Liverpool 'monitoring' shock Arsenal player ahead of transfer that would send one fanbase into total meltdown

Liverpool have already been active despite the transfer window having yet to officially open.
Liverpool are reportedly 'monitoring' an Arsenal star ahead of the summer transfer window amid doubts over his long-term future at the Emirates Stadium.
Arne Slot's Premier League champions are expected to spend big this summer after a quiet set of windows this term.
Fabrizio Romano reports that they have already agreed a deal to sign Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, triggering the right-back's €35 million release clause.
And Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez is expected to follow, with reports indicating that the Reds want to sign him on a permanent deal.
Florian Wirtz is also believed to be a target, with journalist Sacha Tavolieri claiming that the German midfielder has a preference to join Liverpool over Bayern Munich.

But a fourth transfer is reportedly under consideration - and it would stun the Premier League.
According to Graeme Bailey of TBR Football, Arsenal starlet Ethan Nwaneri has not committed to a new long-term deal at the Emirates Stadium.
It is claimed that his first professional contract, signed in 2023, only lasts until 2026 and that Arsenal are keen to discuss fresh terms before he enters the final year of his deal.
The report adds that one of Nwaneri's 'concerns' over signing that deal is his potential future playing time under current boss Mikel Arteta.
And Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City are 'aware' of the situation and could be preparing offers to tempt the 18-year-old away from north London.
He has scored nine goals in all competitions this season, including a superb brace in the 3-0 Carabao Cup win over Preston North End.
The Gunners academy graduate has been tipped to be a mainstay in Arsenal's starting XI for years to come.
But he has only made 10 Premier League starts this term and it remains to be seen whether his long-term future is at the club or elsewhere.
