Arsenal trying to sign Locatelli - Zirkzee's agent WANTS Arsenal move! -Latest News Show

People deluded, I'm back again. First things first, happy Friday. I hope you're all doing well and safe. Now, as we move to the end of the Premier League season and onto the Euros and so on and so forth, we know the transfer rumours are going to start to swell around Arsenal Football Club and any other clubs. I think I speak for many Arsenal fans where I say we hope to see some incomings, maybe a striker, a winger, a central midfielder. We hope to see some departures, people. We just never know. As we know, 99.9% of this stuff is BS, but nonetheless, it gives us something to talk about. Arteta allegedly has shedded light on his future. We've been linked with Locatelli. We've been linked with Joshua Zurski. Allegedly, Aaron Ramsdale has agreed to move to Newcastle. So allow me to share my screen and let's get into it, people. Now, first thing is with Joshua Zurski, who I just said, you know, Arsenal fans and probably Arsenal as a football club, we probably need a striker. At the time of making this video, I'm actually in the process of making a video centred around that point. Now, I believe we need a striker. You know, on the face of it, 80-odd goals, you know, all the goals are being shared out. But I want the best of both worlds. I want Trossart's 12 goals. I want Gabriel Jesus to get back to what he's doing. I want Martinelli and Odegaard to do their thing. I want people to chip in from set pieces, mainly our defenders. You know, Declan Rice has brought goals to the table. But if you sit there in August, as I said last August, as I'll probably say, depending on who we sign this August, and as I said in August before, where you look at our goals, you know, I do think us Arsenal fans, including myself, we maybe overstate the need for a striker. And I do think we need to know that while clearly we need a forward and the primary job of a striker is to score goals, the game's We're talking about kicking ability and passing from goalies. You know, they need to be able to do the other facets of being a striker in a Mikel Arteta system. They need to be able to affect the game or have an effective impact without necessarily scoring. But I must admit that December period, the game against West Ham, potentially I'm being harsh, but Aston Villa, where we lost, maybe Manchester City away as well. There's been some moments where we've just needed someone who can put the ball in the back of the net. And as I was saying, if you go back, you know, if you look at this August, depending on who we sign, if we just assume we sign nobody, God forbid, smash the like button if you want us to sign people and comment your opinions on not just what I'm talking about, but everything. If you're in August, yeah, and you're Mikel Arteta and you're saying we need X amount of clean sheets, we need goals, we need this, we need that. Clearly, we've shown the goals will be spread out and we can't predict the future. But specifically, almost going to get that word out on the front three people, literally just the strikers. So we assume right now it's Kai Havertz and Trossart, give or take a Fit Hay-Zeus and Info Martinelli, the front three might look different, but Saka is there. In August, in terms of double figures, who is the only one that you would bet your life or your life savings on? Not to say other people can't chip in, it'd probably be Bakayo Saka because he's done it for the last two, three years. Everyone else is a pleasant surprise. They've got the capacity. So as much as I want Kai Havertz to continue his form, Trossart to continue his form, all the players to score goals. I don't care who scores, how we score, just keep doing what we're doing. Saka is the only one I bet on. So I think we need a striker. I think we really need to get a central midfielder. I would love another winger to ease the burden on Bakayo Saka, resting where possible. When Martinelli's form fluctuates, maybe there's someone else. In addition to what we've got with Trossart and a couple of other options, give or take. Hay-Zeus can play there, Smith-Rowe can play out wide. They haven't really been given that opportunity, bar the occasional stuff. In fact, Smith-Rowe ain't done that this year. Fabio Vieira is coming for Saka at times, but that's not the thing, people. I want a striker. When I look at Joshua Zersky, I say it all the time. When someone says his name, I think of creativity. His goal return isn't that massive, but all the other facets of being a striker in a Mikel Arteta system I think are perfect. At 22 years of age, he's on the right