Arsenal’s need for a reliable, free-scoring striker is an issue that never seems to quite go away and is likely to crop up again this summer. Watford’s Odion Ighalo is one man who has been touted as a potential target and they could well make a move for the Nigerian striker at the end of
Arsenal’s Per Mertesacker has attracted a fair bit of criticism during his time in England but after a strong start to the present campaign, hopes were high that this would be his finest season in a Gunners shirt. However it hasn’t quite turned out that way and it could be a disappointing finale for the

“His decision-making is spot on and his awareness is very interesting,” Arsene Wenger said of Alex Iwobi on January 31. “He develops very well. He’s very clever. I like the timing and the quality of his decision-making. He’s very interesting. I have a hesitation about loaning him because I think this guy could very quickly
Aaron Ramsey is a player that divides opinion amongst Arsenal fans and this season the doubters have had more reason than normal to question his worthiness of a place in the team. Much like his team, Ramsey’s form has been mixed and he has struggled to put a string of consistently high level performances together.
Arsenal headed into the Emirates FA Cup fifth-round replay with Hull City on Wednesday night taking inspiration from their academy product and Birmingham City loanee in Jon-Miquel Toral, who turned his marker to fire past Hull City goalkeeper in Allan McGregor from 20 yards out in a recent fixture. However, whether he will feature in
Ten-man Arsenal fought back to thwart Tottenham, but, until Francis Coquelin’s sending off, they looked equipped to register their second win at White Hart Lane this season. Though they will surely rue the lost points despite the adverse circumstances, there were many a positive that could be pivotal between now and the end of the
Ten years ago, Arsenal took a gamble on an unknown 16 year old Englishman with all the attributes and abilities to be the very best. The world was at his feet, he had electrifying pace, and ice cool in front of goal. Many were expecting him to be the very best in the nearest future.
Jack Pitt-Brooke wrote on The Independent yesterday that Arsenal would listen to offers for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the summer, citing his lack of progress since his £12 million move from Southampton in 2011. Though the source comes as far less credible than John Cross and Amy Lawrence, the report does highlight the stunted improvement of
Despite tweaking their game plan to espouse dogged defending and high press, Arsenal succumbed to a 2-0 defeat at home to treble winners Barcelona on Tuesday night. With Arsene Wenger acceding that his side has a measly 5% probability of turning things around in front of 80,000 Barcelona faithful in Spain, the Gunners may as
With Theo Walcott struggling to find the final touch, Arsene Wenger, in a desperate attempt to further in the Emirates FA Cup – or perhaps, avoid a replay – brought Alexis Sanchez on to replace Danny Welbeck on 67 minutes. Despite much anticipation, he only added to his dismal campaign as he blazed an effort
Danny Welbeck marked his return to first-team football, scoring what could turn out to be the goal that would clinch the Premier League title for Arsenal. However, having played only seven minutes in ten months, can he alter the trajectory of his team’s progress this season? Arsene Wenger cashed in on Louis van Gaal’s notorious

Barcelona and Manchester City are no longer linked with Arsenal’s Vitality Player of the Month award winners – something their fans can identify as a sign of progress. In addition, they are not calling out for the head of first-team players barring the potential retirees – again a sign of progress as their roster crammed
Arsene Wenger believes in mental strength as much as any other Premier League manager does as it goads the lads to go the extra mile whilst trailing by a goal or two. However, if one team exemplifies a positive attitude in the English top-flight, it has to be Leicester City, who faced Arsenal in a
Arsene Wenger named his matchday squad for the Bournemouth trip, and much to the dismay of Arsenal faithful, Mathieu Flamini started alongside Aaron Ramsey in the heart of the midfield. The French manager revealed after beating the Cherries 2-0 that Francis Coquelin had started from the bench thanks to fitness issues. On the other hand,
Arsenal desperately need a goal against Southampton to remain in contention to win their first Premier League title in more than a decade. With one-third of the game left to play, Arsene Wenger sacrifices Joel Campbell for Theo Walcott as the Gunners continued to pepper the Southampton goal. Six minutes into his appearance, the former
Arsene Wenger had just witnessed Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud all try but fail to find a way past Southampton’s Fraser Forster on Tuesday night when he was telling referee Lee Mason “it is always the same with you”. His opposing number Ronald Koeman then intervened, saying “and it always the same with
After taking just one point from their last three Premier League fixtures, is Arsenal’s slight slump in form anything to worry about for the Gooners faithful? Firstly, overall, Arsene Wenger’s side are enjoying a very good season thus far. Despite taking a solitary point from a possible nine, the Gunners are just three points off

1. Should he probably not specialise in his billion-dollar firm? Given his nightmarish display, the culprit in Mathieu Flamini has finally been exposed, with his tiptoeing along the lines of safe zone coming to an abrupt end. Placed twice in a position where non-league players would, at least, force a save from the goalkeeper, he

Splashing £16 million on relatively inexperienced Calum Chambers, who was struggling for game time at Southampton raised eyebrows, with Arsene Wenger admitting to taking a gamble when he whipped the checkbook out. After 52 competitive outings and three goals for Arsenal, asserting that the gamble has paid off is a no-brainer, given the fact that
