According to the Express, Arsenal are the latest Premier League club to show an interest in Crystal Palace’s highly-rated young right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

The 21-year-old has been one of the Eagles most consistent players this season, nailing down a starring role and producing a number of impressive displays for Roy Hodgson’s team. His performances have led to reported interest from the biggest clubs in England.

Youngster in-demand this summer

The reality is that Wan-Bissaka is now one of the most highly-rated young defenders in the Premier League. His performances have led to inevitable interest from the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and now reportedly Arsenal.  .......Read more here.....

According to the Daily Mail, Arsenal are interested in signing Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera this summer. The Spaniard’s contract with the Red Devils this summer and his future in Manchester is in major doubts.

Herrera has reportedly been in talks over an extension to his deal in Manchester for the last 18 months. However, it now seems that the talks are deadlocked. Herrera is believed to favour staying at the club, but that will not happen unless the two parties come to an agreement.  .......Read more here.....

According to the father and agent of Manchester United star Antonio Valencia, Arsenal are a summer option for the Ecuadorian this summer. Luis Valencia has revealed that his son will definitely leave the Red Devils in the summer when his contract in Manchester expires.

Valencia has many summer options

Valencia senior told Ecuadorian El Universo: “He definitely will not continue in Manchester. He wants a change in the air and the club is not going to renew him either. Like everything in life, everything comes to an end.”  .......Read more here.....

Arsenal head into the international break in fourth place in the Premier League table. It is a good position for the Gunners to find themselves in at this stage of the season. Unai Emery’s side also has a favourable run in. One other factor that is encouraging is the fact that their nearest rivals are suddenly struggling for form in the Premier League. Chelsea’s 2-0 defeat at Everton yesterday was an unexpected bonus, especially as Maurizio Sarri’s side dominated the first half at Goodison Park.  .......Read more here.....

According to the Metro, reported Arsenal target Manchester United’s Eric Bailly is now surplus to requirements at Old Trafford, which means the centre-back could be on the move in the summer.

The Metro reports suggest that the United hierarchy is set to back boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with a transfer kitty of around £200million in the summer. With that sort of cash, the Red Devils can afford to bring in a new centre-back with Tottenham’s Toby Alderweireld once again linked with a move to the north west.  .......Read more here.....

Arsenal victory over Manchester United on Sunday afternoon lifted the Gunners back into fourth spot in the Premier League table. The win also means that Unai Emery’s side are within touching distance of north London rivals Tottenham in the table.

Finishing above Spurs is not the main objective for Arsenal this season, finishing in the top-four is the main aim. However, if the Gunners should also finish above their arch-rivals it would be an added bonus for Unai Emery’s team.  .......Read more here.....

Arsenal have the chance to move back into the Premier League’s top-four when the Gunners host fourth-place Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

The recent sense of optimism around the club took a slight hit on Thursday night, as Unai Emery’s side suffered a 3-1 defeat at Rennes in the last 16 of the Europa League. The Gunners have a big job on their hands turning the tie around.  .......Read more here.....

Do Arsenal need any extra motivation to get the job done against Rennes tonight? Probably not. The idea of progressing one step further in Europe should probably be motivation enough. Of course, we all know that the end goal is winning the Europa League – primarily so that the Gunners can force their way back into the Champions League. Speaking of the Champions League, we think it’s worth taking a look at one of the competition’s best games this season which took place last night.  .......Read more here.....

It’s safe to say that we’re in the business end of the football season across Europe, and that should (hopefully) lead to some pretty exciting times between now and May. When it comes to the Gunners it feels like there’s still a lot on the line for Unai Emery’s men, which is both exciting and nerve-racking in equal measure. Still, Arsenal fans will be sticking with them for the ride either way, which is bound to cause a few minor heart attacks in the next few months.  .......Read more here.....

As we all know, Arsenal drew 1-1 with north London rivals Tottenham at Wembley on Saturday lunchtime in an eventful clash.

For all the disappointment at not winning the game due to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s last gasp penalty miss and referee Anthony Taylor’s often poor decisions, a draw against Tottenham may not turn out to be the worse result in the world for Arsenal.

Not a great performance

In truth, Arsenal did not produce a great display at the national stadium. In fact, if Tottenham had not been so flat and produced a better performance the Gunners may have suffered a familiar result at Wembley.  .......Read more here.....
