Latest Arsenal transfer rumours: Gunners hold key for Aouar move, Holding exit, Martinez bid

Arsenal will kick off the 2020/21 Premier League season with a trip to Fulham in two weeks' time.

Mikel Arteta's side are close to confirming Gabriel Magalhaes as their second summer signing alongside Willian.

The Gunners will be hopeful of acquiring more bodies before the season starts too, whilst also offloading some deadwood in the squad to fund more transfers.

With that in mind, here's a round-up of the very latest Arsenal rumours.

Rob Holding exit

Rob Holding looks to be on his way out of the Emirates Stadium on a temporary basis.

Reports from the Newcastle Chronicle claim Newcastle United are closing in on a season-long loan deal, with Gabriel set to sign for the Gunners imminently.

Leeds United have been previously linked with Holding but it's the Magpies that lead the race for the 24-year-old.

Holding has yet to recapture his best form for Arsenal since suffering a serious knee injury.

Villa submit Martinez bid

Aston Villa have submitted an offer worth £10m for Emiliano Martinez.

According to the Independent, Dean Smith's side are hopeful of landing the Argentine goalkeeper, who impressed in the end of last season in the absence of Bernd Leno.

Previous reports state that Arsenal are looking to recoup £20million for Martinez but the 27-year-old is hopeful a fee half that figure will be enough to secure him first-team football.

Guendouzi deal central to Partey and Aouar deals

Arsenal believe the key to landing summer target Thomas Partey is offloading Matteo Guendouzi.

That's according to the Express, who say the Gunners haven't had any offers for their midfielder despite a promising start to his career in England.

They report Guendouzi's departure could also prove pivotal to any possible deal for Houssem Aouar, who could leave Lyon this summer.

The Frenchman hasn't played for the Gunners since falling out with Arteta in June.
