Arsenal evening headlines as fans in meltdown after Gabriel Magalhaes transfer theory

Here are the Arsenal evening headlines for Wednesday August 26.

Ceballos wants to sign for Arsenal

Dani Ceballos wants to rejoin Arsenal from Real Madrid, according to reports in Spain .

The midfielder spent 2019/20 on loan at the Emirates and looks likely to be available again in the upcoming campaign.

AC Milan are also rumoured to be interested - but the 24-year-old has told Real that he would like to go back to the Gunners.

He could also be available permanently for a fee of £22.5million.

Southgate on Saka omission from England squad

England manager Gareth Southgate has explained why he left Bukayo Saka out of his forthcoming squad for the Nations League clashes against Denmark and Iceland.

The squad appears to be lacking in left backs - a position in which the academy graduate has shone in recent months.

"I feel he's more of an attacking player. I know he's played at left-back and he's given good contributions there in an attacking sense certainly,” Southgate said to journalists.

"I know he's played in midfield and on the right as well - he’s a very exciting player. It's still early for him but he's a player we like and we [are] monitoring [him] very closely."

Fan theory on Gabriel Magalhaes announcement

Supporters are expecting Arsenal to announce the arrival of Gabriel Magalhaes at the club any time now.

Their hopes of the Lille defender signing have been boosted with the circulation of a video on social media, which seems to show somebody posing for photos while wearing the team's away kit .

But nobody is quite sure who it is - with opinion divided between Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Gabriel, and others suggesting it could simply be stills from a music video being shot at the Emirates.
