Arsenal Transfer Odds

After finishing their particularly low season on a high by lifting the FA Cup, Arsenal have immediately switched their attention to next season. Mikel Arteta is set to rebuild this squad over the next few transfer windows as he shifts the deadwood and secures players that are more suited to what the Spaniard wants to achieve tactically.

Arteta, who is entering his first full season as a manager, has realistic targets and obviously wants to renew the contract of captain and star player, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. At the same time, it is clear an overhaul is needed across the pitch at the Emirates and we take a look at all the Arsenal transfer news.

Let's take a look at the Arsenal transfer odds.

Despite being linked with a move to Manchester United for the best part of a year, Aston Villa star Jack Grealish is also heavily linked with a move to London, finding a new home at the Emirates Stadium.

It does appear as if United have missed out on Sancho in this transfer window, so attention at Old Trafford could be moved towards securing the services of Grealish.

As well as this, Aston Villa have reportedly priced their captain at £80m, which surely scuppers any potential deal with Arsenal, who have only ever paid close to this figure on one player - Nicolas Pepe. However, it shouldn’t be ruled out as Arsenal clearly need creativity and Grealish supplies such factors in abundance.

Grealish is down at EVENS with Paddy Power, but you can get a high 5/1 for him to join Arsenal with Sky Bet.

Thomas Partey has been linked with a move to Arsenal for months now and any deal would likely be completed could happen soon, as Atletico Madrid crashed out of the Champions League to RB Leipzig. The Ghanaian international is exactly what Arsenal need in midfield: a steely defensive intelligence who is equally adept at progressing the ball downfield.

The Gunners have reportedly made several bids for the holding midfield player, with Atletico simply waiting for the club to trigger his release clause. A move for Partey seems likely, and Arteta is keen on the player undertaking a role similar to Fernandinho at Manchester City; Arteta’s old stomping ground alongside.

Partey odds to join Arsenal are priced at 8/15 with Paddy Power.

This is a transfer story that is becoming an annual event. Zaha has been linked with a move to Arsenal for some time now, with the winger establishing himself as a top forward in the Premier League whilst playing for Crystal Palace.

Time is running out for Zaha and the Ivory Coast international no longer looks like the guy who could take the Gunners back to the Champions League, following a dismal year of just three league goals. To cast further doubts of such a move, Arsenal announced the signing of Willian, which will fill the hole that Zaha could have secured - this could now turn Arteta's attention to the greater issues in the squad that need addressing.

Zaha would not come cheap, and whilst it seems he could cost too much, if Arsenal can strike a deal for a many clearly wanting out, then a move for the Palace star could happen.

Zaha odds to sign for Arsenal are now 5/4.

Philippe Coutinho has had an odd career. After bursting into the spotlight at Anfield, a dream move to Barcelona did not go as planned. Coutinho then spent last season at Bayern Munich, and is still in their squad as they ready themselves for a Champions League quarter-finals against the Catalonian giants. The Brazilian had a decent season in Germany, but his future remains in doubt.

Barcelona are reportedly willing to cut their demands in order to offload the attacking midfielder and have reportedly offered him to Arsenal, who are in need of a creative outlet given the detached status of the highest earner at the club, Mesut Ozil.

Whilst Arsenal would rather a loan, Barcelona desperately want to get Coutinho off their books permanently. This does cast further doubt over a move, with the Spanish side no doubt wanting close to £100m for a man who they paid £162m for and who is still just 28.

This is certainly one to watch and Coutinho odds to Arsenal are a low 1/2.

Leipzig’s Dayot Upamecano has become a rising name around European football thanks to his exceptional performances in the last 18 months. The defender optimises the modern man at the back and his ability to play out from the back – a coveted tool by Mikel Arteta – has led to links with a move to the Emirates.

The Frenchman has been linked with a move to many of Europe’s top sides with the likes of Bayern Munich, City, Manchester United, and Barcelona, all chasing the signature of the 21-year-old.

However, Upamecano and Leipzig hoped to endure the flurry of rumours by signing the centre-back to a new contract, but that has done little to stop reports of a move for the Frenchman, and may just merely up the buyout clause. Arsenal are in dire need of a new central defender and signing Upamecano could be the perfect start.

No doubt the Leipzig man won't come cheap after signing his new deal, but Upamecano odds to join Arsenal are now a low 2/1.
