Striker Victor at all costs

Arsenal will reportedly have to fork out £67million to land striker Victor Osimhen.

The Napoli ace has 16 goals to his name this term and has played a key role in keeping his side in the hunt for the Serie A title.

, Arsenal have been tracking the Nigeria international for a number of months, but any move would cost the Gunners the eye-watering price tag.

are also reporting that Arsenal have "already taken several concrete steps, through intermediaries" to lay the groundworks for a deal.

However, the striker is keen to play Champions League football ensuring that the Gunners fight to finish in this season's top four is even more crucial to their ambitions.

Jesus refuses to discuss future

Gabriel Jesus has refused to rule out leaving Manchester City this summer with Arsenal 'believing they can seal' his signature.

The Brazilian forward was in sensational form on Saturday as he scored four in City's 5-1 win over Watford.

The 25-year-old only has a year left on his deal at the Etihad and appears to be facing an uncertain future.

City are closing in on the signing of Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund, which would limit the game time for Jesus.

That has sparked Arsenal’s interest, with Mikel Arteta identifying him as a top target for the upcoming transfer window.

this weekend on whether he will stay at City, Jesus said: “It’s not time to think about this.

Gunners struggles highlight Arsene's brilliance

The difficulties that Arsenal have had since Arsene Wenger left the club in 2018 only go to show just how good their legendary manager actually was.

Wenger was hounded by a section of fans towards the end of his time in North London, often criticised for only targeting a top-four finish - a feat the club haven't achieved in six years.

And now one the Frenchman's former players believes Wenger's achievements in his later years at the club need to be reassessed.

In said: “It showed when he left, right? It showed how tough it was.

"We used to get in a lot of trouble for just managing to finish in the top four every year. Which is strange, because the whole scope around it now is: who’s going to make the top four?

“We felt…not ashamed, but we all wanted to win. It just showed the difference even at that high level to go to the next level. We’ve not managed to make the top four since he left."

Arsenal have a big chance to qualify for the Champions League this year, currently occupying fourth place - two points ahead of Tottenham - with five games remaining.

“Hopefully they can do it this year and use that as building blocks to compete for titles again," Gibbs continued.

"They look really good at the moment. It feels like they’ve got a new lease of life.”

Mo would sign new deal

Mohamed Elneny would have no hesitation in signing a new Arsenal deal - despite not being guaranteed gametime at the Emirates.

The Egyptian has played a key role in recent victories over Manchester United and Chelsea, having not previously featured for the Gunners since New Year's Day.

The injury to Thomas Partey, however, has offered Elneny the chance to shine, and he's indicated he'd be willing to bide his time again if offered a new contract.

as saying: "If I don't play, I keep going until I get my chance.

"And if Arsenal say 'we want you', I don't think about leaving. It's my family for six years. I love this club."

The 29-year-old's current deal runs out at the end of June.

Morning, Arsenal fans

Monday mornings surely don't get much better than this - for Champions League hopes AND transfer speculation.

Saturday's 3-1 win over Manchester United means the Gunners will stay fourth until at least next Sunday.

And strikers linked to Arsenal over the weekend include Gabriel Jesus, Victor Osimhen and Tammy Abraham.

Jesus kept Manchester City top of the Prem with four goals in Saturday's 5-1 defeat of Watford.

But the 25-year-old is still tipped to leave this summer, a season before his contract ends.

And transfer guru Fabrizio Romano describes Arsenal's interest in the Brazilian as 'confirmed and serious'.

But it's claimed the Gunners would have to fork out £67million for Napoli's Osimhen, who is expected to be on Manchester United's wishlist too.

Ex-Chelsea frontman Abraham is again being linked with the Gunners - should they qualify for the Champions League.

But he could cost around £50m, compared to the £34m Roma paid for the England ace last summer.

That's because the 24-year-old has hit 24 goals this season.

Finally, Arsenal have reportedly been told FC Koln right-winger Jan Thielmann, 19, would cost them £12.5million.

Gabriel third on error list

Four Manchester United players feature among the players who have made the most errors leading to shots in the Premier League, writes JOSHUA JONES.

And it is blundering captain Harry Maguire who tops the unwanted list. The 29-year-old is struggling to catch a break on the pitch at the moment - and was inexplicably sent a shocking bomb threat.

