Arsenal target Hato
Arsenal have joined the transfer war for Ajax star Jorrel Hato ahead of the summer window.
According to TEAMtalk, the Gunners have joined Liverpool in the bidding war for Hato.
The left-back has three years left on his contract, therefore the Dutch outfit will not be keen to sell this summer.
The Netherlands international is not expected to be cheap if he is allowed to leave Amsterdam.
Mikel Arteta successor?
Former Premier League star Dietmar Hamman has stated Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso should replace Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta.
There is a decision coming for Xabi Alonso and it looks like he wants to stay at Bayer Leverkusen for another year, which I didn’t think was possible just a few months ago.
He has said in the past that he would like to manage one of his former clubs and there is also a heavy link to Bayern Munich as well as Liverpool and Real Madrid, it’s all down to timing.
I think he felt Jurgen Klopp’s footsteps were too big to fill at Liverpool last summer, Arne Slot is doing well now and Carlo Ancelotti can choose when he leaves Real Madrid.
Can I see him at Arsenal? There might be a time when he wants to leave where it will become an option…

Arsenal’s Real boost
Arsenal could be set for a major Champions League boost as Real Madrid face being without four stars for the first leg of the quarter-finals.
Superstar strikers Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior as well as former Chelsea ace Antonio Rudiger and ex-Gunner Dani Caballos face an official Uefa probe for allegedly making obscene gestures after their victory over Atletico Madrid in the Last-16.
Vinicius was the most high-profile case as he reportedly took six “shots” at Atletico supporters during and after the clash at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.
Rudiger, on the other hand, was accused of making a throat-slitting gesture to Atleti supporters.
Ceballos, who spent two years at Arsenal before his return to Madrid in 2021, is accused of making an obscene one-armed gesture with a clenched fist.
And Mbappe was reported for touching his genitals in a clearly derogatory manner.
