According to The Athletic, Arsenal have submitted an offer to Leeds United to sign Brazilian winger Raphinha, who is also being pursued by Barcelona and Chelsea. However, the bid from the north London giants is short of Leeds’ valuation, with the Yorkshire club likely to reject it right away.
The Brazilian joined Leeds United in 2020, arriving from French club Rennes and has become a fan favourite at Elland Road. He played an integral role in helping the Whites maintain their Premier League status in both seasons since their return to the top flight. Raphinha enjoyed a productive 2021/22 campaign, during which he managed to score 11 and assist three more goals in 35 league outings.

According to Fichajes, Arsenal and Manchester United could wage a battle for Corentin Tolisso’s signature. The French midfielder is available for a free transfer after his contract with Bayern Munich expired, and he remains an attractive option for many other clubs as well. Corentin Tolisso was primed for a massive career when he broke through the ranks at Lyon. He was considered one of the top talents to come out of the French giant’s academy, but his move to Bayern Munich has not gone to plan.

Arsenal don’t need to sign a midfielder and should focus on bringing in a centre-back and striker this summer, according to Bacary Sagna. The Gunners spent around £160million last summer on rebuilding their squad, with the new recruits helping them launch a challenge for the top four. The north London club are expected to bring in a number of new players again this summer, with a centre-forward thought to be top of the priority list.

BacarySagna scored once in 13 appearances for the French u-21 team over the course of a two-year period from 2004 to 2006. Sagna was part of the French squad to the 2006 edition of the UEFA European u-21 Championship.

Sagna had the chance of playing for Senegal, but he opted for France. According to him, he was contacted by Senegalese football officials when he started playing at French club Auxerre, but it was on the same day he had a game for the French u-21 team so he had to make a choice. BacarySagna had to choose either Senegal or France and he went on to pick France over Senegal. He had earlier wanted to play for Senegal at the age of 17, but the country's football officials didn't reply him.

Bacary Sagna has urged Arsenal to do ‘everything’ and retain Alexandre Lacazette, suggesting that a new contract should be on the cards. Alexandre Lacazette’s Arsenal future is up in the air, with his contract expiring in the summer. Arsenal are expected to sign a new forward in the summer, as Mikel Arteta wants a new way ahead. However, retaining the Frenchman also remains on the agenda for now.

William Saliba is likely to return to Arsenal in the summer following a successful loan spell at Marseille Bacary Sagna insists there is no rift in the relationship between William Saliba and Mikel Arteta and is confident his compatriot will thrive at Arsenal next season.

English Premier League club Arsenal are still in the hunt for a top striker this summer and they have been making a list of options to choose from. Their former player Bacary Sagna has urged them to take their time in their hunt for a new top signing instead of rushing things. Sagna has urged the Gunners to target a striker in the summer who can provide a ‘focal point’ up front like former Gunners centre-forward Olivier Giroud.

Former Arsenal and Manchester City defender Bacary Sagna has revealed what he thinks about his former side Arsenal selling star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the January winter transfer window. The striker was allowed to join BRcelija before the transfer deadline day and it caused quite a stir among Arsenal fans, with some questioning the club's decision to do that, while others backed tothe decision.

Sagna has backed Arsenal’s ‘strong’ decision to let Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leave the club in January. The Gabon international was stripped of the captaincy in December for his latest disciplinary breach, and didn’t play again for the Gunners after losing the armband. In the final stages of the January transfer window, Aubameyang’s contract was terminated by mutual consent, which later allowed him to later join Barcelona on a free transfer.

Bacary Sagna left Arsenal for Manchester City in 2014 in mysterious circumstances. The decision didn't go down well with the club faithful, as they lambasted his decision to trade Arsenal for another team in England. He was booed every time his city side visited the Emirates in the three years he spent at City.

Bacary Sagna went on to make 86 appearances for the Manchester side while adding a league cup to his name. Sagna's last appearance for Arsenal was in the Fa Cup final, which Arsenal won 3*2. It was the only trophy he won in seven years at the club. Rumors then were that he left Arsenal for financial reasons, after failing to reach an agreement with the club for an extension.

At the start of his football career, BacarySagna wanted to play for the Senegalese national team. The right-sided defender contacted the Senegalese football authorities at the age of 17 but they were not forthcoming. BacarySagna didn't get a reply and that left him disappointed. The Frenchman would later get an invitation from the Senegalese football authorities when he started playing for Auxerre in the French top flight.

Sagna was contacted by the Senegalese football authorities on the day of a game with the French u-21 team and he had to make a decision without much thinking time. In the end, he opted to stay with the French u-21 team whom he represented at the 2006 European u-21 Championship in Portugal.
