Following from yesterday’s news that Arsenal had a £14m bid for Luiz Gustavo accepted we have an update for you based on today’s round of articles.

The Express goes with Arsenal having submitted a £18 million pound bid. They also run with Ian Holloway calling Arsenal fools for snubbing Chamakh his chances and Arsene’s make or break season basically re-hashing much of Alan Smiths comments.

The Daily Mail confirms much of what the Metro report alluded to, but includes Arsene’s response to a deal being done with the quote 'There is nothing concrete yet.'

ESPN also are following the same story as the Daily Mail and the Metro but instead quoted Arsene’s response on if he is interested with "It's as you say."

Most of the other Papers, journalists on Twitter, including Telegraph’s Jeremy Wilson are re-iterating what has been said already.

I would argue the £14m is closer to the mark since Bayern will be actively looking to sell due to an over-subscription in midfield. The £18m as quoted by the Express as to high based on the situation also Gustavo didn’t play yesterday in the first Bundesliga match of the season, coupled with Wenger’s admission of interest I think we can assume that at very least a bid has been submitted if not accepted, let’s hope we bag our man.
