Catch all the latest Arsenal news, including updates on Roberto Firmino transfer, Takehiro Tomiyasu injury and Robin van Persie.
Arsenal are gearing up for another Premier League clash as they take on West Ham in London derby action.
The Gunners head into it knowing they can close the gap on league leaders Liverpool – who dropped points to Aston Villa in midweek.
So with that said, here’s a look at the biggest Arsenal news ahead of another busy day.
Fabrizio Romano gives update on Roberto Firmino to Arsenal
Arsenal have been linked with a surprise transfer for former Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino on a free switch.
The forward could leave Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Ahli after being omitted from their squad for the remainder of the league campaign.
With that possibility, and a potential switch to Arsenal as a result, Fabrizio Romano has given an update on the situation.
He told GiveMeSport: “He’s still not leaving Al Ahli now, as the Saudi club insists to continue until the summer as they can use him in the Asian Champions League. Let’s see what happens if they change their stance.”

Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu has undergone surgery after suffering continual problems with his knee this campaign.
The versatile star has featured for just six minutes this campaign, with his injuries keeping him out for several different periods.

It suggests that the Japanese international will now be out for the remainder of the season, heading into the next campaign too.

Robin van Persie linked with Feyenoord management job
Former Arsenal striker Robin van Persie has been linked with a new management job after less than a year in a senior capacity.
The ex-forward has been the head coach at Heerenveen in the Eredivisie since last summer, guiding the club to mid-table so far.
However, according to 1908, Van Persie is being eyed up as an option to take the currently vacant job at Feyenoord.
It would see him return to one of his first clubs as a player as well as a place he has honed his career in coaching with the youth team.
Arsenal could come up against Feyenoord in the Champions League, lining up a potentially tasty clash in the competition and a return for the striker.
