Leeds United's Archie Gray linked as a new Mikel Arteta and Edu summer target

As Arsenal prepares for the 2024/25 season, Mikel Arteta and Edu are prioritizing early transfers to build momentum. Among the potential signings is Feyenoord goalkeeper Justin Bijlow, hinting at Aaron Ramsdale's possible departure. Additionally, key players like Oleksandr Zinchenko, Emile Smith Rowe, and Thomas Partey might also exit, paving the way for high-profile acquisitions. 

To replace Zinchenko, Fenerbahce's versatile Ferdi Kadioglu is an option, fitting Arteta's tactical demands for full-backs. However, Leeds United's Archie Gray emerges as a highly promising target. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano notes Arsenal's keen interest in Gray, alongside competition from German and English clubs. Leeds' failure to secure Premier League promotion may force them to sell talents like Gray and Crysencio Summerville. Gray's potential arrival at Arsenal could bolster the squad, aligning with Arteta's strategic vision and reinforcing the Gunners' ambitions for the upcoming season.
