Arsenal maintained their push for European football via their Premier League finish with a hard-fought victory over West Ham at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
Mikel Arteta's side now look ahead to two more crucial matches as the season comes to a close, with a midweek trip to face Manchester City followed by a visit to relegation-threatened Brighton.
While there is work to be done on the field, there is also plenty to be done behind the scenes and the summer transfer window will be a crucial period.
As a result, plenty of speculation is floating around North London and we have gathered some of the latest snippets below.
Arsenal's Willian advantage
The hunt for the services of Chelsea winger Willian looks set to be fierce when his contract at Stamford Bridge comes to a close this summer and, as identified by Football.London, Arsenal have a crucial advantage.
The Brazil international has been linked with moves to Tottenham, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona, with reports of Arsenal's interest first emerging on Sunday.
However, a move to the continent or to Manchester seems unlikely given that Willian has previously spoken about his desire to remain in London, where his family are settled.
That is a boost for both Tottenham and Arsenal, although the Gunners' North London rivals may have another advantage due to the player's relationship with Jose Mourinho.
Malen as Aubameyang replacement
Arsenal have identified their former academy prospect Donyell Malen as a long-term replacement for captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyamg, Le10 Sport states.
The 21-year-old has caught the eye since moving away from North London, scoring 11 goals and registering five assists in 14 Eredivisie appearances this term.
The forward underwent knee surgery in December, which is set to leave him sidelined for the remainder of the season, but he has already down enough to alert the Gunners.
Aubameyang's future remains uncertain as he pushes into the final 18 months of his deal, with Arsenal facing a challenge to get him to agree to a new deal.
Willian update
Returning to the Willian news, the player's entourage have offered an update on the winter's situation heading into the final months of his contract at Stamford Bridge.
Interest in the experienced Brazil international is believed to be high but, at the moment, there is no clear leader in the hunt for his signature.
ESPN state that Willian's entourage say no deal has been concluded amid ongoing links to a number of teams.
However, they also added that he is likely to leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the season, and is "still analysing offers from England and Europe."
