ARSENAL MIDFIELDER REPORTEDLY WANTS TO LEAVE THIS SUMMER

It is expected to be a long summer for Premier League club Arsenal who have lined up a summer rebuild that will see them let go of a couple of players and have also planned to sign their replacements. However, they are in a very precarious situation at the moment and will find it very hard to attract their first-choice transfer targets this summer because they have missed the chance to participate in the UEFA Champions League next season.

The Champions League is always a competition that every footballer wants to play in and win, and if they are going to sign for a club, it is also a criterion that influences the club they eventually choose to sign for. It’s the current situation at the Emirates Stadium, with midfielder Granit Xhaka reportedly expressing his desire to leave the club in search of Champions League football.

The Gunners were asked to pay a sum of £70 million for the Manchester United academy graduate but were reluctant to fork out such a huge sum for the star. Their reluctance to bend to Palace’s demands meant that they would have to go look for other options, and they began scouting for other possible targets.

Arsenal Reportedly Willing To Listen For Offers For Aubameyang

In what will come as one of the most surprising transfer rumours in the summer, it looks as though London club Arsenal will be readily willing to listen to offers for want-away striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Gabonese striker has been out of form for the majority of this campaign and is also reportedly not settled at the club, leading to reports claiming that he may not be an Arsenal player when Arsenal play their first fixture of the next season.

Aubameyang has come under huge criticism from pundits this season after failing to replicate his fine form of last season while he has also sparked debate among fans who believe he should no longer start games for the club. French striker Alexandre Lacazette has started the Gunners’ last few games during which Aubameyang was relegated to the substitutes’ bench, adding even more fuel to the speculations linking him away from the club.

ARSENAL SET RECORD WITH CITY DEFEAT

Arsenal have set an unwanted record in the Premier League after they were beaten by league leaders Manchester City on Sunday. The Gunners conceded inside two minutes to a Raheem Sterling header and that proved to be enough for Manchester City to win the game by a lone goal thereby maintaining their good record over Arsenal in the competition. With the 1-0 defeat at home to Manchester City, Arsenal have not set a record of four successive home defeats to a single team in the Premier League era.

The Gunners have lost their last four home games to Manchester City in the Premier League to make it eight defeats in a row in the competition against the same opponents. As a matter of fact, the eight-game losing run against Manchester City equals the record for Arsenal since league football started in England over a century ago. The record was set against Leeds United in the 70s between 1973 and 1976.The Gunners have not beaten Manchester in any of their last 11 meetings in the league. In that time, Arsenal have beaten them twice in the FA Cup semi-final.

Alexandre Lacazette contract talks on hold, confirms Mikel Arteta

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that the future of striker Alexandre Lacazette will be decided only in the summer, as no contract talks are being held at the moment. The Frenchman’s contract with Arsenal runs out in the summer and the club has had a lot of experiences when it comes to leading players leave on a free due to the failure to agree terms with a new contract. It appears that history seems to be repeating with Alexandre Lacazette, who will be able to discuss terms with a foreign club.

The striker has been one of the top scorers for Arsenal this season. He has managed nine goals in 19 appearances, as the gunners have been able to soften the blow of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang being unavailable for a decent part of the campaign. After recently agreeing to a new contract,Aubameyang has been hit by a number of injury problems and he has only scored five goals in all competitions this season.

William Gallas urges Arsenal to make new signings in January

Former Arsenal captain William Gallas believes the club should make changes to the squad when the transfer window reopens at the turn of the year. The north London giants have endured a difficult 2020/21 campaign in the Premier League and they have attained just 14 points from 13 games into the season.

That is already their worst ever start since the league was formed in 1992 and that has led to criticism from a certain section of the fans. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta continues to retain the support from the hierarchy and a major section of the supporters, but there is bound to be some transfer activity at the turn of the year.

ÖZIL LOOKS ALL SET TO LEAVE ARSENAL FOR TURKISH CLUB

Mesut Özil’s constant decline and omission from the Arsenal squad keep raising eyebrows as he continues to be in exile while still contracted to the club. Özil previously had issues with former boss Unai Emery before the manager was sacked and replaced by Arteta.

When former Guardiola right-hand man Arteta joined the club, Arsenal fans who love the German playmaker were in high spirits and thought things were going to change for the better and the former Real Madrid man would be restored to the team, but the situation has even gone worse.
