Aubameyang Swap Deal Increases After Target’s Agent Troll On Social Media

Gunners are sweating to get a replacement for the want away goal machine. It has in recent days being linked with a swap deal including Inter Milan’s Mauro Icardi and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and the Argentine’s agent may well be keen on such deal.

Wanda Nara is the wife and agent of Icardi, who has spent the season on loan with Paris Saint-Germain, registering 20 goals in the process.

The striker is expected to return to Italy in the coming weeks, with the French Ligue 1 having already called time on their division following a decision by the country’s president to not allow competitive sports until August at the earliest.

The French club had been claimed to be interested in signing their loanee on a more permanent deal, but his wife supposedly told the club that he wanted to return to Italy following the end of the campaign.

Wanda has recently posted a picture of her son on Arsenal Jersey, although it is not the newest shirt, and is actually from 2018- 2019 collection, which may well put a downer on the initial excitement.

Regardless of the year of the shirt, Wanda may well be pushing talk of a move by posting the image on her Instagram page.

Icardi could well prove to be a top acquisition could the Gunners pull off the deal, though, it could not be seen if he could replace the goal threat of Aubameyang, this calls for another story.

He has done excellently well in both Italy and France, and seems to have some attitude problems, but if he is able to be somewhere that he could be happy, it could be a partnership that thrives for years to come.

Two out of the five documents to be submitted to FIFA are a copy of Ejaria's passport showing his Nigerian nationality, which is valid at the time the request for a change of association is submitted; and a copy of Ejaria’s passport or identification showcasing his English nationality.

"Yes, he has agreed to play for Nigeria.

His documents have been sent to FIFA." Pinnick said to ESPN.

Arsenal In Advanced Talk To Sign Norwegian Winger George Lewis

Arsenal are in race to sign teenage Norwegian sensation winger, George Lewis.

The 19-year-old spent a fortnight on trial with the Gunners earlier in the year and did enough during his spell to convince the north London club into pursuing a permanent deal.

Lewis is currently a free agent having spent the past few years playing in the lower leagues of Norwegian football.

Goal.com has learned that should the transfer go through, Lewis will link up with Steve Bould’s Under-23s at Arsenal, rather than follow the likes of Gabriel Martinelli and Matteo Guendouzi, who have immediately made the step up to the senior side in recent years following moves from abroad.

Lewis who was born in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, started his career in the youth ranks of Norwegian club Tromso IL before moving to third tier side Tromsdalen in 2017 - where he signed his first professional contract.

A brief move to Fram Larvik, who also play in Norway’s third tier, followed in 2019, but Lewis is now a free agent and has spent some time in the past year with Ipswich.

Arsenal invited the young attacker for a week-long trial in March and having impressed with his versatility in attacking areas, he was kept on for a further seven days.

And the north London club are now pursuing a permanent deal for the right winger, who can play across the forward line.

Like all clubs, Arsenal are expected to have a relatively quiet summer in the transfer market due to the ongoing financial implications caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Arteta is looking to strengthen his senior squad, but the Spaniard accepts that the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 outbreak means cash will be hard to come by.

One player Arsenal could look to move on to raise some funds is Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who has spent the season on loan with Roma in Serie A.

On Tuesday, Italian newspaper the Corriere dello Sport reported than Mkhitaryan wanted to make the move permanent and quoted him as saying: “My time in London is over. I hope you [Arsenal] manage to find an agreement with Rome because my desire is to stay.”

But the 31-year-old’s agent, Mino Raiola, has now refuted those claims.

Taking to social media, Raiola said: “Mkhitaryan did not send any message to Arsenal. Specially in times like these, fake news are completely unacceptable.”

The Armenia international is approaching the final year of his contract with the Gunners.

Real Madrid Eyeing £60m Move for Sevilla Winger Lucas Ocampos

Spanish giant Real Madrid are planning a surprise move for £60million rated Sevilla winger Lucas Ocampos, according to Mundo Deportivo.

The 25year old winger has been one of the standout performers in LaLiga since moving to Sevilla from Olympique Marseille last summer, which has led to interest from several teams in Europe, including Borussia Dortmund.

In his debut season in the Spanish top flight, the Argentine has scored 10 goals and provided two assists in 22 games.

Ocampos joined Sevilla last summer from Olympique Marseille for €15m and his contract carries a €70m buyout clause.

Sevilla are also interested in midfielder Dani Ceballos, who has impressed on loan at Arsenal and is surplus to requirements at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Arsenal are keen to sign Ceballos permanently or bring him back to the club on another season-long loan following his performances this term.

AS claim Real are only prepared to sell the 23-year-old if a club offers £44m (€50m) for Ceballos.

Arsenal Offered Inter Sensational Striker Mauro Icardi In A Swap Deal For Aubameyang

Inter Sensational Mauro Icardi is being used as a bait to price top Arsenal asset Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang away from the Emirates according to reports in Italy.

The Arsenal captain has little left on his contract at the Emirates, and the north London club could be forced to sell him rather than risk losing him for nothing in 12 months.

This has raised the prospect of a swap deal with Inter Milan to bring Icardi in as a direct replacement for the Gabonese star, claim Tuttosport.

Icardi has no future at the San Siro and despite impressing on loan at Paris Saint-Germain this season, there are doubts he will stay in Ligue 1 permanently.

The 27-year-old has 20 goals in 31 appearances, while Aubameyang has returned the same number in just one game more.

Last year Arsenal lost Aaron Ramsey on a free transfer to Juventus and will be desperate to avoid a similar situation with their star player.

Aubameyang has been prolific in the Premier League since arriving from Borussia Dortmund in January 2018.

He has scored 61 goals in 97 appearances, has quickly become a fan favourite and shared the Golden Boot last season with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.
