Sporting Lisbon supporters have delivered a scathing message to Viktor Gyokeres amidst his anticipated transfer to Arsenal, with the forward seemingly forcing a move by going on strike. Arsenal’s pursuit has been drawn out, but Mirror Football reports that an enhanced bid from the Gunners includes a significantly lower commission for the player’s representative. During Sporting’s pre-season match against Celtic, which Brendan Rodgers’ team clinched 2-0, fans expressed their discontent through banners. A Bola revealed one banner’s message: “I don’t cry for those who leave, I’m happy for those who stay.” Another declared: “No one is above the club’s interests,…

Arsenal have walked away from deals to sign Real Madrid winger Rodrygo and Bayern Munich defensive midfielder Joao Palhinha, according to reports. The Gunners have been very active in the transfer market for most of the summer but there has been an increased amount of speculation in the last fortnight. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta and new sporting director Andrea Berta have already brought in Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard so far this summer. Deals for Chelsea winger Noni Madueke and Valencia centre-back Cristhian Mosquera are set to be completed soon, while Arsenal are edging closer to agreeing a…

Arsenal legend Paul Merson has theorised that the signing of Noni Madueke could be a preparation for life without Bukayo Saka. The Gunners hero wrote in his latest Sky Sports column that he is ‘shocked’ and ‘flabbergasted’ by the club bringing in a player similar to their star man Saka. Merson insisted that Madueke won’t be replacing his compatriot, but did put forward the theory that his arrival could mean Arsenal are preparing for life without Saka. Merson is clearly not a fan of the move for Madueke in the first place, claiming the reported £52million Arsenal are spending is…

Arsenal are reportedly making Bayern Munich defensive midfielder Joao Palhinha a concrete target for this summer. Serious negotiations are already said to have taken place, with the Gunners up against Inter Milan for the potential signing of Palhinha, according to Bild. The experienced Portugal international only joined Bayern from Fulham a year ago, but things haven’t really worked out for him at the Allianz Arena. It may now be that we’ll see Palhinha heading back to London, with Arsenal emerging as serious contenders for his signature. It’s perhaps easy to imagine Palhinha will be available after his lack of impact…

Viktor Gyokeres looks set to be denied the ideal welcome present when his move to Arsenal is officially confirmed. Talks at club level have been ongoing for a number of weeks but a full agreement is yet to be struck. Personal terms are not expected to be a problem, with Gyokeres having reportedly agreed a salary of around £200,000 per week. Arsenal are in desperate need of more firepower up top and will hope to complete a deal as quickly as possible. Earlier this week, it was reported that a transfer fee of £55million plus around £8.6m in bonus payments…

Manchester United and Arsenal are both in the market to sign a new striker this summer. The Gunners have been linked with several big names, but it looks like Andrea Berta is closing in on the signing of Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP. The Swede is an excellent signing for Mikel Arteta’s side, and he could make a big difference in their push to win the Premier League title in the upcoming campaign. As for Manchester United, one of Arsenal’s old targets could become an option for them in the coming days. Ollie Watkins is up there with the best…

Arsenal will be eagerly awaiting the 2025/26 season as they aim to finally clinch the Premier League title. Gunners’ head coach Mikel Arteta acknowledged that his team had a tough season last term, given their usual high standards. Despite securing another runner-up spot in the top-flight, Arteta’s squad fell notably short of champions Liverpool. However, there remains a sense of optimism at the Emirates Stadium that the summer transfer window could bring in the right players to end Arsenal’s league title drought. One such new addition is Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi. The Basque club were unable to retain their…

AC Milan and Club Brugge remain without an agreement over Ardon Jashari, but Inter could be the ones who hold the key. Jashari has made it clear that he only wants to join Milan, but the last obstacle is still to be overcome and that is agreeing a transfer fee with Club Brugge. As MilanNews reports, the latest offer of €32.5m plus bonuses remains on the table but is yet to receive a concrete response either way. The report adds that there’s another factor behind the stalemate regarding Jashari’s move to Milan, linked to a signing that Brugge are seeking…

Paul Merson, former Arsenal star, has criticised the club’s decision to sign attacker Noni Madueke from Chelsea. Merson insisted that Madueke isn’t clinical in front of goal, adding that he’s flabbergasted by the Gunners’ decision. Madueke is joining Chelsea’s London rivals, Arsenal, in this summer transfer window after reaching an agreement with the Blues. “I’m flabbergasted by Arsenal signing of Noni Madueke. I am shocked,” Merson told Sky Sports. “I just don’t see it. It’s a lot of money for a player who isn’t a prolific goalscorer. “He’s the sort of player that has a good game here and a…

AC Milan will give a big number to Pietro Terracciano after he has signed a two year deal with the club this evening. By all accounts, the move for Terracciano is just waiting to be announced. The goalkeeper arrived at Casa Milan on Wednesday evening to complete the formalities of his deal, and despite Marco Sportiello’s future yet to be completed, the deal can go through shortly. In fact, Peppe Di Stefano told Sky Sport (via MilanNews) that he has signed a deal to become the Rossoneri’s new second-choice goalkeeper, and will be available for Massimiliano Allegri as early as…
