Monday's Arsenal transfer talk news roundup: Odsonne Edouard, David Luiz, Alexandre Lacazette

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Arsenal on Monday, February 15.

The January transfer window has now closed, leaving Arsenal to begin looking forward to the summer for their next round of recruitment.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings at the Emirates Stadium.

Monday morning's Arsenal transfer talk news roundup:


Arsenal 'quoted £15m for Celtic's Odsonne Edouard'

Arsenal could reportedly land Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard for a reasonable figure of £15m in the summer transfer window.

The 23-year-old has less than 18 months left to run on his existing deal with the Scottish champions, and Celtic could look to recoup a fee for him this year rather than risk losing him for nothing in 2022.

Arsenal have been linked with a move for Edouard since last summer and are expected to step up their pursuit this time around, with the futures of Alexandre Lacazette, Eddie Nketiah and Folarin Balogun all uncertain.

According to The Express, Celtic may be willing to accept a figure of £15m due to Edouard's contract situation, and a new forward is a priority for Mikel Arteta ahead of the 2021-22 campaign.

The former Paris Saint-Germain youngster has already scored 19 goals in all competitions this season, and a brace against St Johnstone - which led Neil Lennon to claim that he is back to his best - marked his eighth goal in six league matches.

West Ham United have also been credited with an interest in the France Under-21s international.



Arsenal to reward David Luiz with new contract?

Arsenal defender David Luiz could reportedly be in line for a one-year contract extension at the Emirates Stadium.

Despite making a number of high-profile errors in red and white, Mikel Arteta has not lost faith in Luiz and he remains a first-team regular even after the arrival of Gabriel Magalhaes.

The former Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain centre-back is also known to be a respected character in the dressing room, and Arteta has supposedly been impressed at how Luiz has taken the youngsters under his wing.

Luiz's deal in North London runs out this summer and he has been widely tipped to leave, but according to The Independent, Arteta wants to keep him on the books for the 2021-22 campaign.

Furthermore, having lost Shkodran Mustafi, Mesut Ozil and Sokratis for nothing in January, Arteta is reportedly desperate not to let Luiz also walk away for free in this period of financial uncertainty.

The 33-year-old has played the full 90 minutes in five of Arsenal's last seven Premier League matches, including Sunday's thrilling 4-2 victory over Leeds United.
