Wanted: Romulo could be making his way to the Premier League
Here are today's Gunners stories from the Sunday Mirror and Sunday People...
Howay, Howedes!
Arsene Wenger has moved to correct Arsenal's defensive problems by stepping up an interest in Benedikt Howedes, writes Neil Moxley in the Sunday People. The Gunners watched the German World Cup defender help Schalke to an impressive 4-0 win at Stuttgart last week.
Howedes,
26, has two years left on his current deal with the Champions League
last-16 qualifiers. But he is a friend of current Gunners centre-back
Per Mertesacker and his versatility would be welcomed by Wenger.
Howedes
is equally at home at left-back or centre-half and, with a fee
approaching £15million, would be well within Arsenal’s budget.
Arsenal 4-1 Newcastle
The Gunners fans chanted: "One Arsene Wenger" as Arsenal eased themselves to a much needed victory over Newcastle.
Yes, really.
A week ago, Arsenal fans were shouting abuse at Wenger and his players after they lost at Stoke.
Fast forward seven days and they're back in love with Wenger again.
Maybe
it's time the Arsenal fans made up their minds and appreciated what
Wenger has done for the club as they pulled themselves back towards the
top four.
Arsenal took a 15th minute lead when Alexis Sanchez's cross picked out Giroud and the French centre forward powered a brilliant header into the top corner. Read more on the match by clicking here.
Peace: Wenger enjoyed chants of 'there's only one Arsene Wenger' on Saturday

Sunday's Arsenal stories from other papers & websites
Gunners close to Romulo
Arsenal have moved closer to signing Spartak Moscow midfielder Romulo, according to the Sunday Express.
The
Brazilian is a defensive midfielder who could be seen as a long-term
replacement for Mikel Arteta, with James McCarthy from Everton also
touted for that role.
At 24-years-old, he is about to enter the prime of his career, where he has won nine caps already for his country.
It is thought that a swap deal involving Yaya Sanogo could be part of a potential move.
Krys-tal clear intentions
Arsenal
have submitted a bid to sign Krystian Bielik, the player dubbed as the
'Polish Patrick Vieira', according to Polish publication Legia Sport.
The 16-year-old only joined Legia Warsaw six months ago for a fee of £9,500, but now could demand a six-figure fee.
Bielik
and his family have reportedly visited London to see the Emirates
Stadium and the Gunners' training facilities. They will also watch
Arsenal face Queens Park Rangers on Boxing Day.
It is believed that a transfer could be completed by the middle of January.
Big transfer hint
Michael Regan
Possible move: Winston Reid could be the man to come in during January
Arsene Wenger gave the biggest hint yet that he will sign a
defender in the January transfer window after the team's 4-1 win over
Newcastle.
When asked about the transfer market, he told Sky
Sports that his side does require a new face to help cover for the
constant injuries which they have suffered.
He said: "Well yes, with Laurent Koscielny's injury we're a bit cautious and we need cover."
Arsenal have been linked with a move for Winston Reid, while a big money move for Mats Hummels could also be on the cards.
What position does Arsene Wenger need to sign a player for in January?
