As per <a href="https://www.givemesport.com/arsenal-interested-in-60m-premier-league-star-at-the-emirates/" target="_blank">transfer insider Dean Jones</a>, Arsenal are strongly considering a late approach to sign Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace. The Gunners are in the market to sign a replacement for Jurrien Timer, who suffered an ACL injury, and have reportedly created a four-man shortlist. That includes Victor Nelsson, Eric Garcia, Perr Schuurs and Guehi although the club are yet to make a move for any.But Jones has reported that the Gunners could table a bid just before the window closes despite the fact that the Eagles are reportedly looking for around £60m.

According to <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo</a>, Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez is unwilling to part with Eric Garica this late in the transfer window despite serious interest from Arsenal.

That list includes several names including Garcia especially, with the 22-year-old struggling to establish himself as first-choice at Barcelona. Yet while Xavi is unwilling to part with Garcia, Mundo Deportivo has revealed that Barcelona would be open to an offer north of £45m.

According to <a href="https://www.footballtransfers.com/en/transfer-news/uk-premier-league/2023/06/exclusive-arsenal-kylian-mbappe-transfer-steve-kay" target="_blank">Football Transfers</a>, Arsenal are plotting an ambitious swoop of PSG's star Kylian Mbappe. The 2018 World Cup Winner has expressed his desire to leave the French giants as a free agent next summer and the Gunners want to sign the goal scoring machine. If Real Madrid fail to sign Mbappe this season, Mikel Arteta and company can hijack Perez's plans of signing the stalwart as they look to bolster their forward department.Although pulling off the transfer won't be easy, the North London outfit will look to lure him to England next summer.

According to &nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9iMG4I0Mxs&amp;ab_channel=Colinterview-OhMyGoal">Colinteerview</a>, Arsenal winger Nicolas Pepe is scheduled to discuss his future with Mikel Arteta in the upcoming days. The Ivorian starlet moved to Nice after failing to live up to the expectations at the Emirates and has since returned to his parent club after his loan spell in Ligue 1.“Because I was loaned with a loan without an option to buy, I have to go back to Arsenal. After that, we don’t know. Go back there, see, speak with the manager and everyone to see everyone’s ideas, and only then make a decision," suggested Pepe (&nbsp;via <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9iMG4I0Mxs&amp;ab_channel=Colinterview-OhMyGoal">Colinteerview</a>).Signed for £72m in 2019 by Arsenal, Pepe could strengthen Arteta's bench strength this season especially after the North London outfit secured Champions League football.

According to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal are accelerating their process to sign Romeo Lavia from Southampton this summer. The Saints midfielder has been the silver lining in a disastrous campaign for Southampton who finished at the foot of the table.And Romano believes that the Gunners could use Bukayo Saka's agent in order to facilitate the process. Saka and Lavia share the same agent and Arsenal have good contacts with him. “Arsenal are of course busy with Declan Rice, he is their top target in midfield, but they could make one more signing in that position, and it is true that Romeo Lavia of Southampton is one of the players on their list – they like him, they consider him a top talent,” Romano said in his <a href="https://caughtoffside.substack.com/p/excl-midfield-revolution-at-arsenal">exclusive CaughtOffside column</a>. With Chelsea currently focusedd on Moises Caicedo, Mikel Arteta could get his hands on the former Manchester City midfielder.

According to the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/jun/17/arsenal-kai-havertz-bayern-munich-transfers?CMP=share_btn_tw" target="_blank">Guardian</a>, Arsenal are looking to increase their offer for Kai Havertz as they look to sign the German international. The German international has had an inconsistent tenure at Chelsea and the Gunners are looking to lure him to the Emirates to bolster their forward battery. Having seen their first bid rejected, Mikel Arteta's side are looking to approach the London club with their second offer worth £60m. Although the Blues' asking price is £75m, the report suggests that they could be flexible about the offer boosting Arsenal's chances of signing Havertz.
