So with all that in mind, football.london has rounded up all the latest transfer chatter regarding Arsenal below.

Abraham interest
Another striker that has now been linked with Arsenal is AS Roma centre-forward Tammy Abraham, La Repubblica, via RomaPress, claiming that the Gunners and Manchester United are both monitoring the England international's situation in the Italian capital. Abraham enjoyed a stellar 2021/22 campaign with the Serie A giants, bagging 27 goals across all competitions as Roma won the inaugural edition of the UEFA European Conference League.
Abraham's old comments also suggest that he would be open to making the move to the Emirates Stadium if the north Londoners decided to make a move for his services. Speaking about his childhood to Eurosport in 2017, he said: "To be honest I was an Arsenal fan.
"When you’re young and you choose who to support, if it’s a family thing, it’s a family thing. Luckily for me, it was a family thing, so it wasn’t really a problem at Chelsea.
"Someone I looked up to was Thierry Henry. His variations of finishing, his movement, the way he dribbles.
"Someone like that has a key impact on me. I would love to be as big as him and maybe even better."
Mudryk latest
Ukrainian football agent Igor Kryvenko has warned the Gunners that Shakhtar will not look at the situation involving Mudryk “realistically”. Speaking about the chances of the 22-year-old leaving the Ukrainian club in January, Kryvenko told Footboom : “Minimal.
“Shakhtar won’t let Mudryk go for the money they are currently offering. €100m (£88m) is an inadequate price. A player from the Ukrainian championship cannot cost more than, for example, a player from the Netherlands.
"You have to look at things realistically. There is a market value, and Shakhtar seem to be taking figures from the ceiling.
"The guy [Mudryk] is in the ‘golden cage’. I know for sure that in the summer, Brentford offered good money for Mudryk, but the Donetsk team refused.
"It seems as if they want to reflect on their talent and everything that they lost in the past failed transfers.”
Felix talks
Transfer guru Dharmesh Sheth has claimed that positive talks have taken place between Atletico and Arsenal regarding the aforementioned Felix. Speaking about the Portuguese talent on the Transfer Talk Podcast, Sheth said: “We’re told that positive talks are continuing between Arsenal and Atletico Madrid over the loan signing of Felix, but this is where it gets difficult.
"Atletico want around £19m for that six-month loan deal, that’s a loan deal and the wages. Arsenal feel that is way too much for a six-month loan, but if you take away the figures for a moment, I think for both clubs this deal would work."
