Arsenal and Andrea Berta stance is clear as Liverpool, Chelsea and Man Utd complete transfers

The transfer window has been open for just four days but Premier League clubs are not waiting around.

Manchester City have agreed a deal to sign Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan, while discussions are ongoing with Lyon for Rayan Cherki. Chelsea are pushing ahead with moves for Liam Delap and Jamie Gittens, while Manchester United have confirmed the arrival of Matheus Cunha and hope to bring in Bryan Mbeumo.

The deals of the big six have left Arsenal supporters on edge with complaints that the club are not moving quickly enough in their deals while rivals get to work aggressively.

Furthermore, concrete discussions are understood to be ongoing regarding a potential move for RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko.

Arsenal have desires to strengthen the wide area, defence and the back-up goalkeeper position. Work is also needed regarding outgoings with the futures of Oleksandr Zinchenko, Fabio Vieira, Reiss Nelson and Albert Sambi Lokonga needing a resolution.

The club are calm and football.london has been told by sources that there is confidence internally that Mikel Arteta’s side will be in a much stronger position for the start of the Premier League season. With both Chelsea and Manchester City involved in the Club World Cup, there is certainly more urgency from them to complete deals before the June 10 deadline.

Arsenal's confidence comes from Berta's work. There is no doubt that there is pressure on Arsenal this summer. If they experience a similar window to 2024 instead of 2023, then fan sentiment could reach an all-time low, especially after Josh Kroenke reached out to fans in the final home matchday programme of the season, speaking of confidence and investment in improving the squad.

Arsenal and Arteta cannot be left short for the start of the season. But with well over 30 days until players return for pre-season training and close to two weeks more than that until the team fly to Asia for their pre-season tour, time is on the club’s side – the need for panic is far from justified.
