Bayer Leverkusen stays firm: Despite intense talks with Arsenal, the club will not sell the young forward Jarrel Quansah. Negotiations that began in summer 2026 show Leverkusen wants to protect its attacking options while Arsenal seeks reinforcement.
Arsenal, fighting for top spots in the Premier League, looks for a quick winger to fill gaps after several veterans left. Jarrel Quansah, 22, scored 12 goals for Bayer Leverkusen last season and is seen as a technically skilled, pressure‑playing attacker. The English club has reportedly held several talks, but Leverkusen has made it clear a sale is off the table.
Keeping Quansah strengthens squad depth, especially as currently sidelined Eliesse Ben Seghir remains unavailable. In the 2025 Bundesliga final table, Bayer Leverkusen finished 6th with 59 points, 17 wins, 8 draws and 9 losses. The team scored 68 goals and conceded 47, a +21 goal difference. They sit 30 points behind leaders Bayern München and must manage resources wisely.
With Quansah in the squad and a recent 1‑1 draw against Hamburger SV on 2026-05-16, Bayer Leverkusen remains in the hunt for European places. The last four games show mixed form (0 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses), with the recent pattern DDLL. The club will aim to tighten the defence while using Quansah's offensive firepower to close the gap to Bayern.
While Arsenal continues to search for reinforcements, Bayer Leverkusen may receive further offers this summer, but the clear message stays: key players stay. A potential sale of Quansah would only be considered after a thorough sporting and financial assessment. For fans, this means no major changes for now - the team stays focused on the Bundesliga run‑in and European qualification.
