Willian accepts offer

Willian has accepted a £100,000-a-week contract offer from Arsenal as his free transfer from Chelsea edges closer, according to ESPN.

The Gunners have fought off interest from a number of clubs, including Barcelona and David Beckham's Inter Miami to secure the Brazilian's signature.

Willian is reportedly keen to work with Mikel Arteta and Arsenal technical director Edu after Chelsea boss Frank Lampard failed to convince him to sign a new deal.

Lille defender Gabriel Magalhaes is desperate to join Arsenal after talks earlier this week, claim reports in France.

French outlet La Voix Du Nord say the Brazilian wants to move to the Emirates after being impressed by the club's vision during talks.

Martinez could go

Arsenal goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has claimed he could leave the club if he doesn't play more in an interview with Argentine outlet Continental 590.

The 27-year-old earned plenty of plaudits for his excellent form after replacing the injured Bernd Leno, but he now wants to earn more minutes between the sticks.

"I showed that I can play, I need to play more games next season," Martinez said.

"I want to establish myself at Arsenal and become first choice. If I don’t play, I’m going to move, I’m going to go where I play more."
