And with that in mind, we have rounded up all the latest transfer news and rumours concerning the Gunners.

Danilo blow

Arsenal are said to have come up short in their bid to land Palmeiras star Danilo.

The Gunners are said to be chasing a midfielder late in the window, and Danilo is reportedly the man Mikel Arteta and Edu like.

The midfielder is in the final year of his contract as things stand, and there are reports claiming Liverpool have already made a bid.

According to the Daily Mail, Arsenal and Newcastle are now considering a late move for the Brazilian.

Zaha issues upate

Wilfried Zaha is not distracting by transfer speculation over his future amid continuous Arsenal links.

“It’s not been difficult at all [to remain focused],” Zaha said on Sky Sports. “I’ve just been focused on Palace and every game. So it’s not been difficult at all.

“I go into training, I get on with it and I enjoy it. So I’ve been focused. It’s massive, we’ve got a massive understanding everyone literally understands me. It’s different, it’s hard to explain but it feels like a family here. That’s the understanding we have.”
