Arsenal News Show:Sesko 14th June deadline - Smith-Rowe & Kiwior LEAVING - Mikayil Faye BID!

People Deluded, I'm back again. One love for tuning in. Allegedly, Smithrow and Kirio are closer to leaving Arsenal Football Club. We've got interest in a young Barcelona defender by the name of Faye. There's been rumours about former Leicester City and current Chelsea man Wesley Fufana, and there's a couple of other bits and pieces for us to go over. So yeah, one love for tuning in. Let's see all the rumours and whatnot that concern our football club. As we know, 99.9% of these things are BS, but nonetheless, it makes for great talking points. So make sure you leave a comment, like, comment, subscribe, allow me to share my screen, and let's get straight into it. Now, as you can see here, allegedly, Arsenal inquire about 17 million pound rated Barcelona defender, I can't say his first name, Mikhail Faye, with teenager also on radar of Premier League rivals and European clubs. Now, there's probably several reasons for that shameless plug, but make sure your notification bells are on. I'm going to do one of those tactical videos around him. Now, he was a young man that impressed for his country in a youth tournament a few years ago. He's joined Barcelona. You look at rumours around him at Barcelona, he's been itching in relation to the first team, was part of the side that was in pre-season. And apparently one of the reasons Xavi was actually sacked beyond the obvious was him not giving minutes to promising young players like the young Brazilian Victor Hugo and people like this guy. Now, when I look, the first thing I thought when I looked at this guy is he can play left-back as well as centre-half and he's young. Now, if you look at us being linked with Gerald Hatto, it kind of fits the remit in that Arteta probably were once another multifunctional defender who can play in that left-back or in that left-back inverted role, really. So that's where I think it is. And he's someone that's itching for first team. He's obviously still young, but he's itching for first team football. They've rejected a couple of offers. Nice bid for him last season. I think there was a couple of offers in January. And again, not pocket watching and I'm not an accountant, but Barcelona, we all know that they're in a delicate situation financially. So could this be an alternative, a cheap alternative to some of the targets that we've been linked with people? Arsenal have asked about Barcelona prospect fire and again, I can't remember who he scored it against, but I just have to get this off my chest. He scored a lovely free kick for Barcelona's youth side people. But we've asked about him. Asking doesn't mean we've bidded, doesn't mean we're any closer to getting him, but allegedly we've asked. The athletic left-back who can also play at centre-back has been starring for Barcelona B this season and was primed to make the step up to the senior side under coach Xavi who rates the teenager highly. Hansi Flick might rate him, but football's a funny old game of opinions. If he doesn't think he's needed, then he's going to have to seek pastures new. Barcelona need to sell this summer. And while they believe the 19-year-old has a big future at the club, they recognise his sale could raise £17 million or more for the coffers as interest gathers. So that probably means him, Rafinha, De Jong, you know, Koundé has even been linked with moves. Arojo has been linked with moves. If you make them an offer, they can't refuse fair enough. Now, 19 years of age, £17 million, it's not going to damage our budget, you know, too much. And also, again, I'm sure he wants first-team football, but looking at some of the targets we've been linked with, with him, you know, his playing time expectations probably have to be adjusted, and he's probably more willing to do so. And obviously, he's 19. He's impressionable. Mikel Arteta can work a trick there. Allegedly, Bayern Munich, Bayern Leverkusen and Liverpool have all been following his progress with Bayern, particularly collating a lot of information. Mel Sport has already revealed that several sides, including Manchester United, have been checking in on the powerful centre-back who can also play left-back. He is quite strong. He doesn't look the biggest, but I think he's very good technically. I think he's very strong. You know, he's very good. His passing range is good, can bring the ball out from the back, can hit a mean free kick, even though that's not really something to harp upon. And it seems like he's got a willingness to learn and he adapts quickly. He's been at Barcelona a short time, so I'm all for this if it does happen. United scout saw the 19-year-old score a spectacular goal on his international debut for Senegal against Gabon in March, and he followed that up with a tremendous free kick for Barcelona Athletic against Osasuna a week later. So that's the goal I'm referring to. It went mad on social media. He's already played in some friendly matches, Xavi told Spanish media. He's a capable footballer. He's aggressive. He's fast. He can play the ball out well. He can help us at some point. He has the level without a doubt. Who wouldn't be against