Arsenal’s season may be on hold as the world battles the coronavirus crisis, but that has not stopped reports claiming they are looking ahead and planning their summer transfer business.
It remains to be seen when the transfer window will open this summer, as leagues and associations battle to conclude their current campaigns.
But managers, and their recruitment staff, are believed to be keeping busy in isolation by planning deals well in advance, if the latest reports are to be believed.
With that in mind, here are the latest transfer rumours from the Emirates.
Fraser battle
Arsenal have been joined by rivals Tottenham in the race to sign Bournemouth winger Ryan Fraser this summer.
The Gunners, according to recent reports, were in pole position to sign the Scottish international on a free transfer in the upcoming window.
But according to Football Insider, Spurs are now in contention for Fraser, who has told friends that he would like to play for Jose Mourinho's side.
Fekir eyed
Arsenal will face competition from AC Milan if they're to sign Nabil Fekir this summer.
The Real Betis playmaker is on the radar of the Gunners and the Italy giants, according to Marca.
With the future of Mesut Ozil uncertain, Arsenal are keen to add another creative midfielder to their ranks, but the former Lyon man is also being eyed by the Serie A giants.
Willian deal unlikely
Arsenal are unlikely to sign Willian from Chelsea this summer.
The Sport Review is reporting that the Gunners could pull out of the race to sign the Brazil international due to his excessive wage demands.
Willian has spent the past seven seasons at Chelsea, but likely to leave this summer due to his deal expiring, with a host of clubs around Europe also linked with the 31-year-old.
