A few weeks ago, North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham were dragged into transfer tussle to sign Andre Gomes. The Portuguese has had a poor first season at Spanish giant Barcelona, and his value at the moment is relatively low. Notwithstanding, the Catalan press reports there’s widespread interest in signing Gomes, and the two London clubs were added to the list. Mundo Deportivo reported weeks back that the two prime suitors are Juventus and Manchester United, but they then include: ‘The other could be Arsenal or Tottenham.’ On Monday the same publication looks at the tussle again, suggesting that the Portuguese could be used as bait to sign PSG's Marco Verratti.

Arsenal are prepared to launch a move to sign Celtic attacker Moussa Dembele if the Gunners are forced to sell Alexis Sanchez this summer, according to the Daily Star Sanchez dropped a big hint that he’s looking to leave the club after telling journalists at the weekend that he wants to play in the UEFA Champions League – something the Gunners can’t offer him this coming season.

Arsenal manager expects £8 million rated midfielder to stay despite transfer link
