  • Dusan Vlahovic boost

    Arsenal have received a major boost in their bid to sign Juventus star Dusan Vlahovic.

    The same goes for fellow Bianconeri aces Kenan Yildiz and Andrea Cambiaso.

    Juventus are currently fifth in the Serie A table with only one point separating them from the top four, which leads to Champions League qualification next term.

  • Sambi Lokonga coming back?

    Arsenal flop Albert Sambi Lokonga is set for a summer return to the Emirates after suffering his fourth injury of the season during his loan stint at Sevilla.

    Lokonga, 25, joined the Andalusian outfit in July for the 2024-25 campaign in a deal that includes a £10.25million buy option.

    According to The Mirror, the LaLiga giants are unlikely to trigger that option due to persistent hamstring issues that have limited the midfielder to just 21 appearances across all competitions.

    That poses as a blow for the Gunners, who wish to raise funds to bolster their transfer budget for the summer market.

    Had that figure been met, the North Londoners would have also inherited a 25 per cent sell-on clause.

    The same source suggests Sevilla tried to negotiate a lower release clause but chances of a permanent deal are growing slimmer after yet another injury setback
