It’s possible that Arsenal will not be able to sign one of their top targets until the summer transfer window opens. To this point in the transfer window, the Gunners have not completed the signing of any new players. Mikel Arteta is still busy assessing his team and thinking about possible additions as the Premier League season approaches.
Jeremie Frimpong is one of the players rumored to be joining Arsenal. Speculation has swirled for months that the Gunners are interested in signing the defender from Bayer Leverkusen. A recent development, however, makes it seem like Frimpong may not be transferred anytime soon. The wing-back is currently not in talks to leave Leverkusen, claims Fabrizio Romano.
Before deciding on his future with a club, Frimpong will concentrate on how he performs at Euro 2024. He is now a member of the Dutch national team and had an impressive substitute appearance in their recent victory against Poland. Because of his dedication to his national team, he will most likely not make a transfer until after the tournament.
Frimpong has interest from other clubs as well as Arsenal. Other clubs interested in the 23-year-old include Liverpool and Manchester United. Rumor has it that Frimpong’s contract has a £35 million release clause that might be up later this summer. Because of this, speculation about a possible move in the next weeks has intensified.

Frimpong was an integral part of Leverkusen’s championship-winning, unbeaten team last season, which they won by defeating Bayern Munich. In 47 games played for all competitions, he had a goal and an assist per game. Under Xabi Alonso’s tutelage, he showed his flexibility by playing right defense and right flank.
Since Arteta is now assessing his team, Arsenal’s transfer plan may be impacted by the delay in acquiring Frimpong. Until Frimpong finishes his national duty, the Gunners may have to think of other choices or wait. The pressure on Arsenal to move quickly is increased by the interest from other Premier League clubs.
Arsenal supporters will have to wait a little longer as the club deals with the complicated transfer market. Plenty of time remains for change before the summer window closes. If Arteta brings in any new players, he will probably make sure they fit in well and help the club achieve its objectives for the next season.
Arsenal’s pursuit of Jeremie Frimpong is a game of waiting. He has already committed to playing for the Netherlands in Euro 2024. So any move won’t happen until after the tournament. Further complicating matters is the fact that other teams may be interested in signing him, and his release clause may have already expired. Arsenal must be nimble and ready for everything that may happen during the transfer window.

This summer, Arsenal hopes to strengthen their midfield by signing Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United. Arsenal is reportedly planning to launch a player-plus-cash deal to acquire the gifted midfielder, according to Football Transfers. While it’s obvious that the Gunners need a new midfielder, nobody knows who they’re signing. Though they had shown interest in Guimaraes and other players recently, Arsenal seemed to be primarily targeting Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi.
