There had been speculation in a number of British tabloids of late linking Arsenal with a move for Colombian playmaker James Rodriguez, who is currently on-loan at Bayern Munich from Real Madrid. However, respected German football expert Raphael Honigstein has poured cold water on the story, suggesting it would be crazy for Bayern Munich to cut short their two-year loan deal at this point.

Arsenal does not have the funds to sign Rodriguez

We all now know that Arsenal can only make loan signings in the January transfer window. That leaves the question of how the Gunners could afford the Colombian international if boss Unai Emery is restricted to signing loan players.  .......Read more here.....

The transfer of Denis Suarez from Barcelona to Arsenal is one step closer after the two clubs held talks with a positive outcome, the Mirror have reported.

Manager Unai Emery is extremely keen on Suarez coming to the Emirates this month. However, the manager is still facing several difficult circumstances in which the deal needs to be completed.  .......Read more here.....

According to Spanish publication Don Balon, Arsenal are pondering a big money bid for Bayern Munich playmaker James Rodriguez. The Colombian is currently on-loan at the Bavarian club from Real Madrid.

The German giants have an option to purchase the player on a permanent deal. However, Bayern look unlikely to decide to exercise their right to extend the playmaker’s stay in Bavaria beyond the summer.

The 27-year-old has endured a mixed spell with the German giants. Reportedly, the player wished to open talks with Bayern about his long-term future.  .......Read more here.....

We’re no strangers to the dreaded rumour mill, but to be perfectly honest, we’re much more used to seeing it in action for players as opposed to managers. The game has come a long way and as such fans are much more invested in things that they didn’t give all too much thought to once upon a time – such as the managerial merry go round.  .......Read more here.....

We’re revisiting one of our favourite subjects in the whole world (can you sense the sarcasm?) – yes, we’re referring to Aaron Ramsey. The Gunners midfielder has had what many would describe as an interesting journey throughout the course of the last twelve months at the Emirates, and people would interpret the word ‘interesting’ in many different ways. Essentially, the Welshman has been embroiled in a contract dispute with the club, and it feels like it’s never going to end.  .......Read more here.....

According to the Independent, German giants Bayern Munich are confident of signing Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey on a free transfer next summer. The midfielder’s contract saga has run for a long time now. The will he won’t he sign a new deal with the north London club has now stopped, as it is clear he won’t sign a new deal with the Gunners.

Reportedly wanted too much money

According to media reports, Arsenal baulked at Ramsey’s contract demands. With his contract running down and the time ticking until he was a free agent, he and his representatives thought they could take advantage of the situation.  .......Read more here.....

There has been a variety of rumours floating around in the wake of Arsene Wenger revealing that he wants to return to management (or football in some manner). The Frenchman has never been one to keep his cards close to his chest so it wasn’t exactly surprising to see him make the revelation, and while he may have hinted at a move to Japan, it certainly does feel like he’s destined to take on another role in Europe.  .......Read more here.....

There have been plenty of rumours floating around in regards to who Arsenal could end up going after next. Some are a little bit more realistic than others but either way, there’s no denying that it’s an exciting time to be a fan of Arsenal Football Club. With a handful of new faces already making their way to the Emirates, the question remains: what positions still need work?

Alas, as it turns out, it seems as if Unai Emery is still interested in bolstering his attacking options ever so slightly. Aubameyang and Lacazette will likely run the show when the new season begins but it’s nice to have options, and unsurprisingly, Kingsley Coman is quite the option to have.  .......Read more here.....

According to the Guardian, Arsenal boss Unai Emery is looking to sign Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman this summer to add pace to wide options. A reported asking price of £44million is likely to scupper any interest, though.

As we all know, reported Arsenal have had a limited budget to spend on new arrivals this summer and have already spent it on signing the likes of Bernd Leno, Sokratis and Lucas Torreira, while adding Stephan Lichtsteiner on a free.  .......Read more here.....

It seems that Arsenal are one of the main characters in the ‘Where will Thomas Tuchel be managing next season’ saga. Recent reports from the German media really confused the situation surrounding the talented boss.

One German media organisation claimed that Tuchel had signed a deal with Arsenal, while another completely contradicted its competitor saying that Tuchel is more likely to move to Paris.

Bayern the preferred option for Tuchel

Now according to Sky Sports, the former Dortmund boss’ most likely destination this summer is German giants Bayern Munich. The move would be an understandable one for Tuchel.  .......Read more here.....