that really and truly if I'm honest with you? Moving on, Emil Smithrow is someone that's currently on holiday in Jamaica, but his future was subject to speculation in January and it was a tough season for him and it's still remaining such. He has an opportunity to stay in the Premier League and stay in London. Fulham have been linked with him. Now Fulham, you took four points off us, so whatever you're asking prices for at Smithrow, whatever you bidded, up it by 10 million for that inconvenience because had we have got those four points, you might have won a league title. But apparently Fulham make Arsenal's Emil Smithrow a transfer priority this summer. Marco Silva wants to bolster attacking options with any cell of the 23-year-old representing pure profit for Arsenal. Allegedly Fulham have made Emil Smithrow one of their summer transfer priorities and are ready to bid for the Arsenal midfielder early in the window. Again, they're looking to bolster their side. A number of players could potentially leave. Willian's got interest from Saudi Arabia. Bobby Decova-Reed is out of contract people. Smithrow obviously is starving for first team football and he's been linked with Newcastle, West Ham and many other clubs really. Even Ipswich who have just been promoted. We all know Smithrow's story. He hasn't been able to play significant football, whether that's because of injuries or just not being in the line-up because they're stronger options people. And I think if he goes somewhere, he'll show his quality if I'm honest with you. Crucially, he has two years left. Two years left on his deal at 24 years of age, wearing our number 10. Again, it speaks volumes. I'm sure he wants to stay at Arsenal. I'm sure Arsenal want him to stay here. But something has to give. He can't afford to have a similar season to the last two that he's had people. And it would be pure profit for Arsenal Football Club if it was to happen. What do you lot make of that? Would you let him go? It all depends where you read, however, because he's also been linked with Napoli people, which, you know, the Italian way of life and playing for a big club in Napoli and apparently Conte is becoming their manager. This could be amazing really and truly. Napoli are apparently reporting keeping close tabs on Smithrow as Arsenal weigh up a possible summer move for Victor Rosserman. So could he be used as someone that bridges some sort of gap or knock some sort of millions off the price tag for Rosserman? As you know, he's got 120, 130 million euro fee on his head. And when you couple in his wages, it's probably as great as he is. Clubs are probably hoping Napoli are open to doing business, but probably don't see it as financially prudent of such. So it depends where you read. Smithrow has been linked with both Fulham and Napoli, Kyrgios and it'd be interesting because if you have a fit Timba, a fit Tomiyasu, you know, and you bring in another left back, they're all probably ahead of Kyrgios in the lineup. I would reckon Zinchenko is for all his faults and his future is subject to speculation. Kyrgios is decent. I want him to stay at the squad, but he might be one not with, as I said in a previous video, you know, you've got the probably to a degree Nketi or Nelson, Lokonga, Tavares, you know, Tierney, people that we need to shift on. And then I think you've got the Smithrows, the Kyrgios, the Gabriel Jesus, the Thomas Partais, people that could be available for the right price, but won't actively be forced. And, you know, you'd imagine we're going to spend a decent amount of quid. If we could raise some finances for Kyrgios, why not? If I'm honest, because although he's had to be patient for first team football and he's done alright on the grand scheme of things, interest specifically in Italy, the league he left, obviously Sanfros have not gone away and AC Milan might be open to that. Milan are again being linked with a potential swoop for Arsenal defender Kyrgios, who has been on the radar for several years. The 24-year-old can play as a left-back and a central defender, and he did spend a year basically playing as a defensive midfielder for Spezia, although he hasn't done that at Arsenal, has struggled in the inverted row and is probably the most at home as a left-sided centre-half. But we have Gabriel there. He struggled for first team football, but, you know, he did make 30 appearances last season with a goal and three assists, but only 20 of those were in the starting XI. And again, it did come at the turn of the year when there were injuries. Apparently, Milan are once again preparing an approach to see if Arsenal are willing to at least loan Kyrgios out this summer with the option to buy. Doesn't make sense for us, especially, you know, Kyrgios should only be allowed to leave if we were to bring in defensive reinforcements. He's on the contract until 2028, and we hope he has a good account of himself in the Euros for Poland, just like anyone else representing Arsenal Football Club. The Cesco stuff is getting boring at this moment. I want the man to sign for us. But nonetheless, Arsenal have made a concrete step towards signing Cesco, but the Gunners have not submitted a big enough bid to trigger