Saliba SNUBS Arsenal return whilst Gunners go in for Marseille ace Kamara, Saka has ‘no intentions’ of leaving

‘Six clubs want Arsenal target Jesus’

Manchester City’s £55million valuation of Gabriel Jesus has made Arsenal think twice – but FIVE other clubs are reportedly keen on the Brazil striker.

Mikel Arteta has made signing at least one new frontman a major priority this summer.

And Jesus’s agent Marcelo Pettinati told the Guardian last week that ‘we like the project’ offered by the Gunners,

But if they sell, City want to make back most of the £60m they paid Borussia Dortmund for goal machine Erling Haaland

And that’s a big issue for Arsenal as the 25-year-old only has one year remaining on his Etihad contract.

Jesus wants more regular starts but City chief Pep Guardiola would reportedly love to keep him.

How Arsenal could line up vs Everton

Boss Mikel Arteta could shake up his Arsenal team when Everton visit on the final day of the Premier League season, writes JOSHUA MBU.

The Gunners lost their grip on the final Champions League spot with back-to-back losses to rivals Tottenham and Newcastle.

Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka are likely to retain their places but Gabriel Martinelli could return for Emile Smith Rowe.

Alexandre Lacazette hopes to start up top = and as skipper – in what might be his final game for the Gunners as his contract expires this summer.

It may be the Frenchman’s final game for the North London club with his contract due to expire and the end of next month.

Willi stay or go?

Marseille’s impressive loanee William Saliba has hinted he’ll be back at Arsenal next season

The 21-year-old is thought to be wanted by Marseille permanently after 51 appearances for the Ligue 1 club this season.

And he is yet to make his first team debut for the Gunners since joining in 2019, but fans are hopeful he will be given his chance next season following his impressive form.

The player had repeatedly expressed his desire to remain at Marseille in recent weeks.

But his latest hint – a pair of custom Nikes with WS2 printed on them – suggests he is due to return to North London to wear the number two.

Marquinhos in London to clinch Arsenal move

Sao Paulo winger Marquinhos is in London to reportedly tie up the final details on a £3million move to Arsenal.

The 19-year-old is said to have rejected several offers of a new deal with his Brazilian club.

And Marquinhos is tipped to sign a long contract at the Emirates.

But it’s thought he’ll first be put in the Gunners’ development squad.

Paul-no to Prem move

Soon-to-be free agent Paulo Dybala has reportedly ruled out a move to England as he closes in on a transfer to Inter Milan, writes Joshua Mbu.

Dybala is set to depart Juventus after spending seven years of his club career there.

The Argentine is attracting interest from a host of Europe’s top clubs, with the likes of Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Roma all interested.

Manchester United and Tottenham, who have both been long-term admirers of the forward are also keen on exploring a possible deal.

Arteta hoping for a miracle

Arsenal welcome Everton to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday and Mikel Arteta says “we will be cheering for Norwich”.

The Gunners still have faints hopes of a top-four finish and Champions League qualification, but it’s out of their hands.

Arteta’s side MUST beat Everton and hope arch-rivals Tottenham lose to relegated Norwich.

The Spanish boss said: “Hopefully it’ll be Champions League.

“We’re going to be cheering for Norwich and after that, we’re going to take this club to the next level.”

We’re going to be cheering for Norwich.

Art attack in the transfer market

Arsenal are set to hand boss Mikel Arteta another huge transfer warchest despite missing out on Champions League qualification, reports claim.

The Spaniard spent £150million on fresh talent last summer, as he attempts to rebuild his squad, writes Etienne Fermie.

The Gunners looked set to achieve a surprise top four finish – only to blow it in the final weeks of the season.

Should Tottenham avoid defeat at Norwich on Sunday, Arsenal will be consigned to the Europa League.

According to the Telegraph, however, failure to reach Europe’s premier competition won’t affect the North Londoners’ spending power.

Club chiefs view the upcoming window as a “major opportunity” to bolster their squad.

Saliba hints on return

The 21-year-old has thrived on loan at the Ligue 1 outfit this season, having appeared in a whopping 51 games in all competitions.

Saliba is yet to make his first team debut for the Gunners since joining in 2019, but fans are hopeful he will be given his chance next season following his impressive form.

The player had repeatedly expressed his desire to remain at Marseille in recent weeks.

But his latest hint – a pair of custom Nikes with WS2 printed on them – suggests he is due to return to North London to wear the number two.

Speaking after an awards ceremony in Paris, he said: “It’s an honour, a source of pride. I dedicate this trophy to my team-mates, my club and the supporters.

“Did I play my last match with Marseille? I don’t know.

“The future will tell us. The most important thing is to confirm this good season by qualifying for the Champions League. Afterwards, we’ll see.”
