Arsenal have yet again found a new goalkeeper that they want to add to the squad this summer. Borussia Monchengladbach keeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen has rejected interest from Arsenal in the hope of forcing through a dream move to Barcelona this summer because of the situation with Victor Valdes.

This will be another blow to Arsenal who have been searching Europe relentlessly it seems for the last couple of weeks. The club have already made an official bid for Portuguese keeper Rui Patricio and are hot on the heels of QPR’s Julio Cesar and Barcelona’s Victor Valdes who is causing a strange situation between Arsenal and Barcelona as they both try to secure his signature while looking for potential replacements.  .......Read more here.....

Arsenal are closing in on a deal to sign young French striker Yaya Sanogo from French club Auxerre. Arsenal have been linked with lots of players already in the last few weeks but the deal for Sanogo is the only one that Wenger has commented on himself.

Wenger admits that the deal is in it’s final stages and it is very likely that there will be a new French striker at the club next season.

In the last few days there have been reports of a former Gunner returning to Arsenal in the summer, in the player of a certain Cesc Fabregas. I, as like most people would be absolutely ecstatic if Fabregas was to return to Arsenal in the summer and who knows it may happen. But this time it’s another ex-arsenal player that’s in the headlines for a return.

Carlos Vela is a player that has had rumours of a return surrounding him for the majority of the second half of the season, mainly due to his impressive form in Spain, and it’s the constant rumours that make me believe that maybe there is some real truth in this story.  .......Read more here.....

Arsene Wenger has shown the kind of loyalty to Arsenal that we wish a lot of his players had dome in recent years. It must be difficult for the Frenchman, because he seems to keep producing top class players only for them to leave the club in search of more money or guaranteed silverware.
