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 have shown the club that I can play for them and when I return next season I need to 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.”
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.

IT’S TOUGH THEN

ARE YOU GOING OR NOT?

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: “Mucha suerte amigo. Te sales,” which translates as ‘good luck my friend, you go out.’
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 wants time, so it makes even less sense to put his resources on older players right now.
“It’s a rare and unusual technique the club runs, unless you plan to sell Lacazette, but we don’t know.
