Benjamin Pavard move, Thomas Partey bid, Folarin Balogun exit

Arsenal have less than two weeks left to make moves in the summer transfer window.

The Gunners have already recruited Kai Havertz, Jurrien Timber and Declan Rice on permanent deals whilst David Raya has also joined on a season-long loan with an option to buy. Sporting director Edu’s current priority is to sanction exits but the injury to Timber may have altered those plans.

The likes of Joao Cancelo, Ivan Fresneda and Mohamed Simakan have all been mooted as potential options although Barcelona star Jules Kounde has now emerged as a possible option for the north Londoners. Benjamin Pavard of Bayern Munich is another one that has been linked, although Arsenal may have to beat Manchester United in the transfer race.

Elsewhere, striker Folarin Balogun may be heading out the Emirates Stadium exit door amid interest from Ligue 1 outfit Monaco.
