Unlike some of their rivals, Arsenal have no real reason to indulge in the opportunity presented by the various open transfer windows across the world. Albeit, mainly Chelsea and Manchester United are desperate to offload stars that Mikel Arteta simply doesn’t have, there is no panic in place. Even the frustrating nature of drawing 1-1 …

Whilst it seems unlikely, perhaps Arteta may actually be tempted to use Calafiori in a back three against Tottenham. Arsenal are missing Rice because of the ‘ridiculous’ decision to send him off for a second yellow card against Brighton, and perhaps operating with one less midfielder could be a solution. Calafiori could play alongside Saliba and …

If Mikel Arteta didn’t already have enough to ponder from a team selection point of view ahead of the North London derby, Arsenal may now have another injury issue. Upon joining up for international duty with Norway, Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has been labelled a doubt ahead of his country’s meeting with Kazakhstan. Odegaard has a fresh injury according …
The 2024/25 campaign is set to be a significant one for Timber as, not only does he need to prove his fitness after a serious injury, but the arrival of Riccardo Calafiori provides fierce competition on the left. So far this season, the man from Utrecht has played at left-back, which can also invert into …
It’s interesting to hear Nelson say that he’s joined Fulham to get more minutes, because it’s unclear how much he will actually play during this spell. Indeed, Fulham already have some great options on the wing. Adama Traore has been the Whites’ best attacking player so far this season down the right side, while the …

The departure of Southgate, and the worryingly quiet displays of Kane during UEFA Euro 2024, suggest there is now an opening for a new talisman to step up and become a symbol of the next era for England. Bellingham is an obvious candidate to become the man for England, but in our view, Saka – who Troy Deeney …

Bukayo Saka has done most of the heavy lifting in terms of attacking output at Arsenal over the past 12 months, so it’s about time the others stepped up this season. The 23-year-old has the highest ceiling among all their other attackers, so Arsenal are sitting on a bit of a gold mine. There are suggestions …

Arsenal have named four contenders for their first Player of the Month award of the season and summer signing David Raya is up for the award. Raya spent last season on loan at The Emirates and completed a £27m permanent deal to join the Gunners this summer. Mikel Arteta decided last season to favour the Spaniard shot-stopper over Aaron Ramsdale, …
The international break is in full swing and Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will be sincerely hoping that his players return unscathed. He can hardly afford to lose any more midfielders with both Mikel Merino and Declan Rice absent for the North London Derby through injury and suspension. Thomas Partey and Martin Odegaard are both on duty with …
