Arsenal transfer news: Declan Rice timeline revealed as Mikel Arteta given Ilkay Gundogan hope

Here is your Arsenal morning transfer roundup on Monday, June 12.

Declan Rice timeline

Arsenal are set to make advances on a transfer deal to sign Declan Rice in the coming week, according to a report from Fabrizio Romano. Some positive talks in the previous days have helped advance a move forward, with the Gunners set to make their official bid for the West Ham midfielder.

Gundogan transfer hope

Arsenal academy manager Per Mertesacker has given hope that his side could sign Ilkay Gundogan during the summer transfer window as his Manchester City contract reaches the final weeks. Speaking as a pundit for German broadcaster ZDF, via Metro, Mertesacker said City's Champions League final victory could convince his compatriot to leave Manchester. "To say, okay, mission accomplished. I think the clubs are queuing. Because Arteta knows him and we probably haven’t broken off contact, we’re in a good position. I think he’ll let it all sink in first and then choose from one of the four clubs."

Castagne talks

Arsenal have opened talks with Leicester City over a move for full-back Timothy Castagne this summer, per reports from journalist Sacha Tavolieri. The Belgian international could be available at a cut price following the Foxes' relegation, but currently sits as the second choice for the Gunners behind Ivan Fresneda.
