Mikel Arteta’s men are three points clear of Tottenham and solid favourites to finish the season in the top four.

But there is still a job to be done, and while Arsenal wait for the return of club action, we have taken a look at all the latest transfer rumours concerning the Gunners:

Coutinho contact

Reports in Spain are suggesting Arsenal have already made contact with Barcelona over the potential signing of Philippe Coutinho.

Coutinho is currently on loan with Aston Villa, and impressing, but despite the Midlands club having an option to buy, it seems the Gunners are keen to hijack the deal.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the Gunners have already made contact ahead of potentially negotiating a deal.

Abraham price tag

The latest chatter over Arsenal’s chase for a striker has involved AS Roma striker Tammy Abraham

Abraham is impressing with Roma following his move from Chelsea, scoring 15 times in 29 league appearances.

But according to The Express, the England international would cost the Gunners a whopping £100million, and it’s likely they can secure other options, such as Alexander Isak, for a far more reasonable fee.

Spence chase

Arsenal are said to be considering a move for in-demand Middlesbrough full-back Djed Spence.

Spence has impressed on loan with Nottingham Forest this season, and it seems plenty of clubs are pursuing his signature.

According to The Express, Arsenal are now chasing a move, but they could face a battle with their fierce north London rivals Tottenham.
