But that has not stopped reports claiming they are looking ahead and planning their summer transfer business.

With that in mind, here are the latest transfer rumours from the Emirates.

Tagliafico agreement confirmed

The agent of Ajax full-back Nicolas Tagliafico has confirmed that there is an agreement with the Eredivisie side for the Argentine ace to leave in the next transfer window.

Tagliafico was linked with a move to Arsenal last summer but agreed to stay in the Eredivisie for one more season - and now a transfer is back on the cards, with the Gunners said to have reignited their interest.

Crucially, Arsenal won't find Ajax refusing to do a deal as Tagliafico's agent, Ricardo Schlieper, has confirmed an agreement for a departure is in place.

“We are looking for a transfer for Tagliafico. We have agreed with Ajax that he would leave this year. After having spent two and a half seasons at the club, it’s the ideal moment,” told Radio del Plata in quotes translated by Mundo Albiceleste.

Gunners tracking Rafinha

Arsenal are keeping tabs on Barcelona midfielder Rafinha amid the growing likelihood that he will be available for a transfer this summer, according to Mundo Deportivo via Sport Witness.

Barcelona have been hit hard by the coronavirus crisis and it has been widely reported that a huge firesale will occur at the Camp Nou in the coming months.

Among those chasing his services are clubs in Spain, Italy and England, with the reports specifically mentioning Arsenal along with Inter Milan.

However, the Gunners are only said to be 'attentive' for a transfer, whereas Inter's interest is reported to be significantly more pressing.

Olympiakos prepare new deal for Ba

Olympiakos are preparing to offer a new deal to defender Ousseynou Ba amid reported interest from Arsenal and Liverpool, Greek outlet Sport24 state.

The 24-year-old has been a revelation with the Greek side since joining from Gazelec Ajaccio last summer and Olympiakos are desperate to secure him to a new deal to fend off interest in his services.

Ba caught the eye in the victory over Arsenal in the Europa League, which dumped Mikel Arteta's side out of continental competition and punched a hole in the club's Champions League aspirations.

That saw his reputation earn a significant boost and Olympiakos look set for a huge battle if they are to retain his services beyond the next transfer window.
