LYON ON STANDBY

ESPN claims that Pep Guardiola’s team is facing an Arsenal festival, which reportedly already presented Matteo Guendouzi as an exchange for the midfielder.

THE ART OF WORK
Arsenal has investigated Thiago Alcantara as Mikel Arteta to knock out Liverpool and take Bayern Munich star to the Emirates.
The midfielder is reportedly about to move to Anfield, but Jurgen Klopp is not yet in a position to succeed in calling for Bayern for a fee of 23 million pounds, as Thiago will be on the loose next summer.
That may leave the door open for Arsenal, but you will have to sell to players like Lucas Torreira and Mohamed Elneny for themselves to pay the fees.
