All Arsenal Transfers Completed 2026/27

Arsenal enter the 2026/27 season for the first time in over two decades as reigning Premier League champions, and the challenge now shifts from winning the title to defending it.

Mikel Arteta’s side beat Manchester City in a title race that went down to the wire, despite a disappointing campaign in Europe, losing in the Champions League final on penalties.

With a team already regarded as one of the strongest in the division, Arteta is not expected to oversee any major changes this summer, but all title-winning sides need to freshen things up to avoid stagnation.

The Gunners are reportedly in talks to sign Newcastle star Bruno Guimaraes for £80m, who would immediately become their second biggest signing of the window.

Here, Football FanCast tracks all of Arsenal’s confirmed signings and moves for the 2026/27 campaign.
