All the latest Arsenal transfer news and rumours from across the British and European press on Sunday, July 9.

Everton will bid for Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud as a replacement for Romelu Lukaku, according to the Mail on Sunday.

The French striker, 30, reportedly has interest from West Ham, Marseille and Lyon, but Everton are confident they will land him.

Giroud scored 12 Premier League goals last season.

Arsenal are willing to sell Alexis Sanchez to Manchester City, but they want £80m for him, according to the Sunday Mirror.

Arsenal risk losing Sanchez for free next summer if he does not sign a new deal.

Barca want to bring in a new right-back this summer and Bellerin, who spent time in the Camp Nou club's youth academy before moving to Arsenal, is their first-choice target.

However, Arsenal do not want to sell the Spaniard, and, as such, Barca are exploring other options.

Their shortlist of right-back targets includes Monaco's Djibril Sidibe, Benfica's Nelson Semedo, Valencia's Joao Cancelo, Real Sociedad's Alvaro Odriozola and Bayern Munich's Joshua Kimmich.
