Whilst The Sun does not have the greatest reputation for transfer gossip, this particular Arsenal story is sourced by Mark Irwin, who does have good links with sources at The Emirates.

Irwin claims that the Arsenal board have told Arsene Wenger to spend big this summer, and if he doesn’t his future at the club could be in doubt.

A host of big names are linked with Arsenal by The Sun, including: Toni Kroos, Gonzalo Higuain, Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and John Stones.

Certainly, the signing of Pogba or Zlatan would be a huge statement from the Gunners but seems unlikely considering the sides they will go up against.

Plus, both are represented by notorious agent Mino Raiola, who may not have particularly good relations with Arsene Wenger.

More worryingly for Arsenal fans, Irwin suggests that Mesut Ozil is looking to leave Arsenal and wants to a return to Real Madrid.
