Arsenal and Liverpool are interested in signing Atalanta defender Honest Ahanor at the end of the season. The two Premier League clubs are seeking to sign him in the summer. According to FussballDaten, he could cost around €50 million.

Scouts from Arsenal have reportedly watched Honest Ahanor live in recent months. City and Arsenal are believed to be evaluating bids of approximately €35 million, recognising Honest Ahanor's long-term potential. CaughtOffside has been informed by sources close to the agents industry that several Premier League clubs are closely monitoring Honest Ahanor's progress. Atalanta currently views Honest Ahanor as not for sale and would prefer to retain him for at least another season.

Arsenal is among several clubs monitoring Honest Ahanor, a 17-year-old centre-back for Atalanta Bergame. Chelsea, Manchester United, and Bayern Munich are also reportedly interested in the Nigerian player. Real Madrid has identified Ahanor as a priority and is prepared to offer 40 million euros. Chelsea is considered a primary competitor, and reports from December 2025 suggested they could make a €60 million approach. Ahanor is under contract with the Italian club until the summer of 2028 and earns an annual salary of 930,000 euros. His value is estimated at 25 million euros by Transfermarkt. He joined Atalanta from Genoa in July 2025 for a fee reported as €16 million. He has made 8 appearances in Serie A this season. In November 2025, Atalanta's asking price was widely reported to be €40 million.
