  • Champions League draw

    Arsenal learned their Champions League opponents for the new eight-match "league phase" of the tournament last night.

    Here is a reminder of who they have been drawn against.

  • It's Deadline Day

    Here are some potentially huge deals that could go through today.

  • Coman considering options

    Arsenal target Kingsley Coman is weighing up his future tonight, according to reports.

    The French winger has some of Europe's top clubs chasing him and Saudi side Al-Hilal.

    He is also still open to staying at Bayern Munich.

  • Arsenal eye Neto deal

    Arsenal are interested in Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto, according to reports.

    The Cherries have signed Chelsea stopper Kepa Arrizabalaga on loan and are now open to potentially letting Neto leave.

    Neto, 35, has two years left on his contract at the Vitality Stadium.

    Arsenal are still working on a deal for Espanyol star Joan Garcia and a move has not been ruled out.

    The Gunners need a new No2 to allow Aaron Ramsdale to join Southampton.

  • Getting the Vic

    Napoli star Victor Osimhen is heavily linked with a move to Chelsea.

    It is believed that a move to Stamford Bridge is close with Romelu Lukaku moving the other way.

    SunSport have revealed that Osimhen is demanding £500,000-A-WEEK, which is what is currently holding up the transfer.

    But it's Arsenal who should be going out to sign the striker - not the Blues.

    SunSport break down why:

  • Sterling to Gunners?

    Chelsea are desperately trying to offload Raheem Sterling and have offered him to Arsenal, according to shock reports.

    This would then allow the Blues to sign Jadon Sancho from Man Utd.

    Sterling still supposedly needs to sort out his contract at Stamford Bridge before departing, which is worth £325,000-a-week and has three years left on it.

  • Gunners 'explore Coman deal'

    Arsenal are considering a swoop for Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman ahead of Friday’s transfer deadline, according to reports.

    Mikel Arteta is eager to sign a forward as he looks to better compete with Manchester City for the Premier League title this season.

    Coman, 28, has been made available for transfer by Bayern, either on a permanent deal worth around £42m or season-long loan.

    And Arsenal are considering a move for the France international, who also has major interest from Saudi Arabia, in particular Al-Hilal.

    But the Gunners would prefer a loan instead of an immediate permanent move, report the Daily Mail.

    The cost of bringing Coman to the Emirates will be key towards any successful transfer, particularly given the lucrative wages on offer in the Middle East.

    He currently earns in the region of £300,000-per-week at Bayern. 

    Coman has just under three years to run on his current deal after signing a long-term contract in November 2022.

  • Carsley on White omission

    England boss Lee Carsley was asked the situation with Ben White.

    He said: "Nothing has changed in my two weeks of being here - as far as I'm aware there's been no change."

  • Champions League draw

    Arsenal will learn their first eight Champions League opponents tonight.

    The draw starts at 5pm and our build-up (explaining those complex new rules) has already begun.

  • Ramsdale and White out

    Aaron Ramsdale and Ben White have both been left out of Lee Carsley's first England squad.

    The interim boss has named a 26-man list for next month's Nations League matches against Ireland and Finland.

    Ramsdale is absent ahead of his move to Southampton, having been included for Euro 2024.

    Meanwhile, White's exile continues, with the defender not called up since leaving the 2022 World Cup camp early.

  • Arsenal duo for England

    Lee Carsley has named two Arsenal players in his first England squad.

    The interim boss has chosen 26 players for next month's Nations League matches against Ireland and Finland.

  • Nypan race

    Arsenal are keen to enter the race to sign Norwegian wonderkid Sverre Halseth Nypan.

    The midfielder has also attracted interest from Manchester United.

    According to Christopher Michel, the Gunners are now planning talks with Rosenborg ahead of a move for Nypan in January.

  • Gunners explore Coman

    Arsenal have explored the details of a late move for Bayern Munich's Kingsley Coman.

  • Arsenal bid

    Arsenal have launched a bid for Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia.

    The Spanish stopper is the club's planned replacement for Aaron Ramsdale, who is set to join Southampton.

    Fabrizio Romano report the Gunners have submitted a £17million offer, but Espanyol want Garcia's £25million release clause to be triggered instead.

    The player has already agreed personal terms with Arsenal.

  • Ramsdale details

    More details of Aaron Ramsdale's move to Southampton from Arsenal have been revealed.

    The goalkeeper is having a medical with the Saints today ahead of a permanent switch.

    According to The Athletic, he will sign a four-year deal with the option of a further year.

    He will sign for an initial £18million, with a further £1million if his new club stay up and £6million in additional add-ons, the report adds.

  • Arsenal's next five

  • Ramsdale medical

    Aaron Ramsdale will undergo a medical at Southampton today.

    The goalkeeper is close to joining the Saints from Arsenal after a £25million deal was agreed.

    Meanwhile, the Gunners have lined up Espanyol's Joan Garcia as his replacement.

  • White's England future

    Ben White's stance on playing for England has not changed since Gareth Southgate's departure, report the Daily Mail.

    Interim boss Lee Carsley will name his first squad on Thursday, with the Arsenal defender not expected to be included.

    The report adds that White remains nonplussed about adding to his four Three Lions caps.

    He has not featured in an England squad since leaving the 2022 World Cup camp early.

  • Gunners eye move for goalkeeper before Friday's deadline

    The Gunners are reportedly eyeing up a move to sign League One star Sam Tickle before the transfer window shuts.

    The Wigan Athletic ace is one of two goalkeepers that Arsenal are targeting quick moves for, with Aaron Ramsdale set to depart the Emirates in the coming days.

    Tickle, 22, came through the academy at the Latics and broke into the first team during the 2023/24 season.

    The young stopper has impressed in League One and has been capped by the England Under-21 side.

    The Athletic have claimed that the Gunners are now interested in making a swoop for Tickle.

    The Englishman would help with Mikel Arteta's squad as he would boost the home-grown numbers.
