3rd bid has been submitted for Douglas Luiz. £23m+£2m in add-ons. Villa seriously considering. Might go down to the wire. Kia and Edu in constant contact.

| Kiwior & Trossard done deals.
Trossard £21m + £7m
Kiwior £18m + £6m
Ivan Fresneda next on the block. Lots of competition for his signature, but Arsenal currently leading the race.
Zinchenko to Arsenal is fully done now. Just the medical left. £32m the final fee and will earn £120k per week. Been an Arsenal fan since a kid, as well as buzzing to work with Arteta again.
Jesus deal is more or less done. Spurs showed interest over the weekend but he’s eyes are set for the Emirates. Personal terms finalised, and have been for ages. Arsenal and Man City discussing ad-ons and payment terms.
#AFC
| Bids for Rice and Caicedo will be made during the next week, £85m & £75m respectively.
Reiss Nelson renewal set to be announced within the next days.
Saliba contract talks are progressing well. Discussing bonuses and image rights but agreement set to be reached soon.
Odegaard✅ 6-month loan deal, no option to buy. No risk, gives us rotation option to ESR and can play on the wing. A great signing, considering we’re still in the top 6 race, as well as Europa and FA Cup. Depth is very needed.

Aubameyang-> New Deal✅
Contract till 2023. Payrise and promises about new players made him decide to stay.
Positive news

Arsenal have enquired about Aouar. Lyon want upwards of £60m while Arsenal are only willing to offer cash+Guendouzi in any transfer. IMO should offer Lacazette in any swap deal as Dembele might leave them.
Mikel Merino deal almost done. Base fee of £18m agreed, only payment structure and bonuses left before total agreement. Arsenal believe this to be an extraordinary market opportunity in a rather expensive window. 3-year deal with an option for a further year.
Bid at around £6m from Turkey for Lucas Torreira. Not accepted yet, but Arsenal eager to offload. Far off the £15m they originally wanted.
Arsenal close to terminating Bellerin’s contract by mutual consent.
Leno to Fulham looking increasingly likely. Fee around £10m.
Arsenal actively looking for a new club for Torreira. Lots of interest from Italy and Spain. Looking for €15m.
Roma have asked about Bellerin, but nothing imminent.
Pepe shown to be hard to shift on due to wages.
Jorginho is closing in on a move to the Arsenal.
Fee around £15m. 2,5 year deal on £150k per week. Not Arteta’s first choice, but with Caicedo off the market and limited options, Edu & Arteta chose Jorginho.
Reports of Ndicka having agreed a deal to join Arsenal on a free, are wide of the mark according to my source.
Arsenal have showed interest in Ndicka previously, so a deal might still happen. Still, nothing advanced.
Priority in January are a CM and a winger.
White is a done deal. £50m + add ons. Arsenal in the market for a right back as well as a creative midfielder. Will try to sort things out before the start of the season, but may be difficult.
#AFC

Willian will most likely move to Arsenal. He is happy with the wages Arsenal are presenting. Kia is pushing for an optional 4th year. Barcelona isn’t interested. Good deal? I would say no...
#willian
#arsenal
Zinchenko the main target at left back. Sergio Gomez also an option. Lisandro personally told Edu that he would choose Manchester United due to EtH connection.
Manchester City will ask for around £40m for Zinchenko.
Arsenal closing in on Calafiori. However, the deal is not as advanced as the Italian media is reporting. Arsenal have proposed a long term offer for Calafiori and the player is keen on a move. Arsenal aware of Bologna’s asking price - €50m. No bids submitted yet.
3rd bid has been submitted for Douglas Luiz. £23m+£2m in add-ons. Villa seriously considering. Might go down to the wire. Kia and Edu in constant contact.
Fulham set to submit offer for Cedric Soares. Not sure how much it would take for Arsenal to accept. Arteta loves him, and lots of games coming up. One to watch.
Re: Torriera. Release clause at €25m, but Sampdoria would rather have €30m paid in 3 installments. Napoli looks at Torriera as a Jorginho replacement, but seems like Torriera would like to go abroad. Could also sign a new deal with Sampdoria.
Development in the Dennis Suarez saga. He decided to sign a new deal with Barcelona which makes him able to go on loan to Arsenal. Done deal. Will be a loan with an option to buy (€25m) in the summer.
Leno to Fulham looking increasingly likely. Fee around £10m.
Arsenal actively looking for a new club for Torreira. Lots of interest from Italy and Spain. Looking for €15m.
Roma have asked about Bellerin, but nothing imminent.
Pepe shown to be hard to shift on due to wages.
Auba rumors are very true. Positive signals from player. Dortmund willing to sell for ~€60m, Arsenal negotiating as always. Still no official bid, but sources in Germany are comfortable that Aubameyang will be an Arsenal player.
The new Aubameyang deal is in the region of £250-300k a-week I’m hearing. 3-year deal, which will mean he is 34 by the end of the contract. Arsenal putting a lot of money on two aging attackers.
#auba
#arsenal
Hearing Saliba might be out for the season. Initial scan at least suggested so. The club will try and see if the lower back responds to injections, which will give him a chance of playing. Not in the squad for Leeds.
Club plans for the summer/fall:
Extend/sell Aubameyang
Sign a box-to-box midfielder (Partey a possibility)
Maybe a defender if certain players leave. Think one of Holding and Chambers is gone. Mustafi and Sokratis may leave if a good bid comes in.
Expecting some announcements after Emery sorts his coaching staff out. Lichtsteiner will most certainly sign, Sokratis could be wrapped up soon and Adli hopefully, even with Madrid going after him.
This is heating up. Lot of interest from BuLi and Arsenal can’t give a clear pathway to the starting XI. Would get minutes in EL and cups. Financial package in Arsenal’s favour. Feels like Sancho all over again. Special talent.
Leno to Fulham looking increasingly likely. Fee around £10m.
Arsenal actively looking for a new club for Torreira. Lots of interest from Italy and Spain. Looking for €15m.
Roma have asked about Bellerin, but nothing imminent.

