Arsenal Highjacked Chelsea Top transfer target to sign £120m most dangerous attacking prospect in Europe, Medical team on Standby to welcome Arteta’s 7th signing of the season

In a stunning twist to the summer transfer saga, Arsenal have officially hijacked Chelsea’s top transfer target, beating their London rivals to the signing of a player widely regarded as the most dangerous attacking prospect in Europe. The Gunners have reportedly agreed a deal worth £120 million, with the player set to become Mikel Arteta’s seventh signing of the summer.

According to sources close to the Emirates, Arsenal moved swiftly and decisively overnight, convincing the player’s camp with a clearer long-term vision, guaranteed game time, and Arteta’s personal involvement in the negotiation. The deal, once expected to be sealed by Chelsea, now looks set to be one of the biggest coups of the window.

The club’s medical team is already on standby, with the 21-year-old attacker expected to arrive in London within hours to undergo medical tests before the official announcement is made.

Speaking at the press conference earlier today, a visibly delighted Arteta dropped a strong hint about the incoming star:

> “We are working to bring in players who match our ambition—players who can change games and make the difference at the top level. We believe this player has everything we are looking for.”

The explosive forward, who has lit up European football with his pace, flair, and clinical finishing, was high on Chelsea’s priority list this summer. But Arsenal’s late push — which included a lucrative financial package and a guaranteed starting role — ultimately swung the decision in their favour.

Fans have already begun buzzing across social media, calling the move a “masterclass” and praising Edu and Arteta for their aggressive and focused transfer strategy this summer.

With six signings already announced and a seventh on the way, Arsenal are sending a clear message: They’re not here to participate—they’re here to dominate.
