ARSENAL TRANSFER NEWS: THE LATEST & LIVE PLAYER RUMOURS FROM THE EMIRATES STADIUM


MAHREZ TO JOIN ARSENAL
Arsenal are set to announce the signing of Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez in the next few days, reports Calciomercato .
Mahrez has been looking to leave Leicester this summer and had reportedly been holding out for an offer from Barcelona.
However, with no bid from Barcelona forthcoming, Mahrez is now expected to join Arsenal, having also been linked with a move to Chelsea.


ALEXIS FORBIDDEN FROM JOINING MAN CITY
Arsenal will not allow Alexis Sanchez to join Manchester City this summer, according to the Daily Mail .
The Gunners do not want to strengthen their rivals, and will instead encourage Alexis to move to a foreign club, with PSG favourites, or leave on a free next season.
However, Arsenal may be persuaded to do business with City if Sergio Aguero is included in the deal, or if they secure a £120 million deal to sign Monaco wonderkid Kylian Mbappe.


OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN TO SIT OUT ARSENAL CONTRACT
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is prepared to wait out the final year of his contract and leave Arsenal on a free next summer, report The Times .
The England international was made a take-it-or-leave-it offer by the Gunners, amid interest from Liverpool, but he has rejected it, leading to the prospect of Arsenal losing a potentially valuable star for nothing in 2018.


EVERTON EYE £20M GIROUD
Everton are set to launch a £20m bid for Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud, report The Sun .
Both West Ham and Marseille are also interested in the France international, but the Toffees are prepared to gazump their rivals as they continue to strengthen their squad.


ARSENAL READY £125M MBAPPE BID
Arsenal are confident of signing Kylian Mbappe as they prepare a £125 million bid while Arsene Wenger has already spoken to the Monaco striker's father, according to
The Mirror .
Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are already willing to make him the most expensive player in football, but the Gunners are set to step in. Wenger has already told Mbappe's father that a move to Madrid would not be in the 18-year-old's interests, whereas he would be guaranteed to play at Arsenal.


BELLERIN WANTS BARCA MOVE
Hector Bellerin will meet with officials at Arsenal to inform them of his desire to join Barcelona, Marca reports.
Barca have long been trying to lure the right-back back to Camp Nou, but the long-term contract he recently signed with the Gunners presents a problem for the Catalan side. The 22-year-old has already spoken to the Catalan side and will now try to force a move.


ARSENAL FEAR ALEXIS FREE TRANSFER
Arsenal want to sell Alexis Sanchez this summer as they do not want him to leave on a free transfer next season, according to
the Sun .
Manchester City and Bayern Munich are both interested in the Chile international, and Arsenal would cash in on Sanchez's sale to the sum of around £50 million should he leave the Emirates during this transfer window.


OZIL RENEWS EXECUTIVE BOX
Mesut Ozil has given an indication that he will remain at Arsenal after renewing his executive box at the Emirates Stadium,
The Sun reports .
The Germany international's contract expires at the end of next season and is yet to clarify his future. However, the news that he will hold onto his private box in the stadium for another year suggests he will remain in north London.


ARSENAL OUT OF MBAPPE RACE
Arsenal are out of the race to sign Monaco star Kylian Mbappe and will turn their full attention to landing Alexandre Lacazette and Thomas Lemar, according to M ail Online .
The teenager was Arsene Wenger's top priority, but with interest from many of Europe's top clubs the Gunners have accepted that he may be out of their reach.


RVP SET FOR PREMIER LEAGUE RETURN
Former Arsenal and Manchester United forward Robin van Persie could return to the Premier League next season with Crystal Palace, says the Daily Mirror .
The Fenerbahce striker is on compatriot Frank de Boer's transfer shortlist as the new Eagles boss goes about constructing a squad able to retain their top-flight status.


RANIERI WANTS ARSENAL GOALKEEPER
New Nantes manager Claudio Ranieri is looking to add Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina to his squad, according to France Football.
The Colombia international shot-stopper has grown tired of playing second-fiddle to first-choice Petr Cech at the Emirates and will force a move this summer.


RACE ON TO SIGN LEMAR
Barcelona, Manchester City and Chelsea are among the clubs set to battle for Monaco winger Thomas Lemar, according to
L'Equipe .
Arsenal have seen a bid rejected for the France international while Tottenham are planning an offer of their own.
But the north London clubs face competition with a series of top sides looking to set up talks with his agent regarding a move.


GIROUD CLOSE TO LIGUE 1 RETURN
Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud is closing in on a return to Ligue 1, according to L'Equipe .
Lyon and Marseille are leading the race to sign the France international, with the Gunners closing in on a replacement.


HINDS TO LEAVE ARSENAL
Arsenal youngster Kaylen Hinds is set to leave north London and join Wolfsburg, according to The Sun .
The 19-year-old has long been tipped as a future first-team player at the Emirates Stadium but now looks set to leave for the Bundesliga in a deal worth £2 million.


TEEN SENSATION REJECTS PREMIER LEAGUE MOVE
Ryan Sessegnon has rejected the opportunity of a move to the Premier League in favour of agreeing a new three-year contract at Fulham, reports the Mirror .
Tottenham had been favourites to sign the 17-year-old left-back, while Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United had also been linked with Sessegnon, but he has decided to stay put. The London-born defender played 30 games in all competitions for Fulham last season.
