For May 11, here is your morning Arsenal digest.
Leverkusen manager avoids talking about Xhaka
Simon Rolfes, the manager of Bayer Leverkusen, has been mum over reports that Granit Xhaka may join the Bundesliga team. The long-time Arsenal midfielder has been linked to Leverkusen in German reports.
The allegations center on Xhaka's wife, who reportedly wants to return to Germany, where the 30-year-old most recently played for Borussia Monchengladbach. Kicker claims that Edu, the sporting director at Arsenal, has even cut the midfielder's asking price.
Rolfes, who does the same duties at Leverkusen, has refrained from commenting on the rumors. Xhaka's contract currently has 14 months left, but the Gunners have the option to extend it by an additional year.
Rumors are constant, Rolfes told German media. "We are examining the market, but I won't say anything about that. Our team has to be fundamentally improved. Changes are coming, and we want to give things a boost.
Arsenal move is rumored for the Barcelona wonderkid.
Sport in Spain reports that Arsenal is pondering a transfer for Barcelona youngster Ilias Akhomach. When his contract expires with the Catalan giants in the upcoming weeks, the 19-year-old is anticipated to quit them.
Cesc Fabregas and Hector Bellerin were well-known in north London as a result of earlier attacks on Barcelona's youth program. Akhomach is allegedly dissatisfied with his meager three first-team appearances and believes his future lies elsewhere.
After director of football Victor Orta departed the organization, Leeds United was mentioned as a potential shock destination, but that talk has died down. Akhomach, who is mostly a winger, can play anywhere along the frontline.
As a result, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard, and Reiss Nelson will all be vying for those open spots, making the struggle for positions just as fierce. It is also rumored that Sevilla and AC Milan are considering the wonderkid.
Martin Zubimendi makes his position known.
Martin Zubimendi, a midfielder for Real Sociedad, has denied rumors that he would sign for Arsenal this summer.
Zubimendi stated to Marca, "I have never planned to quit Real Sociedad.
I'm very content here, at home, and I adore my life. I feel really good since this club shares my values, as I have already stated, and I'm glad.
