Arsenal will be expected to take a huge step towards the Premier League title by beating already relegated Burnley at The Emirates on Monday night. 

The Gunners defeated West Ham United 1-0 in controversial circumstances on Sunday afternoon, with the Hammers having a goal disallowed deep into added-time.

Victory against the Clarets will put Arsenal on the verge of a first top flight title in more than two decades, and Arteta’s side could even win the league with victory against Burnley if Manchester City are beaten by Crystal Palace on Wednesday.

Away from the action, though, it has emerged that Arsenal are one of two London sides chasing a highly-rated Serie A defender.

As per Sports Boom, both Arsenal and Chelsea are interested in Como defender Jacobo Ramon, who looks set for a big move this summer.

The report claims that both the Gunners and the Blues are monitoring the centre-back, who is also on the radar of Spanish giants Real Madrid.

Ramon, 21, has impressed this season for a Como side that have been in sensational form under Cesc Fabregas.

The Lombardy outfit currently sit sixth in the Serie A standings and have secured qualification for European football next term, for the first time in the club’s history.

Ramon has featured 35 times for the Italian outfit so far this term, having joined from Real Madrid last summer.

The report claims, though, that Real Madrid included an option-to-buy clause for less than £7 million in the deal to sell Ramon, as well as a 50% sell-on clause if the Italian side sell the player.

Como will therefore demand a significant amount for the defender, the report suggests, with his price tag possibly being set as high as £45 million.
