Arsenal -fans are waiting full of excitement for more news about transfer goals after they have seen the club do a number of deals -without delivering the striker they so desperately crave.

Gyokes pronounces

Arsenal has proposed a package of € 65 million (£ 56 million) plus future payments of € 5 million and € 10 million (£ 8.6 million) in add-ons, but a gap of € 5 million (£ 4.3 million) remains between the two clubs.
Gyokeres would be furious with sporty about their stubbornness and wants the situation to resolve as quickly as possible – with the player reportedly in strike prior to his expected return to the training for the season.
He has now given an interview to the French outlet L'Equipe who discussed his future – because he admitted that he would like to play in the Premier League after he had not reached the figure while he came to Brighton at the start of his career.
“It is one of the biggest competitions in Europe. I spent a few years there without playing a single game. So of course it is something that I would like to do. It would be big revenge!”
When asked if he could stop using, he replied: “Maybe. That is football, you never know. I don't think about it; we will see what happens. If something happens, it will. The most important thing for me is to play for a club that really wants me.”

“Noni is in contact with a new club,” said the Italian. “I think he's going to leave the next hours. I said in one of the last press conferences that if players want to leave at the end, it is difficult for the club and for the manager. Noni decided to leave, nobody told noni that he had to leave. If he is happy, we are happy.”
