Here are Mirror Football's latest Arsenal headlines.
Join the debate! Would Lisandro Martinez and Raphinha be good signings for Mikel Arteta's Arsenal in the summer transfer window? Let us know what you think here.
Four players leave
Four players have officially left Arsenal after their contracts expired.
Forward Alexandre Lacazette is the headline name out of the quartet, with the Frenchman finally sealing his move back to Lyon. The Gunners bought Lacazette from the Ligue 1 side in 2017 for £46.5million, netting 71 goals in 206 appearances in all competitions for the club.
He has been followed out of the exit door by Jonathan Dinzeyi, Joel Lopes and Jordan McEneff after all three failed to make the grade in senior football at the Emirates.
Raphinha and Martinez deadline set
Arsenal have reportedly set a deadline to complete the signings of Raphinha and Lisandro Martinez this summer.
The Gunners have been linked with Leeds United winger Raphinha to provide competiton for Bukayo Saka on the right wing next season, although appear to trail Barcelona and Chelsea in the race to land his signature. They also face competition for Ajax centre-back Martinez, with his former boss Erik ten Hag keen to reunite with the player in his new job at Manchester United.
And if the Gunners are to complete the signings, they would like to do so before they jet off for their pre-season tour of America on July 13.
Marseille's Guendouzi stunt
Matteo Guendouzi appeared in a promotional kit video for new club Marseille before Arsenal had confirmed his summer transfer.
The midfielder spent last season on loan at the Ligue 1 side, impressing enough to earn himself a permanent £9million move.But before an official announcement had even been made, the Frenchman was already parading the kit of his new team.
