Initial talks are said to have taken place through intermediaries, with Forest also recently scouting Setford, according to Football Transfers. Setford has only played two games for the Arsenal first-team, but the 19-year-old has long looked like a big prospect ever since catching the eye at former club Ajax. The Netherlands-born England Under-21 international could do well to think about his future this summer, as he's currently third choice in goal for the Gunners behind David Raya and Kepa Arrizabalaga.

It's a tough one, he said when asked about his favourite team in the Premier League. I don't have a favourite team, but if there was one club I would love to play for it's Arsenal. He added: The way they play now, they have a great coach, they have a great system, and I think I would fit into it.

Arsenal and Liverpool are interested in signing the PSG attacker Bradley Barcola at the end of the season. The 23-year-old has struggled to secure regular opportunities at PSG and needs to leave the club to play more often. Moving to the Premier League would be ideal for him. Liverpool and Arsenal need more quality on the flanks, and the French International could be ideal for them.

Karl Etta Eyong has been linked with a move away from Levante, and the Spanish club is willing to sanction his departure. According to Ben Jacobs, Manchester United and Arsenal are showing significant' interest in the talented attacker, and it will be interesting to see if they are willing to make an official move in the summer. CSKA Moscow is interested in signing the player now and has submitted an offer in excess of 30 million.

Arsenal remain interested in signing Nico Williams from Athletic Club Bilbao during the summer transfer window. The 23-year-old has done well in La Liga and is also a target for Arsenal. He has a 100 million release clause in his contract, according to Fichajes, and it will be interesting to see whether Arsenal are prepared to pay up. It seems unlikely that the Spanish outfit will let him leave for a knockdown fee in the summer.

When he has played, however, Havertz has looked really impressive for Mikel Arteta's side, so it could be that he's been slightly undervalued as someone who could come in and make this team tick again. I would like to see Kai Havertz back, he's becoming maybe all too important because he's been injured again, Keown said on Premier League Productions, as quoted by the Metro.

Abe is very highly regarded at Anfield, according to the Athletic, with their piece stating: Those who have worked with him believe he has both the attitude and the application, as well as the talent, to make it at the highest level. Liverpool fans will undoubtedly hope that Abe will stay with them to continue his development, but it seems likely that he'll also have other offers.

It's a dream come true. Getting my debut is one thing and then scoring on my debut is another. Just so thankful, just so happy. As I was watching the game I saw the game becoming a bit tense and we had more control of the ball than before, so I knew that going into the last couple of minutes, it was going to be more end-to-end, so I just tried to do the best I can. Luckily, I scored.

England Under-16s manager Barry Lewtas has confirmed his squad for a mid-season trip to Turkey, where they will play a trio of matches in Antalya. Arsenal winger Ethan Nwaneri, currently on loan in Ligue 1 with managerless Marseille, has cause to celebrate. His younger brother, Emerson Nwaneri, has been included in the 22-man squad. Lewtas' team will play Denmark, France and Spain at the Emirhan Sport Complex in the last week of February and the younger Nwaneri is one of two Arsenal players making the trip.

Calafiori has been crucial this season for Arsenal Comfortable operating at left-back or as part of a back three, the 23-year-old offers tactical versatility, composure in possession and progressive passing from deep, traits highly valued in Arteta's system. When fit, Calafiori has slotted seamlessly into Arsenal's defensive framework. His ability to invert into midfield during build-up phases has mirrored the modern full-back role Arteta demands, while his defensive positioning and anticipation have strengthened the back line in high-pressure fixtures.

Arsenal's medical woes took center stage during their latest outing as concerns grow over the fitness of key defensive pillars. While the Gunners have maintained an impressive run of form, the physical toll of a relentless schedule is beginning to manifest in the dugout, leaving Mikel Arteta with significant tactical headaches ahead of a grueling run of fixtures.
