GNABRY SWIPE
Ex-Arsenal player Serge Gnabry took a dig at both of the Gunners’ London rivals, Tottenham and Chelsea, ahead of Germany’s clash with England at Wembley.
Bayern Munich ace Gnabry devastated both sides last year in the Champions League and led his team to the top of Europe.
Gnabry told Bayern’s official website: “So far I’ve done very well when I’ve come back to London, hopefully on Tuesday as well.
“For me, there’s always a lot of history when we go to England because I still have some friends there as well. Hopefully they’ll be in the stadium.
“I’ve never played at Wembley before. I personally and we as a team are really looking forward to the game”
CAMAVINGA AGENT REACTS
Rennes ace Eduardo Camavinga’s agent Jonathan Barnett has hinted that the midfielder could be among his clients set for a major move amid interest from Manchester United and Arsenal.
Barnett told The Athletic: “It is going to be harder. I’m expecting three or four very big deals of my own that will break a lot of records.
“Hopefully, they’ll come about. For the smaller clubs, I think there won’t be as many transfers. We have some very good players.
“We have probably the best young player in the world in Camavinga. We’ve got [Jack] Grealish. We’ve got [Ibrahima] Konate at Leipzig. But then I’ve got over 100 players”
CAMAVINGA SITUATION
Rennes ace Eduardo Camavinga’s agent has hinted that his client could be on the move during this summer transfer window.
Camavinga enjoyed a stunning campaign in Ligue 1 and has thus attracted interest from some of Europe’s top bidders, such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
Reports suggest the midfielder will be United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s transfer priority after Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho signs with the club.
According to The Athletic, the France international’s agent, Jonathan Barnett, who also represents Luke Shaw and other elite players, has hinted that the 18-year-old could be on the move this summer
CAMAVINGA BOOST
The same report below from Fabrizio Romano also includes an important update regarding Rennes star Eduardo Camavinga.
The Gunners seem to be very keen on Camavinga, who had a stunning campaign in Ligue 1 last season.
However, Romano claims the north Londoners haven’t made an official bid for the France international
In fact, there has been absolutely no contact between the player and the club
SELL FIRST, BUY LATER
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims Arsenal will sell players first in order to fund transfers.
And it looks like they’re on the right track as Granit Xhaka is closing in on Roma and Matteo Guendouzi is keen on joining Marseille.
Hector Bellerin and Lucas Torreira could be sold for €20million (£17m) each.

BELLERIN FUTURE
Arsenal ace Hector Bellerin could be Achraf Hakimi’s replacement at Inter Milan.
Hakimi is set to join Paris Saint-Germain while Bellerin seems set to leave the Gunners.
According to Gianluca Dimarzio, the Spain international’s agent is in contact with the Nerrazuri.
Dimarzio also reports that Inter would prefer to loan the full-back with an option to buy
WHAT’S NEXT?
England face rivals Germany on Tuesday in Euro 2020’s Last 16.
This encounter brings back some bad memories for the Three Lions, who will look to exorcise the demons of the past against Joachim Low’s side.
If Gareth Southgate’s men emerge victorious then the quarter-finals are next.
And that is where Bukayo Saka and co will face either Ukraine or Sweden
CAMAVINGA BLOW?
Manchester United are set to meet with Rennes star Eduardo Camavinga’s representatives next week.
That is according to RMC, who report that United are stepping up their interest for Camavinga.
That works as a blow for Arsenal, who have also been keeping tabs on the France international who has been dubbed the “new Patrick Vieira”.
Gunners manager Mikel Arteta is determined to sign a top midfielder to team up with Thomas Partey in the middle of the park
CAM AND GET HIM
Manchester United have been linked with a move for Rennes wonderkid, and Arsenal target, Eduardo Camavinga.
That is according to the Daily Mail, who claim United could battle the Gunners for Camavinga.
The Red Devils are closing in on top target Jadon Sancho and are already thinking ahead in the summer transfer window.
However, the highly-rated French midfielder has also attracted interest from Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain
BELLS RINGING
Hector Bellerin is among the Arsenal players linked with an iminent departure.
Bellering is said to be keen on a move as he is seeking a new challenge in his career.
According to Football London, the full-back has a handful of potential suitors.
That includes the likes of Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid and Villarreal
WHITE REACTS
Brighton star Ben White has played down transfer rumours linking him to Arsenal.
That is mainly because the defender is focused on England’s upcoming clash with Germany in Euro 2020’s Round of 16.
White told talkSPORT: “You don’t know what’s true and what’s not.
“So, there’s no real point talking about it”
COME AND GUEND HIM
Arsenal outcast Matteo Gundouzi is likely to sign a new contract with the Gunners.
That is according to Le10Sport, but that doesn’t mean that the north Londoners are planning on holding on to Guendouzi.
On the contrary, Arsenal are looking to extend his contract in order to preserve his transfer value.
The midfielder’s current deal runs out next year

TRANSFER BOOST
Brighton ace Ben White was linked with Manchester United recently following a string of impressive Premier League performances that led to an England call-up.
United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is determined to sign a top centre-back to partner up with Harry Maguire at the back.
According to Manchester Evening News, however, the Red Devils were not willing to meet his £50million asking price for the England international and are thus concentrating their efforts on other defensive targets.
