Here is a roundup of the top Arsenal news, gossip and transfer speculation from icfootballnews featuring the likes of Morgan Rodgers, Ben White and Anthony Gordon that you may have missed…
Stan Collymore is concerned that Aston Villa may be forced to sell Morgan Rogers in the summer due to PSR problems, with reports the likes of ARSENAL, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City are all eyeing up the lad.
According to many reports, all the big clubs have set their sights on potential transfer deals for two of England’s top young talents in the form of Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers.
Rogers has developed into one of the most talented attacking midfielders in the Premier League after he made the decision to leave Manchester City on a permanent basis, and is now worth well over £100 million.
Now – amid all the speculation and rumours – Collymore has opened up and claimed that Aston Villa could be forced into selling Rodgers: “I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he has big parts to play in [World Cup] games and wouldn’t be at all surprised if Villa are fielding offers of £70, 80 [million], plus add-ons, plus players going the other way because Villa obviously need players because of PSR compliance,” he told GOAL.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if he is one of the big summer targets.”
IcFootballnews Says…
Rodgers is brilliant on the ball and so tough to take it from him, he is a great player for Aston Villa and they will not want to lose a player that is so dangerous against pretty much any defence.
Villa do have some financial issues, but they will not want to start letting their best players go, otherwise it will be a step back from all the hard work from the past few seasons.
And to be honest, Rodgers is very happy at Villa right now and will not want to leave the club.
So if big clubs do come calling, he may nota even fancy that move away from Villa
WHITE TO FORCE MOVE?
Ben White would jump at the chance to join Liverpool from ARSENAL should the Reds look to strengthen their defence in the January transfer window, according to Danny Murphy.
The versatile defender has been a crucial part in the Gunners’ development under Mikel Arteta but he has been reduced to a bit-part role over the course of the last 18 months.

That has led to speculation in the media that he could be one player that departs the Emirates, and White has been linked with a move to Everton in the last 24 hours, but reports suggest that ARSENAL do not want to sell.
However – amid that speculation – Murphy believes the player might force his club’s hand were Liverpool to register interest – He told BoyleSports: ‘Ben White to Liverpool would make sense but ARSENAL might not want to sell to a rival.
‘It would depend on how adamant the player is that he wants to go. If Ben White was an option, I think that would be a good option for Liverpool.
‘I think he’s a really good footballer, he’s a big lad. Yes, he’s had a couple of injury problems recently, but he’s an experienced guy, he’s played a lot of games and he can play centre-back and right-back.
‘The obvious good thing for Liverpool would be in that negotiation, if that was something that was to materialise, would be that any player would rather go to Liverpool than Everton, I’m not saying that because I’m a Red, I’m saying that because Liverpool are competing for the Champions League, you know, still in the top four, still in the FA Cup.
‘Whereas Everton are obviously out of the FA Cup, they’re not competing for European competitions.
‘I wouldn’t see why if LIVERPOOL were keen, then why he wouldn’t try and force that move, having said that I’d find it strange to think that Arsenal would let him go. Or they might just think they’re too far ahead of Liverpool anyway, so we’ll have to see how that plays out.’
ARSENAL WANTS GORDON
Arsenal look to have rekindled their interest in Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon, it has been claimed in the media as the Gunners continue to be linked with players that could improve the side.
ARSENAL have been talked about alot over the past couple of weeks, as they have constantly been linked with some big players with reports suggesting that Mikel Arteta may want to add a couple of stars to the side before the close of the transfer window.

Arsenal are sitting top of the Premier League, playing some great football and also have one of the best squads in the League, but Arteta knows that there is alot more games to play before the title is one and a few injuries would scupper their campaign.
Links between the Gunners and the England international have resurfaced in the last 24 hours or so as Mikel Arteta looks to further strengthen his formidable attacking options in north London.
Arsenal were mentioned in connection with Gordon last summer, having been said to have expressed an interest along with the likes of Spain star Nico Williams.
IcFootballnews View…
If Arsenal are interested in getting Gordon from Newcastle, it cant be for the JANUARY window, the Toon will not sell one of their star players at this stage of the season and only something crazy will get a deal done.
Add that to the fact Gordon would be going from a regular starter to sitting on the bench at the Emirates, is it really a move that he needs to make at this stage of his career?
This is one of those rumours that come about every transfer window, we cant see him joining ***ARSENAL***unless he is guaranteed a starting spot, which he knows wont happen with all the quality that is already at the Emirates.
