and could make some more major signings.
Several players may also be on their way out of the Emirates, with Mikel Arteta and sporting director Edu also needing to raise funds. With all that in mind, here is the latest transfer news from Arsenal.
19 stars released
Arsenal will release 19 players this month, with midfielder Mohamed Elneny and full-back Cedric Soares among those set to depart.
Goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo, who spent last season on loan at Wrexham, is another notable name on the list. Mauro Bandeira, Omari Benjamin, Luis Brown, Catalin Cirjan, Noah Cooper, Henry Davies, Ovie Ejeheri, Taylor Foran, Hubert Graczyk, James Hillson, Henry Jeffcott, Tyreece John-Jules, Alex Kirk, James Lannin-Sweet, Kamarni Ryan and Kido Taylor-Hart have also been released.

Arsenal have said they remain in talks with Amario Cozier-Duberry, Karl Hein and Reuell Walters over new deals, but Mirror Football reported last month that the 19-year-old defender is expected to leave.

Arsenal are in the market for a new striker and Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport are reporting that Napoli's Victor Osimhen believes they will attempt to sign him.
Osimhen is expected to leave Napoli this summer and club president Aurelio De Laurentiis is set to demand any interested parties pay the forward's €130million (£110.7m) release clause. A number of other Premier League clubs have also been linked with Osimhen.
However, the report adds that clubs from the Saudi Pro League are also interested in Osimhen and that the player would welcome an approach from the Middle East.

Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior remains on the radar of AC Milan, according to a report from Foot Mercato.
The report states that Milan are huge fans of the Poland international, who has been on their radar since his time at fellow Serie A side Spezia. Kiwior joined Arsenal from Spezia in 2023 and he is under contract until 2028.
Milan are said to have made an approach for Kiwior during the January transfer window, but were rebuffed by Arsenal and it remains to be seen whether the Gunners will be willing to let him leave this summer.
