7am Arsenal news: Gunners want £15m Ezri Konsa, Lucas Torreira wears PSG shirt, Tony Adams recalls boozy night

Read on below for more details, plus all the latest news, views and gossip from the Emirates.

EZRI PEASY

ARSENAL are ready to bid £15million for Brentford defender Ezri Konsa.

Konsa, 21, was signed from Charlton for £2.85million in June and Arsenal’s spies believe he can step up to the Prem.

TORR-TALLY NORMAL

LUCAS TORRIERA was spotted wearing a Paris Saint-Germain shirt – but Arsenal fans don't need to panic.

The Uruguay international has emerged as a fan favourite following his sensational start to life with the Gunners.

AD TOO MUCH

TONY ADAMS has recalled a boozy night out early in his football career led to him having sex on his car bonnet… and he couldn't even remember it.

The Arsenal legend, 52, claims alcohol addiction took its toll on him and his parents, remembering one particular night out in Essex.

PEAK PRACTICE

ARSENAL are under new management — by order of Peaky Blinders fan Unai Emery.

The Spaniard revealed this week he had found the Gunners in decline when he arrived in the summer.

And there was an urgent need to stop the defensive rot that had set in during the final years of Arsene Wenger’s 22-year reign.

But Emery knows he must also improve his command of the English language… so he is watching programmes like the BBC’s period crime drama about the Shelby family starring Cillian Murphy.

EMERY LIKE A SIEVE

UNAI EMERY fears Arsenal’s defensive frailties will wreck his dream of a top-four finish.

The Gunners have conceded three times as many Premier League goals as Manchester City and Liverpool this season — 15 compared to just five for the top two.

GUNNER BE HONEST

UNAI EMERY has praised his predecessor Arsene Wenger – but says Arsenal were tumbling down under the Frenchman.

The new Gunners boss believes he is starting to lift them back up again, as they currently enjoy a 16-game unbeaten run.

POCH: ARSENAL NO LONGER OUR MAIN RIVALS

MAURICIO POCHETTINO claims Chelsea are now Tottenham’s biggest rivals — not Arsenal.

Spurs face face unbeaten Blues tonight and Arsenal in next Sunday’s North London derby.

NACHO DERBY WOE

ARSENAL left-back Nacho Monreal has been ruled out of Tottenham's Premier League visit to the Emirates on December 2.

The Spaniard, 32, has been out since October 7 with a hamstring injury. Read more about Monreal, plus the Gunners' other injury news, here.

TROSS ME

UNAI EMERY is plotting a January move for Belgian forward Leandro Trossard.

The striker has hit 15 goals in 18 games for Genk this season and the Gunners are set to make their move after Tottenham gave Trossard the cold shoulder.

BECK TO THE FUTURE

THE dust has settled on the Danny Welbeck injury and it looks certain the England forward is out for the rest of the season.

That means Raul Sanllehi and Sven Mislintat have important recruitment decisions to make before the January window. Here, blogger Peter Wood gives a fan's view on who could replace Welbeck.
