Arsenal star ‘approached’ over transfer as Gunners eye striker

Arsenal are back in action on Tuesday night when they face London rivals Chelsea in another crucial Premier League clash. The Gunners know they need to be faultless if they want to remain in the Premier League title race, and while Chelsea are in very poor form, Mikel Arteta’s men know they are going to have to put on a professional display.

It will be interesting to see how Arsenal respond after their disappointing defeat and performance against Manchester City last time out. In the meantime, we have rounded up all the latest news surrounding the Emirates Stadium.

Nelson interest

Reiss Nelson is headed for an Arsenal exit this summer with his contract ticking down towards zero, and Fabrizio Romano believes there will be plenty of interest in the winger.

Romano told CBS Sport: “It is true, it’s true that Milan are among clubs interested in Reiss Nelson. It’s not just Milan, it’s like seven-eight clubs who’ve approached the player, his agents.

“There are many possibilities – in England, in Eredivisie, in Serie A, in different countries they’re approaching the player because it’s a very big opportunity on a free transfer. Reiss Nelson is thinking about that but he also has a proposal from Arsenal to extend his contract. So, it’s not sure yet that he will leave Arsenal on a free transfer. This is why everything is open.”

Vlahovic links

On the incomings front, Arsenal are said to be interested in Juventus star Dusan Vlahovic. According to Calciomercato, Juventus could sell Vlahovic this summer amid financial issues at the club.

The report claims Arsenal are waiting for encouragement to make their move, and they will be in the race if Juventus decide to consider selling the striker this summer. Vlahovic did cost Juventus more than £70million, though, so it’s likely they will want to make that fee back and more if they are to sell.
