Good morning Arsenal fans
Arsenal are eyeing a stunning deal for Atletico Madrid star Joao Felix, ahead of the summer transfer window.
According to El Chiringuito, however, Atletico want a whopping €120million (£100m) fee for Felix, who scored against Manchester United last night in the Champions League Last 16.
Journalist Eduardo Inda said: “Joao Felix is a very good player. Arsenal want him.
“Simeone, if he continues, wants to bring [Goncalo] Guedes. His objective is to change Felix for Guedes.
“The problem that Atletico has is that he cost €120m and recovering it is something that can only be done if he is sold to the Premier League.”
Meanwhile, Arsenal are set to hand manager Mikel Arteta a pay rise with a new £8.3million-a-year deal this summer, reports SunSport‘s Mark Irwin.
Arteta has 16 months left in his contract and the Gunners are eager to secure his long-term future with them at the Emirates.
Club owner Stan Kroenke is keen to emphasise his confidence in the Spanish head coach by sanctioning a three-year agreement, which will be worth £25m.
The 39-year-old’s current salary of £5m per year does not even compare with his former Manchester City mentor Pep Guardiola, who is on £20m per year.
The north Londoners are ready to hand a 60 per cent pay hike to Arteta, who will be on the same money legendary tactician Arsene Wenger was earning when he left the club in 2018.
And Barcelona are keeping tabs on Arsenal ace Kieran Tierney ahead of the summer transfer window.
According to Cule Mania, Barca are keen to sign a replacement for Jordi Alba at left-back.
The report claims the Gunners’ full-back is joined by AC Milan’s Theo Hernandez and Benfica’s Alex Grimaldo on the Blaugrana’s shortlist.
LaLiga rivals Real Madrid have also been previously linked with the highly-rated Scotland international.
Finally, Arsenal are interested in Napoli duo Victor Osimhen and Fabian Ruiz this summer in a £90million swoop.
According to Napoli Piu, Osimhen has been identified as a potential target for the Gunners, who will need a centre-forward after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s departure.
Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah are also set to become free agents in June.
The Nigeria international could be joined by current team-mate Ruiz, who is fast approaching the final year of his contract with the Partenopei