trajectory. Now, Bologna have qualified for the Champions League. There's rumours Thiago Motta, their current manager, he was a former player in the Italian division, played for Barcelona, played for Inter Milan, etc. There's rumours he could go to Juventus, so maybe Zersky wants to get rid. Maybe he wants to join a bigger club in Italy, follow his manager, allegedly, to Juventus. Maybe he wants to stay at Bologna because something has to be said for stability. As we know, there's a buyback clause in his contract, etc. This article has said Adrian wants Zersky to join Arsenal because of Edu, but Milan still hope. Now, you know, Arsenal got a great project, probably going to get more wages at Arsenal than you would at some of the clubs you've been linked with. Obviously, it's an exciting youth kind of thing that we're doing. The law of the Premier League, as an agent, it makes sense. In theory, we've got a young team, you tie into that. I'm going to get my client probably more handsome wages than he might get, give or take, elsewhere. I'd probably get a better commission as an agent, really. If he's got a good relationship with Edu, that's how life works. It's not what you know, it's who you know. If they can make something, if Arsenal won in fair play, Milan still hope people. I reckon he stayed. I don't think he joins AC Milan or Juventus personally. But according to reports, people, Joshua Zersky's agent, Kaya Jurupkin, is a close friend of Arsenal's director, Edu. Yes, we are. And to be fair, he does have several clients on his roster. So he wants the Bologna star to join the Gunners. And maybe, you know, I'm sure he's got a couple of clients already at Arsenal. Obviously, it's a bit like what is it, Mendes, what he was doing at Wolves. Obviously, Wolves were doing a club. Indirectly, I'm getting a bit of an influence, people. So that's probably where it comes from, really and truly. Apparently, Milan still hope to persuade the Dutchman and his reps. Now, there's been some reports this week. Check out the rest of the other content that Zersky's going to join Arsenal. Then it's Jokeres is joining us. Then it's this guy, that guy, Cesco, you know, apparently rivals are going off. So again, 99.9% of these rumours are BS people. But it is what it is. Apparently, we're plotting, you know, a move for him and his agent is plotting a summer move to Arsenal for the Bologna striker. And if it were only up to him, the Dutchman would sign for the Gunners, bearing in mind Bayern Munich have a sell-on clause and a buy-back clause, people. The Italian newspaper claims Juripkin is a close friend of Edu, so he hopes to push his client to the Emirates Stadium. Zersky has a €40 million clause in his contract with Bologna and is valid for all clubs, not only Bayern Munich. So again, when you look at Cesco, €64 million, Zersky, €40 million, which is probably £34-35 million quid and some change. It allows us to get a good player with a lot of trajectory and save money to invest in elsewhere. And we have to be fluid, you know, targets that we think we're getting, there might be spanners in the works, players that we think are going, there might be spanners in the works. You just never know, people. Apparently, Bayern Munich are also entitled to a 45% sell-on clause. Great business from Bayern Munich. You've got a buy-back clause, probably not going to invoke that with their strikers. And they're getting €45 million. And obviously for Bologna, for a young striker that's give or taking, great form. You know, I'm not a math man, but if I bought him, not that I have it, I wish, hit the like button, subscribe, we might be able to. But if I had €40 million and I bought him, you know, what's 45% of that really? You know, they're not really going to get as much as they could. It means Bologna will earn just €21 million from the Zerksy sale this summer. Arsenal are ready to offer the Dutchman a €6 million a year contract, but Milan still hope to persuade the 22-year-old. According to the report, Zerksy would be happy to remain in Serie A for at least one more season to continue his development, but his agent seems to have other ideas. The Rossoneri remain in talks with the striker's reps and still hope to convince him to complete the deal and make Zerksy their new centre-forward in the 2024-25 season. This article is more or less saying the same thing. Again, let me know your thoughts on Zerksy as a player and what we've just gone over. Keeping up the theme with Italy, people, and no, it's not Vlahovic. Locatelli rumours have resurfaced. Arsenal have included Juventus' Manuel Locatelli in their transfer list for the summer transfer