Here's all the news from around the Emirates Stadium over the past 24 hours.
Mikel Arteta transcript
Mikel Arteta faced the media ahead of Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final tie against Sheffield United and one of the major talking points was the future of Matteo Guendouzi.
A report in France on Friday morning has claimed that the Gunners have told the 21-year-old that he will be allowed to leave the club if they receive a €40million (£36.3m) offer.
However, the Spanish tactician wasn't giving too much away when asked if the Frenchman will be at the club next season.
"All the players that are here, I’m counting on them. If they want to jump on the boat, they are more than welcome and that’s always my mindset," Arteta responded.
"I’m here to help all of them improve individually and collectively and that is my job."
Gabriel Martinelli injury blow
Arsenal have confirmed that Gabriel Martinelli will miss the remainder of the 2019/20 season after picking up a left knee injury in training last Sunday.
The club also stated that a successful arthroscopic procedure was undertaken to repair a lesion in the cartilage of the left knee.
An official statement reads : "Left knee. Sustained injury during training on 21 June. Successful arthroscopic procedure undertaken to repair a lesion in the cartilage of the left knee.
"Will not be available for the current schedule of remaining 2019/20 matches."
Arsenal have had rotten luck with injuries since returning from lockdown as Martinelli joins Pablo Mari and Bernd Leno on the list of long-term injuries.
Sokratis and Granit Xhaka suffered minor setbacks in the first week back, but returned to the squad against Southampton which means Calum Chambers is the other long-term absentee.
Redknapp claim
Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp would struggle with current Arsenal squad.
That's the view of Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp who has also expressed his fears for the north London outfit.
“I think the way the club’s been run, on and off the field, is not something I associate with a club that I have so much respect for after watching them for so many years, playing against them in all the glory years with the Invincibles and previously, it’s a club that’s normally so well run," he said.
"I fear for them right now, I really do. I think they’re a complete mess and they don’t deserve to be.
"The manager, whoever it is, give Pep Guardiola or Jurgen Klopp that group of players, and they would struggle."
Advanced Szoboszlai negotiations
Arsenal are reportedly in advanced negotiations over a deal to bring Red Bull Salzburg midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai to the Emirates Stadium this summer.
That's according to French journalist Manu Lonjon, who also states that the Gunners face competition from AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain.
"PSG asked about Dominik Szoboszlai (RB Salzburg). Profile quite similar to that of Milinkovic-Savic," Lonjon said on Twitter.
"Other big clubs on it. The player's entourage was probed and not insensitive to interest. Cost 25/30M."
"Arsenal and AC Milan well advanced."
So it would appear that the north London outfit are well placed to secure a £22m-£27m deal for Szoboszlai, could he be a replacement for Guendouzi?
