Although it remains to be seen whether Jamie Vardy fancies an Arsenal move this summer, impatient Arsene Wenger has already begun weighing up alternatives, reportedly. Daniel Sturridge is seemingly the prime alternative, at least according to Daily Express. The Gunners are looking to add to their strike-force after the club’s medical team confirmed that striker
Moussa Sissoko is a household name amongst Arsenal supporters as he has been as regularly linked to the club as the likes of Yoann Gourcuff and Salomon Kalou over the years. After two unimpressive seasons with Newcastle United, it is surprising how he is still linked with a move to Ashburton Grove, and even more
Even if Jamie Vardy’s move to Arsenal somehow does not materialize, Arsene Wenger is certain to sign a striker, with the likes of Arkadiusz Milik still available. However, having brought down Granit Xhaka for a reported fee of about £35 million, Wenger’s midfield purchase is over, unless he intends to bring in teenage midfielders from
With Ricardo Rodriguez looking likely to join his close pal Granit Xhaka at Arsenal before the start of the next campaign, Kieran Gibbs is rumoured to be heading toward the exit door at Emirates Stadium, in search of first-team opportunities. Unsurprisingly, former title rivals Liverpool are mooted as potential suitors, with the club seemingly keen
With Jamie Vardy’s arrival now almost a certainty, it remains to be seen how the newly-rejuvenated Arsenal social media team are going to announce it, after winning the Internet over with the way they made the signing of Granit Xhaka official. Having wrapped up two top-notch signings much before the commencement of European Championship, Arsene
Arsenal boasted the third best defence in the Premier League last season, conceding only as much as champions Leicester City did. Having said that, their defence had been shambolic, conceding goals rather easily. The Gunners, accordingly, should strengthen their back four, with Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny turning 32 and 31 respectively come September, and
After wrapping up the Granit Xhaka deal, Arsenal are now heavily linked with a move for a striker. As Arsene Wenger assured that he would sign a striker in light of the long-term injury Danny Welbeck has sustained, observers are hopeful that they would not witness another Gonzalo Higuain or Karim Benzema saga this summer.
Having finally confirmed Granit Xhaka’s arrival, Arsenal are currently weighing up a move for a defender and a striker. Even though the Gunners have been heavily linked with a move for younger prospects such as Kalidou Koulibaly and Kostas Manolas, a bid for Medhi Benatia looks likely. With Mats Hummels’ move to Bayern Munich confirmed,
Arsenal finished runners-up in what turned out to be the most topsy-turvy Premier League campaign in recent memory. Even the pessimistic clan of Arsenal supporters agrees that they could have ended their title drought had they not suffered so many injuries during the course of the season. With Danny Welbeck already ruled out for just
England manager Roy Hodgson recently announced his 26-man provisional squad, and as always, surprise inclusions and exclusions were largely deliberated. Many observers, especially West Ham United faithful, have been voicing their unrest over Mark Noble being snubbed in favour of Jack Wilshere. The fact that the Arsenal midfielder has only played a handful of youth
Besides the relegation dogfight, title race, and fight for Champions League football, the announcement of the Professional Footballers’ Association awards — or the debate over the surprise exclusions —always act as the foreplay to silly season, which may not commence at least until the final whistle in the Football Association Cup final. Arsenal’s allegedly ‘poor’
Arsenal have often been slated for blowing chances served on a silver platter, but when it mattered the most, they rose to the occasion as they drubbed Aston Villa 4-0 on the final day of the Premier League campaign. Olivier Giroud bagged a hat-trick, and skipper Mikel Arteta enjoyed a fairytale ending to his Arsenal
With Pep Guardiola ending his association with Bayern Munich this summer having won them their third straight Bundesliga title, he has averaged one major trophy for every 20 competitive games he has managed. Whilst refraining from serious challenges such as taking charge of a struggling club like Liverpool remains his major criticism, the fact that
Directly involved in eight goals in 10 competitive starts, Theo Walcott enjoyed an impressive start to the current campaign. The club were also flying high with eight victories in the 10 games he started; the other two games — Olympiakos (home) and Chelsea (away) — ended in defeats thanks to individual errors and poor refereeing
Having lifted three Premier League titles, six Football Association Cup trophies and six Community Shields, Arsene Wenger remains one of the most successful managers of the modern era. Unlike most other gaffers of his era, he has accomplished plenty despite not being a spendthrift. Given his outstanding finance management, he can be mooted as an
When former Chelsea custodian Petr Cech arrived at Arsenal, many observers alleged that he would save Arsenal at least 12-15 point and eventually become what Edwin van der Sar was to Manchester United. After 33 games between the sticks for the Gunners, he has proven to be worthy of every single penny of the £10
Arsenal extended their unbeaten run to nine games with a hard-fought draw against Manchester City. Sergio Aguero and Kevin de Bruyne put the hosts ahead on two occasions in the final home game of Manuel Pellegrini’s reign only for Olivier Giroud and Alexis Sanchez to nullify the lead and keep the hopes of Saint Totteringham’s
Arsenal’s strikeforce has perennially been under fire since the infamous departure of Robin van Persie in August 2012. Despite Olivier Giroud averaging 20 goals per season on top of making the team tick with his admirable hold-up play, the Arsenal faithful have been advocating the arrival of an improvement on him. In spite of his
With Arsenal’s season unraveling in a familiar fashion, they will likely go into the transfer market for an array of players although the number of players they add to their shopping trolley has always been a far cry from the number of players they enquire about. With Karim Benzema and Edinson Cavani expected to be
After their comfortable win against West Bromwich Albion on Thursday night, Arsenal were expected to ease past Sunderland, but against a resolute Sam Allardyce side, they could only secure a point at Stadium of Light. The draw marks their seventh game without a defeat and moves them level on points with third-placed Manchester City. As
Alexis Sanchez struck twice in the first half to deliver Arsenal their much needed win against West Bromwich Albion on Thursday night. With the win, the Gunners have leapfrogged Manchester City, and they now sit only five points adrift of their fierce rivals in Tottenham Hotspur. Although the Premier League title is out of the
Arsenal’s current form is as erratic as it can get as they have won two, lost two and, drawn two in their last six competitive outings. Although they have lately been ineffective going forward, their defenders have been criticized more than the attacking players. As the other three have achieved the hero status, Gabriel Paulista
Everything is wrong at Arsenal. The defenders are often leaking in goals they would not do on a perfect day. Crosses are almost always unsuccessful. Corner kicks hardly create any problem for the opposition defence. Substitutions do not seem right. Emirates Stadium is more silent than a library. Strikers are not finding the net as
With Arsenal desperately looking for the winning goal against a defensively astute Crystal Palace side, Arsene Wenger brought on under-fire winger Theo Walcott. The Emirates Stadium faithful sighed in disbelief as they have been advocating the involvement of Joel Campbell after Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain sustained an injury. Much to the dismay of the fans, the former
Leicester have all but wrapped up the Premier League title under the nose of traditional title contenders, and the humbled English juggernauts will likely retaliate by attempting to seduce every other league’s TOTY (team of the year) nominees with the television deal monies. AS Roma defender Kostas Manolas has been heavily linked with Chelsea and