window, according to reports from Italy. I know we've bought a couple of players in Curia and Tomi Assi from Italy, but after the whole Vlahovic saga, Osserman to a degree, and actually Locatelli, I'm very pessimistic on things that come out of there. Now, Locatelli was linked with us before. His agent or his brother or someone come out and said he was close to joining Arsenal, but his heart was set on Juventus. So, he's a player we know. He obviously plays in central midfield, and when you look at Douglas, Luiz, Onanas, Juve, Mendy, Locatelli, they're all different kind of roles, but they share the same common denominator in we need to address midfield. So, maybe it's a bit of creative journalism in that regards. But for what it's worth, the Serie A side took the midfielder from Sassuolo in 2021, and prior to that, the Gunners showed keen interest in him. Sassuolo chairman Giovanni Colavani, forgive me for mispronunciation, revealed in March that Arsenal offered more money, but Locatelli wanted Juventus. So, it's like trying to, you know, if you're a guy out there, big up yourself. But, Mandem, it's like trying to get a girl. She don't want to hear nothing from you. Maybe my man's got more money, et cetera. That relationship hasn't worked out. Now, she wants to spin the block or come over here because she sees that you might be a good man. Now, some men will go do that. Me, I'm built different. No matter how much I want you back or want to go self-respect, maybe that's what Arsenal are on because, you know, it looks like when we get burnt once, we're like safe. But for what it's worth, people, Ortega wants to bolster his side's midfield next season. And this could see the North London club consider returning for the 26-year-old. Recent claims have stated Arsenal are interested in Newcastle United's Bruno Gamares. He's also on the radar of other top clubs, City apparently. The outlay relays it and adds that the Italy international is also included in the Gunners' transfer target list. Locatelli has managed a goal and six assists from 39 games this season. Even though he is featured regularly, the reports say the midfielder has struggled under Allegri. Allegri, who's rumoured to be departing because they want Thiago Motta. It's a bit like we're going to get onto it, but Joshua Kimmich rumours to Arsenal and elsewhere. I'm not saying it can't happen, but if you're at loggerheads with a manager who's going to be departing, you're not going to, you know, you might want to stay because a new manager might make you the best thing since sliced bread. So we have to see. There's a belief Locatelli would finally blossom under Arteta and take his qualities and performances into account. He could be the perfect link for Arsenal. In short, the Arteta factor could play a role in convincing Locatelli to make a leap to the Emirates. He has a deal until 2028 and apparently it would be difficult for Arsenal to negotiate a deal with Juventus. The situation may change if Locatelli could consider a move to the Premier League side. So I wouldn't buy too much into that. Now we know Ramsdale is probably going to depart. James Green apparently has been talking on the Highbury squad, big them up. It's my understanding that Aaron Ramsdale has agreed to join Newcastle in the summer. That has come directly from speaking to someone who I am very close with, who has spoken to his agent and he said it's done. The deal is happening, fair enough, as if we can make a little profit, great. So I wonder what that makes for Nick Pope. For Ramsdale, go play first team football. Newcastle's a great club, an ambitious club, a big club, you know, go do your thing really and truly. It's a shame how it worked out. Not really because Raya's doing his thing. But Ramsdale, I've got time for you, man. So yeah, apparently he's agreed to move people. I don't think that will come as a surprise to many Arsenal fans. If I'm being honest, I think the writing was on the wall. It's going to happen. He can't sit there and be a backup goalkeeper. He was too good for that. So again, what does that make for Nick Pope? He was always going to go on to pastures new and I saw a few reports, a few other journalists talking about a backup to Raya this week and what keepers might come in. The likes of Jason Still at Brighton were mentioned and I think he'd actually be a very good number too, fair enough. And he'd also count as homegrown. So we know we're going to technically sign two goalkeepers. You know, Raya's move will be made permanent and evidently we'd need a backup goalie or we'd be in some serious trouble. William Saliba's form's been out of this world and, you