The 2025\u201326 campaign is the club\u2019s 100th consecutive year in England\u2019s top flight, making them the first team to reach that milestone. Mikel Arteta\u2018s side started this year still dealing with the fallout of a messy 2024\u201325 season, but have since rebuilt with real purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Even after back-to-back losses heading into April cut their trophy chances from four down to two, the Gunners handled the pressure. Kai Havertz grabbed a stoppage-time winner against Sporting CP in Lisbon on 7 April, giving Arsenal a 1\u20130 win in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. Now, the Emirates is ready for the second leg next week, with the tie leaning heavily in Arsenal\u2019s favour.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arsenal want Eduardo Camavinga<\/h2>\n<p>With that sense of ambition returning, summer transfer targets are already starting to emerge. Reports from Sky Sport CH, via the Mirror, suggest Real Madrid are open to selling Eduardo Camavinga if they receive a sufficiently high offer, with the Spanish giants reportedly seeking \u00a370 million for the 23-year-old Frenchman. Camavinga joined Madrid from Rennes in August 2021 and has played over 200 times for the club. (Via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailystar.co.uk\/sport\/football\/mikel-arteta-real-madrid-transfer-36982767\">Daily Star<\/a>)<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How has the midfielder performed?<\/h2>\n<p>So far in the 2025\u201326 season, he has made 35 appearances, putting up 2 goals and 1 assist over 1,865 minutes of football. His last year was a struggle, though; a torn adductor tendon in April 2025 ended his season early and kept him out of several major finals. The way the Frenchman bounced back this year shows he has plenty of grit, even if he is still more of a rotation player at the Bernab\u00e9u than a guaranteed starter.<\/p>\n<p>Saliba gets 6\/10 \u2013 Arsenal Player Ratings from first leg victory against Sporting CP<\/p>\n<p>The report claims Camavinga\u2019s agents have reached out to both Arsenal and Liverpool about a move to England, while Saudi Arabian clubs are also keen. The two Premier League teams are said to be leading the race, though the player himself isn\u2019t actually looking to leave Real Madrid right now.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scorzo\u2019s Take<\/h2>\n<p>On paper, Arsenal\u2019s interest in Camavinga is easy to understand. He has the exact profile Arteta likes, as the midfielder is physically strong, technically gifted, presses hard, and can drive the ball forward. But there\u2019s a problem: Camavinga\u2019s recent form doesn\u2019t quite match that \u00a370 million price tag. He spent a large chunk of 2024\u201325 out of favour in Madrid before that serious injury made things worse, and his 2025\u201326 numbers, while consistent, haven\u2019t been world-class.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal planning summer transfer for stunning Barcelona star \u2013 Arteta would be delighted to sign \u00a355m attacker<\/p>\n<p>Spending \u00a370 million on someone who has spent two years trying to find his rhythm is a massive gamble for Arsenal, especially since they already have Martin Zubimendi, Mikel Merino, and a locked-in Declan Rice. More importantly, the simple fact that Camavinga doesn\u2019t want to leave Madrid should make Arsenal think twice. You rarely get the best out of a player who has to be talked into joining. Arsenal need a midfielder who is all-in from day one, not someone being pulled away from a club he still loves.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Why is Real Madrid\u2019s stadium called Santiago Bernabeu?\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Jwtn1G9OidA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arsenal are at a truly fascinating point in their history.
