Reiss Nelson set to leave
Reiss Nelson is set to leave Arsenal this summer, with the winger close to joining Hoffenheim on a permanent deal.
The 20-year-old has been on loan at the German club for the past two seasons and has impressed, scoring 11 goals in all competitions last season.
Nelson has been at Arsenal since he was eight years old and has made 33 appearances for the club, but it appears his time at the Emirates is coming to an end.
Arsenal lead Osimhen race
Arsenal are said to be leading the race to sign Lille striker Victor Osimhen, with the Nigerian international reportedly keen on a move to the Emirates.
Osimhen has been in impressive form for Lille this season, scoring 18 goals in all competitions, and has attracted interest from a number of top clubs.
However, it appears Arsenal are in pole position to sign the 21-year-old, with the Gunners reportedly ready to meet Lille’s asking price of £54million.
Partey injury concerns
There are concerns over the fitness of Thomas Partey, with the midfielder yet to make his debut for the club due to a thigh injury.
Partey joined Arsenal from Atletico Madrid in a £45million deal last month, but has yet to feature for the Gunners due to the injury.
The Ghana international is expected to be out for a few more weeks, but Arsenal are hopeful he will be fit to face Manchester City on October 17.