know, he's been great this season. Obviously, you know, where the Premier League trophy's concerned, we might not get that over the line. I don't think we will. I'm saying might not, you know, thoughts become things in that. Happy to see he signed the new deal, played all... Well, he has played every minute going into the West Ham game, which I'd imagine he would have played every minute. He was injured last season. He's been fit this year and it's helped us run this title thing to a last day. And when you're 22, 23 years of age, doing what you're doing, got one of the best defensive duos in Gabriel and Saliba. And in terms of this season, how many centre-backs in European football have been better than them? You know, I'm not saying they're the best. I would say them two have been up there. Rüdiger's been up there. Let me know some others, folks, people. So it doesn't surprise me that PSG, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich have all been linked. Who doesn't want nice players? You know, I would love a date with Kelly Rowland. I'm sure a lot of you will as well. Shout me, but it's not going to happen. So we'll have to see, but it's a step in the right direction. I do think William Saliba will play for Real Madrid one day. Hopefully, it's not any time soon. And this article has said Carlo Ancelotti wants some people. Are Real Madrid going to spend that? I don't know. It's still unclear what lies ahead for Xavi Simmonds with rumours swirling about a possible move this summer. Barcelona reportedly one of the clubs vying to bring him from Paris Saint-Germain. He's been linked with Barcelona on loan and also a club like Arsenal who's been linked with in the past people. Apparently, a journalist of CBS has said, I don't think PSG will let Simmonds leave unless the offer is absolutely astronomical and it's too good to turn down. I think Luis Enrique has already said publicly he would like much to have Xavi Simmonds as part of his PSG side for next season, as they should really and truly. Apparently, PSG have reached out to his reps. Apparently, going on loan is still an option. And apparently, he's got a clause where he selects his loan club. So that could help Barcelona. I love Xavi Simmonds. I don't really want him on loan because we're essentially developing a player for someone else. Again, we've been linked with Ferdinand Calogoglu or Fenerbahce people who is a defender. We've once again been linked with him. This article has said we have moved quickly to secure his services in the race for the left back. And apparently, we're close. Apparently, has claimed that the fullback is close to joining the Arsenal. Talks with the players' entourage are ongoing and an agreement on personal terms should be straightforward. And it will be a fee of around 25 million euros, people, or pounds. Apparently, he's one of Fenerbahce's most important players and has made 49 appearances across all comps this season, helping his team to 19 clean sheets. And he's got three goals in the process, people. And apparently, he's ready for a new challenge. I mean, I haven't got an informed opinion on him, but if he can add to the squad, who doesn't want players? Keeping up the theme with Fenerbahce, apparently, they've made an inquiry for Thomas Partey, people, in which with Jorginho signing a new deal with us being linked to central midfielders. And I think every Arsenal fan knows we need a central midfielder. You'd imagine the 30-year-old is someone that I don't think the club will force out. But if a feasible offer comes, they might let it be known that maybe you need to keep it moving, if I'm completely honest. Everyday Partey is linked with a new club, people. But he's on 200 grand a week, and he's 31. And he's in the last year of his deal. There's even been some reports that there's an extension on offer for Arsenal. But these are conflicting. Think about it logically. Like, on ability, we wouldn't want Thomas Partey. But you're 31. You're on 200 grand a week. If you're a foreign club, you might very well want Partey. You might make offers to see Chester Waters with Arsenal. Arsenal are not going to get a decent fee from him. Even 10, 15 million, you'd probably take that. But you'd probably say, Partey, sit tight at Arsenal. Let's see if you don't get any injuries. You keep some prolonged form. In January, we'll agree a free transfer. Obviously, for Thomas Partey, if he fulfills the duration of his contract, that's a loyalty bonus. You're on 200 grand, as I said. Unless you're going to go Saudi or somewhere like that, you're probably not going to get that. Arsenal do have an exciting project. And when