According to the Spanish publication Fichajes, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has reportedly identified Sunderland midfielder Enzo Le Fee as a surprise priority target for the 2026 summer transfer window. The report states that Arteta views the former Lorient player as an ideal candidate to strengthen his midfield and that a fee of €50m may be required to persuade Sunderland to sell. Although Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Le Fee this summer, a deal is considered very unlikely due to the number of options already available to Arteta. According to FootballTransfers, Arsenal are likely to pursue a new right-back, a new central midfielder, and at least one new forward when the window opens. The publication also states that funds may be somewhat limited following their spending last year. As a result, Le Fee is unlikely to become an Arsenal player this summer, despite Arteta’s reported desire to bring him to the club.

Arsenal are interested in signing Sunderland's 26-year-old French midfielder, Enzo Le Fée, whose performances have drawn their attention. According to reports from Spain, manager Mikel Arteta is an admirer of the player, and the same reports claim Le Fée could cost around €50 million. Sunderland are not expected to want to lose the player, but it is believed Arsenal have the financial resources to meet such a valuation.
