Arsenal will kick off their Europa League campaign against Vorskla Poltava on Thursday. A competition that promises opponents from all corners of the vast, sprawling continent of Europe, Vorskla will make the trip to North London from Ukraine. How much do you know about the Ukrainian Premier League team? I’m guessing, not loads. Fear not […]
Lucas Torreira is set to start an Arsenal match for the first time, as the Gunners prepare to face Vorskla Poltava on Thursday.

David Seaman believes he has found the reason for Petr Cech’s recent struggles at Arsenal. The shot-stopper has looked entirely uncomfortable when playing out from the back, coming close to costing his team goals on multiple occasions.

Arsenal’s ‘pursuit’ of Paulo Dybala in 2017 was, ultimately, much ado about nothing. Gunners fans allowed themselves to dream, as any fan-base linked with such a star would do.

Alexandre Lacazette has claimed his close bond with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will help the pair become one of the most prolific striking duos the Premier League has had the good fortune to witness.

Danny Welbeck has been named in the England squad for the upcoming Nations League fixtures against Switzerland and Spain. The striker has retained his place in the squad from the World Cup, where he played a minimal part in England’s run that ended at the hands of Croatia in the semi-finals. Something of an England […]
Mesut Özil can’t have enjoyed the last few months. The midfielder was part of Germany’s doomed World Cup squad, and then a ferocious row broke out surrounding his meeting with autocratic Turkish president Recep Erdogan which led to him quitting the national team. Hoping he may find refuge in club football with Arsenal, the 29-year-old […]
Arsenal and West Ham will meet at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday for a game that will pit two new managers against one another – with both of them searching for a first point. Unai Emery’s Gunners have had a brutal start to their season against Manchester City and Chelsea, and have fallen to two […]
