Arsenal need to move on from Eberechi Eze and instead focus their attention on signing Rodrygo from Real Madrid. The 2025/26 season feels definitive for Arsenal. They enter the new campaign off the back of an impressive previous term, one that saw them reach the semi-finals of the Champions League and finish second in the Premier League for a third consecutive year. Manager Mikel Arteta has proven that he can contend for honours with the Gunners, but the Spaniard’s last major trophy lift came with the 2019/20 FA Cup. As such, many feel that this season, after a summer of…
In their £200m summer rebuild, United opted against bringing in a new keeper. With first choice Andre Onana not playing a game in a pre-season because of a hamstring injury he suffered at the start of last month, Amorim selected Turkey international Altay Bayindir ahead of veteran Tom Heaton for his side’s opening Premier League game. But Bayindir allowed himself to get trapped on his line as Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice curled a dangerous 13th-minute corner underneath the crossbar. Bayindir could only get a weak hand to the ball and ended up pushing it on to Calafiori, who turned home…
Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta is determined to stop William Saliba from leaving for Real Madrid, according to Fabrizio Romano, as the defender’s comments on signing a potential new deal with the Gunners come to light. Saliba is one of the best centre-backs in the world and is one of the top targets for Madrid. The defender is out of contract at Arsenal in the summer of 2027, and Madrid’s plan is to sign the France international central defender for a modest fee at the end of next season. Los Blancos signed Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth earlier this summer, but…
Viktor Gyokeres’ Arsenal debut was met with similar responses from supporters after he struggled against Manchester United on Sunday. The £63.5 million striker was handed a start at Old Trafford, where Arsenal claimed a 1-0 win thanks to an early header from Riccardo Calafiori after a Declan Rice corner. But the Swede could not get off the mark against a side managed by his former boss Ruben Amorim and was largely ineffective in the clash. The former Coventry City and Brighton man had twenty-one touches and nine passes in his hour on the pitch but failed to have a single…
Ruben Amorim has revealed Andre Onana was left out of the matchday squad against Arsenal because of the performances of Manchester United’s other goalkeepers in pre-season. Onana missed all five of United’s pre-season friendlies through injury but has been back in training. Amorim had left the Cameroon international sweating over his place by refusing to confirm whether he would be involved in the squad during Friday’s pre-match press conference. And the Portuguese head coach named United’s back-up goalkeeper Altay Bayindir in the starting XI, with third choice goalkeeper Tom Heaton named on the bench. Despite Onana’s lack of games in…

Marseille could be set to bring Milan midfielder Ismael Bennacer back to the club, just a couple of months after the Ligue 1 side refused their option to purchase the player permanently after his loan spell in France. According to what has been reported by the Gazzetta dello Sport, via MilanNews.it, Roberto De Zerbi’s Marseille would like to bring the Algerian back to France on loan whilst the Rossoneri would prefer a permanent sale – in order to help finance any late additions to their own squad. De Zerbi’s side lost their season opener on Friday evening, defeated 1-0 by…
Rasmus Hojlund has been dropped for Manchester United’s Premier League opener against Arsenal at Old Trafford amid talk of a move to AC Milan. Ruben Amorim has left Hojlund out of his team to face the Gunners at Old Trafford following the arrival of new striker Benjamin Sesko, according to The Athletic. Hojlund has also been told he faces a “challenge” to see first-team minutes this season under Amorim, with United willing to offload the striker. Hojlund has said he wants to stay and fight for his place but has been linked with a move to AC Milan. Supporters have…
Pep Guardiola was full of praise for Tijjani Reijnders after his outstanding Manchester City debut in which he racked up two goal contributions. Last month, Reijnders said goodbye to Milan in favour of a new experience in the Premier League, in what could become a club-record sale for the Rossoneri. He joined Guardiola at Manchester City, and made a good first impression at the Club World Cup. Reijnders marked his Premier League debut for City with a goal and an assist. After the 4-0 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers, manager Guardiola had plenty of positive words for the Dutchman. “A really…
The Brighton midfielder has been linked with a transfer to Old Trafford since the beginning of August. However, The Athletic’s David Ornstein reported on Friday that United are ‘not planning’ to proceed with the deal due to Brighton’s unwillingness to sell. It is also claimed that they are demanding a similar fee for the 21-year-old to the £115 million that Chelsea paid to sign Moises Caicedo in 2023. Baleba started Brighton’s 1-1 draw against Fulham on Saturday, before being substituted on 65 minutes. United, meanwhile, are preparing to host Arsenal at Old Trafford in their opening game of the Premier…