the player's release clause. There are some rumours that say there is a deadline of the 14th of June to really get this popping. I hope we get it done before the Euros people, if I'm honest. Once again, apparently, he's initiated that he's open to joining the Emirates club. He does have interest from Chelsea and Man Utd, two teams who have been linked within people. Whether a deal is struck will now ultimately come down to whether Arsenal are willing to trigger the player's release clause, which has risen to €65m due to his performances for Leipzig this season. Football transfers can confirm that Arsenal have launched a bid of €55m for the 21-year-old in the hope this is accepted. So again, that's common when negotiations are concerned. But again, until people are holding shirts, who knows? He hit 18 goals in 42 games last season. He started the season kind of slow, was kind of second fiddled to a pendant. He obviously ended the season strong. And I'm bored of saying the same things. I'm a big fan of Cesco, as you lot would have seen. Dean Jones of Give Me Sport on Cesco has said the Cesco situation is interesting, but it's true Arsenal firmly in the mix. Man Utd, Chelsea and PSG are the other clubs to watch. Cesco's release clause is variable and due to his excellent form is understood to have risen from €50m to just above €60m. His agent was recently at Old Trafford and has previously held meetings in London. And we all know several players could leave Arsenal Football Club. Again, don't know if it's creditable, but there has been some rumours on social media that Arsenal are looking at Wesley Fofana of Chelsea and apparently he's appreciated by the Arsenal scouting department. I think he's a good player. Been done very dirty with injuries. Would be a good option if we could get it done. Don't think Chelsea should let him go. You know, you've got Gusto, you've got a couple of decent young English and French young defenders. Wouldn't make sense, but for what it's worth, excluding injuries, I would have him. And you know, once a Gooner, always a Gooner. I know he plays for the boys in blue, but he was pictured once upon a time in an Arsenal shirt, people. So we'll have to see. We've already gone over that. Arsenal are trying to sign replacements for three big names. Arsenal will look to sign a goalkeeper, a left-back and a central midfielder this summer as Mikel Arteta looks to strengthen the squad depth, as we know, people. Aaron Ramsdale, Zinchenko and Partey's futures are subject to speculation. Hope we get a decent fee for Ramsdale, if I'm honest. Again, at this point, it's journalists just saying the same things again and again. We're not actually learning anything. Apparently, Osserman is ready to head to Arsenal after news that Chelsea have cooled their interest, according to reports, people allegedly. Apparently, the Blues have been keen on the 25-year-old for months, but his £130m price tag, age and salary mean the West London Giants would rather target someone more affordable, claims the transfer expert Di Marzio. I mean, 25, it's a bit harsh to say age with that. PSG have been linked with him. Arsenal are thought to be fully out of the race. If he is keen on Arsenal, according to Di Marzio, fair enough, let's have a conversation. But it just seems like it's a hefty one that Arsenal will stay clear of. We have been linked with Osserman, Tony, Isak, Lloris and obviously Sesko. So the race to sign a frontman keeps going. Osserman dreams of playing in the Premier League and wants to play for a team in the Champions League. So that could be fuel to the fire. Zinchenko and Sambi Lokonga have been linked with Bayern Munich as apparently Vincent Kompany wants the Arsenal duo people. I mean, fair enough, take them. You know, Zinchenko's got two years left on his deal. Technically, Lokonga has two years left on his deal, which is one year with an option. Again, you'd imagine Lokonga is a harder sell. Get it done if possible, really and truly. We apparently have already seen this, but Arsenal have been rejected. Martin Zubermandi is not interested in joining Mikel Arteta's team, people. He's holding out for Real Madrid or Barcelona. And as we've seen before, Fufano, who plays for Monaco, has revealed Monaco have agreed to let him go. Apparently he's got a 20 million in brackets, $25 million price tag on him and his contract is up in 2025. If it was up to me, we'd get it done. I've read this before, but you know, if you haven't seen this, I've spoken about it with the hierarchy. It isn't a secret. We had exchanges and they agreed to accompany me in this new stage. If a move doesn't happen, I still have a year left and I'll be happy to stay. We're in agreement that we would accompany each other in this process in which everyone should be a winner, be it me or the club. Fair enough in that regard. So in relation to Wesley Fufano, Youssef Fufano, Smith-Rowe, Kyrgios Sesko, Osemen Faye, we've gone over everything that needs to be discussed. Let me know your thoughts on everything. Don't forget to like, comment, subscribe, check out the rest of the videos, turn your notification bells on so you don't miss one. On that note, stay safe, stay blessed. Peace.
