Hello and welcome into the latest edition of ESPN FC.

0:08.4

We have Alain Moreno, Chakihislop and myself, K Murie, in the studio.

0:11.9

We're also going to be joined by Julian LeRan and Don Hutchison,

0:15.2

because there is news of Arsenal making an offer and opening proposal for

0:20.5

Kai Havards that we need to discuss now. It is early days, Jules,

0:24.4

but it seems as though the interest is strong from North London.

1:31.8

that kind of money, that he will be discovered, the form that he saw at Levycusion,

1:36.1

and then you look at Arsenal's attacking lineup. And again, I'm just not sure who he takes
