Arsenal news: Mikel Arteta suffers double transfer blow as Erling Haaland rubs it in

Arsenal are still at the top of the tree in the Premier League, but it feels like the title is beginning to slowly slip out of their grasp.

Mikel Arteta could only watch on in anguish as struggling Southampton surged into a 2-0 lead at the Emirates on Friday night. And although the Gunners battled back to pinch a share of the spoils in an enthralling 3-3 draw, their failure to claim all three points has opened the door for Manchester City, who are now just five points behind them with two games in hand.

One of those matches will be played on Wednesday, when the two sides will meet in a clash at the Etihad which will have major title implications. Ahead of that showdown, Mirror Football rounds up all the latest news from in and around the Emirates...

Arteta suffers transfer blow

Arsenal transfer target Moises Caicedo has hinted that he has changed his tune after over a potential move to the Emirates - just months after trying to force through a move to the Gunners.

Caicedo was one of Mikel Arteta's top targets in the January transfer window, however, Arsenal were unable to strike a deal with Brighton for the highly-rated midfielder's services.

Arsenal were expected to rekindle their interest in Caicedo in the summer, but the Seagulls star has now said that his "biggest dream" is to join Real Madrid.

The Blues academy graduate is currently in a contract stand-off with the Londoners, which has put a host of elite clubs - including Arsenal - on alert ahead of the summer transfer window.

Chelsea are expected to move players on in the summer to raise funds, meaning Mount could be given the green light to leave if an agreement can't be reached over a new deal. But in a blow to the Gunners, the England star has been told he should join Liverpool if he decides to leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the season.