Now Opta's stats show Maguire has made seven mistakes in 62 appearances that have allowed opponents to take a shot since the start of last season.

That is more than any other outfield player in England's top flight.

And to make matters worse, Nemanja Matic is second on the list with six from 40 games. Red Devils full-backs Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka also feature among the top 17 with four errors each, from 52 and 54 appearances respectively, in a further blow for David De Gea.

Arsenal defender Gabriel and Luke Ayling both have made six mistakes.

Wham bam, thank you Gran

Here's how Granit Xhaka's 25-yard cracker looked from the stands as it rounded off Arsenal's 3-1 win over Manchester United yesterday.

After three straight losses against mid-table sides, victory over erratic Chelsea and hapless United have lifted the Gunners back to fourth, two points clear of Spurs.

Thiel the money

Arsenal have reportedly been told they can land FC Koln star Jan Thielmann for £12.5million this summer.

The 19-year-old right winger has caught the eye in the Bundesliga this term.

He has been a regular at Koln, scoring once and providing two assists during his 26 top-flight appearances.

And despite his stats not being outstanding, his displays have captured the attention of Mikel Arteta.

Now Tag 24 states that Koln are willing to cash in if they receive an offer of £12.5m.

They claim the club can “hardly say no” to such a figure due to the financial impact of the coronavirus.

Ready to grab Ab

Arsenal are reportedly lining up a summer move for Tammy Abraham… if they qualify for the Champions League, writes Giacomo Pisa.

The Gunners were linked with Abraham last summer before he joined Roma in a £34million deal from Chelsea.

But 12 months on Mikel Arteta is set to reignite his interest in the striker after a stunning first season under Jose Mourinho.

The 24-year-old has scored 24 goals in all competitions this campaign.

And his form could see Arsenal lodge a bid this summer if they finish in the top four, according to the .

It’s claimed the Gunners are plotting a £50million offer for the upcoming transfer window.

Woeful Utd hit train barrier

Alan Shearer is baffled at what Ralf Rangnick and his staff do in training at Manchester United.

The Red Devils suffered another crushing defeat yesterday as they were beaten 3-1 at Arsenal to virtually end their top four hopes.

That result follows the terrible display at Anfield on Tuesday when United were walloped 4-0 by Liverpool.

And after watching them at the Emirates, the Newcastle and England legend Shearer insists Rangnick’s team showed zero reaction to being “battered” by the Reds.

Speaking on Match of the Day, he said: “New manager, they've been battered by Liverpool, changed personnel - left Harry Maguire out - so I'm thinking there's going to be a bit of a response, certainly in the first 20 or 30 minutes and there wasn't at all.

“Within three minutes you've had three big mistakes: Varane and Telles make one and you've also got one from Dalot letting Tavares go. 

“There was no pressing, no organisation, the understanding of when or how to press in this team zero, probably because they don't know how to do it or they are not working on it at all in training.

“They don't know how or when to do it… what they're doing on the training ground, I don't know, because it doesn't look like they're doing much in terms of the pressing.”

Gunning for Jesus?

Gabriel Jesus will leave Manchester City this summer in a boost to Arsenal’s transfer hopes, according to reports.

The 25-year-old Brazilian ace has just over 16 months remaining on his current contract at the Etihad and the champions may have to cash in.

“Arsenal interest is confirmed and serious, as per  – but still no bid or direct talks between clubs.”

Arsenal & Utd target Osimhen valued at £67m

Arsenal will reportedly have to fork out £67million to land striker target Victor Osimhen, who has also been linked to Man Utd.

The Napoli ace has 16 goals to his name this term and has played a key role in keeping his side in the hunt for the Serie A title.

Napoli are sat third, five points behind table toppers Inter Milan with four matches to go.

But with Osimhen's fine form comes interest in acquiring his services.

And according to , Arsenal have been tracking the Nigeria international for a number of months.

But any move would cost the Gunners an eye-watering £67m to land Osimhen.

Playing for the shirt

Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard bizarrely gave their Manchester United shirts to Arsenal fans following their side's 3-1 defeat, writes JAKE LAMBOURNE.

Both men came on as second half substitutes at the Emirates as the Gunners beat the Red Devils to leapfrog Tottenham into fourth.

Rashford is one of 12 players that could be heading out the door at the Theatre of Dreams when Erik ten Hag takes charge.

He has even been linked with a shock move to link up with the Gunners.
