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

🚨👀 Spain’s victory in Euro 2024 didn’t just win them a trophy—it cost Alvaro Morata his marriage. A fiery argument over family access after the final blew up into a divorce battle that no one saw coming. The couple’s love story, which started in 2016, ended in flames just days after Spain’s historic win. Was this the price of glory? Only those closest to them know the full, explosive truth. #football #fifa #morata #alvaro #messi #cristianoronaldo #cr7 #alicecampello #trend #footballfanarena #footballfansarena2024 #ffa

🚨👀 Arsenal has slammed the door on Al Ittihad's insulting £29.5 million bid for Leandro Trossard! Despite the transfer window closing in England and Scotland, the Saudi giants' attempt to lure Trossard away is brutally rejected. Arsenal’s message is clear: Trossard is NOT for sale, no matter the price! #football #fifa #trossard #leandro #post #trend #footballfanarena #footballfansarena2024 #ffa

Arsenal have made a massive bid of £42.5 million plus Jakub Kiwior to sign Atalanta's Ademola Lookman, with hopes of bolstering their attack before the transfer window closes. Despite Atalanta's asking price being higher, the offer could be persuasive due to Kiwior's appeal to the club. #football #fifa #arsenal #lookman #messi #ademolalookman #cr7 #ronaldo #trend #footballfanarena #footballfansarena2024 #ffa

Arsenal have made it clear to Real Sociedad that they are unwilling to meet their €35 million (£29.8m) asking price for Mikel Merino, according to reports in Spain. Mikel Arteta has made Merino his top target to strengthen Arsenal’s midfield but the Gunners remain in talks with Real Sociedad over a move for the 28-year-old. According to El Diario Vasco, a newspaper based in San Sebastian, Arsenal have not submitted an offer to Real Sociedad for Merino but will not match the €35m (£29.8m) bid that the Basque club have received from Atletico Madrid. The report claims that Arsenal consider Merino’s valuation too high for a player who will be out of contract at the end of the season. #footballfanarena #ffa #arsenal #realsociedad #mikelarteta #atleticomadrid #football

West Ham have sent a statement to their Premier League rivals by hijacking a €40m (£34m) transfer for France international defender Jean-Clair Todibo. That’s according to the latest reports, which indicate that the Hammers have swooped in to beat Italian giants Juventus to the centre-back’s signature. Juventus were in talks with OGC Nice for weeks in the hope of singing Todibo but the French club stood firm on their valuation and refused to sell for a low price. That opened the door for West Ham, who are confident of getting the ‘final green light’ from the player in the next few hours, says transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. #footballfanarena #ffa #westham #premierleague #jean-clairtodibo #juventus #football #transferwindow

Manchester United are still over £10 million apart from Bayern Munich’s valuation of Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui, according to reports. Erik ten Hag remains in the market for another new central defender after new £52 million signing Leny Yoro was ruled out for three months with a broken foot earlier this week. United have held talks with Bayern for De Ligt this summer but they have refused to meet the German club’s €50m (£42m) asking price for the Netherlands international. United have also agreed personal terms with Mazraoui but have not agree a fee with Bayern Munich. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #eriktenhag #bayernmunich #football

Ex-Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is on a mission to bring Eddie Nketiah to Marseille after telling him to join the French club this summer. That comes despite Aubameyang leaving Les Phoceens, after it was announced earlier this month that he had been signed by Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadsiah. It seems Gunners striker Nketiah could be coming in to replace Aubameyang amid reports that he has already agreed personal terms with the Ligue 1 team. Arsenal and Marseille have been unable to agree on a price thus far, though, which has somewhat stalled the deal and led to fears it could all fall through. #footballfanarena #ffa #arsenal #football #marseille

Crystal Palace have raised their price to sign England Euro 2024 star Marc Guehi, amid interest from Liverpool and Manchester United. Guehi was arguably England’s best and most consistent player throughout the European Championships, playing all but one game as the Three Lions fell short at the final hurdle. His impact caught many by surprise given his lack of international experience, having only become a starting player after Harry Maguire was forced to miss the tournament through injury. #footballfanarena #FFA #manchesterunited #euro2024 #England #marcguehi
