Arsenal transfer news: Lacazette wanted in Spain, plus latest on Zaha and Ajax star Ziyech

Arsenal transfer news: Lacazette wanted in Spain, plus latest on Zaha and Ajax star Ziyech

Arsenal have had a disappointing season, but they have one last chance to make it a slightly better one.


It promises to be an exciting summer at the Emirates, but only if the Gunners win the Europa League, which in turn will guarantee them Champions League football.

Unai Emery’s side face Chelsea in Baku on 29 May and will be desperate to strengthen his side having finished fifth in the Premier League.


However, with another season in Europe’s secondary competition a possibility, expectations on the calibre of players being signed will have to be considerably reduced.











Arsenal are already losing Petr Cech, Danny Welbeck and Aaron Ramsey at the end of the season as their contracts expire, with the latter agreeing a lucrative deal with Juventus.


There have also been reports claiming Mesut Ozil, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Shkodran Mustafi will be sold this summer, with Emery hoping to bring in five new players as part of a major rebuild of the Gunners’ first-team squad.


Transfer budget


According to journalist David Ornstein, Arsenal will have a lowly £40million summer transfer budget if they are playing in the Europa League next season, whereas it will be ‘significantly’ higher should they qualify for the Champions League.


This budget can of course increase through player sales, though it is almost impossible to sign an above average player for under £50million – let alone any individual considered among the elite.

Wilfried Zaha


Arsenal are preparing a £40million bid to sign Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha, according to reports.


But the Eagles’ £80million asking price could end the Gunners’ pursuit.


The Gunners, though, could offer Callum Chambers, Carl Jenkinson or Reiss Nelson as part of any potential deal for the Ivory Coast international.

Alexandre Lacazette


Atletico Madrid have identified Lacazette as their prime target to replace Antoine Griezmann, according to reports.


Barcelona have been linked with the forward but the Madrid outfit are considering a bid to prise the forward away from London.


According to French outlet Le 10 Sport, Arsenal have reportedly had an approach from the LaLiga club over a deal for Lacazette.

Hakim Ziyech


As talkSPORT.com reported, Arsenal look set to pip Manchester United to the signing of Ziyech this summer and the winger will cost just £25million.


The Morocco international has previously insisted it is his ‘dream’ to play for the Gunners and quotes Mesut Ozil as his hero.


Ziyech enjoyed a fantastic season at Ajax where he helped Erik ten Hag’s side lift the Eredivisie trophy and the KNVB Cup, while he also won the club’s Player of the Year award thanks largely to his 21 goals and 24 assists in 49 games across all competitions.

Virgil van Dijk: The personal heartache driving Liverpool’s £75million man to Premier League title

Virgil van Dijk decided against wearing his father’s surname after a bitter family feud aged 12, according to reports.


Close relatives of the Liverpool defender claim he has never forgiven his father for walking out on mother, Hellen.

As a result, the Netherlands captain has worn’ Virgil’ on the back of his shirt since turning professional with Groningen back in 2011.


Van Dijk’s uncle Steven Fo Sieeuw divulged some of the details behind the feud to The Sun on Sunday back in 2018 after his record-breaking move from Southampton.


He said: “Virgil has done amazingly well to be such a success given the ups and downs there have been in his family.


“His dad split with his mother and his three children, including Virgil, found it hard to forgive him for that.

“The truth is his dad was not around for so many important years and it is his mother who is the real hero of this story.


“You don’t take your dad’s name off your shirt without a reason and Virgil has made it very clear how he feels.”


The 27-year-old’s father, Ron, took the youngster to training and matches with youth football team WDS’19.


However, Fo Sieeuw insists it was his mother who had the greatest impact on the centre-half’s progression to the very top.

“She had a full-time job and three kids to look after, so she never had a minute for herself,” he added.


“She spent every day going to work then coming home and looking after the kids and doing all the cooking.


“Ron is a nice guy but you need to be more than that to be a good father. You have to be there for your children.


“Ron married again and his new wife was very domineering so he didn’t see his kids much.

“I feel for Virgil, it’s like he’s been caught in the middle.”


Van Dijk’s personal life was thrown into turmoil when his parents split up when he was just 12.


Talking about that difficult time, he told Dutch journalist Jan Mennega in 2011: “I first lived with him [dad] for a while and after that I chose to go back with my mother.


“At that time my brother and sister already lived with her. Then I broke all contact with my dad.















“At the beginning it wasn’t nice but I don’t need him any more. My father tried to re-establish contact but I don’t want to see him.


“When I get older maybe I will talk to him again, but at this moment I don’t have any feeling for him.”


He added his businessman brother Jordan, 24, and sister Jennifer, 16, also dropped Van Dijk as a surname and started using their mother’s maiden name, Fo Sieeuw.




Virgil van Dijk (Dutch pronunciation: [vɑn ˈdɛik]; born 8 July 1991), is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for English Premier League club Liverpool and captains the Netherlands national team.

Oleksander Zinchenko maintains incredible record to help Manchester City win the Premier League

Oleksander Zinchenko is an unlikely Manchester City record holder.


As City retained their Premier League crown with a 4-1 win against Brighton, the 22-year-old midfielder maintained a streak that has seen him win EVERY one of the games he has played in.




Oleksander Zinchenko has not lost in the league at Man City

Oleksander Zinchenko has not lost in the league at Man City


The Ukraine international played the full 90 minutes at the Amex Stadium where goals from Sergio Aguero Aymeric Laporte, Riyad Mahrez and Ilkay Gundogan sealed victory.


And of those who have appeared in five or more games, Zinchenko has a 100 per cent record.


In fact, it was his 22nd Premier League match without defeat and he has proven to be a solid acquisition after being drafted in to provide cover for Benjamin Mendy and Fabian Delph.











He arrived from Ukraine Premier League side Ufa in 2016, but was loaned out to PSV and Jong PSV before making his debut in the Carabao Cup against Wolves in October 2017.


Zinchenko – and possibly a few fans – will hope he is in the starting XI when City travel to Wembley to take on Watford in the FA Cup final.
