What are the odds of Hellas Verona midfielder Jorginho joining Arsenal? {Ed002's Note - Chelsea spoke to Verona about buying Jorginho and loaning him back for a year but he will be very much a squad type player. Inter Milan, AC Milan, Manchester City and Crystal Palace have also enquired, but like Chelsea, would only see him as a squad player. Liverpool seemed to be keeping a watching brief, rather like that of Fiorentina, but no formal approach or offers have been made. There is unconfirmed interest from Arsenal.}

Ed, what is happening with Blaise Matuidi, is going to sign a new contract with PSG? is there any chance of a move to Arsenal? {Ed002's Note - Juventus, Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid would like to take Matuidi for free when his contract expires at the end of June 2014 - but I suspect a new deal will be signed once his old and new agent stop bickering.}

Ed you said arsenal spoke with gundogan's agent, could that be a reason for him not signing a new deal?
Also what are the chances of arsenal signing benzema and konoplayanka (spelling), of whom you said arsenal are likely to go for in January.
THANKS {Ed002's Note - (1) No, I would not think Arsenal is in his thoughts at all. (2) Arsenal has a serious interest in Benzema and I expect will make a push for him when he becomes available. Real Madrid will be looking to replace him in January if possible. (3) Konoplyanka was subject to two significant offers this past summer - from Galatasaray and Zenit - both of which were turned down. I expect to see Arsenal make a bid in January, and possibly Manchester United. Schalke and Dortmund may also to look to the player.

I am not going to try and quantify the chances of these players actually joining.}

Good stuff ed

1. I'm ok w not getting Gundogan, esp when you see Rambo this season

We need more of a Pogba or Matuidi

2. Awesome news on Kono

My Ukrainian buddy thinks I'm just being nice when I say Kono is the real deal. I'd love to see him do it at Arsenal. Wouldn't that be something!

Cheers
