Arsenal bosses reportedly ignored a headhunter to point to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg this summer.
Athletic claims that headhunter Peter Clark has presented the Southampton star as an option for Thomas Partey.
But the club ignored his recommendation and Hojbjerg is about to sign for his rival Tottenham this summer.
‘TOP DOLLAR’
John Hartson says Celtic will have to ask for at least 40 million pounds for Odsonne Edouard.
The French striker has caught the attention of Arsenal and many more sensitive clubs after shining since he was on loan to Parkhead in 2017.
He said: “The coach and the board need you to stay, but the club is known to sell players when the right offer comes in.
“What would I do to him now? 40 million pounds?”
“Moussa Dembele was for 20 million pounds and Chelsea would pay 70 million pounds for it.
“Why would Celtic let Edward pass cheaply? If you need to sell it, you have to get the price.”
PARTY TIME
Arsenal have reportedly offered Atletico Madrid their pick of three players as part of a swap deal for Thomas Partey.
The 27-year-old has a primary goal for Mikel Arteta, but the Gunners’ boss is not in a position to comply with his forty-five million pound release clause.
Instead, Arsenal can come with Alexandre Lacazette, Hector Bellerin or Lucas Torreira as part of the deal.
But according to Spanish football journalist Kike Marín, Atlético needs the clause to be paid in full.
Back to the drawing board Arteta…
FERD IT HERE FIRST
Robert Pires named Rio Ferdinand and John Terry the two toughest war ahead parts of the Premier League.
Gunners legend told the MOTD Top 10 podcast: “In the Premier League are John Terry and Rio Ferdinand.
“The matches against Chelsea and Manchester United have been tricky and Terry and Ferdinand have been very tough, very physical.
“Coming from France to play in the Premier League, it was very complicated at first.”
FOLLOWS HIS
Arsenal have joined the race to sign Marseille midfielder Morgan Sanson, according to reports.
According to Le10 Sport, the Gunners have started talks with the French club.
He claims that Mikel Arteta has been watching the 25-year-old for a long time.

ARSENAL FANS GOOD MORNING,
Willian’s announcement through the Gunners would be announced next week.
ESPN Brazil says his in Chelsea is officially over after his Champions League is eliminated at the hands of Chelsea.
They say that a three-year fuel agreement has been reached in the Emirates and that the smaller main points are to be resolved before their passage to north London is confirmed.
On the other hand, Emiliano Martínez admitted that he would possibly have to leave Arsenal if he lost his post to Bernd Leno.
He told Argentine radio station Continental: “I showed the club that I can play for them and when I come back next season I have more games.
“That is the only way I will stay at Arsenal.
“My purpose is to consolidate my position at Arsenal and to succeed in the Argentina national team as number one.
“I probably wouldn’t stop it until I realize it, and if I don’t play for Arsenal, I’ll definitely move on.”
And Arsenal would be to lash Alexandre Lacazette to Atletico Madrid for 30 million pounds.
The Star says the Frenchman will be thrilled if Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang presents a new symptom in the Emirates.
The report adds that Lacazette is also not satisfied as a small player in Mikel Arteta’s first-team plans.
IT’S TOUGH THEN
Arsenal put their worth for midfielder Matteo Guendouzi this summer after Paris Saint-Germain joined Barcelona and Villarreal in the race for signing.
Football London says the Ligue 1 giants, the PSG, are a resolution for the Frenchman.
Arsenal is said to have about 40 million pounds for Guendouzi, who was captured for only 7 million pounds in Lorient two years ago.
SEQUEL ZAHA
Wilfried Zaha has since had the video on Instagram.
He wrote, “I’m enjoying my free time and I can’t do everything other people do.”
ARE YOU GOING OR NOT?
Wilfried Zaha went crazy for Arsenal enthusiasts after being filmed with a neon sign that read “Zaha al Arsenal” in a nightclub.

