Arsenal are in pursuit of a young promising right back Kenny Lala from Strasbourg and are ready to offer a mouth watering bid for the young talent in order to lure him to the Emirates Stadium this summer transfer window. 

The Gunners faced a quite number of problem in their defence line this 2018/2019 season as they lost Hector Bellerin to injury for almost half of the season,  Carl Jekinson failed to prove himself to secure a first team spot and 35-year old Stephan Lichtsteiner who signed for Arsenal last summer on a free transfer from Serie A giants Juventus failed to convince Arsenal board to a new deal. So the Gunners are in need of a back up as soon as possible. 

Lala is a French footballer who is capable of filling this role for Arsenal making a good addition to the squad. He's currently having a good season and Unai Emery is keen on signing the 27-year old but Arsenal will have to face competition from fellow England teams Manchester United and Newcastle United for the signature of the Frenchman. 

Kenny Lala joined Strasbourg from Lens on a free deal but has proven to worth more than a free player having involved in 38 games for Strasbourg this season scoring five goals and making 10 assists to his name as a right back. Impressive right?

Arsenal finished on a good note this season placed fifth at the end of the 2018/2019 season, 1 point behind fellow North Londoners Tottenham but have a big game to play against Chelsea on the 29th of May ( Europa League Final), having hope of Champions league spot if they lift their first European trophy and the young right back will like to earn a champions league play.

The defender has a deal with Strasbourg until 2021 thereby having a release clause of €20m and can increase as time goes on. 

Arsenal ended the 2018/2019 Premier League campaign with an away win at Turf Moor Stadium against a tough side Burnley in the final day of the league. 

Unai Emery went into the game having 7 changes to the side that won against Valencia at the Manstello Stadium last Thursday.  The game which saw the likes of Alex Iwobi, Mohammed El-Nenny, Matteo Guendouzi, Joe Willock, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Mavropanous earn a starting line-up call. 

The game was quite tough in the first half but thanks to Aubameyang's opener to make way for goals in the encounter. The Gabonese striker opens the score sheet for the Gunners in the 52nd minute to keep him in contest for the Premier League golden boot race which heats up in with Manchester City's Aguero and Mo Sallah of Liverpool. 

In the 63rd minute of the game, Iwobi flicked an overhead pass to find Aubameyang again at the far edge to the Burnley's goal pole and the Striker doesn't hesitate to fire into the roof of the net to make it his second of the Match and gave the visitors a 2 goal advantage. 

In just 2 minutes after Auba's second goal, Ashely Barnes pull a goal back for the home side with a header which couldn't be saved by Bernd Leno, this gives Burnley hope of making a comeback. 

All effort to make Aubameyang score more were in vain as the striker keeps wasting some of the chances he could have converted. 

Eddie Nketiah who was brought in from the bench to replace fellow teenager Willock splashed a low cross pass Burnley's goalkeeper in the 90th minute to make it 1 - 3 in favor of the North London club. 

Arsenal will look on to the Final game of the Europa League against fellow London rivals Chelsea to secure their first European trophy on the 29th of this month.

Pierre Emerick Aubameyang won the golden boot award with 22 goals tie with fellow Africans and Liverpool's duo MÖ Sallah and Sadio Mane who also shared the award having played less game time compared to both Liverpool's forwards. 

Congratulations to Auba ⚡

The Spanish giants (Real Madrid) have held talks with Arsenal and Gabonese super striker Pierre Emerick Aubameyang in their pursuit to bring the striker to Santiago Bernabeau during this summer transfer window. 

The Los Blancos really need a goal machine as they are planning to reinforce the entire team this summer and they have targeted Aubameyang as the perfect fit for the striking role. Karim Benzema what happens to be Zinadane Zidane's first choice in the No. 9 spot is already 31 years of age and will need a replacement as soon as possible. On the other hand, Mariano Diaz hasn't been in a good form this season, in view of this a fresh leg is needed to occupy the centre forward role. 

Real Madrid are ready to spend big this summer and they have pinpointed some big names on their radar in the likes of Eden Hazard of Chelsea who has also refused to pen down a new contract with the Blues and Paul Pogba of Manchester United who is apparently not enjoying life at the Old Trafford due to the poor form of the Red devils. 

Aubameyang, who joined Arsenal in January 2018 under Arsene Wenger with a club record fee of €65m from Germany's side Borrussia Dortmund. No doubt that he is one of the best strikers in Europe's top five leagues and Arsenal is so blessed to have the Gabonese striker. He has made up to 50 appearances for the North London club this season having 30 goals and 8 assists to his name. His contract with the gunners will expire 2021 making him to have a release clause of around €75m and might increase as the player keeps increasing in form. 

The striker has his first Hat-trick for Arsenal last Thursday night in the Europa League semi final encounter with Valencia at Spain, catching the eyes of big clubs.

Arsenal will do all they could to retain the 2-time African Footballer of the year as his service is still needed considering his recent from in partnership with Alexander Lacazette who might also stay in the club amid speculations of sealing transfer to FC Barcelona.
