Shaarawy to Arsenal by SS

Arsenal have been alerted by AC Milan’s confession that they would be open to letting young star Stephan El Shaaraway leave the club for the right money. The comments were provoked by Manchester City’s interest in him but Arsene Wenger will be keeping a close eye on proceedings and may make a cheeky bid if a deal doesn’t work out with City.

“El Shaaraway? We never said he was not for sale,” said the Italian club’s vice-president. .......Read the full article here

Who Could Arsenal Face in the Champions League Qualifiers? by FD

So Arsenal have once again seen off the Spuds and secured fourth place in the Premier League and confirmed our place in the Top Four for the 16th time in a row.

The rumours about a possible return to Arsenal for the former captain and star midfielder, Cesc Fabregas, have been rumbling for a while now, but they seem to be building up a head of steam ready to blow as soon as the season ends. The Spanish Primera Liga has it’s final day on June 1st, so we are unlikely to know anything for sure until then, but there have been a few new stories in the Spanish media. .......Read the full article here

Arsenal may be forced to cough up more than expected this summer if they are serious about the signing of Stevan Jovetic from Fiorentina. Arsene Wenger will have been hoping to pay a little less than £20 million for the 23-year old Montenegrin international, who has declared his desire to play in the English Premier League, but may now be forced to stump up around £25 million due to the strong interest from AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus. .......Read the full article here

One story in today’s papers caught my eye and made me think there is something seriously wrong with the recruitment policy at Arsenal. Whoever is ultimately in charge of signing new players needs to take a long look in the mirror, because we seem to have dropped the ball, and not for the first time. The story, in the Express, concerns a potential move by Chelsea for M’Baye Niang from AC Milan, who they are looking at as a possible replacement for the misfiring Spanish international Fernando Torres. .......Read the full article here

This is a transfer rumour designed to have most Arsenal fans tearing their hair out in frustration, Whereas most Gooners want to say some quality and experienced new signings all over the pitch in the summer, the latest player to be linked with a move to the Emirates is the 18-year old Jordan Lukaku.

The only reason any Arsenal fan will know the name is that he is the younger brother of the Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku who is on loan at West Brom. It gets better, his Wikipedia page says he is a left back, one of the few positions that we are not that desperate to improve. .......Read the full article here

Arsenal will be signing at least one defender this summer, that much is clear. With Squillachi’s contract due to end and Johan Djourou hoping for a permanent move to Hannover where he is currently on loan, Arsenal have just three centre backs. Even if you think they are good enough, that leaves the Gunners one short in the squad, but most Gooners would agree that Arsene Wenger needs to sign a central defender who will improve the starting line up, not just be cover. .......Read the full article here

Arsene Wenger is very keen on adding the talented and versatile defender Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa to his Arsenal squad, apparently, and the 23-year old Montpellier captain is available on a free transfer in the summer.

With Montpellier in Arsenal’s group in the Champions league this season, and Olivier Giroud a former team mate of Mbiwa’s it would seem that Wenger has this one in the bag. A problem has appeared on the horizon, however, in a red and black striped top. .......Read the full article here

Arsenal have two of the top three keepers in the squad out of action due to injury, so reports last week that Vito Mannone was looking for a return to Italy were about as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit. The 24-year old Italian keeper has reassured Gooners that he has no intention of leaving the Emirates anytime in the foreseeable future.

“I want to make it clear, because there have been unfounded rumours, that my contract is not ending in 12 months.

“I’ve got a few more years and I’m happy to be at Arsenal right now. I’m looking at the present and the future is not in doubt. .......Read the full article here

Arsenal have signed up the promising young striker Chuba Akpom now he is 17-years old. The talented teenager has been playing regular games with the under-21 team and scored on Monday after an assist by Jack Wilshere.

The young striker has been involved with the England youth teams and impressed at the under-17 Nordic tournament last year, scoring three goals. Hopefully another star of the future is now committed to being a Gunner.

Someone who did not sign a professional contract with their club and was snapped up by another side is Vito Mannone. Arsenal did pay some compensation to Atalanta but not a lot. Mannone has had many ups and downs in his young life but is finally getting, and taking, the chance to show that he can cut it in the Premier league. .......Read the full article here

A report has been released today stating that Arsenal target, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, would rather play in Serie A than for the Gunners.

The player had this to say about the matter, ‘Wenger was keen on the subject but I’d rather play in Italy.’ .......Read the full article here
