Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe is undergoing a medical ahead of joining RB Leipzig on loan for the rest of the season, according to Sky sources. The 18-year-old flew to Germany on Wednesday evening, ahead of a medical on Thursday morning with the Bundesliga side. RB Leipzig manager Ralph Rangnick said on Thursday: "Yes, I can confirm that the player is in Leipzig. And that we'll carry out the medical today. "Then we'll have to see that we have everything available to be able to complete the transfer today. If that is the case today, we do not have that much time left - everything must be done by 6pm then the player can come to us. "At the moment this is not the case and I cannot confirm this transfer yet. If everything will work out, then I can still say something about it tomorrow."

Barcelona are just waiting to receive a call from Denis Suarez’s agent with the agreement of Arsenal to conclude the player’s transfer, according to reports in Spain. Mundo Deportivo report that Suarez travelled with the Barcelona squad to Valencia, for their match against Levante, but that doesn’t mean a deal couldn’t go through very soon. The Spanish outlet say Barca are just waiting for a call from Suarez’s agent to notify them of agreement with Arsenal, but until then, the 25-year-old will keep playing. MD claim that ‘everything indicates’ the midfielder will end up joining Arsenal, but they don’t have a final agreement over how that transfer would actually take place. The Gunners are still asking for a loan transfer with an option-to-buy, whilst Barcelona want a loan fee and a mandatory purchase option, if not a permanent transfer immediately. The fact that Unai Emery has worked with the player before at Sevilla, and Raul Sanllehi joined Arsenal from Barcelona, sugge

Emerging report hints that Wales international and Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey would be announced as a Juventus player on Friday. The former Cardiff City star is reported to have agreed on personal terms with the club as he is set to earn the sum of £7.5 million a season from the Old Lady, in addition to the five years deal that was also agreed. However, reports from Italy claim that all has not been sorted between the Turin side and the North London side as Juventus are not willing to meet with the £20 million demand from the Gunners for the star player. The report claims that the Old Lady will make an attempt to convince the North London outfit into having a change of mind in the price so that it can be affordable. However, the Italian Serie A champions will be left with no choice than to make use of their second option of returning for the player in the summer window should Arsenal fail to come down with the price. A number of top European sides including Real Madrid, PSG, Bay

Arsenal’s giant Czech Republic keeper Petr Cech has finally called it a day after all these years, and he is definitely one of the most celebrated shot-stoppers in history after becoming the first keeper to record 200 clean sheets in the Premier League in Arsenal’s 3-0 win over Watford last season, during which he saved a penalty from Troy Deeney. He may have only won two Community Shields with the Gunners and will certainly be more revered by Chelsea fans as he won four Premier League titles, four FA Cups, the Champions League, the Europa League, and three League Cups, but he has certainly put up some great performances for the Gunners as well. He announced yesterday: “This is my 20th season as a professional player and it is 20 years since I signed my first professional contract, so it feels like the right time to announce that I will retire at the end of this season. “Having played 15 years in the Premier League and won every single trophy possible, I feel like I have achieved e

Reports emerged that Mislintat, who’s the head of recruitment for Arsenal, is set the leave the club. The Gunners appointed Mislintat in November 2017 as their Chief scout, his portfolio was later changed to head of recruitment. Arsene Wenger and Ivan Gazidis were still on the reigns of Arsenal when he was appointed but both are gone, while Emery is in the charge of the club, in its transition process. Known as “Diamond Eye”, Mislintat has been able to bolster the rank of Arsenal with some quality players including Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Mavropanos. Although, Arsenal are yet to issue an official statement on his impending departure, the Guardian reports that he decided to quit because Arsenal do not favour him for the technical director position. Whatever the reason is, Arsenal are on the track of a collapse if the owner fails to release money for tr

According to emerging reports, Arsenal and Tottenham have signified interest in Germany and Hoffenheim attacking midfielder Nadiem Amiri.

LUCAS PEREZ IS NOW A WEST HAM PLAYER. The Spaniard has joined Manuel Pellegrini’s West Ham on a three-year contract. Perez, who arrived at the Emirates from from Deportivo La Coruna in 2016, leaves for just £4m two-years later – that’s less than a quarter of the £17m fee the Gunners paid for the striker. He is Manuel Pellegrini’s ninth summer signing and their second from Arsenal following the capture of Jack Wilshere last month. As reported by BBC Sport, Perez said: “I’m very happy to be here at such an historic club. “I’m very excited, as West Ham are giving me the chance to stay in the Premier League and I’m very happy to be part of this new project. “West Ham have great fans and play in an amazing stadium, so to sign here brings me great joy. I’m very motivated.” Perez struggled to make an impression on both Arsene Wenger in his debut season and Unai Emery this summer. The striker, who netted a hat-trick on his Champions League debut for the Gunners, leaves after making just two Pr
