Arrival of Calum Chambers and Mathieu Debuchy in the summer was seen a hindrance for the progress of Carl Jenkinson and he was eventually loaned out to the Hammers in a hunt for Premier League minutes.

The former Charlton Athletic starlet made the most out of the opportunity as he made eye-catching performances under Sam Allardyce and has now attracted interests from multitude of English clubs, who are into the market for top-quality, yet cheap right-back.

Arsenal lock horns with Aston Villa in their most decisive fixture of the season on Saturday evening as they look to retain the Football Association Cup and Ashley Westwood believes that Arsenal defenders may have to endure sleepless nights given the fear that Christian Benteke imposes.

The Belgian looked like a shadow of his former self early into the season as the Villains struggled to find the back of the net, but rediscovered his goal-scoring form following the appointment of Tim Sherwood. He has scored twelve goals in the past twelve outings and his team-mate believes that he is back to finest form.

Maurizio Zamparini and Jean-Michel Aulas have spoken to the press about the future of Paulo Dybala and Alexandre Lacazette respectively more than the players themselves and the Lyon president has now even predicted the destination where the French striker would end up at stating that Paris Saint-Germain are already out of cards.

Arsene Wenger has been advised by former players and supporters to bring down an upgrade to Olivier Giroud this summer while Jackson Martinez, Paulo Dybala and Alexandre Lacazette are believed to be heading to Premier League next season.

Thierry Henry recently admitted his fondness for his countryman Olivier Giroud to save his cult image from getting torpedoed further, but recent reports suggest that Arsene Wenger may have listened to his former striker as Arsenal are believed to offload the former Montpellier marksman in favour of Karim Benzema.

Olivier Giroud has enjoyed a roller-coaster season scoring seven goals in six Premier League games before going on a goalless run of eight games. Such inconsistency has, thus, resulted in huge number of Arsenal supporters calling out for a striker signing in the upcoming transfer window.

As the Premier league season drew to an end yesterday it must be time for the transfer window. Often known as ‘silly season’ the rumours will keep on coming and means there will be plenty of reporting.

The news this hour concerns the Porto striker Jackson Martinez.  It is the information of Kike Marin that Arsenal have decided to sign Martinez with Porto replacing him with Alberto Bueno. Kike is well known within Spanish football and is reliable.  Just to add bit more substance to the news Kike was the first to report the Alexis deal last summer.
