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)
๐จ Kristian Kjaer (FC Midtjylland technical director): โWe know that Arsenal have been looking into Dario Osorio (22). There are other clubs in the Premier League also looking into him. He has the full package, seen as the next Alexis Sanchez in Chile.โ ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ๐จ๐ฑ [@tabuteauS]
@AdzRMA@Afc_ArsenalX1 Fvcker let's face it, ya'll only won all those Champions Leagues because you didn't face Arsenal in any of them. You've never won a match against AFC! ๐๐๐ช
๐จ Arsenal play down reports about talks at advanced state for Manu Kone.

Morgan Rogers Update
โข 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.
โข Morgan Rogers has respectfully communicated his desire to leave to senior figures at Villa (significant).
โข Personal terms have been explored and are not a hindrance at all.
โข Morgan Rogers is sold on the Mikel Arteta project and plan for him.
โข Morgan Rogers was on the shortlist of attacking reinforcements Arsenal discussed last summer.
โข 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.
โข 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!

๐จ Arsenal exploring deal to sign Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge. 24yo left-sided winger expected to be gettable for ~โฌ40m. Move for Greece international does not impact #AFC interest in Morgan Rogers or other options to strengthen attack @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/lBe1BINfU2
@sgubhu_mgodi@AfricaFirsts What roots? You are fucking delusional man. There's no roots, there's just humanity, that's it. You make the distinction between just like the white man, you thrive and love diversity. ๐คท๐
@xolitshambu@AfricaFirsts Is it that so?
That's just like you guys who can't decide whether you should act like a black or white person in public? Blacks doing Yoga and shit. Haibo! You are fvcking delusional man. ๐ญ๐
@ZamiSono@Xodwabantu@AfricaFirsts Ask any professional young player at grass roots level anywhere in world where they would like to end up playing professionally?
Lemme guess, your answer will be in the PSL, right? Fvcking delusional man! ๐
๐จ๐ดโช๏ธ Arsenal are pushing to advance on Jeremy Monga deal with Leicester City and playerโs camp.
Discussions ongoing as Monga has opened doors to the move to #AFC.
I think many people especially Arsenal fans don't seem to understand that all these words came from the mouth of David Ornstein.
Grab your popcorn for a beautiful summer break, who do you want to see Arsenal sign?
