The summer transfer window is almost open for Arsenal to embark on a big deal after their Premier League title challenge.

Here is your latest update from Arsenal transfer news and rumors…
Edmond Tapsoba
Bayer Leverkusen have reportedly priced star defender Tabsopa’s summer sale after their run to the Europa League semi-finals.
The Burkina Faso international has attracted interest from many clubs, including Arsenal and Tottenham.
fabrice romano claimed the two north London clubs had recently scouted Tapsoba, with a “huge” offer of around £61m required for a defender whose game is on par with England’s John Stones.

A £14.7m bid has been floated by Arsenal for Galatasaray right-back Boey, according to reports in Turkey.
With Takehiro Tomiyasu injured until later in the year, the job could become an area the Gunners are looking for a beneficial addition to bolster their squad – but Boey is reportedly valued at £21million.
Turkish outlet Aksam wrote earlier in the year that Arsenal are vying with Aston Villa and Brighton for the 22-year-old Frenchman, who recently changed agents to intensify speculation over his future.

Arsenal have been given a boost in the pursuit of Montpellier striker Elye Wahi.
French club president Laurent Nicollin has opened the door to selling the 20-year-old with Liverpool, Tottenham and Newcastle also said to be keen to talk about a £50m valuation.
“Elye has a price,” Nicollin said. “If he finds an offer that suits him and that suits us, he will leave. In the event of Elye’s departure, our priority is to recruit a centre-forward and then we will see if we need to complete the squad.
