Hot Football Transfer Gossip: Wenger 'will stay and sign Mahrez', Zlatan 'scuppers Griezmann deal', Newcastle 'target Morgan'
Arsenal may not be playing today but this is, perhaps, the biggest day of their season. If Liverpool fail to beat West Ham at a revitalised London Stadium, the Gunners’ Champions League destiny will be in their own hands with two games to play.
So OF COURSE Arsene Wenger is staying at the Emirates. Although to be honest, he’ll probably be staying even if Liverpool win.
The Sunday Express reports that the Frenchman has a “huge summer shopping list” and explains that he wouldn’t take the time to draw up such a long list unless he was planning to stick around and purchase the items on it.
Among those items are Leicester’s Riyad Mahrez and Middlesbrough’s Ben Gibson, for whom Wenger is reportedly planning a £55m double swoop. Not the sexiest of signings, but then Wenger stopped being sexy a long time ago (sometime around his 36th birthday, it was).

The Express adds that Arsenal are also targeting “a striker, a left-back and a goalkeeper after seeing their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League will be evaporate”.
Which is a silly thing to write, because as mentioned the Gunners’ top-four hopes have not yet evaporated, and also because there are two extra words in that sentence that shouldn’t be there. The Express is quite a bad newspaper really, isn’t it?
Manchester United have a far sexier signing lined up in Antoine Griezmann, but the Daily Star Sunday claims the transfer has potentially been ruined by Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
A recent revelation by the Football Leaks website that Zlatan earns a ridiculous £367,000 a week has sparked concerns at Old Trafford that Griezmann will demand a similar salary to move to the Red Devils. Chris Smalling will probably be asking for £300,000 a week as well.
United are also “planning for life after David de Gea”, says the Sunday Express, and have identified Jan Oblak and Samir Handanovic as potential replacements for the Real Madrid-bound goalkeeper.
The problem with Oblak is that he has an £85m buyout clause in his contract and Atletico Madrid are demanding it in full, so Inter Milan’s Handanovic seems a more viable option. Liverpool are also said to be interested in the Serbian, but they can forget about that unless they beat West Ham today.
Meanwhile, the Sunday Mirror says the Hammers are attempting to “scare off” the Reds, along with Arsenal and Tottenham, by slapping a “£30m-plus price tag” on their Argentine star Manuel Lanzini. Although in the next sentence, the tabloid refers to the 24-year-old midfielder as a “striker”, so we stopped reading.
After seeing his title-winning team-mates linked with glamorous moves, Leicester captain Wes Morgan is finally getting a piece of the action. The Sun on Sunday reports that newly promoted Newcastle are targeting the 33-year-old Foxes defender. Bit of an anti-climax for Wes there, then.
Elsewhere, Everton have made a £10m bid for Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan Pickford (Sunday Mirror) and agreed personal terms with Malaga striker Sandro (Sunday Times), Bournemouth are planning a £10m move for Liverpool’s “forgotten” 19-year-old full-back Joe Gomez (Sun on Sunday) and Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce will not be given any transfer funds in the summer due to a “cash freeze” at the club (Sunday Telegraph). So it’s lucky that Villa’s squad is already so great.
