Arsenal have been active in this summer transfer window, completing the signings of three players so far.

The Gunners are expected to complete their fourth piece of incoming transfer business with the signing of Noni Madueke from Chelsea. The 23-year-old has agreed to personal terms and signed a five-year contract with Arsenal, in a deal valued at around £50 million including add-ons.

After then, Arsenal will still have until September 1 to complete more deals. Signing a striker is also among the priorities this summer.

With that said, football.london brings you the latest headlines from in and around the Emirates.

Gunners 'structure' Eberechi Eze deal

According to Fabrizio Romano on his YouTube channel, Arsenal prefer to negotiate the terms of a deal for Eberechi Eze rather than triggering his £68m release clause. The 27-year-old midfielder has been strongly linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium this summer.

The report states that the Gunners are still in contact with Eze’s representatives as they seek a solution. It’s also said that aldeal for Madueke won’t affect Arsenal’s pursuit of the Crystal Palacestar.

football.london says: Keeping costs at a minimum makes sense for Arsenal in order to comply with the Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR). Given the club have already completed three transfers with another one pending, negotiating the terms of a deal for Eberechi Eze rather than simply triggering his release clause makes strategic and financial sense.

But whether Palace will be keen to accept these terms is another matter.

Ethan Nwaneri update

Romano has also provided an update on the contract situation ofEthan Nwaneri. He claims Arsenal have held positive talks with the youngster's camp regarding a new deal.

The 18-year-old midfielder, whose current deal at the Emirates Stadiumruns until next year, has recently been linked with a surprising move to Chelsea.

The report states that the Gunners have outlined a clear plan for Nwaneri withinMikel Arteta’sproject, emphasizing their trust in his future role.

Arsenal’s management is said to be increasingly confident that an agreement with the teenager will be reached 'very soon.'

football.london says: This represents a significant boost for Arsenal, especially given growing interest from Chelsea. Nwaneri is one of the most highly-rated prospects to emerge from the academy in recent years, and securing his future sends a strong message about Arsenal's commitment to nurturing young talent.

Retaining homegrown players is not only a source of pride for the club, but also a key part of building a sustainable and competitive squad for the future. Allowing a promising talent like Nwaneri to join a direct rival - particularly one like Chelsea, would have drawn criticism from fans and raised questions about the club’s long-term vision.

With Arteta at the helm, Nwaneri can continue to develop in an ideal environment.
