Here are the Arsenal evening headlines on Saturday August 8.
Magalhaes’ imminent transfer decision
Reported Arsenal target Gabriel Magalhaes is set to make a decision on his future over the course of this weekend.
The Lille centre-back has been linked with a switch to the Gunners after an impressive season in Ligue 1.
ESPN are reporting that the Brazilian defender will make a decision about where he wants to move, with Manchester United and Everton also linked.
The Express state that there is a price-tag of around £25-27million for Magalhaes, but the Gunners are set to face stern competition.
Everything we know about potential Coutinho deal
Arsenal have been linked with a host of players already in the summer transfer window, as Mikel Arteta looks to guide the Gunners back to the Champions League.
One of those players is former Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho, who is now playing for Barcelona, but is thought to be surplus to requirements at the Nou Camp.
Here is a quick round-up of everything we know so far about Coutinho potentially moving to the Emirates Stadium.
Gunners could miss out on next Martinelli
Edu’s role at Arsenal could have an impact on the Gunners signing undiscovered talent - like they did when Gabriel Martinelli was brought in last year.
The Brazilian forward has been a revelation since joining the north London side and flourished when called upon last season.
However, Edu’s new approach with scouting talent is understood to be one that relies heavily on data and video analysis.
The Gunners will now not have the chance to watch potential new signings in the flesh, and perhaps find out more about the sort of individual they are looking at. James Benge has more.
