Arsene in Pole for Grzegorz

Arsene Wenger’s eternal search for a defensive midfielder to supplement his squad has thrown up a new name.

Forget M’Vila, Sissokho, Schneiderlin and Carvalho – the nom du jour is Grzegorz Krychowiak.

The Times claim that the Sevilla midfielder has a £21m buyout clause in his contract, and Arsenal may just pounce.

Little Pea hard to shift

After a year of saying how much he loved Real Madrid as compared to life in Manchester, Javier Hernandez has changed his tune.

The Bernabeu club have decided not to exercise their option to sign Little Pea and that’s affected his thinking.

Marca report that the 27-year-old wants to revive his career at United, rather than leave for another club.

Gunners pursue Jackson

Back to Arsenal, because they earn their own damn money and haven’t got a ground to pay off anymore.

The Mirror reckon that Wenger quite fancies Porto’s in-demand Colombian forward Jackson Martinez.

But any deal is partly dependent on shifting Instagram king Lukas Podolski, which is easier said than done.
