Legendary Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes that the Gunners will have to overcome a mental block if they are to beat Manchester City in the Community Shield. Mikel Arteta’s men take on treble winners City at Wembley on Sunday, hoping to win the Shield for the second time in four years. They defeated Liverpool in the event in 2020 and are involved in Sunday’s game having finished runners-up to City in the Premier League last term. They had led the way for much of the campaign, before a disastrous run of results in the final two months. Two of their…
Former Barcelona striker, Gary Lineker has tipped Arsenal to end Manchester City’s dominance next season by winning their first Premier League title in 20 years. Arsenal emerged as Manchester City’s biggest rival for the title last season. The Gunners finished second on the Premier League table last campaign, behind champions Man City. However, Lineker believes Mikel Arteta’s side now have the experience that would help them win the Premier League title this upcoming 2023/24 season. “I am tipping Arsenal to win the title this season – maybe just to avoid being predictable but I do think they have had an…
According to a report from reliable transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City have formally informed Barcelona that Bernardo Silva is not for sale this summer and they will not enter any negotiations. It is no secret that the Blaugrana are hot on the trail of the Portuguese international, with manager Xavi Hernandez urging the club to sign him on a priority. To that end, the La Liga champions, who missed out on Silva’s capture last season, have already begun preparing a proposal for him – either a loan deal with a buy option or a permanent buy offer worth €65 million plus €10…
You never know when the great Manchester City boss is being sincere, but his assessment of new Arsenal signing Declan Rice was hardly out of the ordinary. He’s been incredibly complimentary of the former West Ham skipper. The Gunners beat out City for Rice’s signature this summer, eventually agreeing a British and club-record £105m deal with the Hammers after having two bids rejected. While the Cityzens were seemingly keen on signing Rice as an Ilkay Gundogan replacement, that was a price they weren’t willing to match with the player also keen on the idea of suiting up in red and…
Ferdinand argued that Man United’s two right-backs – Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Diogo Dalot -are better than White. The former England international stated this during a session on the SDS YouTube channel where he tried to form a combined XI of Manchester United and Arsenal players. “He [White] is not better than the two right-backs at Man United,” Ferdinand said. “No, not for me [he was not second best in the Premier League]. I thought Ben White was solid, but that is it. “I think that is the one area of their team where you look and think there is room…
Arsenal and Chelsea look set to miss out on Ajax star Mohammed Kudus following reports that Premier League rivals Brighton & Hove Albion have reached an agreement with the Dutch club on a deal. The Ghana international has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League this summer having established himself as one of the brightest prospects in Europe. Both Arsenal and Chelsea had been credited with interest for Kudus, with a £40million price tag being mooted. It had been suggested that personal terms between Mauricio Pochettino’s side and Kudus were close to being agreed, but the player…
Liverpool gets its season underway in just over a week, with the Premier League itself now just six days away from resumption. Manchester City will kick things off against Burnley on Friday night, as Pep Guardiola is reunited with Vincent Kompany. Despite its fair share of summer upheaval, Guardiola’s side once again goes into the season as the heavy favorite to claim the Premier League title, as it has done in five of the last six seasons. Of course, the goal at Liverpool — the only side to successfully break up that dominance — will be to challenge Manchester City…

Barcelona are struggling to afford Bernardo Silva and can only offer Manchester City a loan deal with a €75m obligation to buy, but only if they sell one of their big players first.

(The Athletic) Chelsea have submitted a verbal offer worth €30m for Crystal Palace forward Michael Olise but want more information about his hamstring injury before making a written bid. Manchester City are also keen on the Frenchman. (Fabrice Hawkins) Arsenal are interested in striking a deal to sign Aston Villa winger Emiliano Buendia. Erik ten Hag wants Manchester United to sign Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, who…
Chelsea have a big job on their hands as the Blues look to bounce back from their worst Premier League campaign. The Blues have spent close to £700m since Todd Boehly’s takeover at Stamford Bridge one year ago. In that time, 20 new players have arrived, though not, to this point, to the club’s benefit. Indeed, despite the spendthrift policy employed by Chelsea, the club recorded their lowest-ever points tally in the season just finished. That saw the Blues finish in a worryingly-low 12th place, some 45 points adrift of champions Manchester City and just 10 points clear of the…
