Paper Talk: Arsenal Going On A Hunt For New Players

Arsenal are planning to sign three new players according to papers talk

ARSENAL PLAN SUMMER MOVE FOR IDRISSA GUEYE

Arsenal has placed there sight on Everton midfielder, Idrissa Gueye this summer – and want to turn him into their own N’Golo Kante.

Arsenal were linked with a move for Kante over the summer when it became apparent he was leaving Leicester, but the Frenchman instead opted for a move to Chelsea.

Meanwhile, at around the same time Everton were signing Gueye in a bargain deal, believed to be £7.1million, after they matched his release clause at relegated Aston Villa. His stats for tackling and interceptions second only to Kante last season.

And the Senegal star has gone on to become a huge success at Goodison Park, with The Sun claiming Arsenal ready to compete with clubs from Italy and Spain to sign Gueye in a reported £25million swoop this summer.

Any sale would likely make Everton a huge profit on the player, but the Toffees are not keen to sell and also plan to reward the player with a new contract to tie him down at Goodison Park.

Arsenal are also once again being linked with a double raid on Celtic.

The Sun also claims in-demand Celtic hotshot Moussa Dembele is one of the names on their their summer wish list, while they’ve also made regular checks on teenage left-back Kieran Tierney, according to the Daily Mirror.

With Nacho Monreal’s long-term future at Arsenal in doubt, the Gunners have also been linked with Valencia’s Jose Gaya.

WEST HAM MAKE ENQUIRIES FOR ARSENAL’S LUCAS PEREZ

West Ham have spoken to Arsenal about the possibility of signing striker Lucas Perez this summer.

The Times claim Perez is ready to quit Arsenal in search of regular first-team football after being largely limited during his maiden season in the Premier League. The 28-year-old has only made two Premier League starts since signing from Deportivo La Coruna.

And the broadsheet claims the prospect of moving across London could interest the player, with Slaven Bilic a known admirer of the Spaniard.

West Ham have struggled for goals this season and have made the signing of a new frontman one of their top priorities this summer. They’ve been linked with Mario Mandzukic, but their interest in Daniel Sturridge looks to be cooling after PSG were linked with a move the England player.

According to The Times,repots says Perez will not come cheap with the Gunners reportedly rejecting a £28million offer for the striker from a Chinese Super League club last month.
