Mikel Arteta wanted to sign a forward in the summer transfer window and on deadline day he got a deal over the line to bring Raheem Sterling to the Emirates Stadium. It was another deal with Chelsea to sign one of their unwanted players. It has worked out with the previous two, with Jorginho and…

The summer transfer window may now be closed but that does not mean Edu and Mikel Arteta have stopped working hard behind the scenes on potential deals. The Gunners signed David Raya, Riccardo Calafiori, Mikel Merino, Neto and Raheem Sterling during the window, spending around £100million in total if all add-ons are met. Teenager Tommy…

Solving an Arsenal problem like the North London Derby without Declan Rice. When you consider that last season’s victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was the first time since 1988 that the Gunners had won back-to-back away clashes at their bitter rivals and Rice was a key figure of course in helping that happen. Yet the…

Arsenal star William Saliba ended up on the losing side as Italy beat France 3-1 in their opening Nations League game in Paris. The 23-year-old was one of France’s best players at Euro 2024, and it was no surprise at all to see him get the nod to start again on Friday night. Saliba started on the…

The international break has halted the Premier League action – just as it got going. Arsenal had enjoyed a positive start to the season on the pitch having claimed seven points from their opening three games. That might have been nine had they not been reduced to ten men in their 1-1 draw against Brighton. Regardless, Mikel Arteta ’s men still…

If Ben White still harbours ambitions of playing for England again, he might be hoping that Lee Carsley doesn’t become Gareth Southgate’s permanent England successor. White, who has four caps to his name, told Southgate back in March that he didn’t want to be considered for selection, which resulted in him missing out on Euro 2024. The decision followed his departure from…

Arsenal defender Riccardo Calafiori started for Italy against France in the Nations League on Friday night. The Azzurri hadn’t won a game against Les Bleus in Paris for 70 years, but that long wait finally came to an end at the Parc des Princes.

There’s not too much longer to wait until Premier League action returns for Arsenal with international fixtures now well underway.

Rice is serving a one-game suspension after his red card vs Brighton, while Merino has to…

Arsenal are scheduled to face Tottenham Hotspur in the first game after the international break. The Gunners have had a decent start to the new season, winning two and drawing one of their first three games. Spurs, on the other hand, have won just one game so far. The first North London Derby of the season will…

Arsenal gave midfielder maestro Fabio Vieira the green light to return to FC Porto on loan this summer, but it was the player himself who seemingly pushed for the move. Fabio Vieira admits that he was the one who pushed through a move to FC Porto this summer. The Portugal midfielder, 24, joined Arsenal from Porto back in 2022…

Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice will be prepared for a hostile environment on Saturday evening when he represents England in the Nations League against the Republic of Ireland at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium. Rice is one of the more popular players for the Gunners and England thanks to his elite performances in the centre of midfield. However, the former West Ham United man is…

So here I was, watching some international football last night and managed to catch a glimpse of the Serbia vs Spain game. This was the first time the new European champions take to the pitch after their monumental triumph a couple of months ago in Germany, and they seemed to be in a post-hangover mode,…
