Latest Arsenal transfer rumours: Gunners plot move for Premier League sensation

With just a few weeks until the end of the season, the transfer rumour mill is starting to get going and Arsenal are being linked with a number of different players.

Thanks to Aaron Ramsey's departure for Juventus this summer, at least one incoming transfer is expected; but the Gunners are being linked with players in a variety of positions.

Arsenal still haven't brought in a replacement for Sven Mislintat to oversee their transfer activity, but Unai Emery will still be hoping for new recruits to bolster his squad for next season.

Here are the latest updates and rumours for the players the Gunners have been linked with in the press in the last 24 hours.

Dwight McNeil

Sean Dyche has admitted that he's unsure how much Burnley midfielder Dwight McNeil is worth in today's transfer market.

The 19-year-old is attracting interest from Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, Everton and Newcastle following a breakthrough season in the Premier League, but Dyche told the Burnley Express he has no idea what the club would ask for if they were to sell him.

"It's a strange one, regarding his worth; I look at some of the figures bandied about for some of these young players and I don't know what you put on him.

"His worth to the team I'm more interested in, and that's the way he's delivering performances."

Dyche also said what he likes about McNeil as a player, commenting on his bravery in possession and willingness to try and affect a game.

"I like his assuredness; he's quiet, he's calm, but there's a toughness in there, particularly to have the ball.

"That's something that can come and go with players, but he's certainly got that desire to grip a game with the ball: 'Give me the ball, I want to do something.'

"That's a powerful thing, particularly in a young player, because sometimes that's hard, but he will have the ball under any circumstances. He wants the ball, to try and produce something."

Kalidou Koulibaly

The Napoli defender has been linked on and off with a move to Arsenal for a while now and after the Europa League tie between the two sides he spoke about where his future might lie.

According to the Manchester Evening News he was asked by reporters after the game whether he was still satisfied at playing in Serie A.

He said: "I grew up in this league. It's the league that made me the player I am today. To me what matters most is to finish the season well, then we'll see.

"I am sorry because we wanted to go through."

Koulibaliy isn't the only person who has been talking about his future though, with manager Carlo Ancelotti slapping a mammoth hypothetical transfer fee on him.

He said: "Koulibaly is the best centre-back in the world, and he has more room for improvement.

"He is worth €150m and he is non-transferable. Napoli do not need to sell, the president does not want to sell and the question does not arise."

Benito Raman

Arsenal and Everton are reportedly set to do battle over Fortuna Dusseldorf forward Benito Raman.

The 24-year-old Belgian forward has scored over a quarter of Dusseldorf's goals this season, picking up ten of their 39 strikes.

According to Bild (via The Sun ), Arsenal and Everton are expected to look at a move for the £13million man. Dusseldorf only signed him for £1million from Standard Liege last summer and could apparently look to cash in on him this year.

Raman has played across the forward line during his time in the Bundesliga, adding four assists to the ten goals he has scored.

Kerem Demirbay

According to Bild, Arsenal have identified a replacement for Aaron Ramsey when he leaves for Juventus in the summer.

The German newspaper claim that they are looking at Hoffenheim's Kerem Derimbay as the answer to fill the hole that the Welshman will leave. Derimbay, 25, has been at Hoffenheim since moving from Hamburg in the summer of 2016 and his current release clause is set at £22million.

The paper also claim that his likely salary demands would be easy for the Gunners to meet, something that could be vital for Arsenal's transfer plans.

The central midfielder has four goals and six assists this season for the Bundesliga club where Reiss Nelson has also been plying his trade this year.
