Arsenal faithful booed the players off the field after the Gunners’ humiliating 4-3 defeat at the hands of Liverpool at Emirates Stadium last Sunday. However, it is a truism that more fans were frustrated than they were shocked. They never saw the loss coming; they had not failed to see it coming, either. They knew
Despite the media giants linking Arsenal with only second-tier strikers, several ITK accounts on Twitter are hyping the Arsenal faithful up, claiming the Gunners are cooking up something big behind the curtains. Despite the ITK accounts often being ridiculed for claiming credit for hit-and-miss claims, they continue to break news much before the media giants
Premier League clubs have spent £513 million on transfers so far this summer. Thanks to the influx of television deal, the English top-flight clubs have been able to attract big names. Even more high-profile transfers will be completed in the coming weeks as the managers look to strengthen their squads ahead of what will likely
Arsenal have already made three acquisitions this summer ahead of the 2016/17 campaign. They are expected to make at least two more additions as injuries to key players have made squad depth an issue to be addressed. Despite Arsene Wenger and Ivan Gazidis (HT Robby Lyle of ArsenalFanTV) making it clear that the club are
Premier League has seen big names like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Michy Batshuayi join big clubs in Manchester United and Chelsea respectively. Relative nobodies such as Takuma Asano and Oleksandr Zinchenko have managed to sneak into the dressing rooms of big clubs such as Arsenal and Manchester City respectively. However, many big names have also ended
“We have not closed any deal with anybody at the moment,” said Arsene Wenger, when the press inquired whether Arsenal were closing in on a deal for Shkodran Mustafi. “Speaking about Mustafi – Mustafi or anybody else – we have not concluded anything at the moment.” The ever so shrewd Arsenal manager gave away nothing.
After wrapping up the Granit Xhaka transfer early into the transfer window, Arsenal’s transfer activity implied they were only looking to add a world-class striker to their roster. Whilst the club officials began a game of poker in their attempts to land one, their first-choice right centre-back and skipper, Per Mertesacker, sustained a knee injury
Arsenal were rumoured to be eyeing only at a striker transfer after wrapping up three signings, but Per Mertesacker’s five-month injury layoff has forced manager Arsene Wenger to be on the lookout for defensive reinforcements. The manager himself has acknowledged his hunt, and the club has seen many centre-backs linked with them over a summer
Having sustained a knee injury in a friendly against Lens, Per Mertesacker will be on the sidelines until the first half of the nascent Premier League season. Subsequently, Arsene Wenger, who has lately become outspoken about transfer dealings, admitted that Arsenal would look “to bring somebody in” with considerable “experience” in the coming weeks. After
“Last season was my first full season with the team from start to finish and to me it was a very productive time,” stated Joel Campbell, who started Arsenal’s last campaign as a fringe player. “I played 30 games and that was very important for me and made me mature a lot. I could show
Juventus have confirmed the signing of former Arsenal target Gonzalo Higuain. Whilst the Gunners were reported to be reluctant to meet his release clause, Juventus have pledged to pay Napoli his £75.3 million release clause in two instalments over two years. The Argentine, thus, has become the third most expensive signing in football history, only
India is slowly emerging as a rather profitable market for football, with the Indian Super League attracting names like Robert Pires and top Premier League clubs attempting to woo their Indian fans during festivities such as Diwali and Holi through the social media. The subcontinent’s new crowning achievement comes in the form of Premier Futsal,
Alvaro Morata is set to sign a five-year contract with Real Madrid. Arsenal have pulled out of the race for Alexandre Lacazette because of Olympique Lyonnais’ ridiculous valuation. Romelu Lukaku’s asking price and the doubts over his talent are certain to put off any potential deal for him. Lionel Messi is not available. That leaves
Olivier Giroud had a European Championship campaign so outstanding — he was the second-joint top scorer — that it has prompted transfer requests from an array of European heavyweights. Although Arsenal have turned down the interested parties’ advances, he cannot, as evidenced by the 2015/16 campaign, wholly shoulder Arsenal’s striking responsibility. A striker is the
Days after confirming interest from the Liga BBVA, Olympique Lyonnais president Jean-Michel Aulas verified on July 1 that he had reached an agreement with Barcelona over the sale of highly-coveted defender, Samuel Umtiti. He is Barcelona’s second signing of what should be a quiet summer for the club. Background In the wake of Marc
Arsenal have already made two signings despite the transfer window being open for less than a week. Hours after Arsenal confirmed their second signing Takuma Asano from J1 League, ESPN Brazil published a report linking them with a move for teenage striker Gabriel Barbosa, who has allegedly been attracting interest from Fiorentina and a host
With the Arsenal fan base crying out for Gonzalo Higuains and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyangs, Arsene Wenger has signed a relative nobody in Takuma Asano from J1 League side Sanfrecce Hiroshima. Although the announcement has been received with mixed reactions, the manager has been quick to label him as “one for the future”. Whilst his words clearly
Roy Hodgson promptly resigned from his managerial post after England’s elimination from European Championship, at the hands of minnows Iceland. Gareth Southgate, the current England under-21 manager, is set to take over as the interim manager, with former England coaches and big names such as Brendan Rodgers and Jurgen Klinsmann expected to be announced as
Victor Wanyama has arrived at White Hart Lane to much fanfare. His dream of playing for a Champions League club in the Premier League has finally come true. As evinced by the effort and time Tottenham Hotspur have put into making his announcement memorable, the club seem excited as he is, to have him don
Last season saw the unforeseen rise of many a youngster such as Marcus Rashford, Kelechi Iheanacho, and Arsenal’s Alex Iwobi. Although these youngsters were tendered first-team minutes only during adverse conditions, odds are that the Premier League will see such revelations in the upcoming season. Donyell Malen and Stephy Mavididi have been proving talented enough
Snubbing interest from Manchester United and Arsenal, Breel Embolo has moved to Schalke 04 on a five-year deal. Turning down the advances of Premier League giants in favour of a move to a Bundesliga club, who have been in the shadows of Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich, may seem a rather unwise move. However, as
Arsene Wenger surprisingly admitted earlier this summer that he would bring in at least three more signings before the transfer window slams shut on August 31. Having brought down only Granit Xhaka so far, he is now rumoured to be eyeing transfers for many a world-beater such as Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Medhi Benatia. With the
With Arsène Wenger admitting Arsenal would make three signings this summer, the transfer rumour floodgates have opened for the Gunners. Having signed Mesut Özil, Alexis Sánchez, and Petr Čech in the recent past, they have been linked with many world-class players as well as Arsenal-esque targets such as Rob Holding. One of the most recent
With rumours linking proven stars such as Jamie Vardy, Ricardo Rodriguez, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan cooling off, Arsenal are now being reported to be closing in on the signing of Championship defender Rob Holding by Daily Star, Express, and Daily Mail, among other sources. At O-Posts, we break down every widely reported transfer rumour, and Praveen
With Arsenal’s Jamie Vardy pursuit put on hold at least until England crash out of the UEFA European Championship — or lift their maiden Euros title — the Gunners have turned their attention to Fulham striker Moussa Dembele, according to ESPN’s unnamed sources. Dembele’s current contract with the Craven Cottage club expires next month; he
