All the latest Arsenal transfer news and rumours from across the British and European press on Thursday, July 6.

Everton have made Olivier Giroud their No 1 target as they look to continue their summer spending with a £20m move for the Arsenal striker, according to reports in both the Daily Mail and The Times.

The France international's future at the Emirates is in doubt following the big-money move of compatriot Alexandre Lacazette to the north London club on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Alexis Sanchez is demanding a staggering £400,000-a-week to sign a new deal at the Gunners, says the Mirror.

The Chile international's current contract in north London runs until the summer of 2018.

Elsewhere, Chelsea target Antonio Rudiger has admitted in the Mirror that "my heart beats for Arsenal" ahead of a £36m transfer to Stamford Bridge,

However, the German defender is still expected to join the Premier League champions this week.
