But football.london says Aston Villa, Newcastle and West Ham have all had their attempts rebuffed.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta said on Friday: “I’m really happy with Emile. He’s in the right trajectory. He’s settled really well and you know I’m not going to talk about individual situations

“No changes. Emile is Emile. We’re really happy to have him. He needs chances. What we have to do is give him minutes.”
