  • Zubi latest

    Arsenal have “practically finalised the signing of Martin Zubimendi” from Real Sociedad, according to reports in Spain.

    Cadena SER reports that Real Madrid want to sign Martin Zubimendi this summer.

    But Arsenal are in “advanced talks” over the midfielder and believe the deal is sewn up.

  • Odegaard is not to blame?

    Martin Odegaard is the club’s captain and talismanic figure, so often relied upon for magic moments and so often delivering over the past few seasons.

    This term, those moments have been few and far between, with just five goals and nine assists in 40 appearances in all competitions.

    However, as the media and fans slam the Arsenal captain - the stats show that he is being let down by his teammates.

  • Arteta eyes a Bundesliga ace

    Mikel Arteta is reportedly interested in signing midfielder Hugo Larsson from German club Eintracht Frankfurt.

    The Swedish international could cost £51million this summer transfer season.

    However, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur have also shown interest in the player.

  • Arsenal 'still have chance'

    Alan Shearer has insisted Arsenal still have a chance to reach the Champions League final.

    The Gunners lost the first leg 1-0 and will have to beat the French giants at the Parc des Princes to reach the final.

    Shearer told Betfair: "It was an amazing atmosphere at the Emirates before Arsenal's Champions League semi-final first leg against PSG but that changed after three minutes with PSG's goal.

    "When you go to a hostile ground, where you know the atmosphere is going to be amazing for the home team, you want to keep the ball and, if possible, get an early goal just to kill the crowd. PSG did that.

    "Arsenal never recovered. For the first 20 or 30 minutes, they didn't know what day it was.

    "Then they recovered and were the better team for ten or 15 minutes before half-time - and they didn't need half-time.

    "There were two really, really good chances for Arsenal. One in the first-half with Gabriel Martinelli one-on-one and then a one-on-one in the second half involving Leandro Trossard.

    "Other than that, I know they had the disallowed offside goal which took far too long considering he was half a yard offside. The positive was that it only ended 1-0. It could've been a lot worse.

    "At 1-0 going into the second leg, Arsenal still have a chance. What was already a difficult opportunity against a very good side has become a little bit more difficult, but it's not impossible."

  • Arsenal 'behind in Rodrygo chase'

    Arsenal have reportedly fallen behind in the race to sign Real Madrid star Rodrygo.

  • Dembele 'a doubt' for second leg

    Ousmane Dembele has given a health update after his match-winning performance against Arsenal.

    The PSG ace was subbed off in the second half of the clash, having suffered a potential injury.

    Manager Luis Enrique has admitted there are some doubts about whether he could be available for the clash in Paris, France.

    He said: "The medical tests will take place tomorrow [Wednesday].

    "It's nothing serious, it's rather light, but there is a doubt for the return match."

    Enrique also suggested that if Dembele is absent, then he can rely on the rest of his team.

    He added: "We’re a real team. If Ousmane can play, that’s good. If he doesn’t, we’ll see a team."

    Dembele was asked as he was boarding the PSG bus about the injury.

    The star insisted: "It’s going to be fine."

  • Bel rung

    Ousmane Dembel has given a health update after his match-winning performance against Arsenal.

    The forward netted the decisive goal at the Emirates to hand Paris Saint-Germain the advantage in the Champions League semi-final.

    Dembele, 27, scored inside just four minutes into the first leg, leaving the Gunners with all the work to do next week.

    However, there was hope in the Arsenal camp that PSG could have been without their goalscorer.

    The former Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund ace was subbed off in the second half, with him suffering a potential injury.

    Manager Luis Enrique has admitted there are some doubts about whether he could be available for the clash in Paris, France.

  • Gift of rod

    Real Madrid star Rodrygo could quit the Bernabeu this summer if a big-money bid lands from the Premier League.

    He has been brilliant for Madrid since signing from Santos for £38million in 2018, helping them win the Spanish Super Cup, La Liga and the Champions League.

    Rodrygo was the hero in Madrid’s dramatic comeback against Manchester City in the Champions League semi-final in 2022.

    He came on midway through the second half and scored two late goals that stunned Pep Guardiola’s side and now, he could be playing in the Premier League next season.

    Real are believed to be looking for around £85million to let the Brazilian leave.

  • Huijsen or Kiwior?
