European qualification could come down to points per game if the league season doesn’t finish, according to a report today.

Everything kicked off surrounding the Thomas Partey to Arsenal rumours on Wednesday, so let’s round up all we know so far.

Arsenal contacted David Luiz, Alexandre Lacazette, Nicolas Pepe and Granit Xhaka over apparent breaches of the lockdown rules, according to reports.

Dayot Upamecano is almost certain to leave RB Leipzig this summer, with Arsenal just one of many clubs on his case, according to reports.

Denilson was unhappy on a personal level during his time with Arsenal, but he still gushes with praise when it comes to his time under Arsene Wenger.

Teenage winger George Lewis and his agent both claim he’s joining Arsenal, after a trial with the club earlier this year.

Arsenal joined Barcelona in making enquiries over Palmeiras teenager Gabriel Veron, with the Brazilian club valuing him at €30m.

Arsenal aren’t planning to ask their women’s team to take a pay cut, following the men largely agreeing to a 12.5% reduction in salary.

It’s still possible UEFA end up using the coefficient rankings to decide which clubs make it into the Champions League next season.

None of the Arsenal squad rejected the pay cut, simply requesting time for further clarification before coming to a decision, according to various reports.

Arsenal are in agreement with AS Roma that Henrikh Mkhitaryan can stay until the end of the season, even if that’s beyond June 30th.

Arsenal are indeed following Axel Disasi, but their primary move for a centre-back is likely to be a permanent deal for Pablo Mari, according to David Ornstein.

Mikel Arteta and the Arsenal playing squad impressed non-playing staff by specifically insisting funds from their pay cut went towards lower-paid employee wages.

Bundesliga football could restart behind closed doors from May 9th, in an apparent sign that football across Europe is edging closer to a return.

Arsenal are in contact with the representatives of Thomas Partey, with Mikel Arteta keen to add the midfielder to his squad this summer.

On Monday, Pablo Mari repeated his wish to stay at Arsenal for many more years, hoping to improve himself as a player and a person.

Former Arsenal scout Damien Comolli says an agent told him only a few Premier League clubs would have money to spend this summer.

Arsenal are showing an interest in Nabil Fekir, but Real Betis are only willing to sell for €50m, more than anyone is ready to pay right now.

Stan Kroenke is making a commitment in relation to the Emirates Stadium loan that will provide flexibility for Arsenal to use their cash reserves.

RSC Anderlecht are planning to sack Samir Nasri over his behaviour during the coronavirus lockdown, as the only player to fail to follow their instructions.
