Aubameyang is expected to earn more than £300,000 a week including bonus payments in his proposed new contract. Arsenal are open to selling Lacazette to Spanish or Italian clubs. Club offered Willian a three-year deal and keen on signing Coutinho on loan. ( @TimesSport)

Arsenal are ready to offer a three-year deal for Willian and have discussed potential deal with Kia Joorabchian. The player is confident of securing a rise on his current £120,000 per week wages should he move across London ( @AdrianJKajumba)

Willian has refused another bid from Chelsea to extend his contract until June 2022. Arsenal are now in talks with his representatives to sign him as a free agent. ( @FabrizioRomano)

Willian has been on Arsenal's list of targets for some time & Mikel Arteta has asked for him to be signed, with the club keen to deliver. ( @David_Ornstein)

Arsenal’s offer will not be the most rewarding option on the table financially for Willian but it would be the most enticing from a football perspective. The vision & desire of Mikel Arteta & Edu to bring him to the club has impressed Willian. ( @David_Ornstein)

Willian’s future should be in London, but not at Chelsea. Arsenal hope to announce him in the ‘coming days’. ( @brunovicari - ESPN Brazil)

In recent days, Manchester United & Manchester City made contact with Willian’s representatives, but the longer contract offered by Arsenal made him make his choice. Willian will not play for Chelsea again. ( @brunovicari)

Kia (agent) on Willian: ‘Physically he’s in great condition and he’s always kept himself at a very high level. He’s playing at the top of his game with Chelsea. He’s always going to give you a straight eight to 10 out of 10, every game he plays he’s going to give you everything

Kia (Willian’s agent): ‘He’s never had any, touch wood and I don’t want to jinx it, injury issues so there’s no reason why he can’t play for another four or five years if he wants to.’

‘Philippe Coutinho has been offered to Arsenal, and other Premier League clubs, and is another possible signing for Arsenal. Barcelona want a loan fee of £9m and half of the Brazilian’s £240,000-a-week wage to be paid for a deal to get done.’ ( @sr_collins)

Barcelona are hoping to strike a deal with the Gunners which would see Coutinho return to the Premier League, most likely on loan. ( @charles_watts)

Discussions will be had with Lacazette, who is now into the final two years of his deal. Arteta is an admirer of the forward, but a decision must now be made on whether to offer the 29-year-old a new contract or try to move him on to help fund a rebuild. ( @charles_watts)

Juventus have started discussions with Arsenal for striker Alexandre Lacazette & have been in contact with the player’s representatives & his club for several days. ( @AlexisBernard10)

With Arsenal ‘counting’ on him & being under contract under 2022, Lacazette is not sure if he will be allowed to leave, but the prospect of a new challenge appeals to him, more so Juventus, to play with Ronaldo & Dybala & players close to him, Matuidi & Ramsey.( @AlexisBernard10)

According to @abolapt, Arsenal made a €20m offer for Joelson, which was almost immediately turned down by Sporting Lisbon. The Portuguese side are holding out for €45m, which is the player's release clause.

Arsenal are perfectly aware of Sporting's delicate financial situation &, at this moment, they are testing the patience & resistance of Sporting with offers below €45m. ( @abolapt)

Folarin Balogun is attracting interest from Liverpool, Southampton & Brentford, as well as others in England, while there is strong interest Stuttgart & multiple other clubs in Germany. Balogun will leave Arsenal this summer & they want a fee in the region of £8m. ( @Podcast_TBG)

Arsenal will try to capitalise on their FA Cup triumph by accelerating efforts to make signings & tie down Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang & Emiliano Martinez to new deals. ( @TimesSport)

Mikel Arteta wants to switch to a 4-3-3 system next season & is keen on Philippe Coutinho (28), Thomas Partey (27) & Willian (31) to add experience to help the younger players. ( @TimesSport)

Arsenal will step up their recruitment plans after victory in the FA Cup final brought some much-needed clarity to their financial situation, with Sevilla defender Diego Carlos one of their potential targets. ( @TelegraphSport)

Wilshere on Aubameyang: "I was there when he signed & from the first training session, you knew that he was world class. He scores goals with his left & right foot, he can beat a man. I was lucky enough to play with a few players like that, but he was one of the best"

Wilshere: "If I was in his shoes? Arsenal’s a massive club. He’s the captain, the fans love him, he’s got the respect of the whole club. If I was him I’d stay, but it’s easy for me to say that"
