Arsenal ‘interested’ in Leeds United sensation and ‘make contact’ with Serie A ace

It’s now less than a week until Arsenal return to action after a long wait during the international break.

Every passing day sees the Gunners move a little closer to securing a top four spot, but there is plenty of work to do.

A win over Crystal Palace on Monday will certainly be a step in the right direction, but first Arsenal must watch another weekend of action pass by without them, with the game taking place on Monday night.

In the meantime, we have rounded up all the latest Gunners transfer rumours:

Phillips links

Arsenal are being linked with a move for Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips ahead of the summer transfer window.

Aston Villa have been heavily linked with the England international, but 90min are now reporting that the Gunners are among the interested clubs.

Reports have suggested thar Phillips will consider his future this summer, with Leeds struggling in their second consecutive top flight season.

Martinez ‘contact’

Arsenal are said to have ‘made contact’ with Inter Milan over a potential move for Lautaro Martinez.

The 24-year-old is under contract until 2026, but Calciomercato report that Inter could turn their eyes to Juventus star Paulo Dybala, who is out of contract this summer.

Arsenal are said to have touched base with Inter to get a feel for the situation, in case Martinez - who has scored 15 goals this season - becomes surplus to requirements at the San Siro.

Maitland-Niles price tag

The Gunners are said to have put a price tag on loan exile Ainsley Maitland-Niles.

The midfielder has spent the back-end of this season on loan with AS Roma, but he has struggled to impress.

According to The Mirror, a permanent switch - most likely to another Premier League side - is now likely for Maitland-Niles, and Arsenal are reportedly asking for just £10million.
