But before they come up against Jesse Marsch’s side, the Gunners still have plenty of transfer rumours to sift through. Check out the latest Premier League transfer speculation below...

Leeds United and Everton could face competition from a number of high-profile clubs in their pursuit of Blackburn Rovers striker Ben Brereton Diaz.

The price tag for Newcastle United target Andrey Santos will be “really high”. The Magpies will have to pay more than £25.9 million for the Vasco de Gama star. Newcastle have been monitoring him for a long time and have a good relationship with his agents. (Fabrizio Romano)

Bayer Leverkusen director Simon Rolfes has revealed that he is aware of interest from Newcastle United in Patrik Schick , but has claimed that the German side have not received offers for either and are not thinking of entertaining them if they do. He said: “We knew on that position [transfer interest], that there are not a lot of players operating at Patrik’s level. Firstly, it was really important to show commitment from our side. We want to improve as a club but also with our players. We want to keep them for perhaps one or two years longer. Five years ago, we would probably just sell them.” [90min]

Arsenal will “definitely”have PSV Eindhoven winger Cody Gakpo on their shortlist of targets for upcoming transfer windows, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.
