According to reports, Arsenal are planning to shock Leeds winger Willy Gnonto this summer.
Mikel Arteta is said to be looking for another wide player to help ease the burden on Bukayo Saka, who has been a big part of the Gunners' attack this season.
Meanwhile, Gnonto has emerged as a potential target, following Leeds' relegation to the Championship.
The 19-year-old was new to Elland Road last summer, signing for Swiss giants Zurich in a deal worth £3.8m.

He has displayed quality moments, scoring two goals and four assists in the Premier League, although he has struggled to earn regular appearances. And it looks like his Leeds career could be over before it even begins, with Arsenal among the clubs tipped to fight for his signature.
Gnonto at Arsenal?

According to Spanish newspaper Calcio Mercato, several 'big' teams in Serie A, including Juventus, are also very interested in Gnonto's service, saying it 'will not be an easy battle. '.
The publication added that Arsenal are "closely monitoring his situation" and "wait to understand" what Leeds will do with him this summer.
Indeed, there is no guarantee that Gnonto will leave the Peacocks, having signed a five-year contract less than 12 months ago. A separate report from TuttoMercatoWeb has suggested that the idea of ??the Italy international playing in the Championship next season is 'not too far-fetched'.

However, Sam Allardyce could struggle to keep him, with Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola 'crazy' about the player, according to the same report.
Admittedly, it seems unlikely that Guardiola will pursue the winger, with City having full force on both flanks.
But for now, Arsenal will be put on red alert, waiting to strike if Gnonto is present.

Romelu Lukaku and Megan Thee Stallion sent the football and music worlds crazy after they posed for pictures together at a wedding.
The Inter Milan star and the WAP singer were seen holding hands at teammate striker Lautaro Martinez's wedding to model Agustin Gandolfo.
It's an odd crossover, but it makes sense as both stars are signed under Jay-Z's Roc Nation management, and Megan was recently spotted in an Inter game.
They were filmed sitting next to each other at the wedding, and fans were quick to put the two together.

Although, the song was released back in 2020, so that may be a bit of a far fetch. It's been quite an important week for the Belgian striker - after seemingly going public with his relationship with the American rapper.

He has Man City in the Champions League, which will be one of the biggest games of his career.
And judging by his form, both on and off the pitch, he could have put on a stellar performance.
