Hi Ed, have Xhaka agreed terms with Roma? If yes has Arsenal already have a replacement inline, discounting all the rumours, are we close to signing a replacement if that's their plan?

{Ed002's Note - Roma have made what I understand is a third offer for Xhaka which his agent's lawyer has suggested should be acceptable to Arsenal. I don't really understand the next bit of the question, but assuming it means "have Arsennal found a replacement, the answer is no but the club has options they are considering and a preferred option as has been explained.}

Thanks. Now just fishing for some concrete info among all the rumours. So, rather than vague questions could you provide an update, new info since you last reported on the below players?

Yves Bissouma
Noussair Mazraoui
Achraf Hakimi
André Onana
Edmond Tapsoba
Albert Sambi Lokonga
Tosin Adarabioyo
Nicolo Barella

Oh and is there any bonus/ surprise info you can give, something no one has asked about?

Appreciate it!

Bissouma is an option; Hakimi is too expensive; Onana we are pushing for a deal and not sure about the other players.

Tosin apparently has a 10m release clause or something. If true we had been liked with him. Also hearing we are looking at a young Brazilian rb named vanderson. Although must admit I've no idea on who he is or what he is like.

Well they’re players and the transfer market is open and we don’t know the club’s actual list of transfer targets. People tend to ask about a player base on what they have heard, read or if they like the player.
