ARSENAL are ready to quadruple Bukayo Saka’s salary to reflect his status as one of their most important players.

The 20-year-old England star currently receives a basic wage of just £30,000-a-week, making him one of the lowest-paid players at the Emirates.

But now the club are preparing to offer him a new weekly deal worth around £125,000 to end any speculation about a summer move.

Manager Mikel Arteta has made securing Saka’s long-term future his top priority and has told the club they must keep their current Player of the Year at any price.

And that will mean a massive pay rise for the brilliant young winger who is now one of the hottest properties in English football.

Saka’s representatives have already been notified that Arsenal are ready to sit down and thrash out a new contract the moment the current season is over.

His current agreement, which was only signed 20 months ago, still has another two years to run.

But Saka’s meteoric progress over the past two seasons has forced the club to reassess his value and hand him a deal which will put him in line with the club’s other leading stars.

Saka, who will join up with Gareth Southgate’s England squad this week despite suffering a cut ankle during Saturday’s 1-0 win at Aston Villa, is more than happy to wait until the end of the current campaign to open talks.

Like Arteta, he does not want to be distracted during the season’s run-in as Arsenal look to secure a top-four finish.

MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly interested in signing Everton forward Richarlison in the summer.

But the Red Devils face competition from LaLiga giants Barcelona and Real Madrid if they are to acquire the Brazilian's signature.

A number of Man Utd forwards futures remain up in the air as we approach the last two months of the season.

Edinson Cavani's contract expires in the summer, Anthony Martial looks set to make his loan departure permanent, and Mason Greenwood has been suspended by the club following his arrest.

Then there is the continual speculation surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo.

And there have also been recent reports that Marcus Rashford is considering leaving following a poor run of form.

As a result, Man Utd have identified their forward line as an area where they need to strengthen ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.

And according to Goal, Richarlison is being monitored as a potential target.

The South American has netted 47 times in 142 appearances for the Toffees since arriving from Watford in 2018.

But he now finds himself embroiled in a relegation battle as Frank Lampard's side sit just three points above the drop zone with 11 games remaining.

ARSENAL are set to rekindle their interest in Juventus star Arthur Melo, according to reports.

And after failing to get the Brazilian in January, the Gunners will attempt to bring him to England this summer.

That is according to Calciomercato, who claim Mikel Arteta will launch another move for him once the current season ends.

Arsenal appeared to be on the verge of landing Arthur during the winter transfer window.

But despite various reports that they had agreed personal terms, the move collapsed due to the two clubs being unable to thrash out a fee.

Now it seems that Arsenal will go all-out again once the current campaign ends to get the South American.

Arthur is looking to get more first-team action ahead of the World Cup in Qatar with Brazil in the winter.

He joined the Old Lady in 2020.

That was part of a £66million deal which included Miralem Pjanic going the other way.

But he has struggled to impress at Juve since then.

AC MILAN midfielder Franck Kessie has completed his medical and is set to sign for Barcelona, according to reports.

The Catalan giants are one of a number of clubs who have been monitoring the Ivory Coast international's situation.

He is out of contract with the Serie A league leaders at the end of the season.

And a host of Premier League sides have been eyeing up a bid for the 25-year-old midfielder.

Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham and Aston Villa are among those who were said to be keen on Kessie.

But it has now emerged that Barcelona are set to get a deal over the line after completing his medical.

As reported by Gianluca di Marzio via Fabrizio Romano, he states: "Franck Kessie has already completed his medical tests with Barcelona in Lugano, as reported by @DiMarzio.

"The verbal agreement has been reached days ago for €6.5m net guaranteed salary. 🔵🔴 #FCB

"Official contracts will be completed in the coming weeks. Here we go soon ⏳."

Kessie has made 214 appearances for AC Milan since arriving from Atalanta in 2017.

NEWCASTLE have reportedly identified four possible goalkeeper targets which includes Manchester United's Dean Henderson and Chelsea's Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Magpies boss Eddie Howe is keen to bring in a new shot-stopper in the summer to battle Martin Dubravka for the No1 jersey.

And according to the Daily Mail, work is already underway at St James' Park on securing reinforcements in the upcoming transfer window.

They state that Henderson and Kepa are being eyed up, with both players out of favour at their current clubs.

Red Devils academy graduate Henderson hasn't featured in the Premier League all season with David De Gea preferred instead.

Meanwhile Kepa is the No2 at Chelsea behind Edouard Mendy, with the Spaniard limited to just four top-flight appearances this term.

The Mail also add that Arsenal's Bernd Leno remains a target after Newcastle failed to sign him in January.

Leno, who started in Saturday's 1-0 win against Aston Villa in the absence of Aaron Ramsdale, is expected to depart the Emirates in the near future.

West Brom star Sam Johnstone is claimed to be the final goalkeeper on Newcastle's wishlist as he approaches the end of his contract.

Though the Toon face competition in the race to secure the services of the England international.

ARSENAL and Everton have reportedly already started “working on” the transfer of Luka Jovic from Real Madrid.

And the striker has even taken a swipe at Los Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti as he prepares to depart the Bernabeu.

