Arsenal's move for a Premier League star is reportedly 'firmly off' for one key reason, with Tottenham Hotspur also mentioned as a potential suitor.

Tottenham Hotspur are being tipped to make up for their failure to secure the signing of Morgan Gibbs-White by making a spectacular £80million swoop for a player who could completely transform Thomas Frank's attack,

Gabriel Jesus, once seen as the face of Arsenal’s post-Aubameyang rebuild, now finds himself behind new arrival Viktor Gyokeres and German international Kai Havertz in the striker hierarchy. The Gyokeres deal, long pursued by Arsenal, signalled a shift in Mikel Arteta’s attacking strategy.

Arsenal agreed a £64m deal for Gyokeres to finally secure the potent number nine Mikel Arteta has been hoping to sign for quite some time. It has been decided that Gyokeres will wear number 14 for Arsenal and follow in the footsteps of legendary forward Thierry Henry.

Arsenal are now gearing up for a pre-season date with North London rivals Tottenham as they continue to step up their preparations for the new season. Mikel Arteta and Andrea Berta have been busy men this summer, with new signings aplenty snapped up, and in pretty swift fashion on the whole.

Still, his experience at Manchester City and Arsenal means he knows the league inside out. While his finishing has drawn criticism, his link-up play and pressing ability align well with Howe’s tactical setup. If the financial terms are favourable and the player is fully fit, this could be a smart piece of business.

Adel Taarabt has launched a scathing attack on former club Tottenham whilst confessing he regrets not joining north London rivals Arsenal instead. The Moroccan midfielder proved a polarising figure throughout his Premier League career, yet his mesmerising talent in the centre of the park eventually made him a beloved figure at QPR.

TBR Football can exclusively reveal that Rodrygo Goes has indicated that he would be open to joining Tottenham Hotspur this summer. TBR Football understands that the winger’s entourage are assessing his options, having already spoken to Arsenal and Liverpool.

Arsenal beat Newcastle 3-2 in Singapore on Sunday as Mikel Arteta’s kept their winning run going in preseason. Anthony Elanga put Newcastle ahead early on as the new signing made a great first impression on his first start, but then Arsenal equalized through Mikel Merino and an own goal from Jacob Murphy moments later made it 2-1.

Connor Humm reports that Viktor Gyokeres has officially been added to Arsenal’s squad for the pre-season game against Tottenham Hotspur in Hong Kong on Thursday, with Cristhian Mosquera also included.
