Arsenal are pushing hard to land Brentford winger Kevin Schade. Christian Falk recently confirmed in his CF Bayern Insider column that the Gunners aren’t alone, with Chelsea, Spurs, and Bayern Munich all watching the German international. While Bayern like what they see, Brentford want a massive £60 million.
Arsenal Transfer News: The Battle for Kevin Schade
That price tag has actually cooled Bayern’s interest for now since they don’t see him as their top priority at that cost. Falk thinks the Bees might be starting high to see who bites, but they could end up taking less if nobody meets that initial demand.
This situation puts London’s big hitters in a strong spot. The 24-year-old has the kind of raw pace and skill that Mikel Arteta loves for his system. Chelsea are also hovering because they need someone more consistent out wide than their current options.
Since Brentford already bagged a huge fee from Manchester United for Bryan Mbeumo, they know they can hold out for top dollar. Still, this latest Arsenal transfer news suggests a real chance for the Gunners to jump ahead. They need a spark on the left side to push Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, and Schade fits that bill perfectly.
Arsenal face shock £40m transfer blow that could derail their entire summer
Should the Gunners Pay £60m in the Latest Arsenal Transfer News?
Schade bagged twelve goals and eight assists in the 2025/26 season, but £60 million is still a huge ask. He is lightning fast, though he sometimes rushes his final pass when he’s under pressure. Arsenal should try to structure a deal with heavy add-ons rather than paying it all up front. This Arsenal transfer news will likely lead to a deal of around £48 million this summer, which feels fair for a player with his potential. We have to wait till the summer transfer window to see what happens finally.
