ARSENAL'S Champions League hopes lie in tatters after their awful 2-0 defeat at Newcastle.

The Gunners needed to win to stay ahead of Tottenham in fourth going into the final day.

But Mikel Arteta's side were dominated by their mid-table opponents, with a Ben White own goal and a Bruno Guimaraes strike consigning them to defeat.

Arsenal will now need to beat Everton on the final day - while hoping that already relegated Norwich can somehow pull off a victory against Tottenham at Carrow Road.

Last night's loss leaves the Gunners' top four hopes in tatters... as well as their transfer prospects.

The North Londoners have been linked with a number of star names over recent months, while sitting in pole position to achieve Champions League football.

Last night's result may have put the 25-year-old off moving, however, having never played in the Europa League before.

PAULO DYBALA

The Gunners are keen to sign the Juventus ace, having been offered the opportunity.

But the Argentine is only interested in joining a team playing Champions League football.

Dybala, 28, sobbed after appearing in his final home game for Juventus.

The attacker is leaving Turin upon the expiry of his contract this summer.

RAHEEM STERLING

Arsenal have recently been linked with an ambitious move for Manchester City ace Raheem Sterling.

The England star is set to enter the final year of his contract at the Etihad.

A move already seemed far fetched, with Sterling having previously talked up a big transfer abroad.

And failure to reach the Champions League would seemingly rule Arteta's men out.

DARWIN NUNEZ

Benfica ace Darwin Nunez has been linked with a whole host of top clubs following a glittering season in Portugal.

The Uruguayan appears set to move this summer, with Benfica already lining up a replacement.

Arsenal are credited with an interest in the prolific marksman.

But with such fierce competition, they may be set to miss out.
