Arsenal reach ‘agreement’ over £30m star as contract talks with key star continue

Arsenal are now working away Stateside as they look to prepare for the new season.

The Gunners are next in action in the early hours of Sunday morning, taking on Everton in Baltimore ahead of heading to Florida.

Mikel Arteta’s men will be looking to make a run in Europe this season, as well as pushing for a top four finish.

And new signings such as Gabriel Jesus should help them achieve that goal, but Arsenal are still working on new deals.

With that in mind, we have rounded up all the latest transfer news and rumours surrounding the Emirates Stadium.

Zinchenko agreement

Arsenal are said to have reached an agreement in principle over the signing of Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Romano tweeted: “Arsenal and Manchester City have now reached verbal agreement in principle for Oleksandr Zinchenko, fee around £30m. Personal terms are still discussed.

“Salary and length of contract, in negotiation - key step to complete the agreement.”

Paqueta latest

Arsenal are yet to make a move for Lyon star Lucas Paqueta.

The Gunners have been linked with the midfielder over recent weeks, with talk they could pursue a big-money deal.

But according to Media Foot there has been no offer from Arsenal at this point and Lyon still hold hope of keeping Paqueta around beyond this summer.
