The international break is in full swing, and that means that plenty rumours are flying around with quotes from those on duty with their national teams to help spark them.
There are only three and a half months until the summer window opens, and clubs will be forming their strategy and Arsenal said to be at an advanced stage already.
However with some prospective transfers the Gunners might already be falling behind but there is also plenty of hope around for the future.
Here are the latest updates and rumours for the players Arsenal have been linked with.

Nacho Monreal
Barcelona are attempting to sign a back-up left-back for Jordi Alba, and Arsenal defender Nacho Monreal is considered to be “best placed” for the role.
The 33-year-old supposedly “already knows” of the interest from the Spanish giants, according to Sport via Sport Witness , and would be happy to make the move to Camp Nou.
Barcelona know they are in a difficult position in terms of attracting quality at left-back due to Alba’s dominance in the position, and the new long-term contract the Spain international signed earlier this month.
However, they believe that Monreal or Liverpool left-back Alberto Moreno would be preferable understudies to Alba, and feel they could both be tempted to leave their current teams in the Premier League.

Marcus Thuram
Arsenal are hoping to sign Guingamp striker Marcus Thuram on a cut-price deal if the Ligue 1 side suffer relegation this season.
The French side are currently 18th in the league with nine games to go, sitting in the relegation play-off place, and seven points shy of safety, with Dijon and Caen one and two points behind, respectively.
Thuram’s contract expires in the summer, and the striker is strongly linked with an exit from Guingamp at the end of the season, after so far scoring 11 goals despite the club’s poor form.
Borussia Dortmund are also said to be interested in the 21-year-old son of France legend LIlian, according to Le10 Sport .

Christopher Nkunku
According to Paris Team , Arsenal are preparing a €35m (£30m) bid for PSG’s Christopher Nkunku.
This move was mooted in the January transfer window but PSG wanted to agree a new contract with the 21-year-old if he was to go to Arsenal and there was far too little time to realistically get that done.

Yannick Carrasco
Arsenal’s January transfer target Yannick Carrasco has spoken out and said that he hopes to return to Europe.
The Gunners were believed to be in talks with the Belgian over a loan deal right up until deadline day when it was reported that the loan fee offered by the north London side was too low.
The Belgian has opened up on that failed move and offered hope to Unai Emery over a deal in the summer.
"I would like to return to Europe.
A lot of teams were interested. We tried to find a solution so that I could leave. But I also understand Dalian Yifang. It wanted me to stay."
