I’m probably in the minority but I don’t love the fit given the team just bought Eze who I think does most of the same stuff and in the same areas.
If the fee is 60-75m I’m fine with it and think you can figure it out
Arsenal take PSG the distance but final step still missing
Their defensive gameplan was almost perfect, but there can still be Qs about attacking
Any talk of the soul of football should be shut down, though, as Qatar are able to rule Europe again

Hand on heart, I dont feel sad at all. Im so fucking proud of this group. Won us a PL after 22 years and took us to a UCL final. Kings who will be remembered forever. 99% of Europe would want our season.
Thank you Mikel and Thank you Arsenal.
I recognise my football club again.
After almost seven years at this club, it’s hard to put into words what this moment means to me.
I arrived at this club when I was 18 years old. Far from home, barely speaking the language, trying to adapt to a completely new culture, new life and chasing a dream that felt so big at the time.
I didn’t know exactly what the future would hold, but I knew I wanted to give everything for this club.
We didn’t just build a team, we built a family, an identity, and something the fans could believe in again. To see this club back where it belongs is one of the proudest moments of my career.
I want to thank my family, thank everyone at the club, the staff, my teammates, and every person working behind the scenes. Most importantly, thank you to the fans. Your support, patience and love throughout these years never went unnoticed. You stayed with us through the difficult moments, and this title belongs to you as much as anyone.
This club changed my life. I will always be grateful for the privilege of wearing this shirt.
PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS 🏆
🚨📊| THE STAT THAT DEFINES ARSENAL'S TITLE-WINNING SEASON.🏆
Across 61 matches in all competitions, Arsenal have been behind for just 403 minutes.
That's it.
To put that into perspective, the Gunners have played 5,490 minutes of football this season and spent only 7.3% of that time trailing.
Even more astonishing?
▫️ Arsenal have trailed by 2+ goals for just 26 minutes ALL SEASON.
Those 26 minutes came in the Carabao Cup Final.
Not in the Premier League.
Not in the Champions League.
Not across a gruelling 61-game campaign.
Just 26 minutes.
In the Premier League, Arsenal have spent only 8.6% of match time behind on the scoreboard, the second-best record in the division.
This is what elite control looks like.
While other teams rely on comebacks, chaos and moments of magic, Arsenal's dominance starts much earlier:
🔸 Rarely fall behind
🔸 Rarely lose control of games
🔸 Relentless defensive structure
🔸Elite game management
🔸 Consistent for 90 minutes
The biggest compliment you can give Mikel Arteta's Arsenal isn't that they win.
It's that they almost never allow opponents to dictate terms.
For years, critics said Arsenal lacked mentality.
Now they're one of the hardest teams in Europe to put behind, let alone beat.
This isn't luck.
This is coaching.
This is structure.
This is control.
This is a champion's mentality. 🏆
Arsenal's celebrations on Tuesday night at the training ground and Emirates were scenes of pure harmony.
But we should not forget the mess they were in when Arteta was hired.
Few anecdotes and stories, here, from the work he has done to change that:

Mikel Arteta congratulates Liverpool:
“I want to congratulate Liverpool, they fully deserved to win it. They been the better team and had the better attributes.
They are a club that have been fighting trophies for the past 10 years. They are deserved champions.”
Well said 👏
"External critics formed a caricature they choose not to see beyond. Arteta is not a manager they care to try to understand."
But he has got Arsenal, and Arsenal have got him.
Free to read - the roots of Arteta's passion for his club.

Congratulations to this group for becoming champions! A beautiful moment. Come on the @Arsenal! Enjoy, rest and let’s go and win our first champions league! @RealRomfordPele
I couldn’t bring myself to write this until this morning. I didn’t want to do a story of the season. It’s bigger than that. It’s the story of how Mikel Arteta gave Arsenal back to the fans.
Read it later. Enjoy yourself tonight. https://t.co/OJgeDpvqQc
Well deserved title for Arsenal! Would have been a travesty if they didnt come out of this period with a league win. What Arteta has achieved is remarkable and though I still feel he's iterated in the wrong direction for long term domination, he's still a genius in his own right.
