The press haven't cottoned on Arsenal are in the Europa League yet

TRANSFER TALK



Arsenal are prepared to use 30-year-old (31 in September) French international (he has 64 full international caps scoring 17 goals) Olivier Giroud as a makeweight in any deal to sign Kylian Mbappe or Lacazette.

Of course it is all fantasy because 18-year-old (19 in September) French international (he has 4 full international caps) Mbappe can have his choice of clubs and is hardly going to choose a UEFA Europa League side when he was in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals this season. 

Alexandre Lacazette also wants UEFA Champions League football, the 26-year-old (27 next May) French international (he has 11 full international caps scoring 1 goal) has stated that before. A host of the clubs are chasing him so again he is unlikely to want to settle for a UEFA Europa League club.

I don't think the newspapers have realised what position Arsenal are in at the moment, they are not an attractive proposition and look set to lose their best players, unsurprisingly.
