This weekend will see Arsenal welcome Leeds to the Emirates for another huge Premier League clash at both ends of the table. Mikel Arteta is continuing to chase a place in the Champions League while Jesse Marsch is facing a fight against relegation. Both sides will be desperate for a win.
We will have all the build-up ahead of the match but there will be plenty of other news too. With the season drawing to a close, transfer rumours are beginning to mount and Arsenal are set to be one of the busiest clubs in the Premier League with reinforcements needed throughout the side.

Aaron Hickey’s strengths and weaknesses as Arsenal complete first steps for £17m summer transfer
Arsenal fans can certainly look forward to another busy summer transfer window as manager Mikel Arteta and technical director Edu are likely to bolster many areas of the first-team squad.
Of course, after parting ways with former captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in January, coupled with Alexandre Lacazette – as well as Eddie Nketiah – out of contract in June, it’s clear the club’s main priority has to be to sign a new striker or two before the 2022/23 season gets underway.
Amid links to the likes of Gabriel Jesus, Tammy Abraham, Darwin Nunez, Jonathan David, Alexander Isak, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Patrik Schick, it’s safe to say Arteta and Edu have that department covered and it just remains to be seen who they can persuade to make the move to the Emirates Stadium.
With that said, TBcrest.com understands that a new left-back is also high on the agenda, with a move for Bologna and Scotland defender Aaron Hickey being lined up. The first steps towards sealing a deal for the teenager have been completed with the Gunners discovering his price tag of €20m (£17m).
Arsenal suffer Paulo Dybala blow
The Juventus attacker Paulo Dybala is set to become a free agent and has linked with a move to Arsenal, but reports in Italy suggest Inter Milan could be looking to snap him up.
Gazzetta dello Sport have reported that Inter bosses see Dybala is a perfect striking pair with Lautaro Martinez.
Dembele move
As per FourFourTwo, Arsenal have a chance to hijack a deal for Barcelona star Ousmane Dembele – and finally bring a much-coveted star to the Emirates Stadium.
Moussa Diaby targeted
According to German outlet SPORTBILD, Arsenal is making “serious efforts” to try and sign Bayer Leverkusen winger Moussa Diaby this summer.
The Frenchman has netted 16 goals and provided a further 13 assists across all competitions.
