10:00 CEST: Arsenal's transfer plans
Mikel Arteta is looking to reshape his Arsenal squad after a difficult campaign in 2020/21, so following the return of Dani Ceballos and Martin Odegaard to Real Madrid, coupled with the imminent sale of Granit Xhaka to Roma, he is targeting additions in midfield.
Reports in England claim that there are three players on Arteta's wish list - Sassuolo's Manuel Locatelli, Wolves' Ruben Neves, Lyon's Houssem Aouar and Leicester City's James Maddison. Any deal involving Aouar could see Alexandre Lacazette, who is entering the last year of his contract, return to his former club.
Hector Bellerin is another player tipped to leave the Emirates Stadium this summer, with La Gazzetta dello Sport claiming that the Arsenal right-back is in talks with Inter.
