Arsenal transfer news recap-AIT Sports brings you the latest Arsenal transfer news, updates and rumors ahead of a busy summer ahead.
Eyes will be trained on Arsenal this summer to see if Mikel Arteta can bring in the right personnel to see the Gunners topple Manchester City in the Premier League.
While many departures are expected, excitement surrounds who the club could bring in. Alexander Issac has been a name linked for months. The report claims Newcastle have spoken to the striker saying he is not going anywhere.
Meanwhile, Arteta has been linked with Marcus Rashford ahead of his potential exit from Manchester United. Having suffered poor campaigns in two of the last three seasons, he could leave Old Trafford if the right offer comes his way.
Arsenal are also interested in Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams. The attacker is believed to have a £51million release clause that the Gunners are willing to meet.

Arsenal transfer news recap-Ramsdell message
Arsenal transfer news recap-Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale insists Gareth Southgate and England can trust him to deliver despite a ‘difficult’ campaign at the Emirates Stadium.
Ramsdale started the season as Michael Arteta’s No.1 but despite conceding just four goals in as many games, the 26-year-old pushed himself out of the starting line-up with Brentford loanee David Raya taking his place. The former Sheffield United and Bournemouth man will make two further appearances in the Premier League against the Bees while Raya is ineligible to face his parent club.
“The season has been tough but I’ve obviously shown Gareth enough in camp and the games I’ve played for club and country,” he told Sky Sports News. “He knows what I can do and he can trust me.

“Just his technical ability. The way he does it and even when you’re playing against him, you can appreciate the way he moves, and he showed me that skill once at Arsenal.
“It was so smooth, that I actually tackled him on accident. He literally did something, I don’t even know what he was trying to do, but he moved the ball in such a way that I would have actually gone with it.
“He moved it again and then moved it back to where it was first moved and I reacted like I went for the first dummy. And he made three more movements, then he came back into me and I tackled him.”
