Tuesday's Arsenal transfer talk news roundup: Kalidou Koulibaly, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Philippe Coutinho

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Arsenal on Tuesday, August 18.

The summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Arsenal eye possible reinforcements.

The Gunners spent more than many expected last summer - most notably their club-record purchase of Nicolas Pepe - but were more reserved in January as they focused on bolstering their defensive options.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings at the Emirates Stadium.

Tuesday morning's Arsenal transfer talk news roundup:

Arsenal reportedly have an agreement in place with Lille for in-demand central defender Gabriel Magalhaes.

The 22-year-old has been given the green light to depart the Stade Pierre Mauroy this summer if the right offer is made.

A number of clubs have showed an interest in the Brazilian defender, with Napoli rumoured to have been on the brink of signing him as a direct replacement for Kalidou Koulibaly.

Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and Everton are also believed to be weighing up bids, but The Telegraph claims that Arsenal are now closing in on the signing of Gabriel in a deal worth around £27m.

The same report indicates that skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is also on the verge of penning fresh terms at the Emirates Stadium in a huge double boost for the Gunners.



Arsenal 'agree new contract with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang'

Arsenal have reportedly agreed a new deal with club captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The 31-year-old's existing contract at the Emirates Stadium is due to expire next summer, and he has been strongly linked with a move away from the Gunners in recent months.

Aubameyang led Mikel Arteta's side to the FA Cup trophy during the 2019-20 campaign, though, and ended the season with 29 goals in 44 appearances in all competitions.

According to The Telegraph, Arsenal have now 'agreed terms' with Aubameyang over a new deal, meaning that an announcement could be imminent.

The Gabon international dropped a hint on Sunday afternoon that he is close to penning a new contract.

The former Borussia Dortmund forward has scored 70 times in 109 appearances for the Gunners since arriving at the London club in January 2018.
