Arsenal Transfer News: Liverpool's rival £21m bid, midfielder talks underway, Cavani plea

Marcelo Brozovic is in talks over a move to Arsenal

 

NEWS NEWS BLOG SPORT brings you the latest transfer news coming out of the Emirates.

 

Liverpool are reportedly prepared to hijack Arsenal’s interest in Lucas Moura.

The Gunners however have a crippling injury list and they have set their sights on the winger.

Arsene Wenger is thought to be preparing a £21.8m bid for the Brazilian, but the Reds, who are closing in on a move for Red Star Belgrade youngster Marko Grujic, want Moura too.

The Sun claim Jurgen Klopp will make a formal approach for Moura next month, and a bid is expected to be lodged.

 

Inter Milan star Marcelo Brozovic has already held exploratory talks with Arsenal, according to interest.

Brozovic has been scouted on a number of occasions by the Gunners as they seek to strengthen their midfield.

Italian news outlet Tutto Mercato claim talks have taken place between Arsenal and the player, but a deal isn’t thought to be close.

Brozovic has become surplus to requirements at Inter, managing just 13 appearances this season.

 

Arsenal are keen on Lucas Moura

 

Edison Cavani has been urged to reject the chance to move to the Premier League.

The 28-year-old has been continually linked with a move to England’s top flight, with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United long-term admirers.

But Forlan, who had a nightmare two-year spell with United, thinks Cavani is better off staying put at Paris Saint-Germain.

 

“He's in a great moment in a great team. They're winning, they're fighting in every tournament,” Forlan told Omnisport.

“It's not easy leaving a place where one feels comfortable, where one has the opportunity to play lots of matches, being the top scorer, leaving that for another team and to change all over again.”
