'Pole position' for Milinkovic-Savic
Arsenal are reportedly in 'pole position' to sign Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

Following reports that Juventus were eyeing him as Adrien Rabiot's replacement, Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport has claimed that the Gunners have shown an interest in recent months and sent scouts during the 2-0 win over Verona in September.

Arteta stance on Felix
Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta has reportedly targeted a different La Liga striker to Joao Felix after growing doubts over the Atletico Madrid striker.
According to El Confidencial journalist Kike Marin (via the Daily Express ), Arteta has doubts over Felix and has targeted another La Liga striker.
"According to my information, #Arsenal has sounded out his signing, but Arteta has doubts and prefers another La Liga striker," Marin tweeted.
Arsene Wenger tribute
Arsenal have decided to build a statue in tribute of former manager Arsene Wenger outside the Emirates Stadium, according to the Telegraph. The report claims that the 73-year-old could be immortalised outside the ground as early as next year, following his return to the club to watch them play.
The Frenchman hadn't been back at the north London club since he left back in 2018, with his era being something of a mooted topic in that time.
A statue of Wenger would finally give Wenger his spot at the ground after countless trophies and some of the club's best years during his tenure.
