Unai Emery is keen to sign over Premier League superstar.

Arsenal’s new manager Unai Emery is keen to sign over their star for long term deal.

Unai Emery hoping to commit much of summer budget on securing Aaron Ramsey’s Arsenal future.

Arsenal are working on deals to add needed experience and reinforcement to their defence.

The Gunners have already signed Juventus right-back Stephan Lichsteiner and is closer tahn ever to signing to signing Borussia Dortmund centre-back Sokratis Papastathopoulos.

The London giants’ strategy will be largely framed by the Ramsey negotiations.

Arsenal’s transfer spending this summer is limited and, while major funds could be raised by selling Ramsey.

The clear preference is for him is to commit all of his career to the club.

If Ramsey would like to stay and signs a new deal.

He will be encouraged by Emery’s willingness to make him such an important part of his team.

But the main question is whether The Gunners could hope to find a quality replacement for Ramsey should he leave, especially as him being in the final year of his contract may impact on his transfer value.

The Gunners have completed their first summer signing.

Arsenal have completed their first signing under Unai Emery with the arrival of Swiss international Stephan Lichtsteiner.

Lichtsteiner decided to join the English giants, after running down his contract with Juventus.
The Turin club let the veteran leave for free, despite of having a reputation for signing players for free instead of selling.
Lichtsteiner won the Serie A title in each of his seven seasons with Juventus and picked up a handful of domestic trophies throughout his journey.
The Swiss will now start a new chapter with the London outfit.

Lichtsteiner will wear the number 12 shirt and is expected to compete with Hector Bellerin for the right back position.

Arsenal’s newly appointed manager Unai Emery seemed very happy to talk about his first signing.

Unai Emery said: “Stephan brings huge experience and leadership to our squad.

Aaron Ramsey hints at Arsenal stay

The Gunners to make a shock move for Premier League superstar.

Arsenal have reportedly launched a shock move to sign Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini.

The Belgian superstar has already rejected two contract offers to remain at Old Trafford.

The Prospect of Fellaini signing for the Gunners would have seemed unthinkable under former manager Arsene Wenger.

Arsenal’s way of football doesn’t suit his age and playing style, but under new manager Unai Emery things could be different.

The new Gunners boss had been keen to sign the Belgium international when he was Paris Saint Germain manager itself.

His representatives are due to meet with club officials this week.

The fact he is available on a free transfer is also attractive to Arsenal.

Since Emery will be given transfer budget of just £70m this summer after spending heavily in the last two transfer windows.

If Arsenal manage to pull off the deal for the Belgian superstar, things could get very interesting.

It remains to be seen whether the club will move make a move for Fellaini before the World Cup.

Arsene Wenger says he has 15 days to decide his future.

Wenger has stepped down as Arsenal manager after 22 legendary years at the helm.

Even after three weeks after his final game in charge of Arsenal but Arsène Wenger is still unsure on what to do next.

The Frenchman insisted he would not go into retirement.

Whether or not that means he continues his life as a manager remains to be seen.

In a recent interview with Telefoot, Wenger revealed:

“Do I still want to coach? That’s the question I have to answer in the next fifteen days.”

“Today I still want to coach, but I do not know if I want to embark on a new crazy challenge because football requires total commitment, I to take a little step back, which I have never done.

“I have to see how I’m going to live without the adrenaline of matches, without leading and without sharing emotions with others.”

Arsenal make enquiry for Bundesliga star

Arsenal make enquiry to sign Bundesliga’s highly rated defender Benjamin Pavard.

The Gunners are now being linked with a move for French defender Benjamin Pavard.

English giants were recently linked with Caglar Soyuncu – who is very similar to Ben Pavard.

Benjamin Pavard joined the spotlight a few years ago and now he is currently plying his trade in the Bundesliga at Stuttgart.

The 22-year-old played every minute of Stuttgart’s league campaign last season.

After an injury to Arsenal’s Laurent Koscielny, Pavard was named in an extremely strong French squad for the upcoming World Cup.

Pavard could just may well replace Koscielny at Arsenal as well. But the young centre back is highly rated across Europe and will reportedly cost in the same kind of region as Soyuncu, £30-40 million.

According to L’Equipe, the London club made an enquiry about landing Pavard earlier this year, with the club on the hunt for defensive reinforcements ahead of the 2018/19 campaign.

Vardy broke a record when he scored in 11 consecutive Premier League matches in Leicester’s Premier League title winning campaign in 2015/16.

Arsenal came calling after that season and Arsene Wenger reportedly triggered the Englishman’s release clause which was £22 million. But Vardy rejected the chance to join Arsenal and chose to stay at Leicester City instead.

Vincent Kompany is one of the best centre-backs on the planet on his day. The problem is, he’s been mostly injured for the past three years.

Kompany broke through into Belgian team Anderlecht at just 17-years-old. From there, it was obvious he was going to be a top defender. So Arsene Wenger came calling when it was obvious Arsenal needed a good defender. But Kompany decided it wasn’t the right time to join a top club as he felt it may halt his progress. So the 20-year-old joined Bundesliga club Hamburg instead.

Kompany went on to join Manchester City in 2008 and became a legend for them as they started their journey to Premier League dominance.

Luis Suarez came to prominence after joining Liverpool in 2011. The Uruguayan scored an astonishing 31 goals in the Premier League in 2013/14 which equaled the Premier League record.

However, after the previous season in 2012/13, it was apparent that Suarez was unhappy with Liverpool’s inability to win trophies. Arsenal were interested in him and Wenger decided to make a perplexing bid of £40,000,001 to land him. Liverpool players such as Steven Gerrard persuaded Suarez to stay at Liverpool which in hindsight was a good decision.

Suarez went on to join Barcelona after the 2013/14 season and is now one of the best strikers in the planet.

However, he could have joined Arsenal back in 2000. After playing well for his hometown club Malmo in 1999 scoring goals, many top clubs were interested in him.

Wenger reportedly invited Zlatan to see him in North London and even offered the Swede the number nine shirt. But when Wenger asked Zlatan to partake in a trial at the club, Zlatan was offended and outraged. The Swede famously stated “Zlatan does not do auditions”.

Unai Emery targets highly rated Portuguese prospect named Gelson Martins.

Newly appointed Arsenal manager Unai Emery wants Sporting CP star Gelson Martins as part of their squad overhaul.

Martins finished with 13 goals and 13 assists in all competitions after a chaotic 2017-18 campaign for Sporting CP.

His performances are attracting interest from all over Europe and so the club president Bruno de Carvalho backed away from a plan to threaten to suspend 19 members of the first-team squad in April.

Reports also suggest that Sporting CP legendary goalkeeper Rui Patricio has terminated his contract with the Portuguese giants.

In this situation Sporting would hate to see a star player like Gelson Martins leave.

But, when a club Arsenal comes calling it might seem impossible to hold of best players.
