Arsenal will be looking to close the gap on the Premier League's top-four to five points when they travel to the Etihad Stadium to face Manchester City on Wednesday night.
The Gunners, who were convincingly beaten 3-0 by City in the reverse fixture between the two clubs back in December, kept their faint hopes of securing Champions League football for next season alive at the weekend, with an Alexandre Lacazette goal proving to be enough to secure a 1-0 home victory over West Ham United.
But even if the Gunners were to get the better of City on Mikel Arteta's first return to the Etihad Stadium since leaving to become Arsenal head coach, it would still be an uphill struggle, with the Gunners needing to rely on sides ahead of them to drop points.
Whatever the outcome of this season is for Arsenal, one thing is for sure, Arteta will be desperate to put his own stamp on the squad during the summer transfer window, with the Spaniard expected to make big changes in the red corner of North London.
With that in mind, here is a round-up of the day's very latest Arsenal transfer news.
Gunners to reignite interest in Kurzawa
The Mirror are reporting that Arsenal are preparing a fresh bid to sign PSG left-back Layvin Kurzawa this summer.
The Frenchman was heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium during the January transfer window but no move ever ended up coming to fruition.
The defender's contract is up in France this summer, meaning he would be available on a free-transfer, should PSG elect not to offer him a new deal.
Left-back is an area that Arteta may want to bolster the most this summer, with current left-backs Kieran Tierney and Sead Kolasinac having both suffered on the injury front this season.
White on Gunners' radar
Arsenal are preparing a summer move for Brighton & Hove Albion central defender Ben White, Football Insider report.
The defender, who is just 22-years-old, is currently out on loan at Championship club Leeds United, for whom he has made a very good impression.
White, who has racked up 40 appearances for the Whites this season, is a target for a whole host of Premier League clubs following his performances, including the Gunners.
The report claims that Arsenal have started to monitor White closely, as Arteta weighs up a possible summer swoop for the Englishman.
Arsenal dealt Madueke blow
All Nigeria Soccer are reporting that Arsenal have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of PSV teenage star Nonso Madueke, with the news that the youngster is set to sign a new contract with the Dutch club.
Madueke, who is a winger, has reached an agreement in principal with PSV about a new five-year contract.
The England U18 international has decided to stay in Holland for sporting reasons after being promoted to the first team even before he turned 18.
This news will come as a huge blow to Arsenal and Wolverhampton Wanderers, both of whom were keen on signing the youngster.
