Arsenal eye Real Madrid star as Eberechi Eze concerns emerge
Arsenal have enjoyed a busy summer so far, with six players making the move to the Emirates ahead of another Premier League title challenge. Arsenal have finished second for the past three seasons and will be desperate to win the league this season. Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke, Cristhian Mosqura, Christian Norgaard and Kepa Arrizabalaga have all been brought in to strengthen Mikel Arteta's squad, while several fringe players have departed. Nuno Tavares and Marquinhos have been sold to Lazio and Cruzeiro respectively, while Jorginho, Kieran Tierney and Thomas Partey have been released. An agreement was also reached to terminate Takehiro Tomiyasu's deal a year early. Plenty more incomings and outgoings are expected before the transfer window slams shut and Mirror Football has taken a look at all the latest news and rumours from in and around the Emirates...

It is claimed that Real Madrid are open to selling Diaz this summer, with new manager Xabi Alonso informing the player that he would only have a 'secondary role' next season if he remained at the Bernabeu. The report states that Arsenal, AC Milan and Fenerbahce are all weighing up a move for the 24-year-old, while Saudi Pro League sides Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal and Neom SC are said to be willing to pay around €40m (£35m) for Diaz. Arsenal are one of several clubs interested in Brahim Diaz (Image: Alex Caparros) Arsenal have been warned that Liverpool's interest in Marc Guehi could scupper their move for Eberechi Eze. Arsenal are expected to make a move for Eze once they have offloaded some players, with the England international said to be keen on a move to the Emirates. However, Liverpool are interested in Eze's Crystal Palace teammate Guehi and that could complicate the situation. Palace are unlikely to sanction the exits of two key players this summer, although Liverpool are currently focused on their attempts to sign striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle. Arsenal are targeting a move for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze (Image:) Tottenham boss Thomas Frank has backed Christian Norgaard to be a success at Arsenal, having managed the midfielder at both Brentford and Brondby. When asked about Norgaard's move to Arsenal, Frank said: "It was a little emotional. I've known him since he was 15. He's 31 now and I've been training him for 12 years so I can say that I've known him for a pretty long time. "This is the first time I've played against him. He played for me more than 300 games and it was a bit strange to see him on the other team. He's a top player and I can understand why Arsenal went for him. I'm so happy that he got this great opportunity late in his career." Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.

A humid evening in Singapore, and the Arsenal players are going through their final warm-ups before a pre-season clash with Newcastle. One of the first to take to the pitch is a lean, focused teenager, barely old enough to start his GCSEs who is already attracting curious glances from veterans and coaches alike. Max Dowman, just 15, is a name Arsenal fans had only heard whispers of, shared clips of, but one they will soon come to know well.

James Milner will wear number 20 at Brighton in memory of Diogo Jota
James Milner will wear the number 20 shirt at Brighton this season in memory of the late Diogo Jota, describing his former Liverpool team-mate as a 'great friend'. The Portuguese forward died aged 28 last month in a car crash, alongside his brother Andre Silva, just weeks after helping Liverpool clinch Premier League title glory. Liverpool have retired the number 20 jersey worn by Jota in his five seasons at Anfield, three of them alongside Milner before the veteran England midfielder moved to Brighton in the summer of 2023. The lowdown on our new 25/26 numbers… 💬 — Brighton & Hove Albion (@OfficialBHAFC) August 1, 2025 With Carlos Baleba opting to have 17 on his back ahead of the 2025/26 campaign and vacating 20, Milner, who has been Brighton's number six, has swooped in to pay a touching tribute to Jota. 'Once I heard Carlos was looking to change his number and 20 was available, I wanted to do it as a mark of respect and pay tribute to Diogo Jota,' Milner said on the club's X channel. 'He was an amazing player who I was fortunate to play with and a great friend as well. 'It will be a great honour to wear his number in the Premier League this year.' Milner – whose contract was extended by Brighton in June for another season, which will take him past his 40th birthday – was among a number of Jota's former team-mates who attended his funeral in July.
