Yesterday I read that Arsenal are vying with Atletico for the signature of Lautaro Martinez from Inter, and are favourites to land Dutch winger, Cody Gakpo from PSV. Both are exciting links but yesterday’s news suggesting Arteta was ready to lure Marcus Rashford and that Arsenal had a pre-contract deal with Dominic Calvert-Lewin, are perhaps […]
The last few days various media have picked up on a Turkish Sports outlet indicating that Arsenal have joined Middlesex neighbours Tottenham. Wolfsburg, Lyon and Atletico as major league teams tracking Galatasaray winger, Kerem Aktürkoğlu. Aktürkoğlu has had somewhat of a breakthrough season with the Turkish giants, with 20 goal involvements, including 11 goals, three of […]
What an absolute pleasure to be asked by Sun Football, for my thoughts on Arsenal providing four players for the England squad announced by Gareth Southgate last week. It has been a fair few years since the likes of Welbeck, Wilshere and Oxlade-Chamberlain were in and round the international scene simultaneously and I cannot imagine […]
The whole of the footballing world know that come June 1st, Arsenal FC will be swiftly into the market for a new striker, and of course the knowledge of our need will push the asking prices up. However, there is one player that the Gunners are rumoured to be interested in, who is raising his […]
I hope you knew I hope you knew the joy watching you play gave me, To watch you in magnificent full flight set me free. On a Saturday I watched Henry at his consummate best On Sunday I watched you, such talent you possessed. We were so proud that Henry played for our […]
Let’s be honest, other than a slightly less than exemplary defensive showing by Arsenal at Watford it was as fluid and exciting at times as we have seen the attacking play under Arteta. There is so much to be happy about, not least the fact that the Gunners now sit fourth, with 3, yes, 2 […]
Another satisfying afternoon’s work for Arteta’s slimmed down, tightknit unit against Brentford. The 2-1 score line was scant justice for an utterly dominant and controlled display, and but for a myopic referee and the lack of a clinical striker it could and should have been more. Nevertheless, it was sweet revenge for the Bee’s […]
In a recent column I ventured three realistic summer targets to improve Arsenal’s first 11 and squad. Of the three names I suggested, two – Calvert-Lewin and Douglas Luiz – would be first team starters, but I also suggested Philip Billing as a surprise package. I like Billing and he offers differing attributes to the […]
As soon as the January Transfer Window closes, the speculation about summer business begins. None more so than for Arsenal, who surprised all of us by not strengthening the squad, whilst allowing many to leave, permanently or on loan. I am sure that like me, all Gunners feel the club has taken a huge gamble […]
I think it would be safe to suggest that Arsenal fans on social media have been in degrees of meltdown in the past few days. The anxiety at the lack of arrivals to balance the exits as the end of the window approached, reached fever pitch as the final hours confirmed a further departure, and […]
