Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and the club hierarchy are expected to start stepping things up in the transfer market with the new Premier League season drawing ever closer

Arsenal are yet to make a signing this summer but speculation over transfer activity is beginning to ramp up.

The Gunners have spent heavily in the past two summer transfer windows as they bid to prise the Premier League title out of Manchester City's grasp and Mikel Arteta is expected to be backed heavily again after another fine season.

It's believed Arteta is in the market for another central midfielder and attacking reinforcements, although the Spaniard has already missed out on one top target with Benjamin Sesko opting to stay at Red Bull Leipzig.

Arsenal are expected to be active in the market, though, so with that in mind, Mirror Football rounds up all the latest transfer news from in and around The Emirates...

The versatile defender, 22, caught the eye for Italy in their Euro 2024 campaign prior to their exit and has been heavily linked with the Gunners in recent weeks.

A new report from The Mail has now claimed that talks with Bologna over a fee for Calafiori are set to take place this week with Arsenal to get him on board before they head off on their pre-season tour of the United States.

Bentley, 30, joined Wolves from Bristol City back in January 2023 and has made five Premier League appearances in total for Gary O'Neil's side.

The Gunners have already signed David Raya on a permanent basis after he impressed on loan last season but, as per The Athletic, Bentley is also of interest. His arrival could signal the end of Aaron Ramsdale's spell at the club, with the England international expected to depart this summer.
