Bukayo Saka has enjoyed an incredible success at Arsenal since his first appearance under Unai Emery. Saka made his debut back in 2018 in a Europa League tie and has gone from strength to strength ever since. The Hale End graduate has quickly earned a reputation as one of Europe’s hottest prospects and is mentioned alongside the likes of Mohamed Salah as the deadliest wingers in the Premier League. Mikel Arteta relies heavily on Saka and his absence through hamstring surgery was felt last campaign as the Gunners struggled to fire up top. However, the 23-year-old may be about to…

The big man spoke with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Lauren Williams, revealing some of his emotions coming out of the trade. “Our season (with the Celtics) didn’t end last year the way we wanted to,” Porzingis told Williams. “But this is how it goes, you know. And…
Cristiano Ronaldo has urged Al Nassr to join Arsenal in the race to sign Rodrygo. The Real Madrid winger has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium for much of the summer, having struggled to force himself into Xabi Alonso’s plans. Rodrygo currently faces an uncertain future at the Santiago Bernabeu as he awaits assurances about his game time. Upon the former Liverpool midfielder’s unveiling as the new Los Blancos manager, he ruled out the Brazil international’s departure.

Olivia Smith is poised to become the world’s first women’s player to break the £1m transfer barrier after Liverpool accepted a world-record offer from Arsenal for the 20-year-old Canada forward. The fee agreed between Arsenal and Liverpool, according to sources, exceeds the $1.1m paid by Chelsea for the USA centre-back Naomi Girma in January.

She netted just under a third of the team’s league goals across the campaign. The young forward, who…
Ismael Bennacer does not seem to be part of AC Milan’s plans for next season, and a couple of clubs have been linked with a move. Milan made the decision to loan Bennacer to Marseille on deadline day of the winter window, but were apparently frustrated that he had asked to go there on the final day of the second straight window. Despite having an option to buy, the Ligue 1 side didn’t use it and so he returned. As Corriere dello Sport (via MilanPress) report today, Fiorentina want to give their new head coach Stefano Pioli a revamped midfield…
Arsenal’s hopes of landing Rodrygo Goes have received a timely boost, with Real Madrid now actively exploring an exit route for the Brazilian forward. Following Los Blancos’ humiliating 4-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup semi-final, manager Xabi Alonso is said to have made his stance clear on several underperforming players. According to MARCA, the club is no longer counting on Rodrygo, who did not feature at all in the loss and has fallen further down the pecking order. Despite starting only 22 league games last season, Rodrygo still managed six goals and five assists, but his…

While Juventus are plotting to terminate the contract for Dusan Vlahovic, Manchester United and Arsenal are keeping close tabs on the situation. The Bianconeri have already brought in a replacement in the shape of Jonathan David who signed as a free agent last week. Moreover, the club is looking to make room for Randal Kolo Muani whom they’re hoping to keep on a permanent transfer following his six-month loan spell from Paris Saint-Germain. Therefore, Juventus are keen to offload Vlahovic one way or the other, especially following his inconsistent displays over the past few years, which have hardly justified the…
