Arsenal is making significant moves in the transfer market as they aim to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. The Gunners are reportedly in talks to sign Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga and are also tracking Genk's young midfield sensation Konstantinos Karetsas.

Kepa Arrizabalaga: A Potential Backup for David Raya

According to Sky Sport Italia, Arsenal has opened discussions to bring Kepa Arrizabalaga to the Emirates Stadium. The Spanish goalkeeper, who spent last season on loan at Bournemouth, has no future at Chelsea despite being the world's most expensive goalkeeper transfer when he moved from Athletic Club in 2018 for £71.6 million. Arsenal is looking to secure Kepa as a backup to David Raya, especially after Neto's loan from Bournemouth expired and the club failed to sign Espanyol's Joan García, who is joining Barcelona. Kepa could be available for as little as £5 million.

Konstantinos Karetsas: The Next Midfield Prodigy

In addition to Kepa, Arsenal is also interested in Genk's 17-year-old midfield prodigy Konstantinos Karetsas. The Greek international has impressed this season with three goals and four assists in 39 appearances, helping Thorsten Fink's side win the Belgian Pro League. Karetsas' transfer is expected to cost around €45 million, and there is a possibility that he could be loaned back to Genk for the 2025-26 campaign.
