Schalke 04 are reportedly preparing a new club-record contract offer for Leon Goretzka to ward off interest from the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal. The 22-year-old’s displays for club and country have drawn the interests of some Europe’s biggest sides in recent weeks, and he could be available for a cut-price transfer in January as his current deal ends at the end of the campaign. Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp is believed to see Goretzka as a potential replacement for Emre Can, who himself is out of deal next summer, and is reportedly lining up a bid for the Germany international. But, the Reds are likely to face strong competition for his services, with Arsenal naming Goretzka as cover for Mesut Ozil and United also between the interested sides. Bild suggests that Schalke are still desperate to keep their prized asset, though, and are set to offer him a massive new contract which would make him the highest-paid footballer in the club’s hist

SKY SPORTS reporter Alan Irwin is most famous for having a sex toy shoved into his ear on deadline day. But today Irwin showed he could play the joker by staging a mini transfer prank. Irwin is stationed at Manchester United’s training ground today to bring Sky Sports News viewers the latest on deadline day. He delivered an update shortly after 8am whereby he said incomings were unlikely. With a steely straight face, he said: “One thing I should tell you is Sanchez has arrived in Manchester.” Could the Arsenal star move to United or City on deadline day?It had viewers on tenter hooks… at least for a second. Irwin then smiled: “But don’t get too excited, it’s the name of our security gig! “We were shocked too but it’s all eventually been sorted.” Sky Sports then cut back to the studio to a laughing Mike Wedderburn. A City fan himself, Wedderburn retorted: “That is bants, reporter bants, that’s what that is! Arsenal this week rejected an approach for Alexis Sanchez from City

Liverpool have agreed a fee of £35m for Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who had a medical with the Anfield club on Wednesday evening, according to Sky sources. The 24-year-old is set to join Liverpool on a six-year deal after the two clubs came to an agreement on Wednesday, although Oxlade-Chamberlain is yet to agree personal terms with the Reds. Liverpool will pay a fee of £35m for Oxlade-Chamberlain - the same figure that was previously agreed with Chelsea for the versatile midfielder. Oxlade-Chamberlain, currently away on international duty with England, conducted a medical at St George's Park ahead of his proposed move to Anfield. The former Southampton youngster turned down a new improved deal at Arsenal earlier this month which would have seen him earn £180,000 a week. Arsenal agreed a deal with Chelsea for Oxlade-Chamberlain earlier this week but  the midfielder rejected the chance to join the Blues in favour of a move to Anfield . News of the deal

Arsenal may be having hard times in convincing the likes of Alexis Sanchez and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to sign new contracts despite all efforts to tie them down. However, latest report suggests that Arsene Wenger is set to sanction a big money move for a highly-rated forward. Spanish source  DiarioGol  claim that Arsenal are keenly interested in Real Madrid’s winger Marco Asensio who announced himself to the world in Madrid’s 3-1 away win against Barcelona in the Supercopa de España. The 21-year-old has been tipped as a successor to Cristiano Ronaldo majorly due to his ability to score in big games, as he was on the score sheet of UEFA Champions League final in which Madrid defeated Juventus 4-1 at Cardiff Asensio is considered to be in Zinedine Zidane’s plans for this season but reports claim that Wenger is willing to test Madrid’s resolve with a bid. Further claim from the same report says that the Arsenal boss is also ready to match the player’s release clause valued at £

The Gunners have been targeting the signing of the 21-year-old largely due to the uncertain future of star midfielder Mesut Ozil. Arsene Wenger submitted a $40 million offer for Lemar which was rejected by AS Monaco last month. However, the Sun are now claiming that the French midfielder has agreed personal terms with Arsenal over a move to the Emirates stadium. Lemar has reportedly given the greenlight to a £90,000-a-week deal with the Gunners who have already secured the acquisition of his France teammate Alexandre Lacazette. This comes after reports by L’Equipe which claimed that Wenger had submitted a new $51.3 million offer for the Monaco star.

  Arsenal Banter brings you latest update on Arsenal news from top media sites like Daily Mail, Metro, The Express, The Independent, The Telegraph, SkySports and so on. Inter Milan will go head to head with Arsenal for Schalke midfilder Leon Goretzka, as per report from the  Corriere Dello Sport   ( via  fcinter1908.it ). The German international is reportedly being targeted to be a replacement for Portuguese midfielder Joao Mario who could be leaving after just a season at the Giuseppe Meazza. Mario moved to Inter Milan in a £34million deal but has failed to deliver. He found the net three times and provided eight assists in 33 apearances, but has been on the sideline in the last few weeks of last season. Goretzka has put up an impressive display for Germany at the Confederations Cups, playing in the central park. The Portuguese international would however need to leave the Italian club first before an approach can be made for Goretzka. The 22-year-old’s cont

