Although Arsenal have not yet officially revealed the name of their latest signing, reports from sources close to the club strongly suggest that the mystery player could be none other than Ángel Di María.
At 37 years of age, the World Cup–winning Argentine winger is still widely regarded for his creativity, technical brilliance, and wealth of experience at the highest level. Should the deal be confirmed, Di María’s arrival would inject both flair and maturity into Arsenal’s frontline, offering manager Mikel Arteta a valuable weapon in his pursuit of silverware.
The agreement, said to be worth around £90 million including performance-related add-ons, was finalized after several days of difficult negotiations. Such a significant investment underlines Arsenal’s determination to push beyond domestic success and compete with Europe’s elite in the Champions League.
It also emphasizes the club’s willingness to build around an already strong core that features Viktor Gyökeres and Eberechi Eze, two players who have become crucial to the team’s attacking identity.
Arteta is believed to have played a decisive role in pursuing the signing. According to insiders, the Spaniard personally insisted on bringing the Argentine to the Emirates, convinced that his winning mentality and versatility could elevate Arsenal to a new level.
The move adds to an already impressive summer transfer window in which the Gunners have strengthened significantly with acquisitions such as goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, midfielder Martin Zubimendi, and winger Noni Madueke. This latest capture further signals the club’s ambition to assemble a squad capable of challenging on all fronts.
Unsurprisingly, the news has generated an outpouring of excitement among Arsenal supporters. Social media was quickly flooded with enthusiastic reactions.
One fan wrote on X, “£90m for a World Cup hero? Arteta is really building something special!” Another exclaimed, “This is huge for Arsenal. We’re putting together a team to dominate!” The sense of anticipation is clear, with many supporters dreaming of seeing Di María’s creativity combined with Arsenal’s young talents in key matches throughout the season.
The player is scheduled to undergo his medical today, with the official unveiling expected to follow shortly afterward.
Behind the scenes, the transfer is being credited to sporting director Andrea Berta, whose tireless efforts in the market have ensured Arsenal stay ahead of their rivals. Still, questions remain about how Arteta will balance such a star-studded lineup, as managing egos and ensuring tactical cohesion will be critical for sustained success.
As Arsenal gear up for a crucial Premier League clash against Liverpool and prepare to embark on their Champions League journey, this signing sends a loud and clear statement: the Gunners mean business.
Should Di María indeed put on the famous red and white jersey, fans will dare to dream of a season filled with glory, memorable performances, and possibly the return of major trophies to the Emirates Stadium.