fit, you're one of the key players for Mikel Arteta. So we'll have to see exactly what's going on there, people. He has started the last four games for us in the Premier League. Wins against Chelsea, Man Utd and Tottenham Hotshite. Sorry, Spurs. To be fair, the Man Utd game was the only one he was a bit dodgy when he tried to drop his shoulder early on in the game. I love Thomas Partey as a footballer, innit, people? We're not going to get €29 million for him and whatever wages he's on, if I'm honest with you. Of course, you don't want to see a player go for free, but that's where we're at. Thomas Touko, apparently, one minute he's leaving, then he's staying, then he's going. Apparently, he's now going. And this has ramifications for Kimmich potentially to Arsenal, as this reporter stated he wants to stay at Bayern Munich because Thomas Touko is leaving. I would love Kimmich at the club, but the dream is free, the hustle is sold separately. Exit door opens for Arteta as jumpy Arsenal sweat over manager's future. So a manager that is in high regards, that's contracted until 2025, is being linked with other clubs. I personally think a new deal has been signed for him and it will be announced in due course. But for what it's worth, the man himself has said we'll talk with the club about that at the end of the season. Apparently, Romano has said Arsenal are already preparing their new proposal for Arteta, which, you know, whether you rate him or not, and there's question marks about, you know, as much as I rate how he's assembled the squad, I think there's a correlation when we've lost certain games and not got points with the lack of options in midfield. While goals have been scored, you know, we clearly need a striker. And I do think for as great as the gap has been around injuries as well, we're saying the same things year in, year out. So, you know, he's learning on the job. He's learning quick. He's doing his thing. Obviously, the question mark now is can you get us over the line? We've had another title challenge. Obviously, the Champions League, for me, it feels a bit of what if, really, because there's no shame in going out and buying Munich. We gave a good account of ourselves back when we got back, but we shot ourselves in the foot. I do think the conversations are shifting to can you get over the line with major honours and stuff like that because we're flirting with it. But for me, if there was any negatives or cons, I think the pros are outweighed by what Mikel Arteta is doing on the field. We'll be here all day defensively scoring goals, variety in our play, challenging. We're doing all of that sort of stuff, what we want from the manager and players are getting better and better. So, I think he deserves to stay. Obviously, you look at the Bakayo, well, Ramsdale as well, but Saka, Ramsdale, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomiasu, Benjamin White, Odegaard, a bunch of players, key players have committed their futures. Declan Rice, obviously, people can leave, managers leave. This is the business. But Declan Rice has signed. Obviously, Arteta has shown him what I want to do in the long term. So, if you signed all of these players up, again, anything in life can happen, but you'd imagine the gaffer wants to do his thing. And he's done so much. Back-to-back Apes, coming with the Xhaka staff, been there with Aubameyang and Ozil. There was Covid, there was Champions of Europa League, there's been so much. And we've not got out of it yet, but it is a lot more rosy at the Emirates. So, if you're going through with that, do you want to quit already? He's obviously a manager held in high regards. Had he not ended up at Arsenal, you'd imagine he would be groomed to take over from Pep, if and when the time comes. So, it is what it is. But he has also hinted people, he does see himself returning to Spain at some point in his career. And again, I do feel he could be like Pep Guardiola or Jurgen Klopp, in that they stay for a long time. But the days of Shreddick Ferguson and Arsene Wenger, they're gone. He's not going to be here for 20-odd years. And as much as he's an Arsenal man and he played for us, you've got to remember, he came from La Masia. He comes from whatever regions Real Sociedad is. He went city, he played forever and things like that. This is a job at the end of the day. And he doesn't, as much as he loves the club and the way of life, this ain't born into him like me and you lot out here. We're Arsenal fans. At the end of the day, this is a job and this goes for the players. Naturally, why wouldn't he want to go back to Spain at some point and bully his homeland? Just