Sporting director Andrea Berta and Mikel Arteta vowed this would be a “big” transfer window for the Gunners but it’s not really got going as yet as they continue to dally in their quest for a new striker and left winger. Martin Zubimendi will join from Real Sociedad for £51m as a replacement for Jorginho, but some of their reported £300m budget will now likely need to be spent on another new central midfielder. That’s thanks to the stunning revelation that Thomas Partey believes his talents to be worth more than £200,000 per week, leading Arsenal to spread the net…

With the end of the season comes the end of an era for some at Arsenal, with the Gunners releasing some players this summer. The Arsenal retained list revealed that 20 players across the men’s, women’s and academy sides have been released. Among those who won’t be returning to the Emirates Stadium next season is Raheem Sterling, who saw his loan spell from Chelsea come to an end. With it being an important summer for the winger, he has been busy since leaving Arsenal. Arsenal loanee Raheem Sterling struggled over the past season, failing to make much of an impact…

Arsenal are looking to add a winger to Mikel Arteta’s squad this summer, and Rodrygo is now firmly established as their top target. The Gunners want to bolster their wide forward options after the likes of Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Martinelli and Raheem Sterling all failed to produce what was needed last season. Arteta is convinced Rodrygo is the right man, and the North Londoners are reportedly prepared to make the deal happen. Xabi Alonso has waxed lyrical about the Brazilian since arriving at the Bernabeu this summer, although this may well be public posturing given the Spanish manager’s latest decision…

Andrea Berta might have made his first transfer error as Arsenal continue to pursue two striker targets. The Gunners have been linked to both Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres, who impressed at their respective clubs over 2024/25. Berta likes Gyokeres as Arsenal’s admiration for the Swede was reported shortly after the Italian’s arrival in N5. That being said, it’s Sesko who was considered to be Arsenal’s primary target, which is where the sporting director’s first slip-up might have occurred. There are doubts over Arsenal signing Gyokeres despite the 27-year-old finding the net 54 times over the 2024/25 calendar. Concerns come…

“We discussed their ideas. We’re well aware of the Financial Fair Play situation for the next two transfer windows, but there’s a strong club and strong owners who want to invest in Roma, perhaps in a more sustainable way than in the past. Above all, they want to take Roma high. That was more than enough for me to get a good impression.” During any introductory press conference, you expect the incoming manager—in this case, former Atalanta architect Gian Piero Gasperini—to touch on the basics: tactics, incoming transfers, what excites him about his new club, and so on. What you…

With the NBA Finals now over and the Oklahoma City Thunder crowned as champions, the Los Angeles Lakers and their fans can fully turn their attention to the task of addressing the team’s multiple roster needs. First on the Lakers’ to-do list is acquiring a starting-caliber center. According to one reporter, they may have made a trade offer for Walker Kessler, an emerging 23-year-old stud for the Utah Jazz, and he is someone they have reportedly been interested in for a while. But per Brett Siegel, Kessler may not even be available. “As reported by ClutchPoints’ Los Angeles Lakers insider…

The Oklahoma City Thunder adopted the mantra “be where your feet are” to maintain focus during the intense moments of the NBA. This approach was crucial in their journey, beginning with a pivotal game against the Lakers in 2023, leading to their improbable rise from a struggling team to NBA champions. Under head coach Mark Daigneault, they solidified their status as one of the greatest teams in NBA history, winning their first championship by defeating the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 of the 2025 Finals. By the Numbers The Thunder achieved 68 wins in the regular season, the highest since…

The first time Alex Caruso did this, it was in the Bubble. The Lakers’ 2020 NBA championship guard didn’t have pressure-packed playoff crowds to deal with. He could wreck games as a dominant defender in relative solitude. This time around, Caruso had packed arenas watching his every move. And boy, did he put on a show. Caruso is the rare defensive player who is absolutely electric. He gets up into ballhandlers. He evades screens magically. He knocks the basketball away out of nowhere. He makes plenty of solid offensive contributions, too. And with Caruso helping set the tone, the Oklahoma…

Arsenal are expected to sign another midfielder after completing the transfer of Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi, according to reports. Zubimendi’s move to the Gunners is now seen as a case of when, not if, despite the Spanish press trying to push a switch to Real Madrid. Multiple reports claim the Spain international is currently in London to finalise the move, with Ben Jacobs stating that Madrid ‘never made an offer’. He wrote on X: “Martin Zubimendi in London to complete his Arsenal move from Real Sociedad. Deal agreed in principle in May. Real Madrid never made a formal approach. Arsenal…
