Arsenal transfer news LIVE: Guirassy to LEAVE Stuttgart, Gunners ‘eye Nico Williams’, £85m Viktor Gyokeres LATEST

  • Arsenal looking at Moreno

    Arsenal are eyeing a move for Real Sociedad ace Mikel Moreno.

    The deep-lying midfielder completed 90 minutes for Spain as they beat Albania 1-0 last night.

    His contract expires at the end of next season, and he could be going cheap this summer - with Mikel Arteta an admirer of his namesake.

  • Guirassy 'wants Stuttgart exit'

    Arsenal transfer target Serhou Guirassy has told Stuttgart he wants to leave, according to reports.

    The striker rose to prominence last season with 28 goals in 28 Bundesliga games.

    He has attracted interest from several high profile European clubs and could have his sights set on the Premier League.

    Transfer expert Florian Plettenberg says Guirassy, 28, has told Stuttgart he wants to make a summer transfer.

    He adds that Arsenal are in the race to sign the Guinea international.

    But they could face a tussle for his signature with Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan also keen.

  • Mich pickings?

    Bayern Munich's Joshua Kimmich has given his army of Prem admirers hope.

    The Germany star - linked with Arsenal, Manchester United and Man City - is reportedly not expected to stay with his German giants beyond the end of his contract in 2025.

    Sky Sports Germany suggest the 29-year-old is willing to consider leaving before then

    That could mean Bayern selling him this summer - rather than losing him for nothing in a year's time.

  • Pressure mounts as Prem clubs eye deals

    Prem chiefs have warned club bosses they must not use loopholes in the rulebook to avoid PSR penalties, writes MARTIN LIPTON.

    Aston Villa, Chelsea, Everton and Newcastle have all been involved in a series of possible deals that could be completed by the official accounting end of the season on Sunday.

    Villa have already signed Everton youngster Lewis Dobbin, with midfielder Tim Iroegbunam moving the other way in a similar £9m deal.

    Unai Emery’s side are also poised to sell England youth schemer Omari Kellyman to Chelsea for up to £19m while taking left back Ian Maatsen from the Stamford Bridge side for £37.5m.

    Other possible deals could see Newcastle signing Everton’s England striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin to Newcastle while taking Toon winger Yankuba Minteh.

    The transfers could allow all four clubs benefit from the accountancy rules around PSR, with clubs limited to £105m of “permitted losses” over three seasons.

    Up to eight clubs are thought to be in danger of PSR breaches for this season, with the prospect of points deductions now real after the penalties imposed on Everton and Nottingham Forest last term.  

  • Have Gunners leapt in front in Prem race for Viktor?

    Claims that Viktor Gyokeres could head to the Premier League this summer have taken a surprise twist.

    Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea have already been linked with Sporting Lisbon’s Sweden striker.

    Now Portuguese outlet Leonino have sent speculation soaring by claiming the Gunners are “very close” to signing the ex-Coventry star, 26.

    That suggestion will raise eyebrows back in Britain – especially as Sporting are thought to be standing firm on their valuation of around £85million.

    Arsenal might not be interested for a sum much above £50m.

  • Youssouf Fofana tip

    Arsenal legend Emmanuel Petit advised his former club to sign Monaco star Youssou Fofana amid their search for a midfielder.

    Petit told Gambling.com:

    If Arsenal were looking at buying a holding midfielder I would try and get Youssouf Fofana from Monaco, who is playing for the national team at the Euros.

    He is a very good player who can be good for Arsenal. There aren't many players in France, for example, that are a good fit for Arsenal. Arsenal are playing for the Champions League and the Premier League so they need top level players.

    If you are looking to add a player to the squad, you need to improve on the quality of the team, and at the moment there aren't many suitable options playing in France- there are many interesting players but it’s too soon for a lot of them...

  • Trossard's dad lashes out

    Arsenal ace Leandro Trossard's dad has hit out at Belgium's manager Domenico Tedesco saying "he's not a good coach".

    Leandro is criticised, but he was moved from one position to another, it’s difficult to keep a guideline in your game in these conditions.

    I don’t think Tedesco is a good coach for Belgium, even if he doesn’t have the stubbornness of Roberto Martinez.
