Arsenal transfer news LIVE updates
Ramsey update
Juventus director Fabio Paratici has admitted the club are interested in signing Aaron Ramsey.
He said: "Yes, we are interested in Aaron Ramsey, he’s a great midfielder. But at the moment he’s an Arsenal player, we’ll see... “
Ramsey is out of contract in the summer and expected to move on for free then.
Arsenal are keen to sell him this month but are asking for £40m.
Fabregas Arsenal reunion
Ex-Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas could be on his way to Monaco.
The Chelsea ace has struggled under Maurizio Sarri and has featured mainly from the bench.
And now it appears he could be on the way to France.
The Daily Mail claim Thierry Henry wants his former Arsenal team-mate to help him at Monaco.
Navas clue
Keylor Navas has hinted he is leaving Real Madrid after interest from Arsenal.
According to Spanish newspaper Sport, Arsenal and Roma have both contacted Real Madrid about signing Navas.
The Gunners have tabled an offer of £14million for the goalkeeper.
Navas uploaded a picture of himself with Real Madrid fans on Instagram on New Year’s Day with text that translated to: “Thanks for everything!”
Ozil latest
Mesut Ozil has ruled out a January move and will remain with Arsenal for the rest of the season.
That’s according to ESPN who report that Ozil has categorically dismissed any chance of an exit.
Ozil has regularly been left out of Unai Emery’s squads but captained the side against Burnley last month.
He has been linked with a move to Turkey but doesn’t want to give up his £300,000 a week wages.
Ramsey gets nickname
Juventus are close to signing Aaron Ramsey on a pre-contract deal and the Italians already have a nickname for the midfielder.
Ramsey is set to leave Arsenal at the end of the season when his contract expires - unless a club offer £40m for him in January.
Juventus are said to have started negotiations over a contract for the star once his Emirates days are over.
And Tuttosport have branded Ramsey ‘Il Boxing Man’ because he was born on Boxing Day.
Ramsey, 28, has been a regular in Unai Emery’s side this season but was wanting pay parity with Mesut Ozil, who signed a £350,000-a-week contract at the Emirates last year.
Ramsey is reported to be discussing a £112,000-a-week base salary at Juve, with bonuses if he plays a certain number of matches each season.
Messi 'annoyed with Dembele'
Lionel Messi is annoyed about how much game-time Ousmane Dembele has had in recent weeks, according to reports in Spain.
Dembele has been linked with a move away from Barcelona after struggling to settle.
And Diario Gol claim Messi would rather he was playing less - because it would mean Philippe Coutinho would get more chance.
Coutinho has made just nine La Liga starts this term and is struggling to justify his £140m transfer fee.
Nicolas Pepe ready to move
Arsenal target Nicolas Pepe is ready for a ‘beautiful’ move away from Lille.
The winger has been linked with a move following Danny Welbeck’s injury and is keen to make the move.
"For me, that's for sure. As the president has already said, my desire is to finish the season at Lille.
"I am under contract until 2022. My idea is to end this season in Lille and then, why not, leave for somewhere in Europe. It would be beautiful."

Aaron Ramsey latest
Aaron Ramsey is keen on joining Juventus in the summer.
Ramsey is out of contract in the summer and will leave for free unless he agrees a transfer in January.
However Juve are keen to land him at the end of the season and are likely to sign him then rather than this month.
Ramsey has been in and out of Emery’s side this term as talk over a new deal ended earlier in the campaign.
Gary Cahill signing
Arsenal boss Unai Emery says the club have not spoken about signing Chelsea defender Gary Cahill.
Emery was asked about Arsenal's plans in this month's transfer window and if there was any interest in Cahill following their 4-1 win over Fulham.
And the Arsenal boss said: "We didn’t speak about him.
He added: "It depends if the transfer market can help you - only if there are players who can help us in different positions. The club is looking to see."
Juventus want Ramsey NOW
Cengiz Under bid rejected
According to Corriere dello Sport, Arsenal saw a £54m (€60m) bid rejected for Cengiz Under.
Sporting director Monchi used to work with current Arsenal boss Unai Emery at Sevilla and masterminded a number of big moves during his time there.
Emery is keen to strengthen his squad and the Gunners could splash the cash in January.
Under, 21, joined Roma in the summer of 2017 and is a regular in their attack.
He boasts six goals for the current camping and is well under contract in Rome.
