Arsenal transfer boost as £75m star ‘open’ to move and Wolves ‘ready to move’ for ex-Gunner

Arsenal’s push for a first Premier League title since 2004 goes through Merseyside this weekend where they will be looking to maintain or extend their lead over Manchester City at the top of the table.

Mikel Arteta’s side face Liverpool at Anfield with an eight point gap over the reigning champions who are away to bottom side Southampton. Meanwhile, there is still plenty of transfer news happening behind the scenes as the rumour mill keeps turning and the Gunners look to have been handed a major boost as one of Europe’s top marksmen is said to be ‘open’ to a move to North London. Meanwhile, a former Gunners star is said to be an ambitious target for their Premier League rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers. Here are the latest Arsenal transfer news stories on Wednesday, April 5:

Arsenal transfer boost as £75 million striker ‘open’ to Premier League move

Arsenal target Dusan Vlahovic would be open to finally moving to north London this summer, according to FourFourTwo. However, there was one pretty major caveat in the story and that is that the Serbian moving to North London would be contingent on them winning the Premier League title this season.

The Gunners were heavily linked with the forward while he was at Fiorentina before his £75 million move to Juventus last year. Still only 23-years old, Vlahovic has scored 11 goals in 30 games for the Serie A side this season and has an impressive record of 72 goals in 186 career appearances.

Former Arsenal star a ‘target’ for Wolves

According to a report from 90min, Wolverhampton Wanderers are ready to make an audacious bid for Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos. The Spain international spent two seasons on loan at Arsenal between 2019 and 2021 where he made 77 first team appearances across all competitions.

The 26-year old is out of contract in the summer and will likely be on the radar of several top clubs across Europe. However, It is claimed that Wolves are ‘readying an approach’ but are ‘accutely aware’ they will not only have to survive in the Premier League this season but convince Ceballos they can improve their fortunes beyond a bottom half finish next campaign.
