The last international break of 2024 is almost over, meaning the Premier League is back this weekend.
Arsenal return to action on Saturday when they take on Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium (3pm kick-off). The Gunners are looking to end a run of three games without a win in all competitions.
They sit in fourth place in the Premier League, nine points behind leaders Liverpool. Nottingham Forest’s positive start sees them in fifth place, on the same points as Arsenal, something that adds extra emphasis on the game.
Arsenal are reportedly eying a move for Real Madrid youngster Arda Guler, who is unhappy with the Spanish club, according to reports in Spain.
Sport claim that the 19-year-old is unhappy with his game time with Real Madrid, which has prompted clubs to show an interest. Arsenal are one of those named, with the club said to see the Turkey international as a similar move to the one they made for Martin Odegaard, who was also struggling for game time at Real Madrid.