make sure you achieve something here first and then do what you need to do, people. Once again, people, Arsenal are in advanced talks for Benjamin Sesco. According to reports, people, I've covered this in previous videos, so go and check that out. Let me know your thoughts on him. According to Courtside, which claims Arsenal are in advanced talks with the 20-year-old over a summer move, Sesco has become the Gunners' priority target ahead of Jokic due to his price, people. He started the season with a 50 million euro release clause, a demand from his camp Leipzig had agreed to in their bid to sign him, but that figure allegedly is not fixed. Sesco's clause is now thought to stand at around 60 to 65 million euros and it could yet rise to as high as 75 million euros if performance-related targets are hit in the Red Bulls' last game against ITAC Frankfurt. So after seeing his agent was pictured at Old Trafford, Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and a bunch of other clubs have been linked with the 20, 21-year-old people. That's nothing for you lot. One player who could be departing from our academy, Nathan Butler, apparently Swansea and Bristol are eyeing up the 21-year-old in which, it looks like the pathways block has been on loan to Cheltenham Town people and Akritan Stanley previously and like a lot of the boys in the under-21s, probably need to get out and play proper first-team football and try to build futures away from the football club. It's just the belly of the beast people. He's a good lad with a great mentality and a great upbringing so I think he'll be alright. Obviously, this article has spoken about Arsenal's departures. We know we could see goalkeepers leave to various degrees. Aaron Ramsdale, we just went over, allegedly could be joining Newcastle. Karl-Hein, you'd imagine, he's homegrown and we need a third-choice keeper but from him, from a selfish point of view, you need to go out and get loans. Arthur Okonkwo, apparently, is leaving on the free people. Apparently, Freddie Woodman is a player the Gunners have looked at. Wojciech Szczesny has been linked with us. We know Cedric is departing. Thien is giving his interview which, again, we've covered in previous vids. You can never rule out someone having a future but it looks like his days are numbered. Nuno Tavares needs to be gone tomorrow. We also know we've got an interest in Gerrard Hatto. Apparently, we're interested in Mark Gerhi but he's going to cost top whack. This has said, keep an eye on Zinchenko's situation. The Ukrainian has two years left to run on his contract in North London and lost his start in place. At 27 years of age, Arsenal are unlikely to offer him a new deal unless his standing in the team changes and could be open to offers on him this summer. Bayern have been interested. We know we need to bring in a midfielder. Partey could leave the club if a suitable offer comes in. Jorginho has signed a new deal. Zoubamendi continuously is linked with us. Apparently, the player's willingness to come is in doubt. So that probably means close the case because we've heard that for a while with Zoubamendi now. Douglas Luiz and Guimaraes are both players that have been linked but as things stand, it's unlikely those deals are going through. Smith-Rowe also lacks. Zinchenko has two years left on his deal and considering he's in his mid-20s, that's someone that when he burst through, you would have thought this would be impossible. So I do think a lot of these players are in show-and-prove mode. I think Jorginho's shown he could get a new deal. I think Zinchenko is in show-and-prove mode. Smith-Rowe, if there was ever an opportunity, these lot need to do what they're doing, people. Apparently, we've been linked with Paqueta. But Ademad, I think him and Bruno Guimaraes are ending up at City. We know we want to sign a striker, people. We've been linked with Oli Watkins and Ivan Toni. Toni links have gone dead. Oli Watkins is going to cost a lot of money and his team has just qualified for the Champions League. Alexander Izzac is a lovely player and if Ramsdale's going over there, is there some negotiating and bartering to do potentially with us getting Alexander Izzac, people? Apparently, he's unlikely to leave Newcastle, as things stand. Eddie Nketiah could be on the move this summer. He hasn't started a single game in 2024 and he has a whole host of interest from Premier League clubs, including Crystal Palace. Allegedly, we could also be open to offers for Reece Nelson as well, folks. I'll be doing a Watchalong an hour before kick-offs at 3pm. Even if you're not going to be there, smash the like button.
