Bradley Barcola is set to sign for Arsenal after Aston Villa reaffirmed that Morgan Rogers is not for sale. The Birmingham outfit have made it clear to interested clubs that they will not welcome any bids for their star man.
What happened to Morgan Rogers' transfer?
Aston Villa's decision to keep Morgan Rogers has led Arsenal to focus on Bradley Barcola. The Gunners were leading the race for Rogers' signature, but any chance of signing him now appears to be over.
Why Bradley Barcola is a top target
Bradley Barcola was unable to force himself into PSG's starting XI towards the end of the season. Football Insider revealed that the Champions League holders are prepared to let Barcola leave this summer.
What comes next for Bradley Barcola?
Now that Liverpool have shifted focus to other targets, Arsenal have been given the green light to accelerate a move for Barcola. This move feels inevitable, with Barcola potentially becoming the Gunners' first major signing of the summer.
The 23-year-old winger has already impressed in the 2026 World Cup, having scored past Senegal. Despite his limited game time last season, Barcola still netted 11 Ligue 1 goals.
Who else are Arsenal looking to sign?
Football Insider has exclusively revealed that Arsenal are also looking to sign Jeremy Monga this summer transfer window. Preliminary talks have been held between the player's camp and the Gunners, with a full agreement edging closer.
Monga is highly rated at Leicester, and Mikel Arteta will be hoping that he can reach his potential at the Emirates. Arteta has a clear aim to upgrade his winger department, and Barcola could be the man to do so.
The transfer window is set to be an exciting one for Arsenal, with Barcola and Monga potentially joining the squad. The Gunners have already made one summer signing, with Piero Hincapie making a permanent switch to the Emirates.
On the pitch, Barcola has shown his skills, and if these were transferred to the Premier League, he could become a real asset. The winger's ability to score goals and create chances will be a valuable addition to the Gunners' attack.
As the summer transfer window heats up, Arsenal fans will be eagerly waiting to see if Barcola will join the squad. With his impressive skills and experience, he could be a great signing for the Gunners.
