They beat Leeds United 4-1 last time out at the Emirates Stadium. Here is a look at some of the latest transfer news and rumours coming out of the club...

Midfielder eyed

Arsenal are being linked with a summer move for Brighton and Hove Albion starlet Alexis MacAllister. The Gunners could see the 24-year-old, who won the World Cup with Argentina in Qatar in December, as someone to bolster their midfield department ahead of next season.

According to a report by TyC Sports (via The Mirror), the London club are ‘eyeing’ a transfer bid for the highly-rated former Argentinos Juniors man. However, there will be competition for his situation with rivals Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United also mentioned as potential suitors.

Porto starlet linked

Porto starlet Pepê, who can play on the wing or at full-back, is reportedly on Arsenal’s radar at the moment. Mikel Arteta’s side are said to be keen on luring him to England, as reported in Portuguese paper A Bola (via Sport Witness) but other unnamed teams around Europe are also believed to be in the frame.

The 26-year-old joined his current club in 2021 from Gremio in Brazil and has scored 11 goals in 79 appearances in all competitions since then. He is under contract until June 2026.
