🚨🔴⚪️ No contacts or approaches made by Arsenal with free agents so far following Havertz’s injury.
Arteta, determined to find solutions internally while staff keeps waiting for Bukayo Saka and Martinelli back.
The investment on new striker will be made in the summer.
🚨 JUST IN from @SamiMokbel81_DM:
Arsenal may have the opportunity to request special dispensation to use Max Dowman given their current injury predicament… 💫
but it is not clear whether the Premier League would accept any application. ☁️
🚨 Arsenal have been considering another move for Ollie Watkins, having first approached Aston Villa on Monday. That enquiry left Arsenal with the understanding that the player may be available for a certain price.
There was, at that point, a difference of at least £20m in valuation. Arsenal spoke to Villa over whether a deal of around £40m would be possible, but £60m is more likely a figure to get a deal done.
Villa are known to be close to PSR limits, which is why their business elsewhere has encouraged Arsenal to go in for Watkins.
With Watkins having turned 29 at the end of the year, Arsenal are only likely to go for him in this window & at a certain price, propelling a sense of ‘now or never’ for a player that has always wanted to play for the club. [@MiguelDelaney]
I honestly don’t know how Michael Oliver can referee another Arsenal game again after that today. What trust there was (which was very little) has just totally gone now surely. The more you watch it, the worse it gets. How can he possibly justify making that decision? It’s always him…..
🚨🔴⚪️ Arsenal are in advanced talks to sign Martin Zubimendi for summer 2025.
Negotiations underway with player side as positive talks took place behind the scenes, as revealed by @SamiMokbel81_DM. Final key steps still needed.
Arsenal plan to trigger €60m release clause.
🚨🚨| Michail Antonio is expected to be out for at least a YEAR after the striker underwent an operation on a broken leg sustained in a horrific car accident.
It remains unclear if the 34-year-old’s injuries will force him to retire from football.

🔴⚪️ 17 year old gem Ethan Nwaneri scores first Premier League goal, assist by Sterling! ✨
…and it is already his fourth goal in all competitions this season after three scored in Carabao Cup so far ⭐️
Haaland on the phone Ødegaard: “Hello Ødda! do you think Arsenal will ever win the UEFA Champions League?”
Ødegaard: Don’t worry about us, next time don’t fake an injury for our country when we’re playing Euro qualifiers
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Jurrien Timber is one of the best press resistant players I’ve ever seen.
Drop of the shoulder and he’s gone.
He’s in for a big season and I cannot wait.

Gary O'Neil on Larsen's first half header: "I don't know how David Raya saves it... Everyone thought that was in the net. Big goalkeepers at big sides that are chasing titles sometimes come up with magic moments that can change games."
Goals and assists in the Premier League before the age of 23:
84 - Bukayo Saka
77 - Cristiano Ronaldo
We’re witnessing an all-timer right in front of our very eyes.
Bukayo Saka, ladies and gentlemen.
