Arsenal maintained their push for a top-four finish with a 2-1 victory over Brentford at the weekend, raising hope ahead of a tough midweek test against Wolves.
The Gunners are seeking to bring an end to numerous years without Champions League involvement, while they missed out entirely on European competition this term.
Mikel Arteta's transfer plans for the summer are likely to be impacted by the outcome of the top-four chase but there's already a wealth of rumours ramping up.
The Mirror states Arsenal have already opened talks with the representatives of Napoli midfielder Fabian Ruiz ahead of a potential summer swoop.
Arteta is in need of midfield reinforcements, particularly with question marks regarding the future of Mohamed Elneny and Granit Xhaka, with Ruiz touted as an option as he will have just one-year remaining on his deal this summer.
The 25-year-old Spaniard is said to be a player that Napoli are open to selling but they have placed a £16m asking price upon him.
Elsewhere, Calcio Mercato states Arsenal remain interested in the services of Alvaro Morata and are set to go toe-to-toe with Barcelona for his signature.
The 29-year-old former Chelsea man was touted for a move to the Emirates Stadium in the January transfer window.
Finally, the Daily Star says Arsenal have admitted defeat in the battle to land highly-rated Fulham sensation Fabio Carvalho.
Liverpool and Manchester United have been attributed with an interest in the 19-year-old, with Arsenal feeling they will miss out.
