Axel Donczew signing from Cardiff shows how Berta is weaponizing domestic EPPP rules.
Securing the top U18 ball-striker in Wales via training compensation before his first senior contract keeps his valuation low.
If he breaks into the first team, we saved £30m, if we sell down the line, it's 100% pure FFP profit. Masterclass in asset management.
"I wouldn't swap that pair for any of the others!"
Jay Bothroyd believes that if Bruno Guimarães signs for Arsenal, his partnership with Declan Rice would be the best in the Premier League 🤝

🚨 LATEST: Arsenal Close In on £2m Igor Tyjon Deal After Blackburn Exit Decision 👀
Arsenal are pushing to complete another exciting signing, with the Gunners closing in on a deal for highly-rated Blackburn Rovers forward Igor Tyjon.
According to journalist Alan Nixon, Arsenal are looking to agree a deal worth around £2 million plus add-ons after the 18-year-old rejected several contract offers from Blackburn. With Tyjon now in the final year of his contract, the Championship club are preparing for his departure this summer.
Mikel Arteta and Arsenal continue to strengthen the club's long-term future by targeting some of the brightest young talents available.
While rivals Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham remain active in the transfer market, Arsenal are quietly working to secure another promising attacker with huge potential.
Tyjon is not expected to walk straight into the senior squad due to his age, but Arsenal believe he has the qualities to develop into a first-team player in the coming years if the deal is completed.
Arsenal fans, is £2m a bargain for Igor Tyjon, or would you rather see the club spend that money elsewhere?

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Everton reach agreement in principle with Arsenal to sign Christian Nørgaard for £7M.
He'll undergo a medical next week.

With Martin Odegaard, Eberechi Eze, Declan Rice, Mikel Merino and Martin Zubimendi on their post-World Cup breaks, this trip has given Ethan Nwaneri an opportunity to feature centrally again.
The 19-year-old played, and scored, from that position against MK Dons, but his last game for Arsenal before an unfortunate loan spell at Marseille came away to Portsmouth in the FA Cup in January.
This pre-season is an opportunity for Nwaneri, with so many midfielders on holiday after their World Cup exploits. His performance against Girona was not as eye-catching as his last in 2025, when he won the Champions League player of the match award.
But the momentum he builds in this clump of matches could give Arteta more food for thought ahead of the opening weeks of the season.

🚨 Eberechi Eze has revealed Declan Rice was the key reason he joined Arsenal last summer.
"I'm only here because Declan told me to just call him," Eze said, with Rice convincing him to speak to Mikel Arteta.
Eze also praised Arteta's impact, saying the manager completely transformed Arsenal's identity and inspired their title winning campaign.
The move proved decisive, with Eze delivering crucial goals and assists as Arsenal lifted the 2025/26 Premier League title.
