Ousmane Dembele’s representatives
are encouraging Arsenal to intensify their efforts to sign the Barcelona star,
reports claim.
The Gunners have frequently
been linked with the French international, who is reported to be unsettled by
Malcom’s Nou Camp arrival.
And Arsenal could pick up the
pieces. Spanish radio station Cadena SER are claiming that Dembele’s agents
have been in touch.
They report that Dembele, 21,
is happy to stick with Barcelona but would happily listen to any offers that
arrive before the transfer window closes next week.
In addition to Cadena SER’s
claims, Football London say Arsenal transfer chief Sven Mislintat has been in
touch.
The 45-year-old knows all
about the France international having brokered his move to Borussia Dortmund
from Rennes in 2016.
Whether it is enough for lure
him to Arsenal, though, remains to be seen.
Lucas Torreira debut
Lucas Torreira will make his debut
on Saturday against Lazio, Gunners boss Unai Emery has revealed. Torreira
joined the north London outfit from Sampdoria last month for a fee believed to
be in the region of £26million.
"At the moment I am
very happy with the players who are with here with us,” Emery said last
night when asked if there could be any more new arrivals.
"There are more
coming; Nacho Monreal, Lucas [Torreira] and [Granit] Xhaka will start to play
some minutes on Saturday."
Aubameyang vs Lacazette
Alexandre Lacazette insists
there is no rivalry between him and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as they aim to be
Arsenal’s lead striker.
Last night, Aubameyang started
up front against Chelsea and was replaced by Lacazette in the second half with
the Gunners trailing 1-0.
But with virtually the last
kick of the game, Lacazette equalised to take the game into a penalty
shoot-out.
With Arsenal’s first Premier
League game against Manchester City 10 days away, Emery will need to decide
which system will get the best from Lacazette and Aubameyang.
But Lacazette says there is no
problem between him and Aubameyang and talked up their friendship.
"We know that if we
are together, we can stronger and we just have the same target together, which
is to win something for the club," Lacazette told Arsenal Player.
"So of course we don't have any
problem with each other.”
