Perennial contender Arsenal FC is doing good, so to speak, in the ongoing 2015-2016 Premier League season with seven points under its belt after four games. Arsene Wenger and his boys were able to bounce back from their embarrassing 0-2 loss to West Ham United on opening day and managed to streak an unbeaten run in their last three games.
Still, the expectations at Emirates Stadium are high enough for Wenger to consider possible transfer talks to further strengthen his squad and improve their third place finish last season.
Arsenal targets Gonzalo Higuain for £69.1M: The Gunners are on track to overtake Manchester United for the services of the 27-year-old Argentine striker with a stunning £69.1 million bid to Napoli on deadline day.
Reports were also saying that Higuain is also interested in playing for Wenger, which makes the deal likely to happen. Verdict: Fact.
Gunners bid £37M for Julian Draxler: Speculations abound that Wenger had grown frustrated of their £42.5 million signing German midfielder Mesut Özil and wants to replace him with the 21-year-old Draxler.
Özil is currently sidelined with a knee injury and with his fellow German's release clause from VfL Wolfsburg matched by the team, it may only be a matter of time before they become teammates at the Etihad. Verdict: Fact.
An undisclosed bid for PSG's Edinson Cavani: Rumors surfaced that Wenger's final transaction before the transfer window closes is the acquisition of Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani.
With the failed purchase of Real Madrid's Karim Benzema, the Gunners are said to be looking at a last-minute attempt to lure the Uruguayan from Ligue 1 to the Premier League. But Cavani recently said he is happy where he's at? Verdict: Fiction.