As widely reported: Arsenal have shown interest in White. Brighton want in excess of £40m and the player is keen on a move. Nothing formal yet.

Big development on Saliba. Arsenal will bid €30m. St. Etienne demand that he will be sent back on loan, which Arsenal are hesitant to accept. Really hope this deal gets done.
Expect Saliba to be announced in the coming week. Ceballos getting closer, expect him to be done by the start of August.
Arsenal’s main wing target is of course Zaha, but a deal will be costly. Still in the Pepe situation, no interest in Everton.
Tavares and Lokonga will both be announced over the next week or so. Both flying over to England to finish paperwork and medicals. Combined fee of £23m for the pair. Like the Lokonga transfer, not to big on Tavares.
#Arsenal
As previously stated: Done deal.
#Odegaard
want to join Arsenal and
#RealMadrid
need to raise funds. 5-year deal. Fee around the £35-40 mill mark. Expect it to be done after tve Chelsea game at the weekend.
#Arsenal
First bid for Lokonga rejected at £13m. Guessing a deal will be struck at around £16-18m. The 21-year old midfielder will likely be used as a Ceballos replacement, and won’t start right away.
#Lokonga
#Arsenal
#Anderlecht
We should definitly take Martin Odegaard. Would fit perfectly in Artetas system and would give options as a rotation to ESR and on the wings. Great presser.
#arsenal
#odegaard
No Buendia for Arsenal it seems. Arsenal always interested, but not at £35m, which I agree with. Sensible buisness will be getting a creative winger in the £20m range. Not the most pressing position imo.
#Arsenal
#Buendia
The way I see it we should start spending £25m on multiple younger players and mould them. Has worked wonders for Leicester/Wolves/Villa. We’re not able to have a complete squad when we spend big money on only one player each window.
Don’t expect a lot of things to happen before after the
#Euros
. There is a list of targets in each position; Central midfield, right back, left back, goalkeeper, attacking midfielder/inverted winger. Nothing close yet.
This new plan Fenway group/Glazers are putting together is woefull. Would ruin PL as it is and only lead us closer to the European Super League they’re plotting for. Getting rid lf competition, and are bribing the EFL to do so. Stay away from football American owners.
#AFC
/ Can’t see there being any more incomings unless a club comes in for Auba/Laca. Expect
#Willian
to move. Corinthians leading the race, while AC
#Milan
like his profile.
#Bellerin
will likely move, even though there’s a lack of suitors for him.
@EmmetDaniel67
Depends on Arteta really. Arsenal are a classy club and selling Koscielny while injured is wrong. Mustafi could possibly leave. Iwobi/Hodling could go on loan, but would need to find a PL club to take ‘em. Elneny is a great squad player and I believe Xhaka will get one more go
@JonStephens18
True, but his wages are a fraction of what an Isco or Eriksen would have costed. The club doesn’t have money to spend on a Buendia type players so it is a sensible move.
My prediction for today: Guendouzi->Hertha (loan), Torreira->Atletico (loan, IF Herrera moves), Kolasinac->Leverkusen (If Wendel moves). One of the cb’s might move but nothing imminent right now.
