Arsenal ‘make offer’ for Real Madrid ace as Man City enter race for lethal striker

Arsenal are gearing up for their Premier League clash with Brighton this weekend.

The Gunners suffered a huge setback on Monday night in their bid to land a top four spot, losing 3-0 to Crystal Palace.

Mikel Arteta’s men are now looking up at fourth spot, but they do still have a game in hand to play, with their fate still in their own hands.

But as Arsenal plot their way back into the Champions League spots, we have taken a look at all the latest transfer rumours.

Asensio offer

Arsenal are said to have made an offer for Real Madrid star Marco Asensio.

Asensio is out of contract in 2023, and no renewal offer has been made just yet.

In the meantime, his representatives have told Mediaset: “We are proud of Milan’s interest.

“The Rossoneri [Milan] are an option even if there are offers from a couple of English clubs, including Arsenal. We are ready to evaluate every option.”

Ekitike issues

The Gunners have been dealt a blow in their bid to land Reims striker Hugo Ekitike.

Ekitike has scored 21 goals so far this season, and he has been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium.

But Jeunes Footeaux are now saying Manchester City are eyeing up a potential move ahead of this summer.

They could provide some serious competition for the player, if they are indeed interested.

Dybala interest

Arsenal are said to have made an expression of interest to Juventus star Paulo Dybala.

Dybala is out of contract this summer, and according to Corriere dello Sport via SportWitness, the Gunners have expressed their interest ahead of potentially pulling off a free transfer.

Newcastle are said to have done the same, but it is still being reported that the Argentine wants to stay in Italy.

Either way, Dybala won’t be short of options this summers - that’s for sure.