Olympique Lyonnais striker Alexandre Lacazette has undergone a successful medical at Arsenal ahead of his £52.7 million ($90 million) move, according to reports in the UK. The deal, which includes add-ons, should be completed before Arsene Wenger's squad flies to Australia on Sunday and will be for a club-record fee, beating the £42.5 million ($72 million) Arsenal paid Real Madrid for Mesut Ozil in 2013. Lacazette's arrival is Wenger's first piece of significant business in the transfer window and follows the promise from chief-executive Ivan Gazidis last week that "top quality" summer signings would arrive this summer. Arsenal are now likely to end their widely reported interest in Monaco striker Kylian Mbappe and Lacazette's signing could also mean the departure from Arsenal of another French international, Olivier Giroud, who struggled to hold down a first-team place last season. For Lacazette, 26, the move to London represents a retur

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will seek assurances over his first-team role at Arsenal before deciding whether to stay at the club. The Gunners have opened talks with the 23-year-old over a new contract with just a year left on his existing agreement amid interest from Liverpool and Manchester City.  Arsenal expect Oxlade-Chamberlain to sign a new deal worth in the region of £100,000-a-week but negotiations have slowed with the midfielder determined to ensure he is a key part of manager Arsene Wenger’s plans. Oxlade-Chamberlain has made no secret of his desire to play in a central role and enjoyed a brief spell there last season before Wenger switched to a 3-4-2-1 system.  That formation reinvigorated Arsenal and Oxlade-Chamberlain’s performances at right wing-back were key to its success. However, Hector Bellerin is strong competition for that position while Arsenal are well-stocked for central midfielders and also retain an interest in signing Juventus’ Mario Lemina. Live

The 24-year-old has found game-time difficult to come by in Madrid and United could make their move after their Swede's major injury Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is considering making a summer approach for Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata following Zlatan Ibrahimovic's anterior cruciate ligament injury. The Old Trafford boss admitted recently that long-term knee injuries to Ibrahimovic and Marcos Rojo had affected his plans for the summer transfer market, saying: “Yes, if I don’t have the players for a long period of time, obviously it affects plans.” Their search for forwards has been ramped up dramatically, and Real Madrid star Morata is one of the players being considered as an alternative in the No.9 role to the Swede, who's bagged 28 goals in 2016-17, as a result of his major surgery. Mourinho’s working relationship with the 24-year-old during his spell in charge at the Bernabeu is thought to be a key asset should United decide to make

According to a report in the Mirror , Arsenal are eyeing a move for Malaga’s £15m-rated midfielder Pablo Fornals as a potential long-term replacement for Santi Cazorla. Despite on-going doubts over his future at the club, Arsene Wenger is still pressing ahead with his summer transfer plans as he looks to re-shape his squad following another disappointing campaign. Central midfield has been an area of concern ever since Cazorla was sidelined back in October and we need to find a long-term replacement for the 32-year-old as he can’t be relied upon to stay fit due to his dodgy Achilles. It looks like Arsene has found his man as the Mirror are citing a report from Marca that claims Arsenal are lining-up a swoop for Pablo Fornals after regularly scouting the Malaga midfielder throughout the season. The 21-year-old has enjoyed an excellent campaign for mid-table Malaga and has already earned his first cap for the senior Spain team so he looks like he has a huge future ahead of him. F

According to the Guardian , Arsenal have held initial talks with the agent of Jean Michael Seri with Nice ready to cash-in on the midfielder if £20m is put on the table this summer. Seri has enjoyed a superb campaign in France with the Ivory Coast international playing a key role in helping Nice sustain a surprise title challenge. The 25-year-old was outstanding once again on Sunday night as Nice beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 to move three points behind the French giants in third place in the Ligue 1 table. The Guardian claim that Seri’s display has convinced PSG boss Unai Emery to pursue the midfielder this summer as a possible replacement for Juventus-bound Marco Verratti. However, the newspaper says that Arsenal are also showing a keen interest in signing Seri with Arsene Wenger sending scouts to watch him in action on several occasions this season. The Guardian  go on to say the midfielder’s agent was in London last week to hold initial talks with Arsenal chiefs about a possi

Olivier Giroud and Francis Coquelin celebrate a goal against Sunderland Arsenal have announced forward Olivier Giroud, midfielder Francis Coquelin and defender Laurent Koscielny have all agreed new contract extensions. France striker Giroud, 30, has returned to the side in recent weeks to score four goals in as many appearances, including his scorpion kick effort in the win over Crystal Palace. Coquelin, 25, has developed into a key member of the first-team squad following his return from a loan at Charlton in December 2014, while centre-back Koscielny has proved a consistent performer since joining from Lorient in July 2010. Gunners boss Arsene Wenger believes the contract extensions are just reward for each of the players' own hard work. "We are very pleased that three important members of our team have committed to us for the long term," Wenger said on the club's official website, www.arsenal.com. "Francis has made tremendous technical strides o
