Folarin Balogun transfer stance

Inter Milan are continuing to pursue a move for Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun this summer as reports claim that the Serie A side have prepared a deal in the £30million region. However, according to Sky Sports News, the Gunners currently value the USMNT international at £50million.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta insisted on Monday that Balogun would be given a chance in pre-season before a final decision is made on his future.

Nicolas Pepe transfer exit update

CBS Sports claims that a mid-table Saudi Pro League side have made the opening steps towards sealing a move for Arsenal winger Nicolas Pepe this summer. The Ivorian international has been linked with an exit from the Gunners as he enters the final 12-months of his contract with the club.

football.london understands that the Gunners are willing to accept a small fee or even take drastic measures such as terminating the contract of Pepe to complete an exit.

Gremio club president, Alberto Guerra, has addressed rumours that Arsenal have made an offer for midfielder Bitello in the summer transfer window. He said said via Sport Witness: “There are a lot of people watching Bitello, but there is no proposal, even to reassure our fans, at the moment.”