That paves the way for Arsenal to sign their man as they are willing to splash the cash for the 23-year-old defender
GOLDEN BOY
Arsenal are targeting Lille star Renato Sanches and are weighing up a potential summer transfer.
Sanches is reportedly interested in returning to the Premier League to prove his worth after a poor loan spell at Swansea back in 2017-18, which saw him make a mere 12 Premier League appearances.
According to 90Min, the Gunners have asked the Ligue 1 champions to keep them informed on any potential developments regarding the midfielder’s future.
Manager Mikel Arteta is on the lookout for a new midfielder to partner up with Thomas Partey in the middle of the park
REAL DEAL
Arsenal are set to battle Real Madrid over Real Sociedad ace Alexander Isak.
According to AS, Real are keen on Isak and the same goes for a number of Premier League teams, such as the Gunners.
In fact, the north Londoners have already made contact with the centre-forward’s representatives and there is a possibility they could meet his release clause, worth €70million (£59m)
But Sociedad are said to have offered the Sweden international a new deal that would see his release clause boosted to €90m (£77m), which may well put off any suitors in the current market
TIER WE GO
Arsenal ace Kieran Tierney has signed a new FIVE-YEAR contract with the Gunners worth £110,000 a week.
Tierney said: “Delighted to announce I’ve signed a new long-term deal with the club.
“I’d just like to thank you all for your support and messages always.
“Can’t wait to get started next year”
GUNNER COST YA
Brighton are playing hardball with Arsenal over star defender Ben White and demanding £50million PLUS add-ons, SunSport can exclusively reveal.
Arsenal’s second bid of £42m — in an overall deal which could have been worth £45m — has now been rejected.
A number of other top clubs had been interested in the talented centre-back.
That includes the likes of Pairs Saint-Germain, Tottenham, Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund
GETTY IMAGES MORNING, ARSENAL FANS
Brighton are making it tough for the Gunners to land main target Ben White – while Mikel Arteta is duelling Real Madrid for striker Alexander Isak.
That’s the pick of this morning’s transfer talk from around the Emirates, with Hector Bellerin, Martin Odegaard, Emile Smith Rowe and Folarin Balogun also in the spotlight.
It’s claimed Brighton are holding out for £50million PLUS add-ons for England centre-back White – following Arsenal’s improved bid of £42m.
Tottenham, Liverpool, PSG and Borussia Dortmund are also reportedly keen on the 23-year-old.
Meanwhile, Real Sociedad’s Sweden star Alexander Isak is being increasingly linked with the Emirates, despite speculation he could stay in Spain with Real Madrid
Juventus are said to be keen on a part-exchange involving Arsenal’s 19-year-old frontman Folarin Balogun and Gunners’ old boy Aaron Ramsey.
Full-back Bellerin is being monitored by Atletico Madrid, Villarreal and Inter Milan. Aston Villa are tipped to up an initial £25m offer for Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe.
Finally, Arsenal loan hit Martin Odegaard could be on his way out of Real Madrid after all.
JUVE EYE GUNNERS’ WONDERKID BALOGUN
Arsenal wonderkid Folarin Balogun is reportedly wanted by Juventus in a transfer deal involving Aaron Ramsey.
According to calciomercato.com, the Wales midfielder, 30, is desperate for a return to the Gunners.
Ramsey has struggled for form in Italy, and the Serie A giants are said to desperate to get his £400,000-a-week salary off their wage bill.
And that’s encouraged Juventus to formulate a transfer plan to get rid of the Euro 2020 star.
One player that they think highly of is Folarin Balogun, 19, who the Old Lady were linked with last season.
The highly-rated youngster made his breakthrough in Mikel Arteta’s side – scoring twice in the Europa League in the past campaign.
And Juventus are said to want to include the striker in a deal that would take Ramsey back to North London.
GUNNERS ON GAARD AGAIN?
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has hinted that Arsenal loanee Martin Odegaard could be allowed to leave the club this summer.
Odegaard spent the second half of last season at the Emirates and put together a string of impressive performances that convinced manager Mikel Arteta to try and sign the playmaker in the summer.
But Perez suggested the Norway international could be allowed to leave either via permanent transfer or another loan deal.
The Real supremo said: “We have 35 players and can only register 25… [Dani] Ceballos, [Takefusa] Kubo, Odegaard, we can’t fit them all.
“We’re talking with players and their agents. We have a lot of young players, if they can’t develop here they can go on loan and come back.”
TOFFEES STEAL A MARCNH ON UTD AND ARSENAL TARGET
Everton are in talks with Juventus to sign Manchester United and Arsenal target Merih Demiral, reports say.
The Toffees have now been set an asking price for the defender they have long sought.
A report from Italian outlet Tuttosport claims the Serie A outfit want €40million (£37.5m) for the centre-back.
Everton were plotting a £26m move for Demiral in March, so owner Farhad Moshiri will have to spend more than he planned to get his man.
Talks between the two clubs had reportedly taken place before Juventus decided to up their price.
And Everton are not prepared to make a new bid until they appoint a manager.
SEAGULLS PLAY IT TOUGH ON WHITE
Brighton are playing hardball with Arsenal over Ben White and demanding £50million PLUS add-ons, SunSport can exclusively reveal.
Arsenal’s second bid of £42m — in an overall deal which could have been worth £45m — has now been turned down.
A number of other top clubs had been interested in the England centre-back.
That includes Paris Saint-Germain, Tottenham, Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund
