Aurelien Tchouameni interest

Arsenal have made a shock €75 million proposal for Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, as per a bombshell report from Defensa Central.

The Gunners have splashed out over €200m on new players this summer, but they remain interested in bolstering the squad available to Arteta and Tchouameni has reportedly emerged as a target.

Defensa Central suggest that Arsenal have lodged a €75m bid for Tchouameni through an intermediary, although Real Madrid have made it clear that a sale will not take place.

Jakub Kiwior to leave?

Jakub Kiwior could reportedly push to leave Arsenal this summer following the club’s decision to sign Cristhian Mosquera.

The Poland international only started 10 Premier League matches last season and an exit is on the cards amid interest from a host of clubs across Europe, as per Romano.

William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes are likely to retain their place as Arsenal’s favoured centre-back duo next term, the aforementioned Mosquera is expected to be the first-choice back-up option, while Riccardo Calafiori, Jurrien Timber and Benjamin White are also capable of filling in.

Exclusive: Brentford eye Leandro Trossard

Brentford have made a bold move by approaching Leandro Trossard’s representatives over a potential summer switch from Arsenal, FootballTransfers can reveal.

The 30-year-old Belgium international, who has been a valuable squad player for Arsenal under Mikel Arteta, is now being seriously considered by Brentford as the ideal replacement for Yoane Wissa, who is pushing to leave the club in search of Champions League football with Newcastle United.

Sources close to the situation have told us that Brentford are willing to offer Trossard a three-year deal - a proposal that could appeal to the forward given his age and current contract status, which runs out in 2026.

Trossard is understood to be happy at Arsenal, but previously made it clear to Arteta that he would consider leaving if a deal too good to turn down landed on the table.
