The latest Arsenal transfer stories brought to you by football.london on Tuesday, July 19.
Lucas Paqueta boost
Arsenal have been heavily linked with a move for Lyon midfielder Lucas Paqueta as the Gunners look to bolster their midfield options. In a boost to those chances, mediafoot reports that the Brazilian is keen on a move to the Emirates Stadium if the right offer is tabled by the club.
€40million (£34million) is said to be enough to tempt the French club to let the 24-year-old leave during the window.

Bukayo Saka contract update
Talks between Arsenal and Bukayo Saka have been rumbling on for some time now as the two parties look to seal a contract extension for the England international. The likes of Manchester City and Liverpool have been linked should an approach fail, however that may be unlikely now.
That's because, according to Fabrizio Romano in his Caught Offside column, the 20-year-old is prioritising a stay with the Gunners rather than looking elsewhere.
Zinchenko agreement
Arsenal are set to finalise the signing of Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City this summer. The Athletic reports that a full agreement has been reached on personal terms after a £30million fee was placed on the deal.
A medical and the signing of the contract are the only hurdles remaining before the Ukraine international becomes the fifth addition of the transfer window.
