Morning, Arsenal fans
The Gunners might lose out to Chelsea again for a SECOND winger.
Having landed Mykhailo Mudryk for £88million, the Blues are ready to step in for Arsenal and Tottenham target Leandro Trossard.
Spurs were rated favourites to land Brighton’s Belgium wideman, 28.
But if Chelsea do complete a double hijack by signing Trossard it would put even more pressure on Arsenal to win the summer race for Declan Rice.
The Gunners are the bookies’ top tips in the battle for West Ham’s England midfielder.
Meanwhile, Moussa Diaby’s representatives believe a January switch to the Emirates is unlikely.
Newcastle have also been linked with the France winger, 23.
But Bayer Leverkusen appear to be holding firm with their reported £88m valuation.
Arsenal are said to be “very positive” that prodigies Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka and William Saliba will pen new long contracts.
It comes amid some pretty wild gossip, including claims Manchester City will come in for Saka at the end of the season.
Finally, the Gunners are willing to let fringe right-back Cedric Soares, 31, speak to Fulham over a January move.
