🚨Arsenal's plan for highly-rated 16-year-old Jeremy Monga has been revealed. The Leicester City winger would train regularly with Mikel Arteta's first team, with senior appearances not out of the question down the line.
The Gunners face competition from Brentford, who are now expected to make formal contact with Leicester and are dangling the promise of guaranteed playing time as a lure.
Arsenal reportedly can pay the bigger fee, and Monga is said to prefer a move to north London over interest from Manchester City and Bayer Leverkusen.
The Myles Lewis-Skelly pathway exists for a reason, Arsenal know exactly what they're doing with young talent.

Saliba said a lot of good stuff here. How he took that first rejection at Arsenal, the inordinate Gabriel comparisons and his playing style.
He said before joining Arsenal, Arsenal weren’t keeping the most clean sheets and Gabriel was there. “I deserve some credits for that, don’t I?”😂😂
Typical Saliba. Very confident and cheeky guy.
I read this interview in his voice and mannerism. It’s more interesting that way.
🚨 Former Arsenal staff member Iqbal has addressed his departure from the club:
🗣️ "While there has been speculation online regarding the reasons for my departure, the simple truth is that after the success of this season, the time felt right for both parties to move in a new direction." 🔴⚪️ #AFC [@SkySportsPL]
🗣️ Roy Keane:
“Big clubs want players like Declan Rice, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhães and Riccardo Calafiori, but none of them want to leave Arsenal.
You can see it on the pitch. They play like a family. They play with passion. Not just because they’re paid to do it, but because they genuinely love the club.
That’s why Arsenal are going to be a problem for every other team in the league for many years to come.”

🚨 Excl: Joaquín Acedo is expected to join Arsenal officially next season after leaving Cádiz CF.
The rehabilitation specialist has already worked closely with Mikel Arteta’s staff, assisting with player recovery and injury management behind the scenes.
Acedo and Arteta share a long-standing relationship dating back to their time at Cádiz, and Arteta reportedly identified him as someone who could help improve Arsenal’s recovery and rehabilitation processes as the club continues competing at the highest level. 💪🔴⚪️ #afc
🗣️ Jurrien Timber:
“It’s disappointing not to be able to play on a stage like that. Of course, I’m really sad about it.
But now my focus is on recovering properly, getting myself back to full fitness and making sure I’m ready for the club next season.
There is no time to waste. We are already looking ahead and aiming for something even bigger next year.” ❤️🔴⚪️
🗣️ Roy Keane:
“Look at how many Arsenal players have were selected for the World Cup. That tells you everything about the quality of this squad.
When nearly half your team is representing their countries on the biggest stage, you’re doing something right. Arsenal are not a team you can underestimate anymore.
They’ve won the Premier League, reached a Champions League final, and built a squad full of top international players.
If Arsenal recruit seriously this summer, the rest of the football world might not like what comes next season.
People spend a lot of time hate-watching Arsenal. If this team keeps improving, that might become a waste of time.” 😳🔴⚪️
Mikel Arteta on Gabriel Martinelli:
🗣️ “Martinelli has been part of this journey from the very start. He’s one of the players who helped raise the standards, intensity, and expectations within the squad. His attitude and commitment have been exceptional, and he continues to set the example every single day.” ❤️🤍**
🗣️| William Saliba on the Premier League season: “There were a lot of jokes, people made fun of us. Even when we were top of the league, they were saying that at some point we were going to bottle it and drop back to second place. That's football banter, it's like that. If you want to change that, you just have to win. Now that we've won it, they can't say anything anymore.” [@lequipe] #afc
❤️🔴⚪️ | Kepa Arrizabalaga sends a strong message about his Arsenal future

🗣️ “I am playing for Arsenal. It’s one of the biggest clubs in the world, so you expect competition.”
🗣️ “I will do what I can and play when I am given the chance.”
And the quote Arsenal fans will love most:
🗣️ “This is my home.” ❤️
❤️🔴⚪️ | Ian Wright on what makes this Arsenal team special
The Arsenal legend believes Mikel Arteta has built far more than just a successful football team.
🗣️ “What Mikel Arteta has built isn't just a good football team; he's built a culture.”
Wright pointed to the bond between the squad and supporters as one of the club's greatest strengths.
🗣️ “The connection between the players and the fans right now is as strong as it's ever been.”
After delivering Arsenal's first Premier League title in over two decades and guiding the club back to a Champions League final, Arteta has helped restore a sense of unity throughout the club ❤️
🏆 Premier League champions

After guiding Arsenal F.C. back to the summit of English football and into a Champions League final, the message from the ownership appears clear:

🎯 Keep improving

💭 Arsenal are no longer talking about rebuilding. They are talking about building a dynasty. ❤️🏆🔥 #AFC #COYG
