Arsenal are watching Udinese winger Gabriel Torje.

Udine sources say Arsenal scouts have been present at Udinese games this season to track the Romania international.

Torje only moved to Udinese from Dinamo Bucharest last summer and is tied to the Italians until 2016

Trabzonspor are preparing to lose striker Burak Yilmaz.

Sporx says Trabzonspor are already preparing to find a replacement for Yilmaz.

Yilmaz's contract carries a €5 million buyout clause and is being linked with Fulham and Arsenal.

Bordeaux president Jean-Louis Triaud has confirmed interest in bringing back Marouane Chamakh from Arsenal.

But he concedes that it would be difficult to put a suitable financial package in place.

"I have spoken with Marouane and told him that he is welcome at Bordeaux and that we still have room for him," Triaud told RMC.

"The main problem will be financial because he has tasted the salaries in England and Arsenal will ask for a fee. Chamakh has told me that if he was to return to France, it would be at Bordeaux."

Chamakh is in no rush to turn his back on Arsenal, though, with it his intention to prove himself in the Premier League.

"I want to improve my football in England and be a success here," he said. "Unless the club tell me otherwise, I will fight to establish myself. I have the ability to be a top player in this league.

"I love Bordeaux but Arsenal are my club at the moment."

Gylfi Sigurdsson has revealed he might not be in control of his own destiny this summer.

The 22 year-old midfielder has made a huge impact since joining Swansea on loan from Hoffenheim in January, scoring six goals in 11 Premier League appearances.

Sigurdsson has also made a huge impression on Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger , who has reportedly sounded out Brian McDermott, the player's manager during a previous spell at Reading.

"I still have a couple of years left on my contract at Hoffenheim, so there is not much I can do at the moment," said Sigurdsson.

"It's out of my hands."

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is taking a close look at Fulham attacker Clint Dempsey.

The Telegraph says Dempsey is out of contract at Fulham next year and, having scored 22 goals in all competitions this season, is in the best form of his career.

Wenger, though, also considered a move for Dempsey last summer and is impressed both by his consistency and versatility in playing either as a winger or a striker.

Fulham remain determined to keep Dempsey and there has been no approach from Arsenal, but the 29 year-old has not yet accepted the offer of an extended contract.

Arsenal face a major fight to sign Moroccan star Younes Belhanda after the talented midfielder revealed he is happy to stay at Montpellier.

The 22-year-old is rated as one of the best young midfielders in the French League and stole the headlines once again when he scored two goals against Marseille on Wednesday night, with his second strike, a superb scissors-kick from the edge of the box, a contender for goal of the season.

Arsene Wenger has been keeping a close eye on his development and was hoping to make his move at the end of the season.

But, with Montpellier now three points clear of Paris Saint-Germain at the top of the table, Belhanda admits he is happy to stay and would love the chance to play for them in the Champions League next season.

Belhanda, speaking to French newspaper L'Equipe, said: "I still have two years left on my contract and if the president does not want to sell me, I have no problem staying at Montpellier."

Montpellier owner Louis Nicollin says Belhanda will cost £50m. Admits Yanga-Mbiwa and Giroud could leave.

Arsenal are showing an interest in Stephan El Shaarawy (a proposed season long loan)

lol, as long as there's no option to buy!

I think that if we sell one of our other forwards (Pato or Robinho) SES will become too important to be loaned out.

highly doubt thats going to happen tbh

lol yeah but I'm talking HUGE because even if we exoded(not a word) the usual suspects our midfield/wings would still consist of [ Arteta, Wilshere, Ramsey, Song, Frimpong, Coquelin, Rozza ] and on the wings [ Miyaichi, Walcott, Gervinho, Podololoski, Chambo, Wellington Silva ]

Should Clint Dempsey be starting up front for Fulham?

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is ready to send goalkeeper Lukas Fabianski away on-loan next season.

The Poland international is behind countryman Wojciech Szczesny in the Gunners’ pecking order and boss Wenger may agree to a season-long loan to help his No.2 out, says the Mirror.

While former first-choice Manuel Almunia is set to leave on a free this summer, emerging keeper Damian Martinez is highly thought of at the club.
