Next up for Arsenal
Arsenal are next in action against Crystal Palace in ten days.
Petit blasts Marquinhos
Gunners icon Emmanuel Petit has slammed winger Marquinhos.
The Brazilian, 20, has spent this season on loan at Nantes.
Asked about his progress, Petit told Dazn Bet: “There is no progress with Marquinhos at all. Nothing, nothing happened. You know why? It’s funny because yesterday, the manager, he spoke to the press about Marquinhos. He said [they] are fed up with him.
“This guy, as soon as he came in August, he left to play with the Brazilian team at the tournament.
“He came back injured and then now he’s fit, he wants to play again at the Olympic tournament with his national team.
“So he played only seven games, he didn’t make any impact. It’s been six months at the club, seven games in six months, and now he wants to leave and play for the national team again.”
Palhinha admits he WILL leave Fulham
Chelsea and Arsenal target Joao Palhinha says he knows he WILL leave Fulham.
But the Portuguese ball-winner, 28, "feels the love" from Cottagers' fans and has set no timeline for his departure.
The former Sporting Lisbon midfielder has amassed incredible stats in his two years in England.
But Fulham persuaded Palhinha to sign a new contract last summer.
And he told Sky Sports in an interview with Jamie Redknapp: "I feel the love the supporters have for me.
"I know that some day I will leave Fulham.
"I want to give everything. I am always a 100% professional here."
Onana on backburner
Arsenal's interest in Amadou Onana is reportedly on the backburner - amid claims Douglas Luiz and Joao Palhinha are their preferred midfield targets.
Everton anchorman Onana, 22, was also linked to the Gunners last season.
But speaking on his his YouTube channel, journalist Charles Watts suggested there have been no recent "intensive talks" with Arsenal.
Watts said: "That’s not what I’m hearing, put it that way.
"Things could change, I would never sit here and rule it out, but I don’t think it’s as concrete as you may have thought."
5 Championship stars set for Prem
Hayden Hackney’s midweek winner against Chelsea makes the Middlesbrough winger the latest Championship star to be eyed by Championship giants.
But the England Under-21 star does NOT make our list of five scorching-hot hot second-tier prospects who could make the step up.
Here’s who we have picked:
Jobe Bellingham (Sunderland)
Conor Chaplin (Ipswich)
Leif Davis (Ipswich)
Stephy Mavididi (Leicester)
Jaden Philogene (Hull)
Palace 'back in for Nketiah'
Crystal Palace have reportedly revved up their interest in Eddie Nketiah with a loan bid.
Offloading the striker would help Arsenal bring in recruits as they struggle with financial restraints.
The Gunners' academy product, 24, picked up his only England cap last October.
Bu he is still mainly second-choice frontmen at the Emirates behind Gabriel Jesus.
And boss Mikel Arteta is thought to want to recruit a more natural finisher.
Now Football Transfers say Prem rivals Palace have come in for the Londoner.
