Arsenal new signings and squad changes
Arsenal reshaped the champions’ squad during the 2026 summer window. Bruno Guimaraes added another senior midfield option and wears No.39, while Ezri Konsa strengthened the defensive group in the No.15 shirt. Piero Hincapie, Christos Tzolis and Illan Meslier also give Arteta additional options across defence, attack and goalkeeping. SportPesa Kenya’s Premier League transfer coverage tracks the wider window and the major deals that changed club squads before registration closed.

How the Arsenal squad is structured
Arsenal’s squad is built around a deep defensive group and a midfield with several different profiles. Saliba, Gabriel, White, Hincapie, Timber, Konsa, Mosquera and Calafiori give Arteta multiple combinations across the back line, while Rice, Zubimendi, Guimaraes, Merino and Odegaard provide control, progression and creativity through midfield.
In attack, Saka remains one of the main wide threats, with Gyokeres offering a central option and Tzolis and Madueke adding width. Havertz can move between attacking and midfield roles, while Eze gives Arsenal another creative player between the lines.
Premier League registration and young players
Premier League clubs can register a senior list of up to 25 players, while eligible Under-21 players can be used outside that senior limit. Arsenal’s first-team picture therefore extends beyond the senior registration list. Myles Lewis-Skelly and Max Dowman are among the young players included here because they are part of the senior football conversation, while the club also has a much larger academy and Under-21 registration list.
This page is not intended to reproduce every academy registration. Its role is to answer the first-team squad query clearly and direct changing player data to SP Score.