FAB WORK
Cesc Fábregas sent a message to Willian after confirming his departure from Chelsea before his wait to let off Arsenal.
The Spaniard wrote: “Good luck amipass.” Sales “, which translates as” pass it, buddy, you faint.
I’ll do it sometime.
They told Arsenal that Willian’s arrival made sense if they sold Alexandre Lacazette.
Football expert Gabriele Marcotti told Sky Sports: “What would worry me is that Arsenal would be the same as Lacazette in a year.’
“He is 29 years old and one more year in his contract than Aubameyang.
“When you raise that Arsenal can signal Willian a three-year contract, it’s a lot of cash to devote to attacking players who are in their 30s or will be in their 30s.
“It’s a lot of money to build. It turns out that it succeeds when Arsenal has teenagers like Saka, Martinelli and (Eddie) Nketiah, whom they probably need to grow.
“Mikel Arteta is on an upward trajectory, but he needs time, so it makes even less sense to put your resources in older players at this stage.
“It’s a rare and unusual technique the club runs, unless you plan to sell Lacazette, but we don’t know.
DECISION S-MART
Martin Keown warned Arsenal that he will have to pay a ransom for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s wage claims.
He told PA Sport: “[Mikel] Arteta has been going on for less than 8 months and left with an FA Cup.
“He’s someone who can make a difference [in Aubameyang’s decision] and if he needs the football club forward, he’ll be influential.
“The former manager, Unai Emery, said he is not part of Aaron Ramsey’s negotiations.
“Well, this time Arteta has made room to worry about negotiations and that’s fair and appropriate.
“I don’t think they have to pay a ransom, as they seemed to be under Ozil’s contract, but on the ground, Aubameyang turns out to be someone else.
“The mere fact that he indicates that it allows you to do so and wait for the long term, however, no individual is bigger than the football club as the Ozil saga has shown.”
N’LAC BACKPACK
Arsenal will take Alexandre Lacazette to Atletico Madrid for 30 million pounds.
The Star says the Frenchman will be thrilled if Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang presents a new symptom in the Emirates.
The report adds that Lacazette is also unhappy to be merely a bit-part player in Mikel Arteta’s first-team plans.
THE ONLY ONE
Emiliano Martínez has admitted that he may have to leave Arsenal if he loses his place to Bernd Leno.
He told Argentine radio station Continental: “I showed the club that I can play for them and when I come back next season I have more games.
“That’s the way to stay at Arsenal.
“My purpose is to consolidate my position at Arsenal and to succeed in the Argentina national team as number one.
“I probably wouldn’t stop it until I realize it, and if I don’t play for Arsenal, I’ll definitely move on.”
Unexpectedly
Chelsea must have made a 20 million pound move to reach Manchester City defender John Stones.
The 26-year-old English star is likely to leave the Etihad this summer after the arrival of 41 million pounds from former Blues player Nathan Ake.
According to the Mirror, the former Everton boy has emerged from Chelsea boss Frank Lampard.
The report adds that Lamps believes he can resurrect Stones’ career and is in a position to sanction a movement of 20 million pounds.
But they are expected to face a festival for the Stones by his former boss David Moyes at West Ham.
Arsenal, controlled by former City Arteta assistant, is also interested in the London club having to sell before they can buy.
What GUNNER likes
Mikel Arteta is making plans for a summer primary review at Arsenal and his starting lineup may be very different next season.
The Gunners have been connected to the South American trio James Rodriguez, Philippe Coutinho and Willian.
And if they win all 3 stars, the Gunners’ attack would intimidate top Premier League defenses.
This is how Arsenal can line up …
SUMMER PARTEY
Thomas Partey remains Arsenal’s top transfer target but Atletico Madrid are reportedly holding out his full £45million release clause.
Kike Marin claims that the Gunners had tried the value required through Spanish by proposing an exchange agreement between Lucas Torreira, Héctor Bellerin or Alexandre Lacazette.
However, the report adds that Atletico rejected the talks and insisted that its clause be completely activated.
Mikel Arteta has been desperately down metal in midfield this summer.
Earlier this year, he met Partey as his number one target after a sensational season in Spain.
The Ghanaian has a contract at Wanda Metropolitano until the end of the 2022–23 season.

SUITE WILLIAN
Willian added: “There was also a complaint, which is normal, but the vital thing is that the affection and grievance prompted me to give each and every one of the things in each and every educational session, in each and every game, so that consistently improve up to my last minute with a Chelsea shirt!
“The time has come to move on. I’m going to miss my teammates.
“All the club staff who have treated me like a son will miss me and I will miss the hobby.
“I’m in 15th place, knowing that I’ve won things here and that I’ve done my best productivity in a Chelsea shirt.
“My greatest honest thanks are to all of you and God bless you!”
I’ll do it sometime.
Willian showed his departure from Chelsea in a moving open letter.
The 32-year-old Brazilian spent seven seasons at Stamford Bridge without being able to settle for a contract extension.
In a post he posted on social media, he said, “It’s been seven glorious years. In August 2013, when I won Chelsea’s offer, I was convinced that this was where I deserve to play.
“Today I am sure it was the most productive decision. There were so many moments of satisfaction, some sad, there were trophies and it was very intense.
“However, beyond trophies, I learned a lot about myself. I’ve evolved a lot, a better player and a better person.
“With each training session, with each game, with every minute spent in the dressing room, I was always learning.
“In fact, I am grateful to Chelsea enthusiasts for the loving way I was welcomed at Stamford Bridge and their help during my time at the club.
NEAR WEN
Arsene Wenger has had ups and downs as Arsenal manager.
During his 22 years at the club, he led the team to an era of unprecedented good fortune, adding the 2003–04 Invincible campaign.
But he lost the enthusiasts towards the end due to the effects suffered on the field, the team collapsed and was unable to update the outgoing stars in the movement market.
It wasn’t necessarily to try, Wenger was connected to a lot of star names over the years.
However, most of the time, the former Gunners coach got lost, and we compiled a larger number of players that he tired and couldn’t hire.
