Unai Emery enquiry
Arsenal boss Unai Emery is ready to rock West Ham by signing Domagoj Vida this summer.
Vida has been linked to the Hammers after helping Croatia reach the World Cup final this summer, where they lost to France.
Yet Sport Witness, citing reports in Turkey, say Emery is ready to stun his Premier League rivals by signing the defender.
It is claimed he has approached Besiktas about a deal with Arsenal now hopeful of securing his signature.
Sport Witness say Arsenal’s interest in Vida has been well-received by Besiktas.
Steven N’Zonzi request
Arsenal transfer target Steven N’Zonzi has told Sevilla he wants to leave, after holding talks with the Gunners this summer.
The Frenchman has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates in recent weeks, as Unai Emery seeks a reunion with the player he coached at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium.
N’Zonzi is currently on holiday after winning the World Cup with France this month.
But according to Foot Mercato, the midfielder is hoping to avoid a return to Spain ahead of the new La Liga season.
The publication claims N’Zonzi has already told Sevilla he wants to leave after three successful years at the club.
Arsenal have been the clear front-runners to sign the former Stoke star this summer and Foot Mercato claim the Gunners have already held talks with the player’s representatives.
N’Zonzi’s release clause is set at €40m (£35m), which is likely to tempt European suitors to make a move in the coming weeks.
One. More. Deal.
Unai Emery wants one more transfer this summer despite Kingsley Coman ruling out a Bayern Munich exit.
Arsenal boss Emery has been tipped to sign Coman from Bayern Munich amid uncertainty over the player’s long-term future.
However, the France international has already admitted he wants to stay at the Allianz Arena for a new era under Niko Kovac, who succeeded Jupp Heynckes earlier this summer.
Arsenal have already had a successful window, luring five players to the Emirates in the form of Stephan Lichtsteiner, Bernd Leno, Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Lucas Torreira and Matteo Guendouzi.
And Football London claim the Gunners still want one more addition.
