Arsenal’s 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United on Monday night is still fresh in the memory, as the Gunners were beaten soundly and could have conceded more.
Tottenham’s victory over Burnley means they now have control of the race for fourth place, requiring only a win against relegated Norwich City to secure Champions League football.
Arsenal must beat Everton and hope for a slip-up from Tottenham if they are to have any chance of qualifying for Europe’s elite competition; otherwise, they will take part in the Europa League next season.
As the season draws to a close, we have gathered all the latest transfer rumours from Arsenal.
Hickey Deal
Arsenal have reportedly agreed a deal with Bologna for the signing of their promising 19-year-old right-back, Aaron Hickey.
Reports from Italy suggest that the Gunners have secured Hickey’s services and just minor details are left to finalise the transfer.
Arteta needs a right-back, with Hickey the favoured candidate for the role. Arsenal have been linked with him for weeks and he appears to be the man.
Martinez hijack
According to The Mirror, Arsenal could suffer a double blow in the race for Champions League football next season. Tottenham not only look set to secure fourth place ahead of Arsenal, but they could also beat them to Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez.
The report claims Inter are willing to sell Lautaro Martinez for a fee of £70million, and manager Antonio Conte is reportedly interested in reuniting with the Argentine ace should Tottenham secure a top four finish.
Gabriel Jesus Deal Off?
Arsenal have made Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus a transfer target, but their lack of Champions League football could be an obstacle.
Two other clubs are also thought to be interested in signing the Brazilian, according to new reports from Calciomercato.
The Italian outlet reported that Juventus and Newcastle United are interested in signing the Gunners target, meaning they will have to fight off other suitors for his services.
