Arsenal is widely expected to be among the main contenders for the Premier League title this season, with many observers believing they have a genuine opportunity to claim the crown. Having come close to lifting the trophy for three consecutive campaigns, there is a growing confidence that this could be their year. The pressure on Mikel Arteta to deliver silverware has increased, as the team has been unable to take the final step in recent seasons.

Liverpool’s pursuit of Marc Guehi could spell bad news for Premier League rivals Arsenal and Tottenham. The Reds are keen to continue their immense spending spree by injecting further quality into their defensive ranks, having facilitated the sale of Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen earlier this summer. Following the signings of fullbacks Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez, Arne Slot is now hoping to bring in at least one more centre-back to push Ibrahima Konate for a starting spot alongside Virgil van Dijk. Guehi was identified as Liverpool’s top target in that department earlier this summer after impressing when guiding Crystal…
Blackburn Rovers have made a fresh move to secure the future of teenage striker Igor Tyjon, offering the 17-year-old a professional contract amid mounting interest from Arsenal, according to Alan Nixon on Patreon. The Championship side have already turned down two offers from the Gunners for the highly rated forward, whose performances at youth level and brief first-team cameos have caught the eye. Tyjon, on a scholarship deal until 2026, became eligible for professional terms in March, and Blackburn have been working to tie him down on a long-term basis since then. Arsenal’s pursuit began earlier this summer, with an…

While Arsenal want to sign Eze, who has a £68m release clause which…
Arsenal have ambitions to complete late transfer business this summer as the start of the Premier League closes in. Having already brought in six players to the squad, spending close to £200million, there is still yet more desire to complete some late moves. Following the 3-0 victory over Athletic Club, Mikel Arteta was asked in the post-match press conference what the status of the club’s market activity was. The Spaniard stopped short of guaranteeing any more deals, but admittedly, Arsenal would still be aware of the potential for more deals. “Let’s see what happens in terms of where the squad…
Arsenal are one of the world’s richest football clubs and, after several years in the wilderness, have now reasserted themselves financially under Stan Kroenke. The catalyst? A sporting revival led by Mikel Arteta and a re-think of how Arsenal do things commercially. That revival has not yet delivered a coveted Premier League or Champions League trophy, but it laid the foundations that allow the Gunners to compete with the biggest and best in the transfer market. Stan Kroenke has loaned the club over £300m since he bought the club outright. Factor in the price he paid for his shares and…

Arsenal fans are now only days away from seeing Viktor Gyokeres in competitive action under Mikel Arteta. In a 3-0 win over Athletic Club in the Emirates Cup, Viktor Gyokeres scored his first goal for Arsenal, and his famous celebration was finally witnessed in N5.

The early signs have been very positive from the Swede, even if he may take some time to fully adjust to Arteta’s football. In that regard, Noni Madueke…
Former Sporting CP star Cristiano Ronaldo is confident of ex-Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres’ quality. The Swedish striker, who scored more than 50 goals for the Portuguese side last term, has been hailed by Ronaldo as a “special” footballer. Gyokeres played under Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim in Portugal, and there had been suggestions he would follow Ronaldo’s path by leaving the Lisbon club for a move to Old Trafford. Instead, he has chosen Arsenal and will line up against United this weekend. Ronaldo was up against Portuguese opposition in pre-season, scoring a hat-trick as Al-Nassr beat Rio Ave 4-0.…
