According to reports, Arsenal have joined Premier League rivals Liverpool in the race to sign Netherlands international Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan.

While Manchester City are said to have 'looked' at Zubimendi, Arsenal are seriously weighing up whether to test Sociedad's resolve. And as if the stars have aligned perfectly for Arteta, one of Zubimendi's big-hitting rival suitors - Liverpool - may no longer have a need to sign the Spanish international.

Nicolas Pepe has opened up on his ‘tense and frustrating’ relationship with Mikel Arteta during his ill-fated spell at Arsenal. Unai Emery made Pepe Arsenal’s record signing in 2019, buying him from Lille for £72million. Having been a prolific goal-scorer and creator in France, it was thought that the winger would fire the Gunners back to glory.
