Hello and welcome to the **football.london** blog, covering all the latest Arsenal news and transfer gossip on Friday, May 16.
It's the penultimate weekend of the Premier League and despite conceding the title to Liverpool, the Gunners still have something to play for. Mikel Arteta's men could still end the season outside the Champions League places, should they lose their next two games and the teams below be perfect.
However, that remains highly unlikely. Arsenal host Newcastle, who are third, on Sunday looking to cement their spot in second. Away from the action, transfer silly season is here and a number of players have been linked with joining Arteta's squad.
Viktor Gyokeres remains a priority target for Andrea Berta with just £60million needed to prise him away from Lisbon. Arteta and Berta are preparing a huge transfer window at the Emirates Stadium. As well as Martin Zubimendi and a new striker, the Spaniard wants to add a winger.
Newcastle United's Anthony Gordon has emerged as a shock candidate this week. There has also been constant links with Nico Williams, who has been superb for Athletic Bilbao in the last 24 months.
Players like Thomas Partey, Jakub Kiwior and Kieran Tierney are all wanted away from the club, so there's plenty to dig your teeth into.
