According to The Athletic, Arsenal's data and analytics chief Jaeson Rosenfeld is set to join the Frenchman at the governing body.

Tierney opens up on injury

Arsenal full-back Kieran Tierney has opened up on the shoulder injury that has kept him out of action since December.

The summer arrival suffered a dislocated shoulder in the 3-1 win over West Ham and has been undergoing rehabilitation since.

"Having an injury changes my training routine," Tierney told Sport Bible. "The start of it was all based on the physio bed. The physio would move it into different ranges and positions. Then light movements but it was so light you wouldn't believe it.

"I did a lot of bike work and did the cross trainer as well."

Manchester United 'eye' Aubameyang

According to the Sun, Manchester United are the latest club to show an interest in Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The striker is out of contract at the end of next season and the reports states that the Red Devils are ready to make a bid of around £50 million in order to test Arsenal's reserve.

It is also said that the Gunners have accepted that the Gabon international will not sign a new deal and could be looking to cash in on him during the summer window.

Bellerin's captain statement

If Aubameyang does leave in the summer, Arsenal full-back Hector Bellerin has said that he will be ready to take the captain's armband.

The defender has been at the Emirates Stadium for nine years and is one of Arsenal's longest serving players.

He has been handed the armband on occasions Aubameyang has not been available this season.

"I enjoy positions of responsibility and I enjoy being the first one on that wall," he told the club's official website.

"For me, I have been speaking to the coach for a few months and he was telling me that I could be one of the people that could represent the team.

"I was really happy with it because I'm someone who's been here for a long time and I know how the club runs."
