Arsenal set to secure their first summer signing or Pep Guardiola keen on player who just won the Bundesliga... will be the latest transfer news today, May 17th.
Arsenal is close to finalizing their first summer signing.
According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Arsenal is very close to completing a deal with left-back Ferdi Kadioglu from Fenerbahce.
Tavolieri stated that sources close to the player have confirmed that negotiations with him are "ongoing" with hopes of reaching an agreement on personal terms.
However, nothing has been agreed with Kadioglu yet, and Arsenal has not officially opened negotiations with Fenerbahce, but the Gunners are optimistic that a deal could eventually be reached.
Arsenal has been in contact with several players in various positions in recent months, but it's understood that a new left-back is a top priority for Arteta.
Football London reports that Arsenal could be willing to pay up to 25 million euros (£21.5 million) to lure Kadioglu to the Emirates and bring in fresh competition for the left-back position.

According to HITC, Manchester City has established contact with defender Jeremie Frimpong of Bayer Leverkusen. The Premier League giants are negotiating a feasible deal as they want to add him to their squad ahead of the upcoming season.
Jeremie Frimpong began his career at Manchester City before leaving the club to seek playing opportunities. After a short stint at Celtic, he signed with Bayer Leverkusen in the winter transfer window of 2021. Since then, he has emerged as a phenomenon at the German club.
Frimpong has played a crucial role in Bayer Leverkusen's success this season. He has appeared in 44 matches, scoring 14 goals and providing 12 assists.
Manchester City's interest in Jeremie Frimpong is understandable, especially as Kyle Walker is nearing the end of his career. While replacing an experienced player won't be easy, Frimpong - a former City player - has shown excellent potential to fill that role.
Inter Miami's head coach has declined the opportunity to sign another Champions League winner.
Speaking to the Miami Herald, Martino ruled out the possibility of recruiting PSG goalkeeper Keylor Navas in the summer - who, like Di Maria, will also become a free agent at the end of the season.
Having won the Champions League three times, Navas has made over 100 appearances for both PSG and Real Madrid in his career. However, despite the Florida connection, the Costa Rican international will not be joining Inter Miami.
Martino stated: "Keylor Navas is an excellent goalkeeper with an outstanding career, and I want to make it clear, because there have been various names that have appeared in recent weeks, but at this time we are not considering that, as there are still two months until the next transfer window opens."
Arsenal is eyeing another "Erling Haaland" prospect.

The future of Xavi in the position of Barcelona coach is said to be in doubt as the club's board of directors is reportedly angered by the latest comments from the Spanish coach.
"This is a very difficult and complex time. Previously, just saying 'I want to sign this contract' would make everything happen quickly. But now it's not like that anymore. We don't have the same conditions as other clubs, teams with better financial conditions," Xavi said in a press conference before the match against Almeria.
According to Barcelona journalist Helena Condi Edo, president Joan Laporta and part of the club's leadership are very upset with the comments from the 44-year-old strategist; some close to Laporta even demand the president to fire their coach before the 2024/25 season
