Arsenal Gossip Archives: 08/2016

Valencia boss, Pako Ayestaran, has claimed that Shkrodran Mustafi is not for sale so… what on earth do Arsenal do now?

West Brom have reportedly valued former Manchester United defender, Jonny Evans, at £30m.

West Ham could be about to sign supposed Arsenal target Wilfried Bony if Slaven Bilic’s recent comments are anything to go by.

After all the drama surrounding Shkodran Mustafi’s rumoured move to Arsenal on Monday, it’s easy to get carried away when he’s left out of Valencia’s starting lineup v Las Palmas.

Alexandre Lacazette has reiterated that he’s not leaving Lyon.

Real Madrid have reportedly informed James Rodriguez that he’s staying at the club this summer.

Arsenal were first linked with Islam Slimani back in May when he laughed at his £12m Transfermarkt valuation, and the latest reports claim that we’re still ‘tempted’ to go for him.

Mathieu Flamini and Emmanuel Adebayor are set to reunite at Turkish club Caykur Rozespor with both of them reportedly being offered £1.7m a year in wages.

After ‘losing out’ on Riyad Mahrez, Arsenal have reportedly turned our attention to Porto’s Yacine Brahimi, who we could also ‘miss out’ on to Everton.

With very little in the way of actual news, we got stuck into the deep, depressing world of Arsenal gossip, including the latest on Shkodran Mustafi.

With a certain journalist claiming that Shkodran Mustafi could sign for Arsenal by Wednesday, we decided to dig into the current rumours surrounding this transfer saga.

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.

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.

This might, quite frankly, be the most pointless rumour that we’ve taken a look at this summer but given the sensationalism loaded into the headlines, we thought we should do it it anyway.

If you closed down the internet on Friday afternoon when you left work and didn’t look back, you might have missed a few things.

Over the weekend both Arsenal and Liverpool were linked with a move for Nottingham Forest’s 19-year-old right winger, Oliver Burke.

With the news that Mauro Icardi has ‘snubbed’ Arsenal, I thought I’d take a look at some of the players who have reportedly snubbed Arsenal in this window, but probably haven’t.

With Arsenal reportedly haggling over the Shkodran Mustafi transfer fee (according to press reports at least) many people are getting themselves a little worked up over it all, none more so, it seems, than Paul Merson.

Arsenal will reportedly complete the signing of Shkodran Mustafi by Wednesday according to a report from our good friend, Emmanuel Giulianelli who also claims this will only happen unless it doesn’t.

Ah, a lazy Sunday where absolutely nothing happened apart from Joel Campbell leaving, fall-out from Leicester continuing, and some gossip.
