      An injury to Mohamed Elneny has left the league leaders particularly light in the middle of the park.
      And a recent £7m bid for Lokonga from Ligue 1 side Monaco was rebuffed, according to Foot Mercato.
      With Arsenal currently top of the Prem, as well as still in the FA Cup and Europa League, Arteta will need to rely on his entire squad.
      So a knee injury to Elneny leaves Lokonga as their only available midfield cover for Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey, although Oleksandr Zinchenko can also play there.

      Belgian international Lokonga has started just two Prem games this season, but has featured 14 times in all competitions.
      The Gunners have already rejected a request from Monaco to take Lokonga on loan for the rest of the season.
      Instead Arteta has eyes on adding to his midfield before the transfer deadline on Tuesday.
      The Gunners have failed in a £60million bid for Brighton ace Moises Caicedo.

      “But if there’s anyone available who can make us better we will look at it.” More

      The final nail in the coffin for Schreuder was a draw with FC Volendam.
      Ajax had a staggering 31 shots in the match to Volendam’s two, yet only drew 1-1 with the relegation battlers after Mohammed Kudus scored a late equaliser.
      In a statement, Ajax said: “Ajax has removed Alfred Schreuder from active duty with immediate effect.
      “The manager’s contract ran till June 30, 2024, but has been terminated.

      “The disappointing results and lack of development within the team are the main reason for this decision. The management of the club is no longer confident about their agreement.”
      Under current Manchester United boss Ten Hag, Ajax won the last three full Eredivisie league campaigns – with one campaign in the middle voided due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
      On top of their league struggles, which see them sitting down in fifth, Ajax failed to progress from their Champions League group, though did earn a Europa League play-off spot against Union Berlin by coming third.
      Following his Ajax departure, Ten Hag has set about the mammoth task of turning around the fortunes of the Red Devils.

      Newcastle have returned to the negotiating table following their interest in the summer.

      However, after Gordon missed training for the third day in a row, the club are set to be forced to accept lower offers.
      According to The Telegraph, this rebellious attitude – with Gordon telling the club he does not want to return – has weakened Everton’s position.

      This means that instead of holding out for a package worth £60m, they are only likely to be able to fetch £40m.
      With the window slamming shut in a number of days, Everton need to sell Gordon in order to make funds available for their next manager to spend before the deadline.
      Gordon has scored three times in the Premier League this season from 16 games but has failed to add any assists to this tally – not helped by creating just 0.5 Expected Assists.

      That is despite a change of management, with Duncan Ferguson the new boss at the eco-friendly League One basement boys.
      But according to the Manchester Evening News, the Red Devils are keen for another quartet of their rising stars to go out on loan to gain first-team action.
      Erik ten Hag does not plan to use the youngsters in his team in their quest to secure Champions League football next term.
      And therefore the players are in talks to secure temporary exits away from Old Trafford.

      The 19-year-old striker went on a work experience loan to Sheffield Wednesday last season which permitted him to train but not play official matches.
      Defenders Di’Shon Bernard and Bjorn Hardley are in a similar position to McNeill and are keen to get some action to continue their development.
      United will only allow the duo loan moves if minutes are secured – but could even sell them if the right offer came in.

      Lastly, Zidane Iqbal is another exciting talent gaining plenty of attention.
      Iqbal made his first-team debut in the Champions League draw with Young Boys in December 2021 as Ralf Rangnick also brought Savage, Shola Shoretire and Teden Mengi off the bench – plus veteran goalkeeper Tom Heaton.
      Iqbal has not played since but now trains with the first-team stars and is considered part of the senior squad.
      Ten Hag only has five midfielders more experienced than Iqbal available for the rest of the season following Donny van de Beek’s injury – and therefore is reluctant to risk being left short as the club targets silverware.
