Arsenal lodge N'Golo Kante transfer enquiry as Mikel Arteta sent warning

Arsenal will be aiming to get their fight for the Premier League title back on track this weekend.

The Gunners are still six points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table following their dramatic 2-2 draw with Liverpool at Anfield. Despite that, their destiny is now not entirely in their own hands after Pep Guardiola’s side forced themselves back into contention.

Attention now turns to this weekend’s showdown with London rivals West Ham, where Arsenal will be hoping to rebuild a gap between themselves and their nearest challengers for the title.

Here are the latest headlines coming out of the Emirates Stadium over the past 24 hours.

Arsenal lodge Kante ‘enquiry’

Arsenal lodged an enquiry regarding the potential signing of Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante. The Frenchman is out of contract at the end of the current season and would be available on a free transfer.

According to a member of his entourage, Arsenal have already got in touch regarding a move across the capital. Speaking to French outlet Le Parisien, they said: “N’Golo would like to continue his career in London, where he has his habits. He liked working with Antonio Conte, but he has been sacked by Tottenham.

“Arsenal also made an enquiry… I think he will extend his deal at Chelsea before going to the Middle-East in two or three years.”

Lauren sends Arteta warning

Arsenal legend Lauren insists the Gunners must go up another level to prove they can cope with the pressure of the title race.

He said: “Right now, I feel Arsenal are coping with a nine out of ten rating with the pressure. But to get over the line and win the title, they may need to reach a ten out of ten and see out the three points like they didn’t quite manage at Anfield. I think they will show they can cope with the pressure."
