The latest Arsenal transfer news and rumours from across the British and European press on Tuesday, August 1.
Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez appears to be on his way out of London - after boarding a Paris-bound flight from Chile, writes The Sun.
Manchester City have been strongly linked with a move for Sanchez in recent weeks and some reports suggest the striker is ready to hand in a transfer request to force through a move.
But could that move be to Paris Saint-Germain after he was pictured on a flight heading for the French capital?
Barcelona will turn their attention towards Arsenal forward Mesut Ozil if they fail in a bid to sign Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho, according to Don Balon.
The report suggests Coutinho remains the Spanish club's top priority in this transfer window, but they have reportedly lined up another option should they fail.
And are thought to be ready to pay £53m to sign the 28-year-old, who has one year remaining on his contract at the Emirates Stadium.
Meanwhile, Arsenal's attempted squad clear-out has been reportedly delayed by players unwilling to take pay cuts to leave.
The Gunners are trying to sell a number of players this summer as manager Arsene Wenger plans an overhaul of his squad but, according to the Daily Mail, the club are finding it difficult to move on the stars deemed surplus to requirements because prospective buyers are reluctant to meet their wage demands.
