Catch all the latest Arsenal news and updates, with stories on Morgan Gibbs-White, Alexis Sanchez and academy message.
Morgan Gibbs-White to Arsenal transfer latest
Arsenal have been given a clear stance from Nottingham Forest over the future of attacking midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White.
It comes as the Gunners look to bolster their forward ranks this summer, with Mikel Arteta looking at more firepower for the Premier League season ahead.
With the sale of Emile Smith Rowe to Fulham now complete, the north London outfit may now turn towards versatile options in the transfer market.
Gibbs-White is one of those players who has been linked with a switch to Arsenal, following an impressive few seasons at Nottingham Forest after leaving Wolves.
An attacking midfielder, the 24-year-old has been a talismanic presence for Forest in their attempts to avoid relegation.
However, according to Arsenal Insider sources, Nottingham Forest are under no pressure to sell Gibbs-White this summer and are not open to a sale.
The East Midlands outfit have faced pressure before through financial concerns, but it appears as though they are capable of keeping their best players in the squad.

Alexis Sanchez set for former club return
Former Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez looks poised to make his return to a former club he once played for this summer.
The Chile international was a fan favourite at the Emirates Stadium, before his infamous move to Manchester United.
The 35-year-old played 166 matches for the Gunners, scoring 80 goals and assisting 43 to his teammates in that time.
With magical feet and feint body movements, Sanchez quickly became renowned as one of the best forwards in the world.
However, with his move to Man United, the Chilean struggled to hit the heights, leaving in 2020 to bounce between Inter Milan and Olympique Marseille.
With the forward now a free agent, it appears as though a move to a former club could well be on the cards.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Sanchez has been offered a move to Udinese, his first club when moving over to Europe.
While the ex-Arsenal man is yet to make his decision, it appears as though a move could well be on the horizon.

Mikel Arteta sent Arsenal academy warning
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has been sent a clear warning over his use of academy stars for the season ahead, with a Premier League title push on the cards.
The Gunners are facing a dilemma when it comes to earning results and giving their talented youth stars a chance to shine.
The likes of Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe and Eddie Nketiah have all made their way through the system to become stars.
However, with the growing pressure to win titles, there appears less opportunity to integrate these youngsters and find their talent.
While that dilemma is ongoing, former Chelsea defender Scott Minto has sent a clear warning to Arteta about the situation.
“Arsenal now, and Mikel Arteta in particular, are so close to winning this Premier League title,” he told TalkSPORT. “It may sound harsh, but he can’t worry about bringing young players in and giving them time to bed in in the first team.
“If they’re not almost immediately good enough, he cannot risk bringing these players in.
“I think it’d be really harsh if they don’t win the title again this season, then people will call him a failure, but people will, and he’s up against arguably the greatest club side this country has ever seen, arguably.
“So, he’s only got to think about the here and now.”
