Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta allegedly filed severance pay for Mesut Ozil.
Get all the latest news and gossip from North London here…
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 state a three-year deal gas been agreed at the Emirates, and only minor details need to be sorted out before his switch to North London is confirmed.
Elsewhere, Emiliano Martinez has admitted 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 won’t stop until I get that and if I don’t play for Arsenal, then clearly I would 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 are said to want around £40million for Guendouzi who they snared for just £7m from 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.
WILL I NEVER
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 seems an odd and unusual approach the club are taking, unless they are planning to sell Lacazette, but we don’t know that.”
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 not satisfied as a small 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 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.”
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 set to face competition for Stones from 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 PARTY
Thomas Partey pped the main goal of Arsenal’s move, but Atletico Madrid would maintain his forty-five million pound 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 has confirmed he departure from Chelsea in an emotional open letter.
The 32-year-old Brazilian spent seven seasons at Stamford Bridge without being able to settle for a contract extension.
In a statement he posted on social media, he said: “They were seven wonderful years. In August 2013 when I received the offer from Chelsea, I was convinced that this was where I had 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.
“Every education session, every and every game, every minute I spent in the locker room, I learned.
“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 fans towards the end as results suffered on the pitch, the squad fell apart and he failed to replace leaving stars in the transfer market.
It wasn’t necessarily to try, Wenger was connected to a lot of star names over the years.
However, more often than not, the former Gunners chief missed out – and we’ve compiled a best XI of players he tired and failed to sign.
WIZARD OF OZ
Arsenal would make an effort to secure an agreement with Mesut Ozil to pay the German this summer.
With only one year remaining at Ozil in the Emirates, and the 350,000-euro player consistent with the week is not on Mikel Arteta’s plans, the Mirror said the Gunners were in a position to make a special offer to the player.
They say they’re going to pay him, but they’re also willing to subsidize his salary if he moves to another club.
Arsenal will have to lose cash to achieve its goals.
MAD MOVE?
Arsenal will sell Alexandre Lacazette to Atletico Madrid for £30million if Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang signs a new contract, according to reports.
The Gunners have faced a war to keep up with any of the forwards, but they may be about to waste their number 9.
And according to The Star, Lacazette is ready to sign up on Diego Simeone’s side, but the deal depends on Aubameyang’s future.
The 31-year-old Arsenal captain is out of contract next year and in negotiations to signal an extension.
Its new proposal is planned for 3 years, pocketing 250,000 euros consistent with the week.
But as Mikel Arteta looks at his team, Lacazette can be sold to raise important funds.
Birthday
Look who’s celebrating his birthday today!
Willian would probably be about to leave Chelsea, but the Blues have wanted Arsenal’s starting winger to have a satisfied birthday.

The 31-year-old striker, who reportedly earned a nine-million-pound salary to withdraw his salary of 505,000 euros a week, warned that his new club is more interested in winning something big.
The Chilean striker, who spent this season on loan at the Serie A club, took to social media to aim a parting shot at United.
