Arsenal transfer rumour round-up – Icardi, Gustavo, Isco & Chilwell latest

The Premier League has crowned a new champion in Leicester City this week, which is likely to lead into a hugely active transfer window.

The Foxes will be keen to keep a hold of their impressive crop, but N’Golo Kante and Ben Chilwell are believed to be likely departures.

The young defender is now claimed to have told his club that he wants to join Liverpool this summer, which will come as a blow to Arsenal, who tried to sign him during the previous window.

Another target is said to be slipping away also, with Jose Mourinho claimed to have first dibs on talking to Isco this summer. The Real Madrid midfielder is linked with the exit door, but I’m hoping that he would much rather Champions League football over a reuniting with his former Portuguese boss…

One former target who is believed to be on the move is Luiz Gustavo, who we are said to have tried to sign in 2013. The Brazilian is believed to be keen on an exit, and may well be offered the chance another chance to join our beloved club.

Mauro Icardi is also tipped to head for the exit door in the coming window, although the Inter Milan captain has previously ruled out such a move. Chelsea, Liverpool and Man United are also believed to be keen on his signature, but Arsene Wenger is believed to be a fan of the star.

We know that we need a new striker, and there are very few top quality strikers out there, and I’m not overly sure that the Argentine forward would be able to fulfil his potential in the Premier League.

I don’t think Icardi will leave regardless, and don’t actually believe we will land any of these players. Isco would be a nice addition but should we take Ozil, Sanchez or Iwobi out the starting line-up for him?
