Arsenal has its sights set on Michael Kayode, a 22-year-old Italian right-back, with plans to sign him in the upcoming month of January. The Arsenal transfer market will focus on enhancing rotation and fulfilling Mikel Arteta's final wishes.

According to CaughtOffside, Arsenal's board is tracking the reports on the Italian international, facing a minimum demand of 60 to 65 million euros set by his club to start negotiations.

Contractual conditions at Brentford and his emergence with the Italian national team

The 22-year-old defender joined Brentford in 2025 from Fiorentina for 17.5 million euros, renewing in July 2026 a contract until June 2032 with an option for an additional season. His market value is around 40 million euros on Transfermarkt, boosted after scoring 1 goal in the 4-1 victory against Turkey in the Nations League.

Coach Keith Andrews considers the full-back essential in his setup; hence, the board rejects his mid-season departure for less than 60 million euros.

The intense competition between Arsenal, Liverpool, and Serie A suitors

Arsenal's interest in adding athleticism to their defensive lines aligns with Liverpool's priority to strengthen their defense in 2027. Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United, along with Juventus, are monitoring in the Premier League, exploring his return to Italian football.

Arsenal's technical department has not made a formal proposal or direct contacts, keeping the operation in the technical analysis phase.

Arsenal's financial viability for the winter transfer fee

Arsenal's board is studying budgetary plans to accommodate a 65 million euro investment in the winter transfer window. The strong contractual stance of the selling club requires a high-impact financial offer if they aim to finalize the move before the summer market.

The London club's executives trust that the project's sporting appeal will persuade the player to push for his transfer. Arsenal's scouts will personally attend Michael Kayode's matches in the Premier League during November and December 2026.

If Liverpool and Juventus prepare a proposal before the year's end, Arsenal will swiftly act to try to pre-empt and secure the signing of the Italian right-back in 2027.
