Here is your Arsenal morning digest for Monday, August 31.
Gabriel message to Luiz
Arsenal fans are desperately waiting for the club to announce the arrival of Gabriel Magalhaes.
Starring for Lille in Ligue 1 last season, the Gunners appear to have won the race for the Brazilian's signature amid links with Manchester United, Everton and Napoli.
A £25million fee has been agreed for the centre-back, who has reportedly completed his medical, and fans are now waiting for official confirmation from the club.
And Gabriel had a message for David Luiz after Arsenal's FA Community Shield win vs Liverpool.
Diawara transfer interest confirmed
The agent of Roma midfielder Amadou Diawara - Daniele Piraino - claims that Arsenal are interested in securing his services this summer.
The 23-year-old, formerly of Napoli, has been closely linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium in recent weeks as Mikel Arteta, the Gunners head coach, aims to beef up his midfield options.
Now, the 23-year-old's agent has confirmed that Arsenal are keen on him, but also admitted that his client's main focus remains on his career at Roma.
Partey blow
Inter Milan have joined the race to sign Thomas Partey from Atletico Madrid.
The combative midfielder has been heavily linked with Arsenal this summer but the club are unlikely to make any more deals until players are sold.
Gazzetta dello Sport claim the Serie A club now see Partey as an ideal man to beef up their midfield.
Atletico value the midfielder at £45million although they are keen to offer him fresh terms.
