WITH Arsene Wenger about to be handed a £100m transfer kitty at the end of the season Arsenal fans might be looking forward to seeing some big names arriving at the Emirates. But the early signs are that the Gunners faithful are in for another summer of deja vu rather than excitement.

First of all, in-demand Ilkay Gundogan has decided to turn his back on a big money move to England and instead continue his career with Borussia Dortmund. According to the Daily Express, the midfield magician has been offered a new contract by the German outfit and the 23-year-old, who has just over 12 months remaining on his current deal, is expected to sign on the dotted line.
