Sporting Lisbon have reportedly reignited their interested in Joel Campbell.

Friday was mainly about the gossip, despite our Premier League match with Leicester just around the corner.

During Arsene Wenger’s pre-Leicester City press conference on Thursday, he revealed that although Mesut Ozil, Olivier Giroud and Laurent Koscielny aren’t quite ready to start, he might take a gamble.

In a segment known as ‘Skills School’ for Arsenal’s official YouTube channel, 18-year-old Chris Willock has shown how to perform one of his trademark moves known as the ‘Hocus Pocus’.

West Brom manager, Tony Pulis, has spoken about those rumours linking one of his ‘best players’, Jonny Evans, to Arsenal and admitted that if we do come in with an offer, sometimes that’s just football.

Thierry Henry recently met Manchester United’s £89m man, Paul Pogba, who admitted that he had a poster of the legend in his bedroom as a child.

Fenerbahce centre-back and supposed Arsenal target, Simon Kjaer, has reportedly picked up an injury.

Our buddy Emanuele Giulianelli is back and this time he’s claiming that Arsenal are set to sign Shkodran Mustafi from Valencia today (Friday) with his medical due to take place on Monday.

Last Sunday, things went from bad to worse as Petr Cech crashed into a pillar in the Emirates’ car park after we’d just lost 4-3 to Liverpool.

Claudio Ranieri claims that Leicester City are ready to beat Arsenal on Saturday after the Gunners took all six points off them last season.

Hold the press, could Arsenal finally have some good news regarding one of their injured players?

Arsenal have reportedly been quoted between €55-57m for Atletico Madrid centre-back, José Giménez.

Championship club Brentford are reportedly interested in bringing Chris Willock in on a season-long loan.

As the rumour mill spins into overdrive regarding Shkodran Mustafi rumours, the media is busy dreaming up other players they could link us to should this deal fall through. The latest is Switzerland international, Fabian Schär.

Shkodran Mustafi’s father has apparently got involved again, reportedly informing Goal.com that we’ll know where the centre-back is going soon and that more than one Premier League club wants him.

The transfer ‘saga’ of Lyon striker, Alexandre Lacazette, to Arsenal has quickly become one of the most tedious stories of all time and that doesn’t appear to be changing soon.

According to reports, Real Madrid are willing to offer James Rodriguez to Arsenal for a minuscule £65m, except someone needs to tell Zinedine Zidane because he doesn’t seem to have a clue.

The Sun are claiming that Arsenal are set to have a bid of £16m for West Brom centre-back rejected.

According to France Football, Arsenal have set their sights on yet another centre-back just in case our supposed deal with Valencia’s Shkodran Mustafi doesn’t go through.

During Arsene Wenger’s press conference ahead of our match against current Premier League champions Leicester City, the manager claimed that he’s made over 400 transfers during his career – but has he?
