Arsenal's leadership is considering signing Newcastle's top full-back Tino Livramento, currently valued at £60 million.
At the age of 23, Livramento emerged as one of the best full-backs in the Premier League while playing under manager Eddie Howe.
Livramento missed many games this season due to a hamstring injury and only returned to the pitch last week.
According to the Telegraph, Arsenal showed particular interest in Livramento before the 2026 summer transfer window opened.
This versatile full-back has just over two years left on his contract at St James' Park. This has caused concern for Newcastle, as contract extension negotiations have stalled.
According to British media reports, Livramento shares the same agent as Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta.
If the English player delays signing a new contract, Newcastle will put Livramento on the transfer market to prevent his value from depreciating.
Arsenal may have to spend as much as £60 million to convince Newcastle to release the player.
Mikel Arteta is very fond of the 23-year-old's strong, technical playing style and his ability to participate effectively in attacks.
