Arsenal have made progress in the transfer market over the past week. The Gunners confirmed the arrival of goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea on Tuesday. Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi could be unveiled today, while they have already exchanged ‘all paperwork‘ to sign Brentford captain Christian Norgaard. A Bola (page 2) today report that Sporting CP are convinced that Viktor Gyokeres will report for pre-season training on July 7 despite ‘concrete’ Arsenal interest. The Gunners have so far made an informal bid of £47.5 million plus £8.6m in add-ons for the striker, which has been rejected. They are willing to…
If you’re inclined to believe some of the noises that were emerging yesterday from some of the more well-informed ITKs, then today is Zubi Day, with the club set to announce the Spaniard as their latest signing from Real Sociedad. It makes sense, really, after they made a fairly significant announcement on the women’s side yesterday with Chloe Kelly officially confirming herself as an Arsenal player. I’m not a regular watcher of the women, but the increase in coverage on Sky has enabled me to become a little bit more invested in the team and this feels like a significant…
If there is one thing Arsenal need to add to their squad ahead of next season, it’s goals. Despite coming second in the Premier League, Mikel Arteta’s side scored 17 goals fewer than champions Liverpool and three fewer than third-placed Manchester City. Fortunately, the club appear keen to address the problem this summer, as over the last few weeks, and particularly the last seven days, the Gunners have been linked with a host of incredible attacking talents. One of those who has been heavily touted for a move to the Emirates for some time now is Benjamin Sesko, and while…
Arsenal have released a statement following the news that Liverpool and Portugal forward Diogo Jota has very sadly passed away at the age of 28. He, alongside his 26-year-old brother Andre Silva, who also tragically lost his life, were reportedly involved in a road traffic accident in Spain in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Today, 3 July 2025, Mike Maignan turn 30. Now in his fourth season with the Club, the French goalkeeper has been a constant source of leadership and a top performer between the sticks. He made 53 total appearances in all competitions in 2024/25 and kept 15 clean sheets. He was often decisive, making a host of great saves, including in the derby against Inter in the Cup and again against Fiorentina. Maignan is such an important member of the group, as the campaign just gone has proven. Since his arrival in 2021, Magic Mike has won the confidence of his…
Liverpool forward, Diogo Jota, has died in a car accident in Spain. According to the Daily Mail, the 28-year-old was travelling in the vehicle with his brother, Andre. It is reported that the car went off the road on the A-52 in the province of Zamora. Jota’s tragic passing comes only two weeks after he got married to his long-term girlfriend, Rute Cardoso, in Porto. The forward was part of the Liverpool squad that won the Premier League title in May during Arne Slot’s first season.
Arsenal players were quick to share their excitement after the club confirmed their first summer signing ahead of what promises to be a busy window. Arsenal are expected to be active in the market, with several high-profile targets linked as Mikel Arteta looks to strengthen his squad for the new season. It also marks the beginning of a new era for Andrea Berta, who joined as sporting director following a successful 12-year spell at Atletico Madrid, and will no doubt be eager to make an immediate impact at the Emirates. The club have already confirmed a number of outgoings, with…
Andrea Berta isn’t keen to extend Leandro Trossard’s contract at the player’s current wage demands, according to a report, perhaps explaining the delay in the forward’s new deal. L’Equipe report that Leandro Trossard could be on the market this summer, as Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta doesn’t wish to extend his contract at the salary level the forward is asking for. Contract talks had appeared to be going well, with Sami Mokbel reporting for the BBC in May that the player was in advanced talks over a new deal, with all parties confident of an agreement. But over a month…
The Los Angeles Lakers are beginning to reshape their roster as they look to stay competitive in the Western Conference after a 50-32 regular season ended in disappointment with a first-round playoff exit against the Minnesota Timberwolves. And their first confirmed departure of the offseason is forward Dorian Finney-Smith, who won’t be lining up alongside Luka Doncic, LeBron James and new arrival Jake LaRavia. The 32-year-old has declined his $15.4 million player option for the 2025-26 season, officially parting ways with the Lakers just months after arriving from the Brooklyn Nets in December. Finney-Smith quickly became a key piece of…
Arsenal are closing in on a major breakthrough in their pursuit of Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres, with the club now in advanced talks to finalise a deal for the prolific Swede. Transfer expert Sacha Tavolieri reports that the Gunners have already agreed personal terms on a five-year contract with the 27-year-old, and there is growing confidence that a full agreement with Sporting is within reach. New sporting director Andrea Berta is leading negotiations and, according to L’Equipe, views Gyokeres as a key piece in Arsenal’s summer rebuild.
