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 […]
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 […]
Despite being initially left out of Cote D’Ivoire’s opener at the AFCON, Nicholas Pepe, has since set the tournament alight with an assist and two magnificent goals to help his country into the knockout phase. His display against one of the pre-tournament favourites, Algeria, with an intelligent assist for Kessie and a wonderfully struck solo […]
The Arsenal community, whist bitter at the referring and VAR calls in the narrow defeat to Man City are still reveling in the performance of their young team. Without their manager to cajole and instruct them from the touchline, Arteta’s boys out thought, our fought and in truth, whilst with 11 men, outplayed, the champions. […]
