Here's your Arsenal morning digest on Monday, June 6.
Raphinha update
Arsenal have been given an update for their potential Nicolas Pepe replacement ahead of next season. Leeds United's Raphinha has broken the silence on his transfer situation ahead of the summer window.
According to journalist Gianluigi Longari, Arsenal and Manchester United are interested in a move, while Barcelona and Chelsea have both previously been linked. Reports have suggested that the player is available for roughly £64million.
"If it's to stay or leave, I'll do my best, look for my space, and I'll try to be well for the World Cup," Raphinha said when speaking to Globo about his transfer situation.
Saliba to stay
William Saliba has confirmed that he'll be returning to Arsenal to fight for a place in Mikel Arteta's starting XI.
There were strong suggestions that he could return to Marseille in the coming weeks and months, but the defender has now put those rumours to bed. Speaking with Julien Maynard on French television programme Telefoot, the 21-year-old said: "I belong to Arsenal. I still have two years left. I will be back with Arsenal. I have played zero matches, and I still want to show them my true face and have the chance to play for these fans and this great club."

Torreira offered to Lazio
According to reports, Arsenal have 'offered' Lucas Torreira to Lazio as they try to offload the midfielder this summer.
According to Corriere dello sport, as cited by the Mirror, The Gunners are looking to find another suitor for Torreira. As a result, Lazio has emerged as a potential landing spot. Torreira is one of several options being looked at by Maurizio Sarri's men, with the former Chelsea boss looking to add some toughness to Lazio's midfield.
The Uruguayan doesn't have a future at Arsenal, with the Gunners desperate to get him off their books. The midfielder is a long-term target for Lazio as Sarri wanted to sign him last summer, as well as his predecessor Simone Inzaghi. However, Lazio would prefer to secure a loan deal, which Mikel Arteta's men are against currently.
