Arsenal continue to track Rafael Belinho’s progress

Arsenal are understood to be monitoring Dinamo Zagreb forward Rafael Belinho, who is viewed as one of the more promising young attackers in his age group.

The teenager has drawn attention from across the continent, meaning Arsenal would likely face strong competition if they decide to pursue a move.

Any potential transfer would also be shaped by timing, with Belinho still some distance away from being eligible for a Premier League switch.

Arsenal receive encouragement over Julian Alvarez situation

Speculation around Julian Alvarez has resurfaced amid suggestions that the forward is not entirely settled in his current role.

Arsenal are believed to be among the clubs keeping a watching brief as they assess attacking reinforcements ahead of the summer window.

While no move appears imminent, the situation has been noted as one to watch as Arsenal plan their next steps.

Arsenal finalise Maldini Kacurri departure

Arsenal are set to complete the permanent departure of young defender Maldini Kacurri, with the move marking another piece of January business.

Kacurri has already made his first-team debut for Arsenal and now takes the next step in his career away from the Emirates. The agreement includes future protections for Arsenal should the defender progress further.

Arsenal scouts impressed by Pio Esposito

Inter Milan striker Pio Esposito has emerged as another forward being watched closely by Arsenal. The young attacker is understood to have made a strong impression during a recent European fixture, prompting further internal discussion.

Arsenal’s interest reflects an ongoing search for long-term solutions in the striker position. Esposito is now one of several names under consideration as the club evaluates its attacking options.
