The Gunners were beaten to the Premier League title despite leading the table for 248 days – the most by any side not to claim the trophy in the competition’s history. A run of just two wins from eight league games across April and May – combined with a 12-match winning streak from City – saw Pep Guardiola’s side overhaul their rivals’ healthy lead atop the table. Arsenal also failed to come close to success in either the Europa League, FA Cup or Carabao Cup, meaning Arteta’s side ended what had looked a highly promising campaign empty-handed. Speaking ahead of…
The new football season gets underway this weekend and the first silverware of the season is up for grabs as Manchester City take on Arsenal in the Community Shield at Wembley. City won the Treble last season with a glorious and memorable campaign in which Pep Guardiola’s side claimed the Premier League, FA Cup and the Champions League. And now City will seek to defend all three of their crowns. Traditionally, the Community Shield sees the winners of the Premier League take on the holders of the FA Cup. However, City won both of these trophies last season, and it…
Fabrizio Romano reports that Nottingham Forest are now closing in on a deal for Matt Turner, with a verbal agreement in place and personal terms already agreed. The two clubs are now just finalising the details of the deal, after which it will be finalised. The Daily Mail report that Forest are close to a £7m move for Turner, a deal which is expected to help fund the Gunners’ move for Brentford’s David Raya. That fee would represent a small profit on the £5.3m Turner signing that Arsenal finalised just last summer. Arsenal also potentially owed the New England Revolution another £2.4m in bonuses for…
Given that we had the resources to buy Havertz and potentially a keeper we don’t need, it’s criminal that we might be starting the season with Eddie Nketiah as our number one striker. There was a poll on YouTube which asked -could the 24-year-old score more than 10 League goals- this campaign? Over 80 per cent said yes, which shows we have some who think the definition of being a supporter is to say everything about your club is wonderful. In reality, it’s unlikely that Eddie will score double figures in the Prem …. he’s only scored 14 period He played…
The Gunners will be squaring off against the league champions with memories of how they capitulated to the Citizens on the table last season still fresh. However, Arteta, full of plaudits for the City side, fancied his team’s chances against the Citizens. The Spaniard said his team are aware of exactly what to do for victory on Sunday in Wembley. “We’re very excited to play a final and have the opportunity to win a trophy against a team that is the team to beat. They were the best team in Europe last season, and we know what the standards and…
Folarin Balogun is running out of time. After just 60 minutes of football in pre-season with no goals or assists to show for it, the 22-year-old is not only well behind in his personal preparation but he continues to pale in comparison to his teammates. Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus and Leandro Trossard have all featured more across the frontline including multiple positions as part of a versatile attack. It’s a necessity of Mikel Arteta’s attack that his players bring more than just output to the side. Jesus’ best skill is arguably the way he drags defenders…
After Leeds was demoted last season, the USA captain is free to depart for a fixed £20 million. At Chelsea, the midfielder is seen as a potential replacement for Moises Caicedo of Brighton. The 24-year-old Adams has no desire to finish the season in the Championship. According to The Daily Mail, Chelsea plans to fulfil Adams’ buyout clause this week so he may play against Liverpool in their Premier League opener.
Mauricio Pochettino has made a significant Chelsea decision which could help the club save millions on a potential Moises Caicedo transfer. The Blues have been locked in talks with Brighton for the majority of the summer window and yet an agreement still appears some way off as the Seagulls are sticking by their £100million valuation In-person meetings have taken place with Chelsea and Brighton, along with Caicedo and his agent also meeting club chiefs to discuss a transfer, but still they are refusing to budge on their triple-figure asking price. A potential Caicedo boost may have arrived after Brighton and…
Super Falcons head coach, Randy Waldrum, seems unfazed by the possibility of a Keira Walsh comeback as his team gets ready to play the European Champions in the World Cup round of 16, Soccerhuz.com reports. The clash with England is set to take place in Brisbane on Monday, August 7, and both teams are gearing up for an intense knock-out match. England received a significant boost with star midfielder Keira Walsh back in full training. While it might be too soon for her to start, she will travel with the squad and could make an appearance for the Lioness. Despite…
This time next week Chelsea will be preparing to take on Liverpool in their first game of the 2023/24 season. The Blues are still searching for a number of reinforcements, with Moises Caicedo, Dusan Vlahovic, Mohammed Kudus and Michael Olise have all been linked with a move to west London. Chelsea are on course to miss out on Kudus, though. Reports on Saturday claimed the Ajax man was edging closer to a move to Brighton after the Seagulls reached an agreement in principle with the Dutch side. The disappointment of missing out on Kudus may open the door to securing the…
