Arsenal are 7 points clear at the top of the Premier League, with 71 goals scored and 27 conceded this season. They are on a 5-game winning run, with their last result being a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace on May 24th. Their next fixture is against Chelsea at home on September 6th.

The Gunners are reportedly willing to let a winger join Liverpool, despite being in the running for the same player. According to L'Equipe, Arsenal believe Paris Saint-Germain are not offering proper value for the transfer, and are willing to step aside if Liverpool make a move. The Reds are in the market for another winger this summer, despite signing Victor Munoz from Osasuna. They lack production from wide areas last season, and Munoz, for all his quality, won't be enough on his own.

Liverpool's backup option is Bradley Barcola, who has rejected the chance to renew his contract with Paris Saint-Germain. News broke on Sunday that three clubs are fronting the queue for Barcola's signature: Bayern Munich, Arsenal, and Liverpool. However, other reports suggest that Barcola himself wants Liverpool.
