According to the British media, Arsenal to boost their midfield options with the capture of William Carvalho from Sporting Lisbon this summer for a fee, which is believed to be in the region of £20million.

After losing long-term target Morgan Schneiderlin to title rivals Manchester United, the Gunners were initially touted to have registered their interest in Arturo Vidal, but it turned out that the linking the Juventus with the London outfit had no substance to it.

The most monitored transfer rumour of the summer has resulted in Petr Cech pulling the curtain on his Chelsea career to sign with the Gunners and the new Arsenal goalkeeper answered to various questions in his first interview after the transfer.

Arsene Wenger made the most out of the turmoil that had surrounded the Czech Republic international by offering £11million to the Blues, who have opted to vote against the decision of Jose Mourinho to allow the veteran to move to arch-nemeses.

Following their failed attempts to capture Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Jackson Martinez, the Gunners have now set their sights on Alexandre Lacazette, who could be available for as cheap as £21million.

The Lyon marksman stunned the footballing world finishing as the top scorer in Ligue One ahead of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the likes, thereby drawing the attention of European giants.

Arsenal were initially touted to be one of the potential suitors, but the asking fee proved to be a hindrance.

After wrapping up Petr Cech in an Arsenal strip, Arsene Wenger has apparently made his intentions clear to add even more world-class talents to his celebrated roster given the strong interest that the London outfit have expressed in Arturo Vidal.

Freddie Ljungberg, who was a part of the famous Invincibles squad, had his share of opinion on the rumours linking the Chilean midfielder with his former club.

Arsenal, who have apparently entered the fray for the signature of Baba Rahman, are reported to have advanced to holding talks with his agent nudging out interests from rivals Chelsea and Manchester United in the progress.

The 20-year-old was a revelation last season playing a major role in the German outfit's successful campaign which saw them finish fifth, thereby qualifying for European competition next season.

His industry has brought him to the attention of European heavyweights, including Real Madrid.
