Latest Arsenal transfer rumours: Gunners give up on Zaha move, Ceballos permanent deal eyed

There are now less than three weeks left in the summer transfer window for Arsenal to do their business.

The Gunners have completed just one signing so far this summer, with 18-year-old Brazilian forward Gabriel Martinelli joining the club.

But while Arsenal may be out on their pre-season tour of the United States of America, but that does not stop the rumour mill from continuing.

Below, we take a look at the latest transfer rumours involving the Gunners for players who could arrive - and leave.

Wilfried Zaha

According to the  Mirror , Arsenal have not given up hope of a deal for Wilfried Zaha but the transfer looks increasingly unlikely with Crystal Palace not budging on their £80m valuation of the winger.

Palace have rejected both of the Gunners’ bids out of hand with Arsenal believed to have offered Carl Jenkinson or Mohamed Elneny plus the option of a young player on loan.

Nicolas Pepe

Manchester United have reportedly made a bid worth nearly €80m for Lille star Nicolas Pepe.

The winger has been linked with a move to Arsenal, Liverpool and Atletico Madrid this summer, but according to La Voix du Nord (via  GFFN ), United have made a move and Lille president Gerard Lopez has confirmed that the player’s future is almost sorted.

"In terms of departures and arrivals, if a player leaves, we will go and get what we need.

"For Nico, it is almost done and he could have left last summer.

"It is true that there are big offers and big clubs in for him, so I think [he will leave].

"Aside from that, you never know in football."

Dani Ceballos

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has reportedly “promised” Arsenal that the two clubs will speak over a permanent deal for Dani Ceballos next summer.

Ceballos is set to seal a one-year loan move to the Emirates Stadium this week after an agreement was reached between the two clubs.

While Arsenal were keen on inserting an option to buy in the deal, Real Madrid have rejected that, with the club apparently seeing Ceballos’ long-term future at the Bernabeu.

However,  Fabrizio Romano  reports that Perez himself has promised the Gunners that they will speak about a possible permanent Ceballos signing in June 2020.
