Arsenal transfer news latest: Wilfried Zaha, Kieran Tierney, Lucas Torreira, Presnel Kimpembe, William Saliba and more

Arsenal's hopes of signing Wilfried Zaha this summer have been given a boost.

Unai Emery is keen to overhaul his squad this summer with the Crystal Palace winger one of his top targets.

The BBC report that Zaha is keen to leave Selhurst Park this summer with the Emirates his preferred destination.

Palace's £80m valuation would likely mean Arsenal would be forced to sell before they could buy, however.

The Gunners' pursuit of Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney has seen the north London club return with an improved offer of £18m, according to The Telegraph.

The bid is still some way off of Celtic’s £25m valuation for the Scottish international, who has four years remaining on his current contract, leaving the Scottish Premiership champions holding all the cards.

The BBC report that negotiations are ongoing with optimism abound that deal will eventually be struck.

The Gunners have also reportedly won the race to sign Saint-Etienne centre-half William Saliba for €25m, according to ESPNFC.

Emery is in the market for a centre back and is a fan of the 18-year-old.

Andy move would see him loaned back to the Ligue 1 club for the 2019/20 season.

However, Gianluca Di Marzio has claimed that Arsenal have turned their attentions to Torino’s 27-year-old defender Armando Izzo and are ready to submit a €25m in the coming days.

Presnel Kimpembe of PSG and Samuel Umtiti of Barcelona have both emerged as possible targets, according to reports, but the hefty price tags could force the Gunners to look elsewhere.

After spending only one season at the Emirates, Lucas Torreira could be on his way back to Italy with AC Milan.

The San Siro club, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, are willing to offer midfielder Franck Kessie and full-back Ricardo Rodriguez in exchange for the Uruguayan international.

Torreira joined Arsenal in a £26m move from Sampdoria last summer and is said to prefer a move back to Italy.

Arsenal are reluctant to sanction a move and would expect a big profit on their previous outlay.
