Arsenal have endured somewhat of a quiet summer so far, much to their fans’ frustration. The Gunners have been desperate to sign a striker since January, though a deal is yet to be found. They have their eyes on Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko. It had appeared that the RB Leipzig star had moved to become their priority target, but it now appears Mike Arteta has not given up on Sporting Lisbon’s Gyokeres. Sporting have not been making things easy for the Swedish striker’s suitors though, causing a split between the two parties. The Gunners have not been pushed away totally though and are now preparing a fresh offer. Elsewhere, Oleksandr Zinchenko’s potential move away from the Emirates is gathering pace, with AC Milan the favourites to land the left-back. While that deal is close to being agreed, Arsenal have suffered a blow to their hopes of signing Bradley Barcola. The Frenchman now looks set to remain at Paris Saint-Germain, despite losing his place in Luis Enrique’s starting line-up. Here, Mirror Football rounds up all the latest Arsenal transfer news. Arsenal are preparing a fresh offer for Viktor Gyokeres as they turn their attention back to the Swedish international. Sporting Lisbon rejected the Gunners’ opening 拢55million bid for the 27-year-old striker. That has not deterred the Gunners though, with Correio da Manh茫 reporting that the Premier League side are ‘preparing to make another offer’. It is claimed that boss Mikel Arteta is pushing for a deal to be completed in time for the club’s Asia tour. The first match of that tour comes on 23 July against AC Milan in Singapore. That has started a month-long clock for sporting director Andrea Berta to reach an agreement with his counterparts in Lisbon. Oleksandr Zinchenko’s exit from Arsenal is gathering pace, with AC Milan lining up the Ukrainian as their replacement for Theo Hernandez. The Frenchman is expected to be sold to the Saudi Pro League. According to Corriere Dello Sport , Milan sporting director Igli Tare has had ‘contact’ with intermediaries who are managing Zinchenko’s exit. The Rossoneir are hoping to complete a deal worth under 拢20m for the left-back. Zinchenko is said to be ‘open’ to moving to the San Siro with only his salary demands being a potential obstacle. But the 28-year-old representatives remain in discussions with the Serie A giants, though Hernandez’s exit must come first. Arsenal have seen their hopes of signing Bradley Barcola dented after Paris Saint-Germain rejected an enquiry from the Gunners. The 22-year-old had lost his place in Luis Enrique’s side following the January arrival of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. That led to suggestions that he could be on the move this summer in search of game-time. Arsenal were one of the teams to grow interested in the Frenchman, but L’Equipe report he is instead likely to remain at the Parc des Princes. It is said there is no ‘war of egos’ between Barcola and PSG ‘s other forwards and he is not unhappy. In fact, he wants to remain in the French capital, with PSG also keen to keep him and closing the door to an enquiry from the Gunners.
