Here is your Arsenal morning digest for Saturday, July 11.
Lacazette swap
Atletico Madrid are keen on Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette this summer and are looking at potentially funding the deal with a player swap.
Lacazette had previously agreed a move to Atletico three years ago when at Lyon but a transfer ban put paid to the move.
So, if the Gunners were willing to part with the striker who could they ask for in return?
Thomas Partey seems an obvious choice, with the Ghanaian midfielder said to be Arsenal's primary summer transfer target.
Yet Partey has a relatively low release clause, which the Gunners may opt to trigger themselves instead of a swap deal.
So who else could Arsenal ask for from Atleti?
No Ozil or Guendouzi
Mikel Arteta says that neither Mesut Ozil nor Matteo Guendouzi will be involved in the North London derby.
Both players have been left out in the cold by Arteta in recent weeks, with Ozil yet to make an appearance since the Premier League restart.
Arteta gave a short response when asked about their availability on Sunday.
"No," he said. "No updates, sorry."

Big decision for Arteta
Mikel Arteta is faced with one big decision to make ahead of Arsenal's North London derby with Spurs.
With Hector Bellerin impressing against Leicester City at right wing-back, will Arteta be tempted to keep him in the side?
Cedric Soares has proven his value to the side there and was rested against the Foxes, so Arteta could be tempted to recall the Portuguese defender.
