Arsenal news: Mikel Arteta eyes Gabriel Jesus transfer repeat as Man City make Tottenham dig

Here is your morning Arsenal digest on Thursday, April 27.

Olmo opportunity

Arsenal have been told how to sign Dani Olmo from RB Leipzig in the summer. The 24-year-old faces an increasingly uncertain future at the Red Bull Arena with his contract expiring at the end of next season.

According to Sky Sports Germany, Olmo has received his final proposal from the German side as they hope to tie him down to a long-term future. However, in the event that the Spain international does not pen an extension, Leipzig will look to offload him for around €30million (£26.6million).

The Gunners have been linked with Olmo in the past when Mikel Arteta first looked to bolster his frontline. As it stands, it remains to be seen whether Arsenal will revisit a deal for the Spaniard after welcoming Leandro Trossard to the club in January.

Balogun issue

RB Leipzig are set to walk away from any potential deal to sign Folarin Balogun, according to Sky Sports transfer guru Philipp Hinze. The Hale End graduate has enjoyed a stellar season on loan at Ligue 1 outfit Reims, netting 18 league goals - a tally that reads even more impressive when you consider that he is still just 21-years-old.

That kind of form has seen him linked with a number of clubs across Europe, with the player himself said to be keen to leave the Gunners permanently in the summer if he isn't likely to get considerable game time in north London. Now, the aforementioned Hinze has reported that the New York-born striker is unlikely to be heading to RB Leipzig because Arsenal value him at around £35million, a price that the Bundesliga side deem as excessive.

It remains to be seen whether or not Balogun's future lies at the Emirates Stadium or not, and the Hale End academy graduate was as coy as ever when football.london asked him about his future last month.

Tottenham dig

Arsenal's huge title clash against Manchester City didn't quite go to plan as the race appeared to swing in the favour of the current champions. The fans in the stands made a clear dig at the Gunners, chanting about the club in comparison to north London rivals Tottenham.
