Arsenal sit nine points clear at the top of the Premier League table after a 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday.
The Gunners struggled to break the Toffees down at The Emirates, but late goals from Viktor Gyokeres and Max Dowman earned Mikel Arteta’s side a crucial victory.
Dowman became the youngest scorer in Premier League history when he found the back of the net, with the win briefly extending Arsenal’s lead to ten points before Manchester City’s 1-1 draw against West Ham United.
Away from the action, it has emerged that Arsenal are one of a number of Premier League sides interested in an England international defender.
According to CaughtOffside, Arsenal are among the clubs to have been monitoring Newcastle United full-back Lewis Hall in recent months.
The report claims that the Gunners are joined by Premier League rivals Manchester City and Liverpool in showing interest in the left-back, who has been in fine form for the Magpies this term.
Hall, 21, joined Newcastle on loan from Chelsea back in 2023 before making his switch permanent the following year.

In total he has now made 94 appearances for Eddie Howe’s side across all competitions, and the defender has also forced his way into the England setup.
Hall has made two appearances for the Three Lions and is in contention to be included in Thomas Tuchel’s squad for the World Cup later this year, with left-back having become something of a problem area for England in recent years.
It is claimed that the interest in Hall isn’t limited to the Premier League, though, with German sides RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund also keeping tabs on the player, while several La Liga sides are also said to have shown interest.
