@charles_watts: “There are a few players at Arsenal right now who, while the club do not actively want to sell, they would consider offers for, should good ones arrive this summer & I would include Oleksandr Zinchenko & Jakub Kiwior on that list.”

“I can’t see both being allowed to go in the same window, but I wouldn’t be shocked if one was to leave. If I had to choose between one to go, I would probably go with Zinchenko.”

“I think some of the criticism that came his way last season was harsh, but there’s no doubt that Arsenal have moved on from him a bit in the last 12 months. Arsenal have shifted things a bit tactically, which has seen his importance on the team diminish.”

The current focus in the forward line is RB Leipzig’s 21-year-old Benjamin Sesko. The Slovenia international has a release clause in his contract, believed to be for a fee in the region of €65m (£55.3m, $70.4m). Sesko has attracted significant interest from elsewhere in the Premier League and Europe, but the feeling among other clubs is that if Sesko is to move then Arsenal are in pole position. [@gunnerblog, @TheAthleticFC]

As with Isak, admiration for Bruno Guimaraes is not expected to go further. The Brazilian has a £100m release clause that is active until the end of June, and Newcastle are likely to demand a sum in that region even after that point.

Zubimendi and Neves are seen primarily as holding midfielders. A new No 8 remains on Arsenal’s radar, but the club feel there are relatively few suitable options on the market. Players like Frenkie de Jong and Lucas Paqueta are unlikely to be on the move this summer, albeit for very different reasons. The acquisition of a No 9 could allow Havertz to play more games in midfield, while 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri is also expected to feature more often next season. [@gunnerblog, @TheAthleticFC]

Although Arsenal have been linked with Alexander Isak, and have a long-standing interest in the player, no developments are expected. Newcastle United’s position is the player is not for sale, and it would take a huge sum of money for that commitment to waver. [@gunnerblog, @TheAthleticFC]

After Arsenal’s elimination against Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals, the feeling among the hierarchy was that the team lacked a certain X-factor in attack — something special to unlock defences on the biggest occasions. [@gunnerblog, @TheAthleticFC]

Arsenal's main objective this summer is to add layers to their squad. Last season, they were able to rely on a relatively small pool of players, with a group of 14 sharing the majority of minutes. Arsenal would like to expand that group, affording manager Mikel Arteta the opportunity to rotate and thus better sustain competing across multiple fronts. [@gunnerblog, @TheAthleticFC]

Kai Havertz: "The change from Chelsea to Arsenal was worth it".

"Chelsea fans were angry that I left, the Arsenal fans weren’t so enthusiastic either, because it didn’t go so well at start...".

"Then there is strength when the coach, teammates and the people in your close environment stand by you and support you", told Welt am Sonntag.

@DiMarzio: “Osimhen, we assume he’s going to leave [Napoli]. At the moment, there is only Arsenal [showing interest], who are still far away from his release clause.” [@napolista] #afc

Arsenal are reluctantly set to let Eddie Nketiah LEAVE the club this summer. SunSport can reveal that Fulham are in pole position & would be willing to pay up to £30m, but are likely to see competition from Crystal Palace & Wolves. [@kealanhughes] #afc

Everton are also interested in a potential year long loan - an option which could appeal to Arsenal, but there are hopes that, if any clubs want Nketiah, they can start a bidding war that can drive the final price for him to decent levels. [@kealanhughes, Sun] #afc

Victor Osimhen is expecting an offer from Arsenal or Saudi Arabia. Osimhen ‘dreams’ of playing in the Premier League, with a move to Saudi Arabia more a temptation for Napoli than the player. Napoli are insistent on his €130m release clause being paid. [@Gazzetta_it] #afc

Arsenal have enquired about Barcelona defender Mikayil Faye. Barcelona need to sell this summer & while they believe 19-year-old Faye has a big future at the club, they recognise his sale could raise £17m or more as interest gathers. [Simon Jones, Mail]

[@johncrossmirror] #afc

@Teamnewsandtix: “Even last summer, Arsenal were talking to Ajax about Kudus, we just didn’t have the wiggle room with PSR. The reason it took so long for him to go anywhere, they [Ajax] were willing to hold on to see if we could make it happen because of the relationship we have with them.” [@charles_watts YouTube] #afc

Arsenal will BLOCK William Saliba from representing France - managed by Thierry Henry - at the Paris Olympics later this summer. [Le Parisien via @GFFN] #afc

Zubimendi is understood to be Mikel Arteta’s clear first choice & Arsenal believe he would be a perfect fit for the club. Sources have told HITC that Arsenal would be ready to pay his £51m release clause - but as yet, Zubimendi has not accepted the overtures from England.

As the deal has dragged on, Arsenal have become more & more frustrated & they have informed the player’s camp that they are ready to move on from the Spaniard, if he does not accept their advances. [@GraemeBailey] #afc

HITC understands that Arsenal are ready to MOVE ON from top midfield summer target Martin Zubimendi. A deal to take the player has stalled in recent weeks, with Arsenal becoming increasingly frustrated over the lack of progress on the transfer. [@GraemeBailey] #afc
