Juventus midfielder Mario Lemina has commented on reports linking him to Arsenal. "I am flattered by the interest of Arsenal. I am playing for a big club now but I am happy about the interest of other clubs," he told French outlet Foot Mercato. "I do not have a preference for any league.

Reports in Portugal suggest that Sporting would be willing to sell him for just under £40m with the Portuguese club under more financial pressure to sell given their failure to qualify for the Champions League group stages.

Gelson Martins could be on the move soon!

Bellerin on Barca links: "It's a great thing to know about the interest of a club like Barca, the club where I grew up," he said. "I don't know anything at the moment. I'm an Arsenal player and we'll see what happens. As a player, the club haven't told me anything, there has still not been any contact. A lot can happen this summer."

Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi admits that his future is beyond his hands. "I'm not the master of my destiny. Chelsea bought me, they can do what they want with me," he told French outlet RMC Sport. "I'm going to finish with the national team and then I expect I'll have a few phone calls. I'll see with my agent and the club."

Chelsea signed Batshuayi last summer for around £33M from Marseille
