According to RAC1 (Reliable), Arsenal & Barcelona are talking about a loan deal for Coutinho with both clubs sharing paying his wages.

Real Madrid are very close to giving the "OK" for Dani Ceballos to stay at Arsenal for another season. Only a refusal by the player to return to another Spanish team would change that. ( @Dvinuesa)

Arsenal target Wilfried Zaha’s hopes of a summer move may rest on Crystal Palace listening to offers of a loan with an obligation to buy at the end of next season. The transfer market has been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic & spending is expected to drop. ( @mcgrathmike)

Wilfried Zaha has previously spoken about his ambitions of competing at the highest level of club football, while Arsenal may not be at Europe’s top table but they are Zaha’s boyhood team. ( @mcgrathmike)

Chelsea and Barcelona have made formal contract offers for Willian. The Catalan club are understood to have fulfilled Willian’s request for a three-year deal.

Arsenal remain keen on the 31-year old and could still play a major part in this transfer saga. ( @SkySportsNews)

Arsenal and Liverpool are chasing Portugal U18 goalkeeper Ricardo van der Laan. The 17-year-old, who currently plays for Belenenses, is highly regarded in Portugal & has already already featured on the bench for the senior side. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8577119/Liverpool-Arsenal-battle-sign-Portugal-18s-goalkeeper-Ricardo-van-der-Laan.html

Brighton are eyeing Arsenal's Ainsley Maitland-Niles for a summer move. ( @MirrorSport)

Dayot Upamecano, who has been linked with Arsenal, Bayern has extended his contract until 2023. According to BILD information, a release clause of up to €50m has been inserted into his new contract, it comes into effect next summer. ( @BILD)

There's a one-year option to extend Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's contract by 12 months but not only would triggering the clause see his current £180,000-a-week wages go up dramatically, a £20m package. No wonder Arsenal would rather renegotiate his current deal. ( @MirrorFootball)

Dr Erkut Sogut (Mesut Özil’s agent): “I do not think there will be a change in the case of Mesut Özil until the summer of 2021. He has a contract. There is no change. He will remain in Arsenal.”

Dr Sogut (Mesut Özil’s agent): “90 percent, [Özil] will leave Arsenal in 2021. Mesut to Asia, America or Turkey? Yes, maybe.”

Granit Xhaka on if Arsenal are no longer a top club: "What kind of question is that? Arsenal is & remains a legendary club. For many young players, but also for me, it is a dream, indeed an honour, to be allowed to appear"

Xhaka: "I see the club, not least with Mikel Arteta, well positioned for the future & I am sure that the Gunners will attack European football again soon"

Xhaka on Arteta: "He convinced me to stay with Arsenal. We had a very good conversation shortly after his appointment, & I can really only say positive things about him. He is a young, very meticulous trainer. He is really a great guy as a coach, but also as a person"

Xhaka: "I have already learned a lot from him [Arteta] during the time he is with us. Many details that have made me even better. So it's really a pleasure to be able to play as a coach under him"

Emi Martinez: "It was a bit emotional [when the final whistle went in the semi-final]. Not because we beat City, who for me are one of the best teams in Europe right now, but more because of how much I have been fighting to play in a final with the club I love."

Emi Martinez: "We came from a poor, poor family. I remember the day that me and my brother ate and not my mum and dad. I was living in Buenos Aires and I would only see them twice a month, when I travelled, because they couldn't afford petrol to go & see me."

Martinez on his future: "My agent called me the other day & said ‘what do you think about next season?’ But I dont want to talk about that. I have a cup final to play & need to go into the game with a clear mind. Let me win the trophy & after that you can ask me about my future"

Martinez: "Nobody wants to be a second goalkeeper, especially if you believe in yourself as much as I do. I had offers to leave last summer but I always put Arsenal first & I wasn’t going to go out on loan any more"

Cesc Fabregas on the FA Cup final: "My heart belongs to both clubs. I know it sounds politically correct but it is what I feel. When I was with Arsenal, I never believed I could feel what I did towards Chelsea. But this is the beauty of football & this is what happened with me"

Cesc Fabregas: "If I have to predict a winner, it will be Chelsea because of their experience & players. But Arsenal could be the underdog and have a chance"

Christian Pulisic on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang: "He is incredible, the way he gets in good areas. He's always dangerous, so we are definitely going to have to be cautious of that, & they have some other good players. But he is definitely one guy that you have to look out for"
