Arsenal Players Were Ecstatic with the Win

This moment will reverberate throughout the years if Arsenal does what seems increasingly likely with each passing week. All of the best campaigns that win titles have those fleeting moments that set the course of fate: It was difficult not to feel that Reiss Nelson had conjured one as Arsenal’s substitutes and coaching staff piled onto the field in delirium. The Emirates stands were a blur of limbs and face rarely seen.

Against a Bournemouth team that, despite all odds, had led most of the game, Arsenal might have felt better about regaining parity from two goals down. However, in reality, a draw would never satisfy. It would have reduced Manchester City’s lead to three points and tipped the balance and momentum back in their favor. The fact was that they needed something when Martin Degaard stepped up to take their 17th corner with the seventh minute of added time almost up; how Nelson handed it out.

Arteta confident of Arsenal’s title push this season

After years of struggling to compete against the big boys in the Premier League, Arsenal are finally starting to come good and they are in the pole position as the campaign resumes following the conclusion of the World Cup. The Gunners are the top of the Premier League action and they take on rivals West Ham in the match immediately after the resumption of the league action. Mikel Arteta had to take a lot of criticism in the years leading up to the current situation. The Spaniard feels that Arsenal are finally ready to put together a title challenge.

One of the primary reasons behind Arsenal being unable to compete with the best names in the business was the lack of financial input into the squad. Arteta, though, has not spent a huge amount of money and he has slowly transformed the team. The former Manchester City assistant manager has also been given a lot of time and patience from the Arsenal owners. Arsenal get back to action with a couple of friendly games against the likes of Juventus and AC Milan before going up against West Ham. This will be a major test for the Gunners but home advantage should give them reason to expect three points from the match.

Arsenal’s Bid for Transfers in January 2023

There is much going on for the top team of the Premier League, Arsenal. As the January transfer window has opened up, Arsenal was hoping to rope in Youssoufa Moukoko, striker of Borussia Dortmund. However, it seems that the young footballer would be looking at Barcelona where he might join as a free agent. He might also consider renewing his contract with Dortmund.

The club was also considering Mykhaylo Mudryk, the acclaimed winger from Shakhtar Donetsk. There too they seem to have come across a stumbling block. They had put in a bid but that has not been accepted. Rumors are that Chelsea has put in a bid as well and probably that is the agreement that will go through. The Gunners do have an advantage over the Blues team, however. Hence there are chances that the Ukraine footballer might land with them by the time the transfer window closes end of January.
