🚨 @David_Ornstein: “Arsenal, a lot of people you speak to around the club, actually feel that despite previously looking at players like Sandro Tonali for this summer, that Bruno Guimarães is a better fit & complements Declan Rice in a way some feel Tonali wouldn’t.”
“Guimarães won’t be the only option Arsenal are looking at in midfield. We’ve seen reports of Ayyoub Bouaddi, it’s not even clear if he will leave Lille. It just goes to show Arsenal are looking at the #6, #8 area & they are surveying the options in the market.” [@TheAthleticFC Podcast]
Noni Madueke on competing with Saka: “It’s well-documented we’re very close, we want the best for each other. If we play well, England & Arsenal have a better chance of winning. How we differ, I think I thrive in space & he thrives in congestion.” ❤️🦁
Viktor Gyökeres on facing France in the World Cup round-of-32: “We have to be at our best & take the chances we’re going to get in the game. I’m looking forward to seeing William Saliba & playing against him, it’s going to be fun!” 😅🇸🇪

🚨 It is understood that Aston Villa believe, in the current market, Morgan Rogers is worth £130m. Villa’s valuation also factors in the fact that Middlesbrough hold a 20 per cent sell-on clause. It remains to be seen whether they could be negotiated down. 💰🏴 [@Matt_Law_DT]
