Arsenal are reportedly considering a shock summer move for Liverpool star Curtis Jones.
The 25-year-old midfielder has been heavily linked with a move away from Anfield this summer, with Liverpool expected to sanction a sale if the right offer arrives.
Several European clubs have been mentioned as potential suitors for Jones, particularly Serie A giants Inter Milan.
Premier League rivals Tottenham have also been credited with an interest in the Liverpool star.
Now, a surprise update has emerged on his future.

Arsenal are admirers of Curtis Jones
According to Daily Mail journalist Lewis Steele, Arsenal could make a move for Curtis Jones this summer.
It is understood the England international has admirers at the Emirates, and a switch to Mikel Arteta’s side could be one to watch during this transfer window.
Speaking to Anfield Index, Steele said:
“I think Liverpool doesn’t want to sell him for anything less than their valuation, which is fair enough.
“And it seems that other clubs aren’t willing to put up the money that Liverpool wants at this stage.
“As far as Liverpool is concerned, that would mean the door is closed on Curtis leaving this summer.
“The only thing I wonder is that we haven’t really heard from Curtis himself.
“He seemed to be aiming for a move away this summer.
“So, if a club comes in and puts the money on the table, that could certainly change things.
“We know that Spurs have liked him in the past, though they went for Gallagher in January instead.
“I think there was always talk that Arsenal might have liked him.
“So, that could be one to watch.”
Previous reports have claimed that Jones has already agreed to join Inter Milan this summer.
However, there remains a gap in valuation between Liverpool and Inter over a potential deal, potentially opening the door for other clubs to enter the race.
Jones’ current contract at Anfield runs until the summer of 2027.
What happens next?
Arsenal are set to step up their plans as the summer transfer window now officially open, with the club continuing to hold internal discussions over potential targets. Mikel Arteta and Andrea Berta are both believed to be actively assessing several options as preparations for next season continue behind the scenes.
The Gunners are expected to be among the busiest Premier League clubs this summer, with several positions under review. Any move will ultimately depend on availability, financial conditions and how Arsenal prioritise their targets during the transfer window.
The bigger picture
Arsenal’s recruitment team continues to focus on players who fit the club’s long-term strategy under Mikel Arteta. Technical quality, tactical intelligence and versatility remain key attributes as the club assesses potential additions ahead of the new campaign.
The club has consistently looked to add players capable of improving both the starting XI and overall squad depth, particularly with the demands of competing in the Premier League and Champions League. Arsenal are expected to strengthen multiple areas of the squad this summer and continue to monitor opportunities across Europe and South America.
Arsenal are expected to make several important decisions regarding the composition of the squad this summer. While strengthening key areas remains a priority, the club could also consider offers for certain players if it helps fund new arrivals and maintain financial flexibility.
Securing the futures of key players remains just as important as making new signings. Arsenal have worked hard to build one of the strongest squads in Europe, and maintaining stability within the group will be crucial as the club looks to continue competing for major honours.
Our View
If the reports are accurate, this would appear to be a move that makes sense for Arsenal. The club are expected to strengthen the midfield during the summer, and the player’s profile seems to align with the type of recruitment strategy Mikel Arteta has favoured in recent years.
