Mikel Arteta only has a few days left on the training pitches at London Colney before Arsenal return to domestic action. The Gunners have won each of their last four games, across all competitions, and they remain unbeaten in the Premier League since April.
Arteta’s side will be keen to extend that run when they lock horns with AFC Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday. As it stands, just one point separates Liverpool at the top of the table from Manchester City, and the north Londoners.
With Arne Slot’s men ready to face Chelsea at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, Arteta will be hoping to set pace and claim first place.
Alexander Isak has put Arsenal on ‘red alert’ after negotiations with Newcastle over his proposed new contract have stalled. The 25-year-old striker, who sees his current deal at St James’ Park expire in June 2028, has been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium for a while now, dating back to his spell in Spain.
