Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard sent a message tonight. They responded exactly how winners should, and they've earned #Arsenal a big three points on a tough ground. We've added upgrades, but they are not going to roll over easy; competition starts on the team sheet.
September 16, 2025 at 8:22 PM
Ben White's return is a big boost for #Arsenal. Jurrien Timber has been sensational but there are so many games and so many different set ups to break down. The differences in their games and the ability to rotate is key; we need our best players available and competing to play.
September 11, 2025 at 3:55 PM
Martin Zubimendi and Riccardo Calafiori are allowing #Arsenal to maximise Declan Rice. From dropping into left back, between the centre backs, covering as a six, charging up the pitch on the carrying and box crashing as an eight, we get his all action best. He’s just warming up.
August 27, 2025 at 12:22 PM
Look at his reaction. Eberechi Eze knows exactly what the number 10 at #Arsenal means; he’s living every fan’s dream. This is a special signing, and the way it has united the fan base is not only a testament to his talent, but the incredible personality that comes with it.
August 26, 2025 at 5:44 PM
This image. The signings of Declan Rice and Eberechi Eze showed how serious #Arsenal are about winning. These two are now entering their peak and they are desperate to win the biggest trophies. We have to embrace and enjoy the pressure; our squad has never been more complete.
August 26, 2025 at 9:17 AM
These videos hit hard. Eberechi Eze is home; he’s a proper #Arsenal boy determined to win the Premier League at the prime of his career. He’s taken responsibility at Palace and led their attack, but he’s going to give absolutely everything now. This is more than a normal signing.
August 24, 2025 at 5:16 PM
The Eze news has lifted and united the #Arsenal fan base, and it will lift the dressing room. Today is about getting our fluidity going again and getting Viktor Gyökeres off the mark. Without Kai, the pressure will be on him to deliver and he will be desperate for his first goal.
August 23, 2025 at 8:01 AM
Martin Zubimendi is changing lives all over the pitch. The speed he releases, the intelligence of his positioning and his ability to seemingly interchange with Declan Rice has made #Arsenal look like a completely different team in the space of four days. A world class signing.
August 10, 2025 at 8:40 AM
It's been over four months since #Arsenal last had Gabriel in the team. Huge boost to have him back in contact training ahead of the game tonight; we've lacked his front footed, progressive defending and his set piece aggression at both ends. We need him fit for Old Trafford.
August 6, 2025 at 7:05 AM
#Arsenal lacked attacking chaos last season and we’ve seen the same in Asia; Noni Madueke has it in abundance. He’s spent his holiday working with a personal coach to ensure he’s in peak condition to play, and his pace, 1v1 threat, carrying and shot volume will be a game changer.
August 5, 2025 at 5:56 PM
There were question marks about how quickly Martin Zubimendi would adapt. Playing physical Premier League teams in Asia give him that early taste, and he thrived in duels and made the pitch his canvas. #Arsenal’s best football has come with him at the centre; he’s ready to roll.
August 4, 2025 at 6:29 PM
Ben White has been one of our brightest players in Asia. The long recovery sprints and the ability to get up and down on the overlap point to a player who put in serious hours in the off season. He still needs to get closer to his man 1v1, but #Arsenal have a top player back.
August 3, 2025 at 11:27 AM
#Arsenal were leggy and static in attack, but Martin Ødegaard’s performance was worth noting. He was willing to shoot from the off, his passing was more vertical, and he wanted the ball between the lines, not outside the block. Not everything came off, but a blueprint is forming.
July 31, 2025 at 2:40 PM
Joelinton smashed into Max Dowman thinking he was making mark on him, only to be absolutely humiliated for the next 20 minutes by a 15 year old. The way this kid carries, dribbles and makes decisions in the final third is on another level. He will make an impact this season.
July 28, 2025 at 10:01 AM
Myles Lewis-Skelly looked like an elder statesman yesterday. The authority in his position, the certainty and bravery of his passing and the physical presence he has is not normal at 18. It feels like #Arsenal will see even more growth this season; he looks sharp and hungry.
July 24, 2025 at 7:35 AM
Ethan Nwaneri in the bag. This one is as much on Mikel Arteta as it is on Andrea Berta - he has been managed superbly, with only Cesc Fabregas playing more minutes for #Arsenal before turning 18. Huge extension ahead of a massive season for him.
July 15, 2025 at 8:27 PM
Zubimendi ‘only Arsenal’
Mosquera ‘only Arsenal’
Gyokeres ‘only Arsenal’
Madueke ‘only Arsenal’
Kepa ‘only Arsenal’
Gabriel ‘only Arsenal’
Lewis-Skelly ‘only Arsenal’
Nørgaard cried when he saw his Arsenal shirt.

We used to lose our best players every summer and dream of times like these.
July 15, 2025 at 6:23 AM
Our deep build up has been too slow and predictable with too many touches. Martin Zubimendi changes that by going forwards, sideways and backwards quickly, knowing when to slow, and at times, by moving his marker to make space for Saliba, Myles or others to carry. Chess master.
July 8, 2025 at 8:49 AM
Lots of clubs wanted Viktor Gyökeres, but his priority was always #Arsenal, and he’s now willing to sacrifice €2m to make it happen. Say what you want about him, but he’s determined to be here and that mentality is what you want in a nine with big pressure to deliver.
July 6, 2025 at 8:32 PM
This picture should hit hard. Martin Zubimendi was the best six on the market and was wanted by Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayern: #Arsenal’s proactive approach secured an elite player who is worth a lot more than £56m. This is a midfield game changer in and out of possession.
July 6, 2025 at 3:57 PM
Ethan Nwaneri’s contract has to be the priority extension for #Arsenal now. Only Cesc Fabregas played more for the club before turning 18, so the minutes and trust are there. If the club has to slightly overpay, you do it - we broke our youth wage structure for him and it paid dividends.
July 5, 2025 at 11:28 AM
#Arsenal finish most windows a player short, but The Athletic report that Eberechi Eze could come in alongside a LW and a striker shows intent. He’s a level raiser with traits no one else at the club has, and even if you pay the full £68m release, you’re getting a prime age star.
July 1, 2025 at 9:02 AM
If #Arsenal sign Christian Nørgaard, it should be the last time we hear ‘shrewd business’ this summer. He’s 31 Premier, League proven, with a good all round game, over heightened aggression and an eye for goal. But, our other signings must be level raisers.
June 25, 2025 at 11:19 AM
Just look at Santi Cazorla. In 2016, he feared he’d never walk again, and would possibly lose his foot. To be winning promotion for his boyhood club at 40 years old, after everything he’s suffered, is fairytale stuff. Moments like this are why we all love football.
June 22, 2025 at 11:01 AM
Two weeks ago, there was a meltdown because Real Madrid were trying to steal Martin Zubimendi. Don’t let the delay in completion lessen the magnitude of this signing for #Arsenal. He is the most in demand tempo setting six in the world, and our proactiveness sealed this. Huge, huge deal.
