    Pundit claims unlikely transfer for Gunners

    Ex-Arsenal striker Kevin Campbell has outlined the one signing he would like to see his old club make this summer.

    That player is Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku.

    Campbell believes, because of his style, he would make Arsenal a team other sides hate playing against.

    Whether their London rivals would be willing to sell the 30-year-old is another thing but the recent transfer of Jorginho from West London may suggest otherwise.

    David James has told West Ham star Declan Rice that her should turn down the advances of Arsenal this summer.

    The former West Ham goalkeeper has said that he hopes his old side can win the Europa Conference League final and talk the midfielder into staying.

    Arsenal plan swoop for relegated star

    Mikel Arteta is keen on bringing James Maddison to The Emirates this summer.

    The England international only has one-year left on his Foxes contract and with the side relegated from the Premier League this season, is very unlikely to feature for them next season.

    It is thought that Leicester want in the region of £40m for the midfielder, a figure that should work well with the budget at the club's disposal.

    Ex-Arsenal defender, Martin Keown, has said that he is not worried about the appointment of Ange Postecoglou at their North London rivals.

    He said that when Antonio Conte joined them, he was concerned that the serial-winner may bring silverware to Spurs.

    The appointment of the ex-Celtic manager has not struck the same fear into Keown however.

    Gunners linked with Hazard rebirth

    Arsenal have once again been linked with a move for Real Madrid’s Eden Hazard.

    With the midfielder seemingly set to leave the Bernabau this summer, The Gunners have been talked about as a potential destination.

    Having played for Chelsea for so long, it is difficult seeing the player willing to go to one of their rivals but the same would have been said about Mauricio Pochettino not so long ago.

    Whether Arteta feels the 32-year-old can add the required quality to the squad remains to be seen.

    Caicedo poses questions on Gunners' position

    Arsenal have been long-term admirers of Moises Caicedo, having lodged a bid for him earlier in the season.

    While Brighton turned down the offer, despite the player having already seemingly said his goodbyes on social media, his season took an unexpected turn.

    Due to the needs of The Seagulls, Caicedo had to slot in as right back for a large part of the season, starring in the emphatic win at The Emirates.

    This poses the question as to where Mikel Arteta sees him fitting in at the club should they sign him.
