Who’s going to buy Nicolas Jackson? Fabrizio Romano’s Tweet from last night assures those following the saga that “Premier League clubs and AC Milan are informed on Jackson situation,” but also reiterates that “nothing is advanced yet.” The AC Milan situation seems like a non-starter. Chelsea wouldn’t sell him for less than £50m at a bare minimum as far as we can see. And there’s no way that Milan are ready to spend that on a player. The Premier League options are interesting – but even then, can a deal get done? Aston Villa would love him. And maybe they…
If we move the hands of our clock back exactly 365 days, we find ourselves looking at a Milan side that, under the “full-backs” category, featured the following names: Davide Calabria, Emerson Royal, and Pierre Kalulu on the right. Then, there were Theo Hernandez, Filippo Terracciano, and Alex Jimenez on the left. With Kalulu departing shortly after mid-August, Kyle Walker joined the list in January, replacing Calabria, who moved to Bologna mid-season. Today, of all those names, the only one still in the squad is Alex Jimenez who, moreover, last season started out as a starter for Milan Futuro. A…
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Milan striker Noah Okafor has an agreement with Leeds United, but the Rossoneri are yet to give their green light. Premier League side Leeds have reached an agreement with Milan striker Okafor, according to Gazzetta dello Sport journalist Luca Bianchin. According to the report, the English club aims to finalise a permanent transfer, but are still looking for an agreement with Milan who have not yet approved Okafor’s transfer. Okafor has returned to San Siro after a six-month loan spell at Napoli, where he became Serie A champion in 2024-25. The Switzerland international joined…
Jakub Kiwior’s Arsenal future looks increasingly uncertain, with CaughtOffside reporting that Everton, Wolves and Crystal Palace are all showing interest in the Polish centre-back. The 25-year-old was left out of the squad entirely for Arsenal’s clash with Manchester United on Sunday, a telling sign given the competition for places at the back. With Cristhian Mosquera and Riccardo Calafiori now providing depth for Gabriel, Kiwior has slipped further down Mikel Arteta’s pecking order. A source from Poland has also confirmed that talks regarding his exit are taking place, with FC Porto another interested party. Kiwior proved himself to be a solid…
Real Madrid will not be signing Arsenal star William Saliba this summer after the Gunners rejected a bold offer. Despite already bringing in three new defenders this summer, club president Florentino Perez is reportedly open to more spending before the transfer window closes, with France international Saliba a long-term target. Real Madrid’s interest in Saliba stretches back over 12 months, despite the Gunners working on a contract extension for him at the Emirates Stadium, with his current deal up in 2027. The lure of Madrid is strong, but Mikel Arteta has openly stated his confidence over retaining Saliba with Basque coach…
After three appearances for Arsenal in pre-season, Viktor Gyokeres has now made his official debut in red. Before Arsenal travelled to Old Trafford, there was a lot of talk about whether Mikel Arteta would start either Viktor Gyokeres or Kai Havertz up front. In truth, Theo Walcott thought Gyokeres would be benched for the opener – he was convinced that Arteta would choose familiarity in the shape of Havertz as his nine. However, Arteta made the bold call to start Gyokeres immediately, even if he isn’t quite up to speed and in sync with his teammates just yet. Following his…
Manchester City have completed the permanent signing of Austrian defender Laura Wienroither from Arsenal on a two-year contract, securing her services until the summer of 2027. The 26-year-old, who impressed during a loan spell with City in the latter half of the 2024/25 season, joins the club amid efforts to strengthen their squad under new head coach Andree Jeglertz. Wienroither, an Austria international with 40 caps, initially joined Manchester City on a short-term loan in January 2025, making eight appearances and contributing to the team’s defensive stability. Her positive integration during that period paved the way for this full-time move,…
The excitement before meeting against Manchester United for Arsenal supporters was that they were going to see their new £64m signing Viktor Gyokeres in action in a Premier League match. The Gunners have come into this season with a new direct style that they are hoping will get the best out of the Sweden striker, and be the difference in them lifting a trophy during this campaign. Gyokeres’ main attributes are using his power and strength to burst through the centre-backs and boss Mikel Arteta is trying to increase the amount of chances he gets. However, Gyokeres is lacking in…
Arsenal made a winning start to their Premier League season on Sunday but there are still some questions left unanswered. Riccardo Calafiori’s close-range effort made the difference against Manchester United, but Mikel Arteta’s side weren’t at their best in every area. New big-money signing Viktor Gyokeres was unconvincing on his first start in England’s top flight, managing just an hour before making way for Kai Havertz. It may well be that Arteta decides the Swede needs more support before deadline day. Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze is one of those who has been linked all summer long, though Tottenham appear…
Arsenal ticked off their first win of the season on Sunday when they narrowly defeated Manchester United at Old Trafford thanks to a first-half header from Riccardo Calafiori. The Gunners rode their luck at times in a well-contested opening weekend clash, but they got the all-important three points to get off on the right foot. As the season begins, Mikel Arteta and Andrea Berta will still want to carefully craft the squad, with departures likely, and potentially another incoming. Here we round up all the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding the Emirates Stadium. Zinchenko agreed Arsenal are said to…
