• Mikel Arteta is set to renew his contract with Arsenal and spearhead the title defence of The English Champions. The club approached our Basque native earlier this year, and it was agreed Mikel wanted to focus on delivering us major silverware & to earn his position within the home of the champions. Total accountability.

My understanding is that Enrique Riquleme explored a secret plot to bring Arteta to Madrid if he had won his presidential election. Mikel is currently on 'holiday', yet actively involved in our transfer operations. While everyone at the club are behaving like it’s a done deal, the club hope to finalise the inner details of the most important contract at the club. Minimum 3 years - the wheels are firmly on. Viva La Mikel.

• Andrea Berta's current contract runs until 2028. As I understand it, senior officials from Saudi explored a possibility of luring the Italian to the Middle East, while Bayern also covertly did the same thing. Andrea promised Mikel last summer he would deliver him a squad worthy of major silverware… mission completed, with the UCL now in their sights.

Another thing I wanted to mention is Micheli Maurizio, the man responsible for scouting Hamšík, Kvaratskhelia, Kim Min-Jae and now Christos Tzolis. While Arsenal aim to add atleast 2 attackers, do not underestimate the authority and respect this man has within the club and wider football. Two weeks ago, I was speaking to the representatives of a player who told me Micheli was the one holding court without the presence of Berta. This duo act are conducting business seamlessly, as you can see with the revamp of the Arsenal youth set up, for which I am told the club have ring fenced a special transfer budget.

• The contract of Declan Rice is also a major focus for Arsenal this summer, with initial talks starting early this year. As I understand it, Declan is very happy at Arsenal despite interest from the likes of Real Madrid and others. Talks are going smoothly and expect this to get done in due course.

• Jurrien Timber's contract is very close to completion. Minor details remain.

• David Raya has a 1 year optional extension on his current contract, which has 2 years left. All parties are very relaxed about his long term future, as a pay rise was agreed last summer.

As for all the rumours circulating, as of today, Arsenal are yet to make direct contact with ANY club for a MIDFIELDER.

I am happy to provide a 'state of play' post on the midfielder situation if that would be helpful?

Nigerian women are fighting for their right not to cook for their men, claiming it’s not a “gender role.”

Yet the same women don’t want to marry men who can cook for themselves.

If this is not mental illness, then what is it?

[Her🌸 @ruheisher]

This rebuttal doesn't make much sense.
You guys are basically fighting for your right to have no manners, and it's baffling.

I don't know why anyone thinks it's acceptable to spend days in someone's house without offering some form of help, whether you're male or female.

You are not doing him a favour by going on a date with him.
Chances are high that he's not going to benefit anything from the outing.
You are not even that special. Why should he pay for the ride to pick you up?
If you are not willing to go out with him, sit at home na

[SV *Champions of England* @SVCarbaholic]

He’s not a replacement for MLS. They can play together. This move ensures we can sit Declan Rice down a lot more next season

Nigerian men, please choose women who are financially stable, and women whose families are financially stable.

🚨 Excl: Ayyoub Bouaddi on future amid growing interest in Lille & #Morocco midfielder - “I’m really happy to know that some clubs are interested in me but for now I’m only focused on the WC and we will try to give everything to do our best” @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/4wSOvZxzaY

[The Football Era @Footballera0]

Yeah Bouaddi for £65m makes a lot more sense than Mateus Fernandes for £85m.

He should be Arsenal’s top midfield target now. Special player.

[afcstuff @afcstuff]

🚨 Arsenal have been actively working on the signing of Ayyoub Bouaddi (18) for several months. The club have clearly indicated to Bouaddi that he would be considered an important player in their project, with the player interested in the potential move.

Lille want around €70m for Bouaddi, while Arsenal believe their excellent relationship with club president Olivier Letang could facilitate negotiations. Another element could be, unlike PSG - who are also interested in Bouaddi - Arsenal are NOT a direct competitor in their league.

Arsenal have already scheduled further talks with Bouaddi after the World Cup & Mikel Arteta is expected to have a greater involvement in those discussions. The deal could accelerate quickly after the tournament. 🕵️‍♂️🇲🇦 [@sachatavolieri]

You people talk about feminism like it’s a cult created to be against men, it isn’t!
