Arsenal are reportedly assessing a move for Newcastle United right back Tino Livramento, with the defender drawing growing interest ahead of the next transfer window. According to recent reports, the London club are weighing up whether to submit a formal offer for the 22-year-old, who has impressed with his athleticism, one‑on‑one defending and adaptability across the back line.
Livramento joined Newcastle from Southampton and has been regarded as a promising long‑term option at right back. His pace, recovery runs and willingness to drive forward have made him a useful asset in both defensive and attacking phases. Those traits have now attracted the attention of clubs near the top of the Premier League, with Arsenal said to be among those tracking his situation.
Arsenal’s interest comes as they continue to refine their defensive options under manager Mikel Arteta. The squad already features players capable of operating at right back or in inverted full‑back roles, but the club has been linked in recent windows with additional depth in wide defensive positions. Livramento’s age profile and experience in English football fit the type of player Arsenal have frequently targeted, combining potential for development with proven ability at the highest domestic level.
Manchester City have also been linked with Livramento, adding a further layer of competition for his signature. City have often looked for versatile defenders who are comfortable in possession and able to shift into central areas when required. Livramento’s experience in systems that emphasize build‑up play from the back is viewed as a point in his favor by interested clubs.
Newcastle, meanwhile, face decisions over the balance of their squad and long‑term planning. Livramento has been part of a back line that has undergone changes due to injuries and tactical adjustments, and his performances have underlined his potential value. Any move involving the defender would be influenced by Newcastle’s broader strategy, including their desire to remain competitive while managing their roster and future transfer activity.
At this stage, no agreement has been announced and key details such as any potential fee, contract terms or timetable for negotiations have not been made public. The situation remains one to watch as Arsenal, Manchester City and Newcastle all shape their plans for the next phase of the season and beyond. Livramento’s development and current role at Newcastle will likely continue to be monitored closely by clubs assessing whether to pursue a formal bid.
