Plenty of Arsenal news doing the rounds today (2nd July) so I've done a quick thread to keep you guys up to date just in case you missed any Arsenal news today.

If you're an Arsenal fan, please give this a read as it'll inform you on all the latest Arsenal news.

"Thomas Partey is prepared to come to Arsenal" (Reliable Spanish Footbal expert: @BumperGraham)

Gabriel Martinelli is expected to sign a new deal at Arsenal. ( @TimesSport)

"Guendouzi I think will be sold. I'll be surprised if he's not now. He's only got 2 years left on his contract, he isn't responding in the way Arteta wants. If Arsenal are going to sell it will be this summer, he's someone you expect they'll get good money for." ( @charles_watts)

"I would not be surprised if Lacazette gets sold, especially if they can convince Aubameyang to stay. They will see it as an opportunity to get some money in, he only has 2 years left on his contract, so something has got to happen with Lacazette." ( @charles_watts)

Mikel Arteta wants to sell Guendouzi & potentially Torreira to reshape his midfield. Arsenal have had talks with Thomas Partey & there is the potential to use Alexandre Lacazette as a bargaining chip in a swap deal. ( @TimesSport)

Henrikh Mkhitaryan is set to move to Roma on a free transfer, saving the club £10m in salary, & ideally Mesut Özil, who earns £350,000 a week, would follow him out of the club. Dominik Szoboszlai is a target. ( @TimesSport)

Mikel Arteta on interest in Thomas Partey: “I cannot talk about being interested in any players that are playing in any team that is not ours, sorry.”

Mikel Arteta on Arsenal's transfer business: “I’m very clear. I have a very clear plan and the specificity of the players, the positions & squad balance that we need to compete with the rest of the top teams in the country.”

Mikel Arteta on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang signing a new contract: "Its the way I feel, the way I communicate with him, the conversations that I have with him, the people around him & it’s the energy that I sense"

Arteta: "I feel that he wants to continue with us & keep developing & helping us to be a better team. He’s very settled in the city, his family are really happy here & he’s loved, respected & admired by his teammates which is a huge thing to have in any football club"

Mikel Arteta: “We cannot be a team that has to sell his best player to try to bring in and improve our squad, that's for sure.”

Héctor Bellerín on Aubameyang scoring 50 goals in the Premier League for Arsenal: “I think the stats speak for themselves. It is very hard nowadays to get a striker that can score that many goals in that many games. We are very happy to have him.”

Hector Bellerín on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang: “He has proved that he is also working really hard, because some of the goals he scored comes from the hard work the whole team is doing on the pitch, from pressing really high.”

Héctor Bellerin: “For us, that has been the goal [Champions League] since the beginning of the season and obviously, coming back from lockdown that has always been our goal.“

Héctor Bellerin: “It wasn’t the best of starts to our Premier League return, but we have been working really hard through the whole of quarantine - not just physically but tactically as well.”

Cedric Soares: “Arsenal kept confidence in me and I want to give it all back to the club and to the fans as well. What I can guarantee is that I will give my 100% in every game.”

Cedric Soares: “To be able to play for Arsenal in Emirates Stadium and add a goal, of course I feel very happy. I need to thank all my colleagues, they helped me during this time. You saw the reaction, they were happy. They were supporting me I'm very thankful for that.”

Mikel Arteta will ask Santi Cazorla to be a member of the coaching staff at some point in the future. They understand football the same way, they love working with eachother. ( @GuillemBalague)

Mikel Arteta’s voice carries weight with transfers but its not clear if he has the power of veto over any signings. Arteta did want Luiz & Cedric & pushed to sign Pablo Marí. But the concern is that, for a number of reasons, he may be shopping in a limited market. ( @TimesSport)

Edu, in particular, is understood to have close relations with the super-agent Kia Joorabchian. This transfer strategy represents a clear shift from the days of Arsène Wenger, who rarely dealt with the biggest agents in the final ten years of his reign. ( @TimesSport)

Granit Xhaka, who could have left the club in January after he was stripped of the captaincy following a spat with supporters, has improved his relationship with both the club & its fans & is now a player Arteta counts on. ( @TimesSport)

Arsenal have tried and failed to shift Mesut Ozil in the past year & he has said he wants to see out the last year of his contract. Moving to the US in the future seems an obvious destination & his reps had talks with DC United. ( @TimesSport)

Mikel Arteta's relationship with Matteo Guendouzi began badly & has barely improved since some coaches were unhappy with his attitude during training in Dubai in February. There were also issues during the discussions about players talking about a wage cut in April. ( @TimesSport)
