Arsenal news: Edu finds £50m Granit Xhaka replacement amid Erling Haaland transfer message


Here is your Arsenal morning roundup on Monday, June 5.

Dream Xhaka replacement found

Edu may have discovered the perfect replacement for Granit Xhaka to give to Mikel Arteta in the summer transfer window.

Xhaka scoring on nine occasions from midfield this season means his replacement must also have a keen eye for the back of the net and it looks as though Edu could have found a perfect replacement.

Haaland transfer message

Arsenal have been told one of their striking targets who could be on the move this summer is close to the level of Erling Haaland.

Guardiola verdict on Gundogan

Pep Guardiola has further expressed his desire at wanting Ilkay Gundogan to stay at Manchester City beyond the end of his current contract which expires at the end of June.

He said in his press conference, as relayed on Hayters TV: “He knows what I think. Maybe someone of you know, we are neighbours, we live on the same floor. For many years, he’s a close friend of mine."
