Gunners prepare Morgan Rogers BID, talks 'continue' for Alvarez, Tzolis to have MEDICAL

Lupinski signs pro deal

Arsenal academy ace Remi Lupinski has signed his first professional contract for the club.

The 17-year-old goalkeeper joined the Gunners’ academy from MK Dons last season but has now put pen to paper on a pro deal.

The Polish stopper, who hopes to follow in the footsteps of compatriots Wojciech Szczesny and Lukasz Fabianski, said: “It feels amazing, a very proud day for me and my family.

“It’s another milestone reached and I can’t wait for the season to begin.

“It was definitely difficult for the first couple of months, but when I settled into the changing room, the performances were coming on pitch as well, so it’s been brilliant. All the coaches have been brilliant.

“We have a talented group. [The experience] is very valuable. I took a lot of lessons from every single game, and hopefully I will get more minutes this season.”

Lupinski made ten Premier League 2 appearances for Arsenal Under-18s last season, keeping two clean sheets.

Gyokeres role in Alvarez deal

Arsenal are reportedly exploring the possibility of offering Viktor Gyokeres in a swap deal for Julian Alvarez.

TalkSPORT have claimed that the Swede could be used in an attempt to convince Atletico Madrid into a transfer.

Atletico are interested in the former Sporting Lisbon star but the Gunners are not completely sure of parting with him.

Arsenal join Kone race

Arsenal and Chelsea have reportedly been keeping tabs on Manchester United target Manu Kone.

Big clubs are now queuing up for the Frenchman after his impressive showings at the World Cup.

According to Football Italia, the Giallorossi are “actively working” to sell Kone for a fee in excess of £50million.

That price tag has no doubt been boosted by his four World Cup starts ahead of players like Aurelien Tchouameni and N’Golo Kante.
