Danny Welbeck, currently fighting a long-term knee injury, recently sat down to talk about the Gunners’ upcoming opponents Sunderland for the upcoming matchday programme.

Of the many rumoured transfer targets that ultimately failed to come off for Arsenal this summer, one of the more intriguing options was Real Madrid’s Isco. While it was thought that Arsène Wenger repeatedly attempted to lure the 23-year old playmaker to the Emirates, the Spanish giants were able to resist the Gunners’ overtures. However, […]
The Arsenal medical staff have as many questions as answers heading into Saturday’s clash with relegation candidates Sunderland. The injury bug has hit the Gunners hard in recent weeks, and guessing the lineup for the upcoming Christmas period is a seemingly-hopeless exercise. During the past weekend’s disappointing draw at Carrow Road against Norwich City, both […]

Premier League teams collectively spent nearly £130m in agents’ fees over the past 12 months, according to data released by the Premier League. That represents roughly a £15m increase over the 2014 period.

Didier Drogba knows a thing or two about title-winning teams, having been in four of them during his prolific Chelsea career. So when he talks about his predictions for the 2015-2016 title predictions, they may be considered worthwhile. The Ivorian also knows a great deal about the impact of a top-flight keeper like Petr Čech, as they […]
Ahead of Tuesday evening’s absolutely critical UEFA Champions League fixture with Dinamo Zagreb, Arsène Wenger spoke with the assembled media about a variety of topics. Among them: injury updates on a few players. There were very few surprises from the boss, but the squad will at least be getting one crucial player back. Coquelin and […]
Arsenal looked to come back from the international break strong with a group of fixtures that looked, on paper, to be quite winnable. However, despite scoring the opener through a beautiful Mesut Özil delivery and Olivier Giroud finish, the Gunners gave up a pair of disastrous goals and were unable to find the equaliser in […]
According to reports in Italy, Arsenal scouts have been watching Genoa defender Armando Izzo for a possible January transfer. Arsène Wenger is thought to be eager to land the 23-year old, and the Gunners reportedly had scouts at Genoa’s match against Serie A powerhouse Napoli, which ended in a 0-0 draw. Genoa currently sit 15th […]
If form holds over the course of the next three years as it has over the past three, Nacho Monreal may go down as one of Arsène Wenger’s better signings.
