Elsewhere, the Gunners have been given a huge BOOST in their pursuit of Serge Gnabry.
The German star has rejected Bayern Munich’s final contract, according to reports.
Gnabry, 26, has one year left on his deal with the Bavarians and the German giants will be keen to avoid losing him on a free.
And Arsenal have officially confirmed that they have cut ties with their 2018/2019 Player of the Season Alexandre Lacazette.

Arsenal target Tammy says he’s joining Liverpool
Tammy Abraham has sent Liverpool fans into a frenzy after making a comment to Trent Alexander-Arnold during England training.
Roma’s ex-Chelsea striker, 24, sparked transfer rumours after telling the right-back: “I’m joining you guys next season.”
His admission was captured in a video which has been shared across social media.
Some Liverpool supporters are now convinced that he was hinting at a potential move to Anfield.
One excited fan tweeted: “I want this to happen, we obviously need a target man for those crosses. I wanna see what Klopp cooks up with him.”
Another said: “Would be a great signing!!”
Abraham joined Roma on a five-year deal last summer for a fee of £34million.
He made an instant impact upon his arrival in Italy and quickly cemented his spot in Jose Mourinho’s starting line-up.
In 37 appearances this season he has scored 17 goals – making him the highest English scorer in a single Serie A season.
His impressive form has attracted the attention of various Premier League clubs, including Arsenal.
We can steal Tiele
Arsenal are “convinced” they can complete the bargain signing of £25million Leicester star Youri Tielemans.
Tielemans is on the Gunners’ radar, and according to the Mirror, the North Londoners are “convinced” they can pull a deal off.
The midfielder is available for just £25m this summer as he is entering the final year of his Foxes contract.
The Belgium international is said to still be keen on a move to Arsenal despite them narrowly missing out on Champions League football.
Midfield isn’t the only area of the pitch manager Mikel Arteta is looking to improve in
Nu-go Tavares
Arsenal are reportedly prepared to offload Nuno Tavares on loan after just one season.
The Portuguese left-back was guilty of inconsistent performances when deputising for Kieran Tierney.
And according to The Athletic, Tavares could be available for loan to aid his development.
Though they state he could be on the move in January to give time to impress in the Europa League group stage.
Lacazette writes emotions goodbye statement
Alexandre Lacazette has declared it was a “dream come true” to sign for Arsenal after it was announced he will be leaving the club.
Taking to social media, he said: “5 years ago, my dream came true.. To sign for Arsenal.
“It’s been an honour to wear the jersey, to be a part of this family.
“I won trophies, I met real and nice people, and I fell even more in love with this club.
“Good luck for the future of the club and the fans, it’s been a pleasure.
“Once a gunner, Always a Gunner. Thank you Arsenal.”
Serge Gnabry boost
Arsenal transfer target Serge Gnabry has rejected Bayern Munich’s latest contract offer.
With one year left on his deal at the Allianz Arena, the Gunners have been linked with bringing Gnabry to the Emirates.
According to Sport Bild, the North Londoners could have received positive news in their quest to sign the winger.
They state that the Germany international has turned down Bayern’s latest contract proposal, with the club not willing to improve their offer.
No further talks are planned, and a sale is now likely with the German champions keen to offload the 26-year-old to avoid losing him on a free
Lacaz-exit
Arsenal have announced that Alexandre Lacazette will leave later this month when his contract expires.
An official statement read: “Alex Lacazette will be leaving us at the end of his current contract, which runs until June 30.”
Manager Mikel Arteta said: “Laca has been a fantastic player for us.
“He’s been a real leader on and off the pitch and has been a very important influence to our younger players.
“His commitment with us has been exceptional and we wish him and his family success and happiness”.
Gunners to bank in on Bellerin
Arsenal are unwilling to let Hector Bellerin leave on a free transfer this summer.
Bellerin spent the last season on loan at Real Betis and revealed his wish to stay there permanently in an emotional goodbye message.
The Gunners though are refusing to release him from his contract, according to Estadio Deportivo.
The right-back has just one year remaining on his current deal and is said to be open to having it ripped up.
That would save the North Londoners around £100,000-a-week on wages but the club are not likely to sanction the Spain international’s wishes.
Luc for it
Lazio have entered the race to sign Arsenal outcast and Fiorentina loanee Lucas Torreira.
The Viola have failed to trigger their option to buy Torreira on a permanent deal worth £12.5million.
Now, Tuttomercatoweb.com claim Lazio boss and former Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri wants to bring the midfielder to Rome.
The story also claims that Fiorentina are still hopeful of a deal for the Uruguay international.
Aaron Hickey blow
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is said to have “doubts” over the potential signing of Bologna star Aaron Hickey.
That gives a major boost to other suitors, such as Brentford who are also hoping to land Hickey in the summer.
The Gunners want the left-back to cover for fellow Scot Kieran Tierney, whose injury problems continue to plague his career.
Meanwhile, the Bees only have one pair of recognised senior full-backs, with Rico Henry their only natural option on the left side of Thomas Frank’s back five.
According to the Mirror, there are ‘doubts’ over the interest Arsenal are said to be expressing in the 19-year-old.

Tavares available on loan

And according to The Athletic, Tavares could be available for loan to aid his development.
Though they state he could be on the move in January to give time to impress in the Europa League group stage.
Faith in Jesus
Arsenal are increasingly confident of sealing a deal for Manchester City ace Gabriel Jesus.
But manager Mikel Arteta is scaling back on his plans for a major spending spree after initially targeting up to seven new transfers.
Now Arteta may have to settle for just three new faces as the Gunners count the cost of missing out on Champions League qualification.
And that will leave the Spanish tactician relying on many of the players who came up just short in the fight with Tottenham for a fourth place finish last season.
Arteta has told technical director Edu that he requires a squad of 22 outfield players to cope with the extra demands of Europa League football next term.
The former Manchester City coach currently has just 16, although Eddie Nketiah is expected to accept the offer of a new £100,000-a-week deal to keep him at the Emirates for another five years
