Arsenal latest: Cesc Fabregas green light as European giants tracking Gunners star

Key updates regarding a current Arsenal forward and a Gunners legend are on the agenda as we round up the latest news coming out of the Emirates Stadium

Arsenal’s start to the new season has provided plenty of encouragement. But there are already signs that Mikel Arteta still has some work to do with his squad.

The Gunners have won seven of their first eight matches in all competitions, including a convincing 3-0 victory over Manchester City in the Community Shield. However, their perfect-looking record was dented by a shock 3-0 loss to Brighton before the international break, giving Arteta plenty to ponder ahead of Saturday’s return to Premier League action against Leeds.

While attention will understandably turn towards getting back to winning ways at the weekend, Arsenal’s longer-term plans are also beginning to take shape. The club allowed three forwards to leave during the summer but brought in only one replacement, leaving them looking somewhat light in attack.

And they could end up losing another forward in January, with two major European clubs reportedly monitoring the player. Here is a look at the latest news surrounding the Gunners.
