Arsenal are looking to make some serious additions to their Premier League-winning squad this summer, and new forwards are being considered.

The Gunners have already agreed to sell Leandro Trossard to Besiktas this summer, while there is strong speculation that the likes of Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus, and Ethan Nwaneri will also be allowed to leave, as Mikel Arteta looks to freshen the squad up.

But while midfield has emerged as the priority, with talks intensifying for Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes, another Brazil star has now emerged as a target at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal Eyeing Rayan Deal

According to a report by journalist Edu Burgos, Arsenal are among the clubs paying close attention to the situation of Rayan at Bournemouth.

The Brazil international, who has been described as ‘deadly’, enjoyed a stunning first half-season in England after joining the Cherries in January, registering five goals and two assists in just 12 starts in the Premier League.

His performances earned him a place in Carlo Ancelotti’s World Cup squad, and he has found himself in a starting role on the right-wing following Raphinha’s injury, including the Last 16 clash with Norway on Sunday night.

Bournemouth do not want to sell him under any circumstances this summer, but it is known that the 20-year-old has a €100m (£87m) release clause that is active from 2027, and they could be forced to consider any big offers this year.

Arsenal have held internal talks about a move for the winger, while Man Utd and PSG are also said to be showing an interest. A deal isn’t on the table at this stage, but it is looking inevitable that Rayan’s stay at the Cherries won’t be a long one.

Arsenal to Add Another Brazilian?

Arsenal are ready to make a big splash in the transfer market once again this summer as they look to retain their crown as English champions for the first time in their history.

A new injection of pace and fresh blood in the attack looks like a necessity, and a player like Rayan who is ready to explode at the highest level could be the perfect remedy, while also providing quality depth and competition for Bukayo Saka on the right.

It would be an expensive deal, but Arsenal have a great Brazilian group in their squad already, and this would almost certainly be a welcome addition.

England defeated Mexico in a five-goal thriller at the Azteca Stadium to advance to the 2026 World Cup quarter-finals, but there were a couple of casualties along the way.

First, Jarell Quansah was sent off for a high challenge on an opposition player, meaning the ex-Liverpool man would be ruled out of the next game. Then, Jordan Henderson was involved in a freak accident following the full-time whistle. The midfielder had to be taken off the pitch on a stretcher, with Thomas Tuchel quite downbeat about his condition.

But it wasn’t only a tough night for the Three Lions. Mexico became the second of the three host nations to crash out of the competition on home soil. And had they advanced to the next round, one of their bigger names would’ve likely been watching from the sidelines.

Mexico’s manager, Javier Aguirre, threw caution to the wind in search of an equaliser against 10-man England. As a result, he introduced as many attacking players as possible as the opposition soaked up the pressure.

One of those positive substitutions was bringing on AC Milan forward Santiago Gimenez for 17-year-old Gilberto Mora in the 61st minute. However, the change didn’t have the desired impact and the striker failed to get involved.

To make matters worse, Gimenez was unable to take part in the final moments of stoppage time and could be seen lying at the side of the pitch in severe pain. The 25-year-old was quickly taken to hospital after the full-time whistle, according to The Sun.

He had been chasing down the ball but was challenged by England’s Djed Spence. While the defender got the ball perfectly, Gimenez’s ankle could be seen twisting awkwardly.

He left the stadium on a stretcher and was taken to get checked over in a southern Mexico facility, as his manager confirmed: “We need to check Santi because he is at the hospital right now.”

As the players and staff enjoyed the massive win with the travelling support inside the iconic Mexican stadium, Henderson had attempted to jump back over the advertising boards when he landed awkwardly.

Medical staff rushed over to see to the unused substitute. who was then placed on a stretcher and given oxygen. Thomas Tuchel confirmed Henderson had suffered a ‘serious’ wrist injury. The extent of the knock is currently unknown, but the England boss said:

Jordan Henderson was stretchered off after suffering a freak injury following England’s historic victory over Mexico at the 2026 World Cup.

After battling past DR Congo in the last 32, England were drawn to face co-hosts Mexico at the Azteca Stadium.

A lot of talk going into the match was about how the Three Lions would cope with the altitude and how they would fare playing in such a hostile atmosphere.

England rose to the task with flying colours as they secured a dramatic victory. Jude Bellingham notched a brace and Harry Kane got on the scoresheet as Thomas Tuchel’s side, who were reduced to 10 men in the second half when Jarrel Quansah was shown a straight red card, held on to triumph 3-2.

There was concern for Henderson after he suffered a nasty injury during England’s celebrations.

Henderson, despite not coming on to the bench, was extremely animated on the touchline during the final stages of the match. He picked up a booking for his behaviour on the sidelines.

After the referee blew the full-time whistle, the Brentford midfielder sprinted onto the pitch to celebrate alongside England’s players.

However, he suffered a wrist injury after falling over the advertising hoardings during England’s celebrations. According to the Mirror, his teammates appeared to form a huddle around him as he received treatment from medics.

He was later taken away on a stretcher and given oxygen. Footage has now emerged showing how he suffered the injury.

Jude Bellingham spoke out about Henderson’s injury following the match. He said:

Harry Kane, who struggled to speak in his post-match interview after losing his voice, said: “Jordan [Henderson] just fell over there, I think he’s okay, just something to do with his arm.”

Boss Tuchel also provided a worrying update, saying: “Not good, not good, next thing is a right defender now with the red card, Jordan just fell over an injured his wrist, it looks really bad.”

Henderson has played just six minutes for England at the 2026 World Cup, playing six minutes in his side’s victory over Panama in the group stage.

England will now face Norway in the quarter-finals of the competition. Erling Haaland scored a brace as the Scandinavian side defeated Brazil 2-1 at New York New Jersey Stadium. It’s currently unclear whether Henderson will be available to play.
