Arsenal’s transfer planning remains focused on long-term squad building, with scouting networks actively evaluating prospective midfield additions across Europe. Among the emerging targets linked with the Gunners is Elche’s 20-year-old midfielder Rodrigo Mendoza, who possesses a €20 million release clause and has drawn interest from several major European sides. Alongside potential midfield targets, Arsenal continue to monitor talent across domestic and continental leagues to address squad depth and tactical flexibility.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth face their own transfer challenges as key players attract interest from Premier League rivals. Midfielder Alex Scott has emerged on Chelsea’s radar following consistent performances in central midfield, where his movement and intelligent positioning have made him an integral part of the Cherries’ setup. However, Bournemouth hold a strong position with Scott under contract, rendering any potential mid-season negotiation difficult as the club remains determined to retain its core talent.
