Here are the Arsenal transfer rumours for Sunday, June 7
Arsenal target Juventus defender
Arsenal will battle it out with Wolverhampton Wanderers in a bid to sign Juventus defender Daniele Rugani.
Italian publication Tuttosport claims Wolves have already submitted an £18m bid for Rugani, who has struggled for game time this season under new manager Maurizio Sarri.
The 25-year-old has made just one appearance in Serie A this campaign, against Genoa.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is determined to strengthen at centre-half, with Rugani believed to be a top target.
Arsenal-linked striker set for new deal Arsenal face a blow in their pursuit of Celtic forward Odsonne Edouard, after his manager Neil Lennon claimed talks are underway about a new contract.
Arsenal-linked striker to sign new deal
Arsenal face a blow in their pursuit of Celtic forward Odsonne Edouard, after his manager Neil Lennon claimed talks are underway about a new contract.
The Gunners have been linked with the Frenchman, with a fee of around £30m being mooted.
Lennon said: “There are discussions at the minute with his [Edouard] representatives.
"Ultimately he's a player we want around. He's a fantastic player. He's really blossomed over the last couple of seasons.
"He had a magnificent season this year and we want to keep him. It's as simple as that. We're doing everything we can to keep him here for at least another season anyway.”
Mkhitaryan “can thrive in Italy”
The next few months have the potential to define Arsenal midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s career, according to a Football.London report.
Reporter Colin Millar discussed the Armenian’s future, with the midfielder currently on loan at Italian side Roma.
He wrote: “Versatility and adaptability, one of Mkhitaryan’s biggest strengths, has conversely been a weakness in England.
“He is best-suited to playing in any of the three attacking midfield roles in a 4-2-3-1 formation. “However, that has seen him sometime regarded as a jack of all trades, but the master of none.”
And, as with Roma team-mate Chris Smalling, the reduced intensity and greater tactical focus of the Italian league have provided conditions in which the player can thrive.
