The Daily Mail – take a bow.
The tabloid newspaper definitely takes the biscuit for the most ridiculous rumour of the week, with the sensational claim that Arsenal will move for twice Chelsea Player of the Season winner Juan Mata.
The amazing claim was published just after 11:00am today, with the Mail website claiming:
“Sportsmail understands the Gunners are being kept updated with regards to the former Valencia man's future with a view to launching an audacious swoop should Chelsea decide to sell.”

A well-known presenter for ESPN in Brazil has claimed that Tottenham, Porto and Borussia Dortmund target Bernard is going to join Arsenal.
The 20-year-old has broken through on the international stage this season, gaining 5 caps for Brazil as well as helping Brazilian side Atletico Mineiro to a successful Copa Libertadores campaign.
Battle
Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas had expressed an interest in the trickster but opted instead for international teammate Paulinho for £17million. The competition for Bernard has been huge, with Liverpool showing interest in Brazilian starlet.

Real Madrid striker and Arsenal target Gonzalo Higuain has claimed that Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is desperate the sign the Argentine for his new club.
Mourinho was Higuain’s boss for his entire 3 year tenure at Madrid, with the 25-year-old striker now in his 6th year with the Spanish club.

Boss Arsene Wenger has been given the all clear to activate Luis Suarez’s £40million release clause.
Having already had a bid of £30million plus £5million in variables rejected, the only option for the Gunners boss to land the Reds’ star would be to table the offer that Suarez’s representatives feel the player can leave for.
It has sparked debate between Liverpool FC and the Suarez camp – unless there wasn’t enough of a dispute there already – in which Liverpool want a release clause of at least £50million, a price which would surely put off any English clubs interested.

So with another day of the summer window gone, and no big names in and some suggesting we could be set to miss out on Rooney, Suarez and Higuain, with talks of Chelsea, Real Madrid and Napoli, respectively being other destinations for the players in question.
It might well be worth looking at some alternative signings for the striker role.
The Alternatives
So who are the alternatives? Well, there are only 2 that really come to mind that would have an impact at Arsenal; Roberto Soldado and Pablo Osvaldo.
Another one for me that would be worth considering that would be more of a gamble would be Luiz Adriano from Shakhtar Donetsk.
