Back in January, we brought your attention to Arsenal’s 12-year-old wonderkid, Omari Hutchinson, and now he’s at it again.

Patrick Vieira believes Arsenal need to be more like Ajax and have more ex-players coaching at London Colney.

Serge Gnabry has already been linked with a move to German club Hertha BSC and is now being linked with RB Leipzig and FSV Mainz 05.

Theo Walcott was surprisingly upbeat following Arsenal’s 0-0 draw against Leicester City on Saturday.

Arsene Wenger hailed Laurent Koscielny following Arsenal’s 0-0 draw with Leicester on Saturday and admitted that he has no other solutions for central defence right now.

The latest news on the Shkodran Mustafi transfer saga is that Arsene Wenger has confirmed Arsenal’s interest in the centre-back but according to Guillem Balague, Valencia don’t want to sell.

Back in 2002, Arsene Wenger spoke about how the money in football simply had to run out soon. How wrong he was.

Atletico Madrid are reportedly refusing to negotiate with Arsenal over the transfer of highly rated centre-back, José Giménez.

According to O Jogo, Arsenal are scouting Benfica B player, Diogo Gonçalves.

While Arsenal continue to reportedly try and wrestle Shkodran Mustafi out of Valencia’s clutches, we’ve apparently also turned our attention to Fiorentina centre-back, Davide Astori.

Spanish news outlet, Superdeporte, is claiming that Valencia are looking for new defenders in light of the recent speculation regarding Shkodran Mustafi’s future at the club.

Isaac Hayden claims that he’s always felt a connection to Newcastle ever since watching the film ‘Goal!’ as a kid and that his move this summer was a ‘dream come true’ and that Arsene Wenger did not want to let him leave.

Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund ‘target’, Bjorn Engels, claims he’s not ready to join a big club like the Gunners or the Bundesliga side. Instead, he wants to join a mid-table team first.

Samir Nasri looks poised to complete a two-year loan move to Besiktas.

The most transparent ‘transfer saga’ of the summer could be about to end with – drum roll please – Mauro Icardi signing a new contract with Inter Milan. What a surprise. Not.

Southampton boss, Claude Puel, claims that Jose Fonte isn’t disturbed by the speculation surrounding his future with the Saints among new reports linking him with Manchester United.

Although Juventus and Arsenal have been the main clubs linked with Inter Milan midfielder, Marcelo Brozovic, it now appears two other Premier League teams have entered the race.

Remember Ricardo Rodriguez? The left-back we were heavily linked with at the beginning of the transfer window? Well, now Chelsea want him.

Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund have reportedly been asked for cough up £14m if they want Bayer Leverkusen centre-back, Omer Toprak, this summer.

Talks with Valencia over bringing centre-back, Shkodran Mustafi, to Arsenal appear to be coughing and spluttering over the finish line, if reports are to be believed.
