Hi Ed is there a certain striker that arsenal are really going all out for in the summer and do we have any chance of getting him if we are, thanks ed have a great weekend.

{Ed002's Note - No.}

Thanks ed have a great day.

Ed002 and I were having a pint the other day and he told me Mbappé is coming. Because he's on a cheap we can get him.

Then I drove home in my brand new Ferrari to my country estate.

RG, is that you? 🤣.

Hi Eds,

do you know of any players who will become free agents in the summer that we have interest in? Quite a decent list of freebies i'd definitely look towards for squad depth

Cheers.

{Ed002's Note - There has been Arsenal interest in Andre Onana, Sergi Roberto and Noussair Mazraoui but none will be joining the club.}

Hi Ed do arsenal have any interest in Moussa diaby of BL of Germany thanks ed have a great day.

{Ed002's Note - Moussa Diaby (LW/RW) Bayer Leverkusen were approached about the player by Borussia Dortmund last season but no more than that. They have no interest in selling unless a very significant offer of perhaps €80M were made. Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Real Madrid have sent scouts but each have other targets. Newcastle are also interested but a move there would be a regression and I am sure being in the Champions League would be a consideration.}

Thanks ed have a nice day.

Edoo2 is there any chance Elneny will sign a new contract?

Or has that ship sailed.

{Ed002's Note - Mohamed Elneny (DM) another Free Agent. Will be allowed to move on with Fenerbahce and Galatasary keen. He is far from a regular starter and needs to find somewhere new to get his career back on track. The player has said he would like to stay but the powers that be have not, as far as I know offered a new deal.}

08 May 2022 15:46:26
Shame. El neny is a fantastic squad player with a brilliant attitude to not being a "1st 11 player" as far as I can tell.

Good Afternoon Ed,

I am seeing lots of reports regarding Aaron Hickey with Arsenal supposedly keen on a move in the summer.

Do you know if Arsenal have any interest in the player?

Thank you.

{Ed002's Note - Aaron Hickey (LB) Hearts youngster who moved to Bologna after attracting agreat deal of interest from the Premier League but is no longer of an age where he could become Home Grown in England. But he could in Italy. Napoli are very keen to take him to replace Faouzi Ghoulam. I am not aware of any approach by Arsenal and would doubt the player would want to join the club as cover for someone else.}

03 May 2022 15:40:34
Excellent, thanks Ed.

05 May 2022 16:11:00
Cover for Tierney means he should play most of the season.

I'm reafong jesus from man City is very close hope these reports are true.

Hi Ed,

I asked this question a few months ago, and you obliged me with an answer. Curious if things have changed given recent performances.

Which of the lads on loan have a future with the club (thinking of Nelson specifically) ?

Thanks!

{Ed002's Note - Something like this:
Alex Runarsson (G) available - may stay in Belgium.
Hector Bellerin (RB) Loan to permanent.
William Saliba (CB) Marseille want a permanent deal. Player wants out and has made it clear publicly that he wants to stay in Marseille. Arsenal want to keep him and his agent says he will stay but is seeking some assurances from the club but they have yet to make a decision over the player. Atletico offer an option.
Pablo Mari (CB) Has made it clear he wants to be playing. An initial loan to Udinese may be made permanent.
Konstantinos Mavropanos (CB) Loan to permanent with Stuttgart or an escape route from Arsenal to Dortmund.
Matteo Guendouzi (DM/CM) Marseille has an obligation to buy the player when a couple of conditions have been met. They may well have the opportunity to sell him on immediately, but are not looking to do that. Player has made clear that he will not return to Arsenal.
Lucas Torreira (DM) Fiorentina will keep him at the right price.
Ainsley Maitland-Niles (RM/RWB) looking for more playing time. Arsenal will try to keep him. Roma will not take up their option. Southampton and Newcastle may offer options.
Reiss Nelson (RW/AM) May look to run down his contract. Arsenal don't have space for him in the first team.}

Thanks Ed, very appreciated!

01 May 2022 19:02:22
Thabks Ed002 great inisght. Are there any changes in the interest shown for incomings in the summer? I know a lot depends on where we finish but could you tell us where our interests have been shown? Players like the Udinnesse RB Molina, Jesus, Rashford, Tammy Abraham, Victori Osimhen mentioned amongst other.

Thanks in advance. Love your work

#COYG.

{Ed002's Note - I expect changes to the targets if Arsenal don't qualify for the Champions League.}

01 May 2022 19:20:46
Thanks for the quick reply, from the previous list thatnyou provided, any other new players where we are showing interest? Even Aurelien Tchouameni amongst mentioned too.

{Ed002's Note - With a no.}

29 Apr 2022 10:25:23
Hi Ed hope all is well, are Barcelona willing to sell de jong and if so do arsenal have any interest, thanks ed have a great weekend 😊.

{Ed002's Note - Barcelona don't want to sell although if a significant offer (perhaps €90M) were made their financial situation would mean they would have to consider it. He certainly won't be moving to Arsenal.}
