We’ve been revisiting all our exclusive stories from the last four months and have compiled a list of every player Arsenal are currently targeting.
Arsenal goalkeeper targets
Charlie Setford
While Arsenal are currently well-stocked in the goalkeeping department, Aaron Ramsdale faces an uncertain future at the Emirates and they may need a replacement.
TEAMtalk understands that the Gunners have been looking closely at 19-year-old goalkeeper Charlie Setford, who came through the academy at Ajax.
Defenders Arsenal are reportedly chasing
Waldemar Anton
Jurrien Timber and Takehiro Tomiyasu are currently on the sidelines and Arsenal could dip into the market for a defender in January.

Ousmane Diomande
Since joining Sporting Lisbon in January 2023, Diomande has established himself as one of the best young defenders in the world.
Ten midfielders linked with Arsenal transfer
Douglas Luiz
Luiz has been one of Aston Villa’s standout performers this season and Arsenal have a long-standing interest in the Brazil international.
Joao Palhinha
Palhinha nearly joined Bayern Munich in the summer, but he returned to Fulham after the deal collapsed on transfer deadline day.

Ruben Neves
TEAMtalk understands that Neves wants to return to the Premier League in January and the door is open for him to make a six-month loan move.
Alongside Newcastle United, Tottenham and AC Milan, Arsenal are also extremely keen on the Al-Hilal midfielder.
Arthur Vermeeren
Vermeeren helped Royal Antwerp win the Belgian Pro League title in 2022/23 and has also caught the eye in the Champions League this season.
Sources have indicated to TEAMtalk that Arsenal are taking a keen interest in the 18-year-old Belgium international, and he is viewed as a long-term midfield partner for Declan Rice.
Georgiy Sudakov
Sudakov is a key player for Shakhtar Donetsk and has attracted interest from Juventus, Manchester City, Chelsea and Brighton.
TEAMtalk revealed that Arsenal have also been monitoring the 21-year-old for a while, dating back to their scouting of Mykhailo Mudryk.

Arsenal have tapped into the Brazilian market in recent seasons, signing Gabriel Martinelli from Ituano in 2019 and Marquinhos from Sao Paulo in 2022.

Kalvin Phillips
Phillips has been deemed surplus to requirements by Manchester City and looks set to leave the Etihad in the January transfer window.
TEAMtalk understands that there is a real interest in the England international from Arteta, but it remains to be seen if City will sell him to a rival club.
Adam Wharton
Wharton is regarded as one of the biggest talents in the Championship and TEAMtalk revealed that Arsenal have watched the Blackburn midfielder in 2023.
Naj Razi
Despite only making a few first-team appearances for Shamrock Rovers, Razi is attracting scouts from Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City, Celtic and Real Madrid.

Victor Osimhen
After spearheading Napoli’s charge to the Serie A title in 2022/23, Osimhen established himself as one of the best strikers in the world.
TEAMtalk understands that Arsenal could rival Chelsea for his signature as Arteta and Edu both want to bring the Nigeria international to the Emirates.
Dusan Vlahovic
Vlahovic snubbed Arsenal to join Juventus in January 2022, and he has since struggled to replicate his best form in Turin.

Pedro Neto
Neto enjoyed an impressive start to the 2023/24 season and TEAMtalk can confirm that Arsenal’s recruitment team have identified him as an ideal addition to the squad.
