The Arsenal morning headlines as Griezmann's asking price revealed and bold Arteta prediction

Here are your Arsenal morning headlines for Thursday, April 2.

Griezmann valuation revealed

Arsenal will not just face stiff competition if they are to sign Antoine Griezmann from Barcelona this summer, they will also have to stump up a significant amount of cash too according to reports this morning.

The French striker has been linked with a move away from Camp Nou this summer - just one season after joining Barcelona from Atletico Madrid - with Arsenal and Manchester United interested.

But according to Sky Sports , the Catalans are hoping to offload Griezmann to Paris Saint-Germain in a part-exchange deal to bring Neymar back to Barcelona.

Hope is not lost for an Arsenal deal, however, as they report also claims that Barca will look to sell Griezmann elsewhere if PSG are not interested, with the La Liga giants valuing the World Cup winner at €100million (£88million).

Sagna backs Arteta to bring title back to Arsenal

Former Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna has revealed he believes Mikel Arteta could be the man to win the Gunners their first Premier League title since 2004.

The Frenchman spent seven years at Arsenal during his playing career, three of which overlapped with Arteta’s time at the club, and he says his old teammate has already improved the side.

When asked by Goal if the Gunners can win the title under the Spaniard, he said: "I think so. Leicester did it and no-one expected them to, but they had a great team spirit and were fighting every single game.

"Arsenal can do it too, because if you face Arsenal it is always difficult because of the way they move and play. If you look at the team, even the team spirit has changed. Whether it’s running or tracking, they are like animals.

"Everyone was criticising [Shkodran] Mustafi and David Luiz, but Mikel has changed their way of defending.

"Maybe he gave them some more confidence, some more love, I don’t know what he’s done but he’s changed something."

Arsenal in the race for Bristol City youngster

Bristol City teenager Han-Noah Massengo is attracting attention from a number of top clubs, with Arsenal sending scouts to watch him before the sudden break in the current season.

The 18-year-old has impressed since arriving in the Championship from Monaco and according to Bristol Live, the Gunners have been watching his development.

But they are not alone in their interest, with London rivals Chelsea and Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund also keeping a close eye over the Frenchman.
