Following their long-awaited title win in the Premier League, Arsenal has entered the transfer market to strengthen their squad. The Gunners' main signing is 28-year-old Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, whose £75 million transfer has been officially completed.

Projected Arsenal lineup for the 2026/27 season

  • Goalkeeper: David Raya – the owner of the Golden Glove for the past three seasons remains a steadfast first choice in goal for the team.
  • Right-back: Jurrien Timber – the Dutchman edges out Ben White thanks to his physical presence and ability to join in attacking plays.
  • Centre-backs: William Saliba and Gabriel – the core defensive duo. Saliba will miss the season's start due to injury, with Arsenal valuing the Frenchman at €150 million amid interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona.
  • Left-back: Riccardo Calafiori – the Italian will take on the left flank amidst competition from Piero Incapie.
  • Declan Rice – a crucial player in the Gunners' midfield.
  • Bruno Guimaraes – the new signing, who has inked a deal until 2030, will add strength and creativity to the centre of the pitch.
  • Martin Odegaard – the Norwegian continues as the main orchestrator of Arsenal's attack.
  • Bukayo Saka – will occupy the right flank despite a minor Achilles injury.
  • Christos Tzolis – the 24-year-old Greek winger, acquired from Brugge for a record €40 million for the Belgian league, will be a key option on the left following Leandro Trossard's departure.
  • Victor Djorakesh – the Swedish striker will continue in his role as the spearhead of the Gunners' attack.
