Mikel Arteta already knows which two players he wants to buy next after signing a new three-year contract with Arsenal. The Gunners boss has committed his future to the Emirates in a deal worth £30million after coming agonisingly close to winning the last two Premier League titles. ‘Together with the players and everyone at the club, we are looking forward to the coming years, with our supporters, who have emotionally transformed the club and the team,’ Arteta said. ‘Our supporters have transformed individuals and we are different now. You can tell that we are different and for me, that is down to them. We look forward to continuing the journey together.’ #footballfanarena #ffa #arsenal #mikelarteta #premierleague #football #transferwindow

Graeme Souness has warned Chelsea’s owners their transfer strategy is ‘creating a monster’ with the decision to replace Raheem Sterling with Jadon Sancho another example of their questionable approach. Having publicly deemed Sterling surplus to requirements, Arsenal pounced on transfer deadline day to sign the experienced England international on loan until the end of the season. Subsequent reports claim the Gunners are paying less than a third of the 29-year-old’s salary, which means the Blues are effectively paying around £10million to let Sterling represent one of their main rivals until June. Souness fears that decision represents a grave error, with Enzo Maresca’s chances of succeeding only further undermined by the signing of Jadon Sancho who has struggled to adapt to the Premier League since his move to Manchester United three years ago. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #liverpool #arsenal #mikelarteta #premierleague #enzomaresca #souness #football

Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O’Hara has aimed a dig at Arsenal star Ben White ahead of the north London derby, saying he doesn’t ‘respect’ him. The Gunners travel to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this weekend, as they attempt to get back to winning ways following the the international break. White enjoyed a rest during the top-flight break, because he doesn’t wish to be considered for selection by England, despite his ability to play at the top level. That stance has seen White receive plenty of criticism – and ahead of Sunday’s match between Spurs and Arsenal – O’Hara has decided to publicly slam White. #footballfanarena #ffa #arsenal #tottenham #hotspurs #jamie #football

EA Sports has introduced a list of new features and various game modes, and it is understandably irresistible to check out the player ratings. Manchester City duo Rodri and Erling Haaland share the top rating of 91, with fellow team-mate Kevin De Bruyne third with a 90 rating. Arsenal's Martin Odegaard joins Liverpool trio Alisson, Virgil van Dijk, and Mohamed Salah with an 89 rating. #footballfanarena #ffa #mancity #erlinghaaland #EAsports #arsenal #duorodri #football

Arsenal fans have been left furious after Jarred Gillett was named as the referee for Sunday’s north London derby against Tottenham. Gillett, 37, was the referee for the Gunners’ opening Premier League game of the season as they defeated Wolves 2-0 at the Emirates last month. The Australian official angered Arsenal supporters in that match when he didn’t send off Wolves star Yerson Mosquera after he grabbed Kai Havertz by the throat. Last season, Gillett disallowed a last-minute Havertz goal against Aston Villa, which has also been referenced by Arsenal fans on social media before the derby. #footballfanarena #ffa #arsenal #tottenham #gillett #fans #football #premierleague

Norway manager Stole Solbakken joked he is not expecting a positive phone call from Mikel Arteta after Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard suffered a serious looking injury last night. The Gunners, already without the suspended Declan Rice and injured summer signing Mikel Merino, now face an anxious wait to find out the severity of the damage their skipper sustained to his ankle ahead of Sunday’s north London derby. Odegaard had to be helped off the pitch by Norway’s medical staff and was in obvious pain following a robust challenge from Christoph Baumgartner midway through the second half of a Nations League match against Austria. #footballfanarena #ffa #arsenal #mikelarteta #liverpool #nationsleague #football

🚨👀 Arsenal has slammed the door on Al Ittihad's insulting £29.5 million bid for Leandro Trossard!

Arsenal have lost another academy star to Manchester United this summer after talented goalkeeper Hubert Graczyk made the switch to Old Trafford. Graczyk, who joined Arsenal from Everton when he was 14, was let go by the Gunners when his contract expired at the end of last season. The 21-year-old was not long without a club, though, and has now completed the move to join United’s Under-21s side for the upcoming season. While the deal has not been officially confirmed, Graczyk was named on the bench for United’s Under-21s last Friday as they beat Blackburn Rovers 3-1 in the Premier League 2. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #arsenal #everton #premierleague #graczyk #transferwindow #football

Leandro Trossard could become the latest big name to head to Saudi Arabia, with Al-Ittihad putting a €35 million (£29m/$39m) offer to Arsenal. #arsenal #leandrotrossard #al-lttihad #saudi #football
