TEAMtalk reports that Everton's potential failure to secure European football will increase Arsenal's chances of signing AS Roma right-back Wesley. Everton had hoped to secure a deal for Wesley, but it will be difficult to attract him without European football. This leaves Arsenal as the potential favourites to sign him. The Gunners are looking for a replacement for Ben White.

Calciomercato states that Wesley's first year in Italy has been astonishing, which has led to him attracting interest from many European clubs. The report reveals Arsenal have a significant interest in the 22-year-old after the sanctioning of Ben White's departure. Wesley is one of five right-backs on Mikel Arteta’s shortlist as White becomes more likely to leave. If Arsenal fail to sign Livramento and he is signed by City, the Gunners will likely increase their efforts to sign Wesley.

According to TEAMtalk, Arsenal have added Wesley Franca, a 22-year-old Brazilian right-back from AS Roma, to their list of targets. The report states they were impressed by his athleticism, attacking output, and defensive maturity. Other clubs including Manchester City, Newcastle United, Real Madrid, and Tottenham Hotspur are also said to be interested in the player. Franca joined AS Roma in July 2025 and his contract is valid until June 30, 2030. He has 5 caps for the Brazil national team. In the 2025/2026 Serie A season, Franca has made 4 appearances, scoring 1 goal and providing 5 assists. His current Transfermarkt market value is €35.00m.
