One Gunner set to leave the Emirates is Andrey Arshavin, with Qatari side Al-Sadd hoping to beat Zenit St. Petersburg to the signature of the 31-year-old (Daily Mail).
Elsewhere, Liverpool’s player of the season Martin Skrtel’s contract negotiations have stalled, with Manchester City and Zenit St. Petersburg showing interest in the defender (The Times).
Chelsea are closing in on signing Eden Hazard’s younger brother Thorgan, with the 19-year-old set to move to Stamford Bridge from the Ligue 2 club for around �1million (Metro).
