Tuesday's Arsenal transfer talk news roundup: Shkodran Mustafi, William Saliba, Calum Chambers

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Arsenal on Tuesday, September 22.

The summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Arsenal eye possible reinforcements.

The Gunners spent more than many expected last summer - most notably their club-record purchase of Nicolas Pepe - but were more reserved in January as they focused on bolstering their defensive options.

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

Tuesday morning's Arsenal transfer talk news roundup:


Shkodran Mustafi's Arsenal exit 'gaining momentum'

Arsenal are reportedly prepared to part ways with defender Shkodran Mustafi before the end of the summer transfer window.

Before suffering a season-ending injury during the FA Cup semi-final win over Manchester City, Mustafi had reestablished himself as a first-team player at the Emirates Stadium.

However, William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes have since linked up with Mikel Arteta's squad, pushing the Germany international down the pecking order.

According to Laziosiamonoi, Lazio are 'gaining momentum' in their efforts to sign the player for a fee between £10.8m and £13.5m.

Napoli have also been linked with an approach for the 28-year-old, who remains sidelined with a thigh injury.

Mustafi has less than a year remaining on his contract at the North London side.



Report: Arsenal open to Calum Chambers exit amid Newcastle United interest

Arsenal are prepared to sell Calum Chambers to Newcastle United for a fee of £12m, according to a report.

The Gunners have strengthened at the back this year with the arrivals of Pablo Mari, William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes.

Mikel Arteta is looking to trim his squad and Chambers, who is currently nursing a long-term knee injury, is one of those deemed surplus to requirements.

Newcastle are eager to bring in the Englishman, but The Mirror suggests that they are unlikely to match Arsenal's asking price.

The Magpies would instead rather take Chambers on loan for the 2020-21 campaign, it is claimed, despite the fact that he is nursing an injury issue.
