Arsenal target Armando Broja keeps his 'options open' as Franck Kessie's future still undecided

The summer transfer window will be here quicker than you perhaps might think and clubs are already working hard behind the scenes to add to their respective squads.

It's no different for Arsenal who look as though they will be particularly active in the coming months as they look to continue their resurgence under Mikel Arteta.

With Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah seemingly set to follow Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang through the exit door in the summer, there's likely to be enough space for at least two new strikers at the Emirates Stadium.

Meanwhile, it's no secret that the Gunners would like to bring in a midfielder too, especially if Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Mohamed Elneny leave the club on permanent deals.

With that in mind, football.london has taken a look at the latest transfer rumours linking Arsenal with some of Europe's most talented prospects.

Who?

Armando Broja

Where?

The Express

What?

On loan Chelsea star and Arsenal target Broja is refusing to rule out the possibility of a move away from Stamford Bridge ahead of the summer transfer window.

He's open to all options this summer and would not be prepared to rule anything out at this point in time.

That being said, the 20-year-old is also reportedly eager to see what Chelsea might have in store for him upon his return to west London and would be keen to establish himself as a first-team asset under Thomas Tuchel's guidance.

Who?

Rafael Leao

Where?

What?

The Gunners hope to secure a deal to land Leao when the transfer window reopens.

Having found the net 10 times in 27 appearances for AC Milan across all competitions, the Portuguese star has attracted interest from some of Europe's top clubs, including Arsenal who are looking to strengthen their forward line in the coming months.

Who?

Franck Kessie

Where?

Fabrizio Romano

What?

Ivory Coast international Kessie is yet to come to an agreement with any club about his future.

The AC Milan star is a free agent in the summer but is no closer to resolving his future.

“Franck Kessie has still no full agreement with any club. Barcelona are in contact with his agent since December; they are waiting for him – Kessié has not made his final choice yet. Race still open, other clubs also interested,” Romano said on Twitter.
