Arsenal’s pursuit of Eberechi Eze may have been handed a huge boost with Al Ahli completing the signing of Enzo Millot from Stuttgart. As announced by Al Ahli and the Bundesliga outfit on Saturday, Millot has signed a three-year deal with the Saudi Pro League club. Neither club have provided financial details of the deal, but local media claim Al Ahli have paid £25.9million (€30million) for the 23-year-old attacking midfielder. Millot joined Stuttgart in 2021 and made 43 appearances across all competitions last season, scoring 12 goals and providing eight assists. Furthermore, he netted twice in their 4-2 German Cup…
Arsenal finished their pre-season in emphatic fashion by beating Athletic Club. Viktor Gyokeres and Bukayo Saka struck in the first half, with substitute Kai Havertz adding a third late on. The Gunners were rarely troubled defensively and kept a clean sheet in what was an impressive performance. Arsenal kick off their Premier League campaign against Manchester United at Old Trafford next week and will now head there in a confident mood. And, here, Standard Sport takes a look at three talking points from Arsenal’s final pre-season game… New midfield shines Until this game, Mikel Arteta had elected not to start…
Viktor Gyokeres scored his first goal for Arsenal as the Gunners rounded off their pre-season by beating Athletic Club. Gyokeres scored the opening goal of the friendly at Emirates Stadium, heading home a cross just after the half-hour mark. Bukayo Saka struck again just two minutes after that as Mikel Arteta’s side went into half-time two goals to the good. Arsenal continued to control the game after the break and Kai Havertz scored a third late on to seal the win. David Raya 6 Had very little to do and this was a quiet afternoon for the Spaniard. The defence in…
Arsenal’s final pre-season game saw the Gunners beat Athletic Bilbao 3-0, with both Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz scoring. There has been huge focus on the new signing, and perhaps little on the German international who finished last season as the club’s top scorer. In conversation with the press, Mikel Arteta said both players can help the team drive forward and reach new levels. Gyokeres headed Arsenal in front before Bukayo Saka doubled the lead, then in the second half Havertz scored an impressive breakaway goal to seal the victory. Speaking afterwards, the Arsenal boss said, “That first goal is…
The Los Angeles Lakers are faced with a massive decision this season, which could result in them losing two stars. The Lakers re-signed Luka Doncic this summer to bring some much-needed stability to the franchise after a turbulent summer. Both Doncic and LeBron James’ futures were uncertain as James considered leaving LA in search of his fifth NBA title. They have since made moves, such as signing DeAndre Ayton and Marcus Smart. With Doncic re-signed and James seemingly set to stay, the ship has been steadied. But the Lakers face another huge decision this season. The Lakers’ third star, Austin…
Luka Doncic’s first six months with the Los Angeles Lakers were more than enough to give him a vision of a glittering long-term future with his new team. He sees championship banners, trophies and team success while living in a cosmopolitan city and playing for a world-famous team. He envisions his name and number in the rafters alongside every other transcendent great to wear the Lakers’ gold jersey. So Doncic took the next step toward turning his dreams into reality Saturday when he agreed to a three-year, $165 million maximum contract extension through 2028 with the Lakers, bypassing a chance…
The new improved Luka Doncic returned to action to represent his country. Luka Doncic has played his first game since the LA Lakers‘ first round playoff elimination at the start of June. Doncic took a month break from basketball and focused purely on improving his body and conditioning, and proudly showed off the results, earning praise from Magic Johnson. Now he is back on the court again, playing for Slovenia against Germany in a friendly international fixture as both teams prepare for the upcoming EuroBasket competition. Luka Doncic admitted before the game that he was unclear how many minutes he…
New signings are not the only thing to get excited about this summer for Arsenal fans, some vital contracts have been secured. The latest comes in the form of two young stars. Arsenal have confirmed that exciting young talents Ethan Nwaneri (18) and Andre Harriman-Annous (17) have both signed new long-term contracts with the club, underlining the Gunners’ commitment to building for the future. The news follows on from the earlier summer announcement that fellow academy star Myles Lewis-Skelly had also put pen to paper on fresh terms. Together, the trio represent some of the most highly rated prospects from…
Arsenal signed Noni Madueke from Premier League rivals Chelsea in the summer 2025 transfer window to provide more depth up front. Madueke joined for a fee amounting to a total of £52m from Chelsea, making him one of many players to make the switch from Stamford Bridge to the Emirates. Madueke is an England international, and regarded as one of the most technically talented wingers in the Premier League. At the age of 23, the winger has plenty of development left to go, and Mikel Arteta will hope that despite facing criticism for the signing, Arsenal will reap the benefits…
Arsenal are still interested in Real Madrid star Rodrygo – but will only sign him on one condition. Rodrygo’s future has been a major talking point in recent months after the Brazilian endured a difficult campaign at the Bernabeu. The forward, 24, had developed into an integral player for Real since joining from Brazilian side Santos for €45million (£37.9m) in 2019, but he found himself further down the pecking order in 2024-25 after Kylian Mbappe’s arrival last summer. Things appeared to come to a head when he reportedly told the club he never wanted to play for them again before…
