Arsenal transfer news: could Spurs star Son Heung-min become a Gunner?

Tottenham’s South Korean forward Son is
also a target for Man Utd and Liverpool

One-Minute Read

The Gunners have reportedly jumped the queue for the services of
the 25-year-old, whose goal against Germany yesterday sealed one of
the biggest shocks in World Cup history.

Manchester United and Liverpool are also interested in Son
but apparently the Gunners are determined to lure him across north
London.

The Star says that Son’s Tottenham future is “in some
doubt as he looks to take his career to the next level”, but if
Arsenal are to get their man it will cost them around
£62m. 

Golovin won’t be a Gunner

Tough luck, Arsenal, but Aleksandr Golovin won’t succumb
to the advances of Unai Emery because “his heart is set on a move
to Juventus”. So claims talkSPORT, which cites its source as the
Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport.

Apparently Arsenal, along with Manchester United and
Chelsea, have been tracking the Russian winger after his
eye-catching performances in the World Cup.

CSKA Moscow have let it be known they’re open to offers,
but only in the region of £26m.

Juventus’ latest offer is £17m plus a 10% sell-on clause,
and while that’s not good enough for CSKA it’s believed they will
meet the asking price such is their desire to land 22-year-old
Golovin.

A new Spanish blocker?

Real Betis left-back Junior Firpo is the latest defender to be
linked to the Emirates with Caughtoffside quoting a report in Spanish daily
AS about the possible move.

Unai Emery has been scouring Spain this summer for
youngsters he believes can help rejuvenate the Gunners and
22-year-old Firpo fits the bill.

Highly-regarded by Real Betis, the youngster is
comfortable as a left-sided full-back or on the left side of
midfield, and AS claim that his £22m release clause poses no
problem to the north London outfit.

Nacho Monreal and Sead Kolasinac have appeared at left
wing-back in recent months but the latter hasn’t impressed and
Caughtoffside says that Emery is “looking to replace the Bosnian in
that position”.
