Arsenal have passed up on the opportunity to sign Victor Nelsson from Galatasaray

Arsenal have passed up on the opportunity to sign Victor Nelsson from Galatasaray. The Danish defender had been touted as a possible replacement for Jurrien Timber, who is set to spend the majority of his first Gunners season sidelined by injury.

24yo was offered to #AFC during recent transfer talks. Nelsson has a £21m release clause but Gunners looking at alternatives.

Mikel Arteta will have been encouraged by Timber's potential impact after a solid performance at left-back in the Community Shield earlier this month. The versatile Dutchman can play across the back-line, although supporters were not given long to enjoy his talent.

Suffering a devastating ACL injury against Nottingham Forest is set to keep Timber out of action for the foreseeable future. Exit-linked Rob Holding could deplete Arteta's defensive options even further if he leaves before Friday's deadline.

The 24-year-old has been strongly linked with a move away from Turkey in recent months, with Tottenham and Nottingham Forest each expressing interest.

Arsenal: William Saliba already two step ahead of Mavropanos

Everyone can’t wait to see what William Saliba can be at Arsenal and, on the bright side, he’s already ahead of Konstantinos Mavropanos. Arsenal ‘s defense is going to look so damn good next season it’s gonna be mental. I know I gush about it a lot, but Mikel Arteta has worked literal magic in turning David Luiz and Shkodran Mustafi into a defense that doesn’t give up a crapton of goals per match. In fact, they give up less than a goal a game. Combined. Two of the biggest defensive “clowns” out there. United in sturdiness. Next season, we’ll be starting with fresh faces and the same defensive philosophy that Arteta has already used to rejuvenate a dead defense. Namely, William Saliba, who has joined the club from Saint-Etienne and is looking to get his footing in the starting XI. Saliba can be what Arsenal wanted Mavropanos to be Saliba isn’t the first young defender ticketed for big things, however. It was just a few years back that Konstantinos Mavropanos made ...

Arsenal fans go crazy over Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang contract talks

Striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been offered a contract extension by Arsenal, according to a report by French publication L'Equipe . The Gabon international, who sealed a move to the Emirates Stadium from Borussia Dortmund back in January 2018, is out-of-contract in North London at the end of the 2020/21 campaign, with speculation mounting about his future. It is no secret that the Gunners are desperate to retain Aubameyang's services, as he has proven to be their star man over the past couple of years, particularly this season, as he has notched 20 goals in 32 appearances across all competitions. But with Arsenal still some way off from competing for the Premier League title and showing no signs of gaining qualification for the Champions League anytime soon, the striker, who turns 31 later this month, could be open to a move elsewhere. Should the striker fail to put pen to paper on a new deal before he enters the final six months of his current contract he could leav...
