Is there anything we don’t know about the William Saliba affaire? It was only a few days ago that Arsenal were reportedly interested in Brighton and England international Ben White, whom the Seagulls value at £40 million. The former Leeds player, who has seen his value double in the space of just one season in […]
Albert Sambi Lokonga Scouting Report It is that time of year and before we can at least divert our attention the Euros, Arsenal fans are in complete meltdown about players we have not signed, may never want to sign or of course the plethora we are linked to signing. The latest potential partner for Partey, […]
With many of the Arsenal faithful still bemoaning the fact that Aston Villa beat the club to the signature of Buendia, our attention turns to a position on the pitch that I believe is far more crucial. The Argentinian may well be hugely talented, but my feeling is that we are blessed with young creative […]
Granit Xhaka leaves after five seasons in North London.Having lived in Switzerland for the past eleven years, I took Dave’s offer to prepare an introductory blog about the Swiss international, as soon as his signing was made official. In my scouting report, I likened him to two Italian giants: Andrea Pirlo and Gennaro Gattuso. He […]

I do find this time of year, as the transfer speculation mounts, and the angst heightens amusing and bemusing in equal measure. I used to get dragged in far more than I do these days. Now I just sit back and enjoy the ride, knowing that there is nothing I can do to influence proceedings […]
Let’s all learn from Scotland. So, contrary to what pretty much anyone who’s ever met me before will say, I come from Scotland. This means that, unlike the vast majority of people who frequent this website (I imagine?), over the past few days I haven’t been watching the likes of Bukayo Saka get booed on […]
The summer break has arrived and Auba has decided to keep up with a bit of post season fitness. He grabs his headphones and hits the gym. In a moment of spontaneity, he hits play on the ‘Made For You’ page in Apple Music. As you know, the algorithms have got pretty sophisticated these day. […]
We now know that common sense prevailed and the rumours that Bukayo Saka was to miss out on Southgate’s final 26, which would have left Arsenal, traditionally among the elite of European club football, with only 2 players on show at the Euros starting this month, were false.
