Pay Lille the €60m for Bouaddi immediately. We can’t let PSG pinch him. He’s got it.

[Ryan @_RyanAFC]

Bouaddi is a special player, he’s the complete midfielder. Would take him over all the other midfielders we are linked with comfortably.

🚨 Arsenal exploring deal to sign Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge. 24yo left-sided winger expected to be gettable for ~€40m. Move for Greece international does not impact #AFC interest in Morgan Rogers or other options to strengthen attack @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/lBe1BINfU2

Bradley Barcola Situation

• Moussa Sissoko has been trying to renew Bradley Barcola’s contract for the best part of 9-12 months. Talks have been difficult, and it reached a point where both parties agreed to put negotiations on hold so that Barcola and PSG could focus on important fixtures in April and May.

• Soon after the UEFA Champions League final, talks resumed and remain ongoing. The player reportedly told people close to him that he was disappointed not to start a number of important fixtures.

• PSG’s position is clear: renew or we will sell, as his contract expires in June 2028. Personally, I think that is a significant stance for the club to take.

• Barcola’s agent also represents Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué and maintains a good relationship with PSG. The club is also in serious talks regarding Yan Diomande and Maghnes Akliouche, which could further influence the situation surrounding Barcola.

Both Arsenal and Liverpool are interested, but I want to explain Arsenal’s side of the story.

• Andrea Berta made serious enquiries into Barcola’s situation last summer. At the time, Arsenal were informed that the player would stay for at least one more year. Since then, Berta has remained in constant contact with Sissoko and has made it clear that Barcola is of serious interest to Arsenal. He has also asked to be notified if PSG become open to a sale. Should Arsenal make an official approach towards PSG, there will be a further update.

• Arsenal also hold an interest in Morgan Rogers and one other player(sensitive info currently). More on that in due course.

• As always, Andrea Berta is willing to agree personal terms with multiple targets and make a move when the timing suits Arsenal.

Before I sign off, there is something worth noting. Berta is very happy for misinformation to circulate publicly. Berta & Co are busy behind the scenes, and many details remain unknown as Arsenal move silently.

Allow me to provide a free exclusive as an example of that which is unknown. Arsenal made standard checks on Nico Paz. Nico was reportedly left confused following a recent call with Mourinho, although another conversation may be scheduled. Arsenal have also made serious checks on Christos Tzolis, the Greek winger.

My point is that a great deal is happening behind the curtain. Embrace the silence and, as always, choose your sources of information carefully.

Been on the Barcola train since his Lyon days. Hope we get this done, proper LW signing.

[HandofArsenal @HandofArsenal]

Arsenal have real interest in Bradley Barcola.

I will update soon on the situation. There are things to explain about his situation that need clarifying.

[Ryan @_RyanAFC]

Maybe we did get Rice half price after all..

[David Ornstein @David_Ornstein]

🚨 Manchester City verbal proposal to Nottingham Forest for Elliot Anderson was worth £106m + add-ons, taking it above £120m. #NFFC want British record fee guaranteed, not after bonuses. No fresh talks with #MCFC over 23yo England midfielder @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/DdanEQcqnz

[England @England]

Reunited ❤️

Our four @Arsenal players have joined up with the #ThreeLions in Florida 🙌

[TheSecretScout @TheSecretScout_]

Arsenal fans…..Saka, Nwaneri, MLS, Dowman…. Next up is Luis Munoz (14) 🔥.

Arsenal hierarchy, creating a pathway similar to the above. They have already given him his 18s debut. It’s an Important summer as they look to block rivals from signing.

Arsenal have shown they push top talents 🔴 #AFC

[HandofArsenal @HandofArsenal]

Arsenal have made contact with the camp of Emmanuel Mbemba with a view to sign him this window. The u19 PSG captain is open to a move away with Nuno Mendes blocking his pathway in France.

Arsenal have laid out a pathway which involves him potentially being loaned out mirroring the path of William Saliba.

Still work to be done to secure one of France’s top talents as Arsenal also make enquires for Elijah Upson & Sam Amissah

The data team at Arsenal are thought to be very keen on Mbema while Berta & Maurizio Micheli continues to build a youth dynasty at Arsenal to solidify the future of the English Champions.

Story with @TheSecretScout_

After @NizaarKinsella great work 👌🏽

[Av @aviv_lavi]

This video is amazing. Martin Odegaard desperately calling someone onto stage with him.

Pans to Declan Rice? Not him

Kai Havertz? Nope

MIKEL ARTETA 😂😂😂

[Ryan @_RyanAFC]

10/10 window 🙏🏼🔴

[Elias @Eftbl6]

Arsenal summer window 26/27

[Ryan @_RyanAFC]

@TMtalksball Facts. And people saying it’s greedy need to look at our deficiencies this season and see that those 3 areas need fixing if we want to level up. And those saying it’s unrealistic need to look at Liverpool last summer. £90m on Ekitike, £110m on Wirtz and £130m on Isak.

[HandofArsenal @HandofArsenal]

🚨 EXCL: Arsenal have now agreed full personal terms with Jeremy Monga. Still work to be done on the mechanism of his exit as the English Champions want to close the deal.

As I understand it, Berta met with the English teen sensation’s entourage and laid out a pathway similar to that of Max Dowman at the club. A loan move for Monga cannot also be ruled out once the teenager is settled.

Monga has given full preference to Arsenal over multiple clubs including City & Leverkusen. Story W/ @scoutingindoors

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨🔴⚪️ Arsenal are pushing to advance on Jeremy Monga deal with Leicester City and player’s camp.

Discussions ongoing as Monga has opened doors to the move to #AFC.

[Ryan @_RyanAFC]

@ctt_carys Agreed. Level raisers with technical ability and an eye for goal.

Who would be your midfield choice? Anderson doesn’t seem to be on our radar. I’m leaning towards Bouaddi over Fernandes and Tonali.

[Ryan @_RyanAFC]

@ctt_carys Where are we finding our runner or our attacker with raw pace should we sell Martinelli? That’s my only concern. I’m taking Rogers and Kroupi no questions asked, but the attack lacks pace in the squad.

[Ryan @_RyanAFC]

@ltarsenal ST - Kroupi
LW - Rogers
CM - Bouaddi or Fernandes
RB - I’d keep Ben, but if not, Livramento

[Sami Mokbel @SamiMokbel_BBC]

Arsenal hold genuine interest in Aston Villa forward Morgan Rogers. Internal talks over how attacker would fit in the squad given existing No 10 options. Sources not ruling out a bid. Plus progress made on move for Leicester teen Jeremy Monga. https://t.co/9xcoiTb4vF
