Everything Arsenal
It’s safe to say that Arsenal’s Pierre Emerick Aubameyang is among the top strikers in the world. But with the Gabonese superstar showing some reluctance to sign a new contract, it’s fair to say Arsenal should start scouting future replacements for the pacy hitman in case he leaves. According to reports, Aubameyang wants to join […]
It surely can’t get much better for Manchester City winger Bernardo Silva after he helped to steer Portugal to victory over Holland to claim the Uefa Nations League on Sunday night.

It is perhaps an indication of how much Raheem Sterling has grown up that he has shown he is contrite after his media team revealed he is poised to wear the skipper’s armband tonight when England face Holland. Gareth Southgate’s men go head to head with the Dutch in Portugal in the vital Nations League […]
In the latest January transfer window, it was Arsenal who took the headlines. In their busiest January window since its introduction, they sold six players and recruited three.

Footballers often get a bad rep. There have been many instances in the past of them behaving badly and not setting the example many think they should for children the world over.

The first leg of the Europa League’s second qualifying round highlighted the fact that there can be plenty of shocks in the competition.

Perhaps the shock of the summer came this week as Leonardo Bonucci ended his seven-year tenure at Juventus. The 2016 Serie A Player of the Year has joined a revolutionised AC Milan team for a fee of €42 million. The player which Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri said would be “leader of the dressing room” just […]
The erstwhile season is over and now begins the football equivalent of dumping your partner and searching for a better model.

In unveiling Arsenal’s new 3-4-3 formation on Monday, Arsene Wenger accomplished two things. The first was most importantly that Arsenal earned three points and kept their nascent top four hopes alive.

The Arsene Wenger saga is a farce on many levels, but it is sadly not an uncommon one. While the debate is open as to whether or how much Arsenal is underachieving, there is no debate that the status of Arsene Wenger is hampering the club. Players will come and go regardless of who the […]

Life as an Arsenal fan can be really difficult sometimes. In five of the last six seasons, the side that topped the Premiership on New Year’s Day went on to lift the title. This year I was sure that Arsenal would lift the title. Most pundits predicted that Leicester City would collapse under the pressure […]
Arsene Wenger is that you? Unbelievable, Wenger is actually interested in signing players. The Frenchman is looking to add at least three signings to improve his side. The French boss has often been criticized for his lack of transfer activity. More so last season where he failed to sign a single outfield player in the […]
Arsenal, a club which has been trying to rebuild itself like the old days, has always been ambitious about getting players; but they did not have much of the recent success. A set of players with extraordinary passing skills is what Arsenal normally is but with the likes of Rosicky, Flamini and Arteta running out […]
Arsenal has never been big on signing expensive players. The Gunners have signed only two players for more than £30 million in the Arsene Wenger era, both in the last five years (Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez).
