Arsenal to swoop for Championship defender?

Worrall wanted by Arsenal in January
Football Transfer Centre


Arsenal are reportedly weighing up a January move to secure the signature of defender Joe Worrall from Championship side Nottingham Forest.

The 22-year-old, who spent the previous campaign on loan with Rangers in the Scottish top-flight, has been ever-present for Forest in the Championship this term.

According to Football Insider, the Gunners have been impressed by the progress of the former England under-21 international and they plan to send scouts to watch him in action against Queens Park Rangers on Wednesday.

It is added that the north London giants’ desire to land a new centre-back could see them make the move for Worrall when the transfer window reopens in January.

Arsenal boss Unai Emery has regularly depended on Sokratis and David Luiz for the central defensive duties in the Premier League but the combination has failed to work out.

In the 13 top-flight games this season, the Gunners have conceded 19 goals and that stands as the joint-worst defensive record from the top half of the league standings..

Ceballos set for eventual move to England?


Arsenal’s on loan midfielder Dani Ceballos has informed his agent that he would like to have his long-term future secured by January at the latest. Ceballos is currently with the Gunners on a 12 month loan deal, but could be set to return to Real Madrid at the conclusion of his temporary spell.

Ceballos has caught the eye since his arrival at the Emirates, with manager Unai Emery regularly playing the midfielder at the heart of his team. Arsenal made Ceballos one of their key acquisitions of last summer.

However, it is understood Ceballos is not keen on a long-term move to England and wants to prove himself at parent club Real Madrid.

Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane had previously indicated that Ceballos could have a future at the Bernabeu, but is not yet ready to play on a regular basis for the club.

Arsenal have no option to sign the player on a permanent deal and it is understood that Real are seeking close to 30 million euros if a deal were to be agreed to allow Ceballos to leave permanently.

Arsenal midfielder wanted by Napoli

Torreira to Napoli?


Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira has reportedly emerged as a target for Italian side Napoli ahead of the winter transfer window.

Torreira has struggled for regular gametime in the Premier League this term and he has managed just four starts with two of them resulting after the recent snub of Granit Xhaka.

According to Calciomercato, the Uruguay international is currently unsettled at the Capital outfit, considering he has yet to adapt to the style of living in England.

It is added that he is eager to make the return to the Serie A and Napoli could potentially compete with AC Milan for his services when the transfer window reopens.

The Gunners snubbed the chance to sell Torreira during the summer transfer window and they could follow the same trend at the turn of the year, particularly with Xhaka tipped to part ways with the club.

Xhaka has not featured for the north London giants since his altercation with the fans during a game against Crystal Palace and reports indicate that he may have already made his final appearance for the club.

Wenger: expected to one day return to football management


Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that he has received multiple offers from Premier League sides, but his love of the Gunners has prevented him so far making a move to another English club. Wenger has also revealed he hopes to one day return to football, but remains patient for the time being.

Wenger was replaced by Unai Emery in 2018 after a long search to find a successor for the Frenchman. The move came as a surprise for many, and Arsene Wenger admits that he misses the day to day toil of Premier League management.

“I’m an Arsenal man and after that I’m a professional. I can’t stop working,” said Wenger.

“I decided to move out of the Premier League because I am too linked with Arsenal. I had opportunities to work in England but I turned them down.

“I don’t want to tell you [which clubs] because there are people in charge and it would unfair to them.

“The hunger to play football, win games, I play charity games still. The hunger is completely there, I don’t think you lose the desire to win and that bitterness when you lose a football game.”

Manchester United suffer fresh injury blow for Arsenal clash

Wan-Bissaka out of Arsenal game?


Manchester United have received an unexpected injury blow with Aaron Wan-Bissaka unlikely to participate in tonight’s Premier League clash against Arsenal.

The England international has been ever-present for the Red Devils this season and he has missed just one game in the Europa League against Astana, where he was rested.

However, in the lead up to the Gunners clash, he seems to have suffered a mystery injury and that is expected to see him sidelined for the Premier League encounter, The Mirror reports.

Aside from Wan-Bissaka, Diogo Dalot is also unavailable for the game with a knock and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may go with either Axel Tuanzebe or Ashley Young on the right side of the defence.

Meanwhile, there are some positives on the injury front with Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford tipped to make the matchday squad after passing late fitness tests.

United are presently four points behind the final Champions League spot and Solskjaer will be hoping for a positive result against the Gunners, who are one of their top four rivals.

Arsenal legend singles out Chelsea midfielder for praise

Wright praises Mount’s impact at Chelsea


Arsenal legend Ian Wright has heaped praise on midfielder Mason Mount following Chelsea’s Premier League triumph over Brighton & Hove Albion.

The 20-year-old only made his breakthrough for the Blues at the beginning of the season but he has already an impact with three assists in the Premier League alone.

Against Brighton, Mount was a constant attacking threat from the number 10 role but his teammates could not make the most out of his distribution during the course of the game.

Still, the England international made the difference by winning the penalty which led to the opening goal and the Blues eventually sealed a 2-0 triumph over Graham Potter’s side.

Speaking in the Match of the Day programme, Wright praised the young attacker, who has taken his chance under Frank Lampard, he told: “He’s taken the opportunity, Frank’s shown a lot of faith in him. 

“They did create a lot of chances today, I thought they wasted a few of the chances. But Mason Mount, he’s somebody that is making a difference, especially in this area of the field.”

Chelsea‘s win over Brighton sees them on 11 points after seven league games. They are presently sitting in the sixth position but one of Arsenal or Manchester United could leapfrog them after the Monday night clash.

Arsenal to reject permanent transfer offer for Nketiah


Championship leaders Leeds United are unlikely to pursue a permanent deal for Eddie Nketiah as Arsenal hold no desire to part ways with their graduate.

The England Under-21 international was hugely impressive during the club’s pre-season tour of the United States but he was still loaned out to the Peacocks amid his insistence to play regular first-team football.

Eddie has since shined for Marcelo Bielsa‘s side with four goals from six appearances in all competitions and this has included a couple of late league strikes against Brentford and Barnsley.

According to The Athletic, the Championship outfit have been impressed with the showing of their loanee and they could seek to pursue him on a permanent basis at the turn of the year.

However, their chances of sealing his services remain non-existent with Unai Emery‘s side holding no interest whatsoever in sanctioning the sale of the young marksman.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette are presently the first-choice striking options at Arsenal but the latter is currently sidelined with an ankle problem until October.

Arsenal confirm new long-term contract for young midfielder

September 13, 2019 17:58 GMT (UK), by


Arsenal have announced that young midfielder Joe Willock has been handed with a new long-term contract following his impressive showing for the club this season.

The England youth international had a promising pre-season where he was regularly deployed at the heart of the midfield and his performances were sufficient enough to hand him starts in the opening three league games.

In a statement released on the club’s official website, it has now been confirmed that the youngster has been rewarded with a new and improved contract, although the length of the deal remains undisclosed.

Granit Xhaka and Matteo Guendouzi seem to have cemented two places in the centre of the park and Willock will certainly face competition for the third midfield role in the presence of Lucas Torreira and Dani Ceballos.

Arsenal will be aiming to secure their first win in three matches when they face Watford on the road this weekend. The Gunners are currently just outside of the top four on goal difference.
