Kia Joorabchian is heavily involved in all the noise you hear about Bruno G.

Newcastle are yet to receive any contact from Arsenal.

If the player pushes and we make a serious offer, I will update. Until then just chill out.

🚨 Arsenal made verbal offer to sign Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United. #AFC proposal through intermediaries below £60m - rejected + #NUFC insist sale of 28yo #Brazil int’l midfielder will not be entertained. W/ @gunnerblog @ChrisDHWaugh @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/EAsKXjwYCW

Hincapie's here to stay 🇪🇨

The club is delighted to announce that Piero has signed a permanent deal at The Arsenal 👊

🚨 @JacobsBen: “I do expect Arsenal to sign Morgan Rogers. He is Arsenal’s leading target for left-wing and/or #10. My information is that Rogers has zero preference as to whether he’s signed as a left-winger or a #10.”

“Arsenal are expected to bid & this could move quickly. Aston Villa, even with Champions League football, are looking for a major sale to balance their books.”

“When Rogers extended last year, there was an understanding that he could leave this summer for a fee of £80m as a starting point. It’s NOT a release clause or gentleman’s understanding, but Villa had said they will not unduly stand in his way.”

“I’m still told engagement will start at £80m, that’s NOT to say it’ll be the number that secures a transfer, but that is the beginning to start a conversation with Aston Villa. I think there’s a very strong chance this deal happens.” ✅🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 [@LatteFirm]

Arsenal looking to play BVB Dortmund and Como in the home pre season friendlies. Nothing finalised yet but they are the main front runners with one potentially being the Emirates Cup game.

Potential dates are 9 Aug & 12 Aug (TBD)

Julian Alvarez Update

If you remember, I stated there was another attacker I chose to keep anonymous. That player was indeed Julian Alvarez. The reason I said it was sensitive was because one of our players (Gyökeres) was potentially involved but let me just provide the facts for Arsenal fans. To my understanding the following statements are 100% factual.

• The players dream is Barca (personal terms agreed already)
• Barca have always wanted Julian to go public with his desire to force Atleti's position
• Atleti are adamant they will not to sell to Barca and would rather sell abroad but it wont stop Barca from trying
• PSG to my understanding left the race due to Campos / Enrique not wanting a player who doesn’t absolutely prioritise them but I wont be shocked if they return due to the players quality
• Julian has been a target for Arsenal since last summer
• After our group stage game Arteta made it clear we must atleast be in the race for the Argentine
• I can 100% confirm Atleti have interest in Viktor Gyökeres
• Andrea Berta has maintained contacts with the camp since last summer and has explored 'different structures & mechanisms' to bring Julian Alvarez to North London in the recent months…
• Reports about 'the English weather' being a reason Julian and his family would not return to England are absolutely false.
• The player would be very open to joining Arsenal and has directly told us should his dream to Barca become impossible
• Arsenal are yet to officially formalise their interest but Atleti are well aware of our interest.

The situation is chaotic but my role is to provide the absolute facts to the best of my knowledge in real time not predict the future. Its difficult enough tracking Berta and his 1000 spinning plates technique, its even harder when he silently speaks to ex-colleagues at Atleti with whom he has a lot of trust with but I have presented the facts. Genuinely feel a lot of relief talking about this all as its been exhausting to track for 14 months. I need to sleep now as I have been awake all night contacting sources 😂

Jeremy Monga is now expected to sign for Arsenal Football Club.

Story with @scoutingindoors

Been a pleasure working together champ.

[now.arsenal @now_arsenaI]

🚨Morgan Rogers has agreed to join Arsenal. The 23-year-old is almost certainly heading to North London.

[@GoldbergCFC]

[HandofArsenal @HandofArsenal]

🚨EXCL : Arsenal will officially open talks with Aston Villa to sign Morgan Rogers in the coming weeks. There is a real willingness from the English Champions to get a deal done at a reasonable price. Fee will be the key. Personal terms are no issue at all.

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

Happy one-month anniversary since Arsenal became 25/26 Premier League champions 🏆

[Sami Mokbel @SamiMokbel_BBC]

Arsenal set to make pre-contract offer to sign Georgia Under-21 international Andria Bartishvili. Talks ongoing but other clubs involved in race for 17-year-old. https://t.co/Db2gjYz5mJ

🚨🔴⚪️ EXCLUSIVE: Arsenal sent official bid to Leicester City to get Jeremy Monga deal done.

Gvardiol's stinking up the place.

Another Rice corner. Insane consistency.

Morgan Rogers Update

• Morgan Rogers has given preference to joining the English champions. Other clubs are still actively in the race but acknowledge the player's current preference.

• Morgan Rogers has respectfully communicated his desire to leave to senior figures at Villa (significant).

• Personal terms have been explored and are not a hindrance at all.

• Morgan Rogers is sold on the Mikel Arteta project and plan for him.

• Morgan Rogers was on the shortlist of attacking reinforcements Arsenal discussed last summer.

• My understanding is that Villa and Arsenal are in contact through unofficial channels regarding any potential deal. Remember my words: the fee is key to this deal. The player is fully on board.

• Andrea Berta has asked to be kept fully informed about any other club making a move for Morgan. If Arsenal do make a move, there will be another update.

Chelsea, in particular, have been pleading with Morgan to showcase their plan for him, but as of today, the response is "Arsenal." Manchester United have also explored the situation of Morgan, with Carrick being a big fan.

Bradley Barcola and one other player are also of interest to Arsenal. Details on that in due time.

Arsenal are also in direct contact with multiple midfielders, as recently as a few days ago. The likes of Bouaddi, Scott, Kone, Larsson, and two others. As I mentioned yesterday, we are yet to make contact with any club officially while Berta explores personal terms with all of them. One of these players is convinced he is joining Arsenal. It's important to remember that Livramento also felt the same way, but it highlights how strong the conversations are.

Arsenal are also monitoring the Madrid midfielder situation. Tonali was offered to us in January; talks have never surpassed personal terms as of today. These clubs are using Elliot Anderson's deal as a market scale. Newcastle want crazy money, as do Palace for Wharton.

Personally, I hope its Ayyoub Bouaddi we accelerate a move for!

Taking a very short holiday. I'll be back!

Gyokeres' assist 👏

Germans going to win 7-1, Curacao sounds way too brazilian

[Eduardo Hagn @EduardoHagn]

🚨 @garyjacob:

Arsenal are in talks with Ayyoub Bouaddi’s representatives. 🇲🇦

Mikel Arteta wants a 4-man midfield rotation next season: Declan Rice, Zubimendi, Lewis-Skelly and a new signing. 🤝

[HandofArsenal @HandofArsenal]

When the time is right, we will discuss Morgan Rogers also.

Patience is the master of the situation.
