Here are your Arsenal morning headlines for Friday, June 19.
Arsenal unlikely to call on Saliba
Arsenal’s defensive crisis has worsened this week with Pablo Mari set to miss the remainder of the season after suffering injury against Manchester City and David Luiz suspended for two games after his red card at the Etihad Stadium.
With Callum Chambers also unavailable due to injury, Mikel Areta only has Shkodran Mustafi, Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Rob Holding to turn to
Or does he?
There have been suggestions that William Saliba could feature this season as Saint-Etienne’s campaign is already and his loan deal expires on June 30.
However, as outlined by football.london it's highly unlikely the French youngster features for the Gunners this term as there is an agreement among Premier League sides that loan players can not play for their parent clubs before the end of the season.
Gunners eye Roma winger
Arsenal are keen on a summer move for Roma winger and Turkey international Cengiz Under.
It is claimed by Corriere dello Sport , via The Mail , that the Gunners are monitoring the player alongside Manchester United, who see the 22-year-old as an affordable alternative to Borussia Dortmund ace Jadon Sancho.
Roma are prepared to cash in on Under - who has three league goals but no assists this season - and the winger is valued at around £27 million.
Justin Kluivert, also of Roma, and Ryan Fraser, out of contract at Bournemouth this summer, are alternative options for the Gunners.
Arsenal identify Ozil replacement
RB Salzburg star Dominik Szoboszlai could be the long-term replacement for Mesut Ozil at Arsenal.
The German star has long been linked with an exit from the Gunners and the club will need to find a replacement for the playmaker when he does eventually depart.
And as outlined by football.london , the 19-year-old Hungarian international has the perfect skill set and could be the ideal Ozil replacement.
However, it's likely he could only be lured to the Emirates by the prospect of Champions League football.
Szoboszlai has notched 12 assists this season for the Austrian club and usually starts on the left side of an attacking unit for Salzburg.
