Arsenal Gossip Archives: 08/2016

In a nice turn of events Arsenal are being linked with a move for Barcelona’s Jeremy Mathieu rather than them being linked with one of our players.

With the new season just hours ago we got the chance to hear from Arsene Wenger about actual football.

With the left hand seemingly not knowing what the right hand is doing in this story, Shkodran’s father and agent (fagent), Kujtim, has said that negotiations for his son are going well with Arsenal.

According to Bild, Arsenal have opened talks with Serge Gnabry over extending his contract ahead of it expiring next summer.

With Arsene Wenger coy on the signing of Shkodran Mustafi when asked about it at his pre-Liverpool press conference, the player’s former agent, Ali Bulut has not been.

Depending on where you do your reading, you could be sitting here today believing that Riyad Mahrez wants to join Arsenal or stay at Leicester City.

At his press conference on Friday morning ahead of the game against Liverpool, Arsene Wenger said he was not concerned about the situation with Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez’s contract renewals.

Napoli have offered €70m for Inter Milan’s Mauro Icardi according to reports that appeared in Italy on Thursday, while raising the wages offered to the player from €6.5m to €6.8m a year until 2021.

Moussa Sissoko, God love him, doesn’t know the meaning of the word ‘subtlety’ when it comes to trying to get a move to a new club.

There are two opposing stories coming out of the Italian media regarding Inter Milan’s Mauro Icardi.

Although everyone’s still talking about Leicester City’s Riyad Mahrez to Arsenal and reporting on it, there’s actually been very little change one way or the other.

Reports are claiming that Arsenal are favourites to sign Manchester City’s Wilfried Bony but we’re not, Everton are.

On Thursday, the rumours surrounding Valencia centre-back, Shkodran Mustafi, to Arsenal kicked up a notch and his agent confirmed that he’s come to an agreement with the club. Here’s all the latest.

After reports from Germany emerged claiming that Mesut Ozil is happy to extend his contract with Arsenal unless Real Madrid come for him, The Times decided to run with the story that we’re worried because Mesut and Alexis Sanchez are yet to commit their future to the club.

Claudio Ranieri has faced his latest round of questioning about Leicester City winger, Riyad Mahrez, with a mixture of confusion and indigence.

In honour of Shkodran Mustafi maybe, potentially, possibly, reportedly being about to sign for Arsenal, Who Scored decided to release a little stat: the Valencia centre-back has completed the most interceptions in La Liga for the last two seasons!

Wednesday was full of the usual fun – I mean that sarcastically, of course – and some news.

Despite Wolfsburg boss Dieter Hecking claiming that the German club haven’t received any bids for Julian Draxler, PSG are still reportedly interested.

By this stage, I think we’re all very much aware that Mauro Icardi isn’t coming to Arsenal; in fact, he’s being reported to have a meeting with Napoli soon.

According to just about every news outlet there is, Arsenal are well into negotiations with Valencia over centre-back, Shkodran Mustafi.
