Ever since the end of the Premier League season last Sunday, Arsenal fans have been looking forward to an optimistic summer transfer window and a much more competitive Arsenal in the future. Some Gooners, like myself, still harbour doubts about the board and Arsenal’s wage policy actually allowing Wenger to bring in the `top, top` talent he has been talking about all season.
A good proportion of the transfer rumours this week have surrounded Stevan Jovetic from Fiorentina. It seemed to be only a matter of time before Arsenal could announce that the deal is done with the player and his Serie A club, but that has been thrown into doubt in a big way today by their sporting director Daniel Prade. .......Read the full article here

There have been a number of reports over the last few days suggesting that Arsenal have agreed terms with Gonzalo Higuain over his potential transfer to the Emirates from Real Madrid. It was also thought that the transfer fee had been settled at around £20 million. Whether this is is true or not, we don’t know, but even if it is true, that does not mean the transfer will definitely happen. .......Read the full article here

Until Arsenal know for sure whether it will be the Champions League or the Europa League next season, Arsene Wenger will be keeping his powder dry, but Arsenal fans are hoping for a good summer in the transfer market, we have certainly waited long enough.
It was thought that Stevan Jovetic was the main target for the Gunners, assuming we finish in the top four of course, but that may have changed to the Argentinean hit-man Gonzalo Higuain. It appears that the recent rumours about a possible transfer to the Emirates this summer are not as wide of the mark as we may have thought. .......Read the full article here

It is absolutely brilliant that Arsenal are being linked with some top, top, top players for a change, and if this report in the Spanish media is true then it means that Arsene Wenger really is buying players that will improve the team!
Sport.es confidently report that the Gunners have signed a pre-contract with the Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain and will pay 22 million euros to the Spanish giants, and we apparently nabbed him from under the noses of our arch-rivals Tottenham.
They say he will sign a five-year contract with Arsenal, but of course the agreement will become invalid if Arsenal fail to make the Top Four in the Premiership and (heaven forbid) he could end up going to the Spuds instead! .......Read the full article here

Stan Kroenke seems determined to stay in charge of Arsenal, even if the proposed takeover offer is forthcoming, the American billionaire is ready to dig his heels in at the Emirates. With Alisher Usmanov topping the UK rich list and desperate to get a seat on the Arsenal board, a lot of Gooners are not happy about Kroenke’s stance but there is little we can do. .......Read the full article here

The last time that Arsenal won a major trophy was the 2005 FA cup final. Patrick Vieira scored the winning penalty against Manchester United in the shoot out, but that was his last of nearly 400 competitive matches for the club. Some might say that Arsenal have never adequately replaced the dynamic Frenchman, but that may be about to change this summer.
According to the Sun, Arsenal face strong competition from Chelsea, Man City and Real Madrid for the player seen as the next Patrick Vieira. Geoffrey Kondogbia, who plays for Sevilla in the Spanish Primera Liga, has a very similar game to the former Gunner. He is the same age as Vieira was when he signed from Juventus, and is also an under-21 French international player. .......Read the full article here

Every week it seems like Arsenal are linked with another transfer target and it will continue from now until the start of next season. Many of the rumours are focused on strikers, with Stevan Jovetic, David Villa and Alvaro Negredo just three of the many names connected with a possible move to the Emirates.
Knowing Arsene Wenger, though, the new Gunners who arrive in the summer could well be completely different than the players whose names are in the media. Arsenal fans are hoping for a big name, a striker with proven quality, and the one who springs to my mind is Karim Benzema. .......Read the full article here

Arsenal have had some highly publicised defensive problems recently, with captain and central defender Thomas Vermaelen coming under fire from various directions. Officials at Barcelona have not been paying attention, though, because they are preparing to table an offer of around £15 million for the Belgian international in the summer. The Spanish giants are also looking at Liverpool’s Daniel Agger, but the fact that Arsenal and Barcelona play similar systems could make Vermaelen the preferred option, according to the Guardian. .......Read the full article here

Arsene Wenger was frustrated in his attempts to persuade Barcelona to release the Spanish international striker David Villa in January. The 31-year old was seen as the ideal player to add some venom to the Arsenal attack, but the Spanish club refused to sanction the deal, despite the fact they were hardly playing him and that Villa had told them he wanted to go. The vice-president of Barca has now revealed that they will not block his transfer in the summer, so if Wenger still wants him then he could be a Gunner next season. .......Read the full article here

The Spanish international striker and Arsenal transfer target David Villa is not having much luck this season at Barcelona. After finally returning from a serious leg break which kept him out of the team for almost a year, Villa found himself struggling to force his way into the starting line up due to the progress of Tello, Pedro and Alexis Sanchez along with the super scoring form of Lionel Messi. After a number of substitute appearances and some good cameo performances, he had proved his fitness and was getting a run in the Spanish cup when he tweaked his thigh. .......Read the full article here

Santi Cazorla has been speaking this week about how Arsenal is the perfect Premier league team for him because of the fluent, passing football. It is a similar style to that played by the Spanish national team and many of the teams in Spain’s Primera Liga. Cazorla says it suits his type of football perfectly, and Arsenal fans would not disagree, as the Spaniard fitted instantly into the Gunners team, and has forged a devastating midfield with Jack Wilshere, Mikel Arteta and all. .......Read the full article here
