ARSENAL NEW AWAY KIT

BLUE is the colour. No, not at Chelsea, but with Arsenal.

Theo Walcott and Thomas Vermaelen will wear a new turquoise and navy away kit for the coming season and at least it will take the fans' minds off wondering if skipper Cesc Fabregas is going to stay or head off to sunnier shores.

The strip features a new 125th anniversary crest, inspired by the club's first crest and the current one.

ARSENAL ON SHOPPING LIST ALVAREZ AND GERVINHO

Ricardo Alavarez and Gervinho 

ARSENAL are ready to make an £11million swoop for the new Cesc Fabregas - Argy midfielder Ricardo Alvarez.

A highly-placed source said: "He is definitely of interest.

"There has been no deal with his club Velez Sarsfield but it is true the club have been looking at Alvarez."

Arsenal were in talks for the 23-year-old last month but negotiations stalled after Emirates executive Richard Law was quoted £11m by Velez president Fernando Raffaini.

Also on Arsene Wenger radar is GERVINHO who seems to inch his way closer to a £12million switch to Arsenal last night after Lille admitted: He wants to move to the Emirates.

The Gunners could land the 24-year-old Ivory Coast striker in the next few days as his French club need to raise money to buy St Etienne winger Dimitri Payet.

PERFECT TIME TO LET FABREGAS GO

Fabregas...please let me go

ARSENAL should let their captain Cesc Fabregas go to Barca so that they can focus on the team for the coming season without a hitch. No doubt this decision may not favour well to Arsene Wenger but surely for the sake of football he should.

NASRI - IF MAN UNITED IS INTERESTED WE CAN SIT AND TALK.

Samir Nasri has risked fracturing his relationship with Arsène Wenger by casting doubt over his readiness to sign a new contract at Arsenal this summer, with the France international suggesting he is also keen to discover whether Manchester United's interest in him is "concrete".
