According to Fichajes, Arsenal have made an initial enquiry about a summer transfer for Brentford's Michael Kayode after he was identified as a priority target for 2026. It is reported that Keith Andrews’ side will consider a sale if Arsenal is willing to make a suitable offer that meets their valuation of Michael Kayode.

Michael Kayode has been added to Arsenal's summer shortlist, according to Team Talk. The club is prioritising reinforcements for its defence due to uncertainties over Ben White’s future. Arsenal is also impressed by Kayode's energy and his potential as a long-term asset. Brentford values Kayode at more than £60 million, and no formal bids have been made.

Michael Kayode is on Andrea Berta's shortlist as a potential replacement for Ben White at Arsenal, a club whose admiration for the player predates Berta's arrival at the Emirates.

Arsenal are targeting Brentford's 21-year-old Italian defender Michael Kayode as they look for a new right-back for the summer. Kayode has made 26 appearances in the Premier League this season and his contract with Brentford runs until 2030. Several other clubs, including Liverpool, Manchester City, and Real Madrid, have also been recently linked with the player, although there have not yet been any concrete talks over a potential deal.
