Eberechi Eze is on course to complete a dream switch to Arsenal after the attacking midfielder’s boyhood club gazumped their arch-rivals, Tottenham, at the last minute to agree a deal for the Crystal Palace star. Eze, 27, is a Gunners fan and spent time in the club’s academy before being released at the age of 13. It’s taken 14 years, but the England star will soon finally pull on the famous red and white shirt of Arsenal following another stellar season in Crystal Palace colours. And as if the FA Cup winner needed a further sweetener to the deal, there…
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has explained what David Raya brings to the squad that he thinks is a “big advantage” for the Gunners. David Raya has been a solid acquisition for Arsenal since his £27million move from Brentford in 2024, a year after his £3million loan switch to the Emirates Stadium. Last Sunday, Raya played a big part in securing a 1-0 win at Manchester United, pulling off some great saves against the likes of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. Raya is expected to start against Leeds United on Saturday and, speaking at his pre-match presser, Mikel Arteta sang the…
Ademola Lookman has handed in a transfer request at Atalanta as he wishes to pursue a new challenge, and while a switch to Inter Milan looked likely, the Nerazzurri were unwilling to match his £52 million valuation. Consequent to that, the player has opened the door to joining a Premier League side and according to TBR Football, he has already held talks with Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, as well as Aston Villa and Manchester City. Lookman scored 20 goals and provided seven assists in all competitions for La Dea last season, but after refusing to return to first-team action,…
Arsenal Women have suffered an early setback in their preparations for the 2025/26 Women’s Super League (WSL) campaign, with captain Leah Williamson ruled out for the opening weeks due to a knee injury. The 28-year-old England international underwent a minor “clean-up” procedure on her right knee last week after experiencing swelling in the aftermath of the Lionesses’ Euro 2025 final victory over Spain on July 27, according to reports from The Standard and Sky Sports. Williamson, who played the full 120 minutes and successfully converted a penalty in England’s shootout win to secure a second consecutive European title, returned to…
Financial Fair Play is a many-headed beast, with Arsenal forced to fight on multiple fronts. If we’re being accurate, ‘Financial Fair Play’ or ‘FFP’ hasn’t existed for several years now. In the Premier League, it’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), while in Europe it’s Financial Sustainability Regulations. To complicate matters, UEFA’s rules – with which Arsenal must comply due to playing in the Champions League – are split into three separate systems relating to A) solvency, B) stability and C) cost control. The Premier League meanwhile, whose current rules are relatively simple and based on a club’s bottom line, are…
One of the reasons that Real Madrid star Rodrygo Goes has not yet left the club this summer is a a lack of options on the table. The Brazilian has demonstrated that he can mix it with the best in the game, but with Xabi Alonso making it clear that he does not have an important role to play at the Santiago Bernabeu, he is still yet to received a firm exit offer that he would consider. There has been some suggestion that Tottenham Hotspur could make a loan offer for Rodrygo, a move he has so far been uninterested…
After blowing Tottenham Hotspur out of the water for Eberechi Eze, Arsenal could affect Liverpool’s chances of signing one of Europe’s best players, according to a source, as Gunners manager Mikel Arteta and sporting director Andrea Berta plan to further strengthen the attack so that they can wrestle the Premier League title away from Arne Slot’s side. Just when Tottenham were gaining in confidence of sealing a deal for Eze, Arsenal pressed ahead for the signing of the Crystal Palace attacking midfielder and wrapped up a deal. Eze is expected to officially become an Arsenal player this weekend and enhance…
Arsenal have had a productive summer with six signings thus far. The club have primarily focused on bolstering the forward department. Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres have already joined, while Eberechi Eze is poised to become the club’s seventh summer signing soon. Ahead of the Leeds United game, manager Mikel Arteta was asked whether the club could bring in one more player to complete the squad. The Spaniard did not rule out the prospect, highlighting that there is still a long time in the window. Based on Arteta’s comments, let’s have a look at who could be signed before the…
Mikel Arteta believes he has the most complete squad in his time as Arsenal manager – and the club will now look to get players out the door before the transfer window closes. Arsenal have made six signings this summer and that is set to rise to seven when they complete a deal worth £67.5million for Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze. The arrival of Eze will take the Gunners’ summer spending to the £250m mark and Arteta believes he has his best squad since becoming Arsenal manager. “In terms of numbers and quality, yes for sure,” he said, when asked…
Mikel Arteta warned that this Arsenal squad is his strongest since taking charge almost six years ago. The Gunners have spent around £190million on six players — with their total set to reach £250m from the signing of Eberechi Eze. The Crystal Palace star had his medical yesterday after Arsenal hijacked the transfer from rivals Tottenham on Wednesday night. The 27-year-old was in line to join Spurs after agreeing terms with the club, before Arsenal swooped in. That was just hours after Havertz missed an open training session because of a knee injury he picked up against Manchester United on…