The Gunners are in need of a striker after terminating Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's contract in the January transfer window.

Boss Mikel Arteta may also have to replace Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah, with both attackers out of contract in the summer.

Now Marca are claiming that Serbia international Jovic “is packing his bags” already ahead of a summer exit.

And Premier League duo Arsenal and Everton are readying a swoop after failing to land him in January.

However, Arteta and Toffees boss Frank Lampard will face competition from elsewhere for the striker’s signature as a number of Bundesliga clubs look to bring him back to Germany.

Jovic, who is under contract until 2025, scored 40 goals in 93 appearances for Eintracht Frankfurt before his big move to Madrid.

The ace already seems resigned to the fact that he will be leaving after he seemingly took a swipe at his manager last night.

Jovic liked an Instagram post by Buta Sport, a media outlet in his homeland, which showed a photo of him, Gareth Bale and Eden Hazard along with a “thoughtful” emoji.

LEEDS UNITED star Raphinha has allegedly agreed personal terms with Barcelona ahead of a summer transfer.

The Brazilian forward, 25, has been in superb form this season.

And he is expected to leave the relegation battlers in the summer.

Leeds were desperate to hang on to their prized asset and offered him a new package that would have doubled his wages.

Raphinha snubbed that extension and has now allegedly been in negotiations with Barcelona.

And Sport, a Catalan newspaper, claims that he has agreed financial terms on a five-year contract at the Nou Camp.

It also adds that the LaLiga side have tabled an opening bid of £29million to Leeds.

However, the Elland Road club are currently holding out for the £70m release clause fee that is included in the South American’s deal.

The news will come as a bitter blow to Premier League big boys Chelsea and Liverpool.

Both of them have been monitoring the attacker’s situation closely for months but now appear to have been beaten in the transfer chase.

ATLETICO MADRID are targeting Sassuolo star Gianluca Scamacca as a replacement for Luis Suarez, reports suggest.

That is according to ESdiario, who report that Atletico would like to sign Scamacca this summer to bolster their attack and prepare for a potential exit from Suarez.

The star striker's contract runs out in June and Atleti have yet to offer him a new deal, while Aston Villa and former club Ajax are keeping tabs on him.

The Uruguay international is reportedly disgruntled with the lack of communication from the Rojiblancos.

That is why Suarez could be lured into working with former Liverpool team-mate and Villa boss Steven Gerrard in the Midlands, where he would possibly reunite with Philippe Coutinho.

Ajax have already made enquires about their former player, who burst onto the scene in Amsterdam before moving to Anfield in 2011.

However, both clubs are facing competition from the likes of Inter Milan and Sevilla, who are also monitoring the Uruguayan's situation.

Atletico are thinking ahead and want to make sure a proper successor is found immediately, which is why Scamacca has made manager Diego Simeone's wishlist.

The centre-forward has been enjoying a standout season in Serie A with 13 goals in 28 league matches.

However, luring the Italy international to Madrid won't be easy as Sassuolo are not keen on letting him go just yet.

PEP GUARDIOLA’S summer warchest at Manchester City could be boosted by the sale of Spanish defender Pedro Porro.

The full-back is currently on loan at Sporting Lisbon – who have the option to make the move permanent in the summer for a fee of around £10.8million.

The defender recently claimed he has never spoked with Guardiola and jokingly suggested that the City manager doesn't even know about him.

Porro told A Bola: "No, I never spoke to Pep Guardiola.

"I don't think he even knows they hired me. But they must be attentive to what I have been doing."

Both Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are currently monitoring the 22-year-old.

And if the Portuguese club cannot afford the agreed transfer fee, then he will return to the Etihad in the summer.

And reports in Portugal say the two European giants would be willing to pay around £25m for Porro – who has never played a game for City.

That would be a welcome boost for the English champs as they prepare a move for Borussia Dortmund hotshot Erling Haaland this summer.

Ideally Guardiola would like to sign a left-back and a holding midfielder to replace club captain Fernandinho.

PAULO DYBALA was once heralded as the next Lionel Messi.

Unfortunately for him, Messi had no intention of abdicating his crown as the king of Argentine football any time soon.

And now a stumbling career will see Dybala released by Juventus as a free agent this summer – with the likes of Tottenham and Manchester United the frontrunners to land him.

Yes, the 28-year-old has still enjoyed a largely successful career in Italy with five Serie A titles, four Coppa Italias and a Champions League final in seven seasons with Juventus.

But it certainly has fallen well short of the heights many expected – and Dybala hoped – it would hit.

Born in Laguna Larga in Cordoba, Argentina's second city, Dybala's surname links back to his grandfather Boleslaw Dybala, a Pole who fled his homeland during World War II and settled in South America.

But it was the side of his mother he followed by ending up in Italy – with his great-grandmother from Naples.

He earned a move to Palermo after nine years with Instituto in his home city.

Dybala joined the club's academy aged ten in 2003 and made his professional debut for the first team at 17.

His record-breaking prowess – as the youngest goalscorer, playing 38 consecutive league games, hitting two hat-tricks in the same season AND scoring in six straight matches – quickly earned him plenty of attention in Argentina.
