Firstly, the reliable Julien Laurens sounds optimistic about Arsenal doing a deal for Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar.
The Frenchman has been strongly linked as a top target for the Gunners for much of the summer, and Laurens now expects that a formal offer is imminent.
He also believes this is a move that “could happen”, which sounds like a big claim from a trusted source who doesn’t tend to speculate unless the story has real substance.
Another reliable source, Mohamed Bouhafsi, has also claimed Arsenal are closing in on the signing of a new goalkeeper.
He tweeted earlier today that AFC have struck a deal to sign Dijon shot-stopper Runar Alex Runarsson, who has already started the first part of his medical.
With Emiliano Martinez leaving the Emirates Stadium, Runarsson looks a fine replacement as backup ‘keeper.
Finally, Arsenal are also in a battle with Liverpool for the signing of Sporting Lisbon wonderkid Nuno Mendes.
The north London giants would have to pay €45million for the talented 18-year-old, who has shown huge promise at left-back for Sporting’s first-team.
This could already earn him a big move and Arsenal will hope they can beat their rivals to this exciting signing.
