9:10am – ARSENAL & NEWCASTLE TARGET SIGNS NEW CONTRACT

RC Lens midfielder Seko Fofana is a player Arsenal and Newcastle have been tracking this summer, but he won’t be moving to the Premier League after surprisingly signing a new deal until 2025.

9:05am – ARTETA ADMITS ARSENAL MAY MOVE FOR MIDFIELDER

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta admitted after the 2-1 win over Aston Villa on Wednesday that his side may need to sign a midfielder after Mohamed Elneny sustained a serious injury at the weekend.

The Spaniard is also without Thomas Partey, and that prompted the Spaniard to admit that a fresh face could come in – Leicester’s Youri Tielemans, out of contract next summer, has long been linked.

“[Elneny’s injury] has an impact because also Thomas is injured, and we are a bit short in that position. We have Sambi, players like Granit can play there, but we are looking at options in the market. The club has been super supportive to try to keep improving the team and the squad as we can. If the right player is there and we can do it, we will try.”
