Arsenal has begun planning its 2025 transfer schedule.

Edu Gaspar, the club’s sports director, and his recruitment staff had a successful summer transfer window, spending less than £100 million on five important new arrivals to the Emirates.

To Arteta’s delight—who has also been unlucky in terms of their fitness—David Raya, Riccardo Calafiori, Mikel Merino, Neto, and Raheem Sterling all signed contracts to join Arsenal.

Due to a strange injury he sustained while traveling with Italy for international duty, Calafiori is also doubtful for Arsenal’s upcoming north London derby against Merino, who is expected to be out for about two months.

The bright side is that Sterling, who joined on loan from Chelsea, is set to make his Premier League debut for the Gunners this weekend against Tottenham.

Because of the unavailability of Merino, Rice, and possibly club captain Martin Odegaard, Arteta may choose to play Kai Havertz in midfield and use Sterling as a false nine when against Spurs.

Arsenal, Hagerty, and Wolfe

Edu and the transfer staff of the club are still working on plans to bolster Arteta’s roster in the coming year, while the head coach of Arsenal considers how best to prepare his team for important matches in the coming weeks.

According to rumors, former Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot has even contacted Arsenal in his search for a new team. It’s thought the title contenders already have certain players on their transfer want list for 2025.

Arsenal has already been in communication with RB Leipzig over a potential trade, and they may make a move for the striker next summer. Sesko plays for the Bundesliga team. Alphonso Davies, whose contract expires in January, is allowed to explore summer moves to overseas teams as early as January. Arsenal is reportedly considering making a pre-contract bid for Davies.

Arsenal and Ajax’s Jorrel Hato are having lengthy internal discussions.

The Athletic claims that Jorrel Hato, an Ajax talent, is also being targeted by members of the team. Given Hato’s true potential, it is thought that Arsenal has had in-depth internal discussions about signing the midfielder, who is expected to fetch a fee of approximately £86 million from suitors.

Arsenal, Hato, and Ajax

The 18-year-old is seen as one of the most intriguing up-and-coming players in the Netherlands and started 33 Eredivisie games for Ajax last season. The teenage center back, Hato’s best mate at Ajax, young goalkeeper Tommy Setford, joined Arsenal in the summer and is a huge fan of Jurrien Timber.

Hato stated, via The Athletic, “Coaches told me that I always needed to look up to Virgil van Dijk, but when I played in the under-18s, I always looked up to Jurrien Timber.”

Before he went, I played with him for six months, and I gained a great deal of knowledge from him. He was my mentor when I joined the first team. I adore his serenity on the ball and his style of play. Additionally, he simply excels as a defender.
