The north London club have started looking across the Irish Sea for emerging players, re-opening a historic pathway of talent

I know he’s two years older but getting Bruno G for £75m flat when Tonali was £90m+ feels like a negotiation W for Arsenal. Now it’s all about what they win while he’s here, because this is a new high water mark for this age + position combo

Despite reports; Newcastle are yet to receive an official offer from Arsenal for Mathieu Debuchy.

so we now have the best Brazilian defender and midfielder at Arsenal, would be nice to also have the best attacker..

Arsenal and Newcastle have agreed a fee for Bruno Guimaraes. Flat £75m. No add-ons. Analysis on what he will bring to the Premier League champions’ midfield here: www.thesun.co.uk/sport/399342...

Bruno Guimaraes is 'plug-and-play' midfielder who can help Arsenal win it all

BRUNO GUIMARAES will help get Arsenal dancing to a different beat. The Gunners relied on defensive steel to win the Prem last season but Mikel Arteta is aware of the need to evolve. And what better…

Not speaking ill of the dead is how Jimmy Saville got something approaching a state funeral.

Qatar FA coming out and saying they 100% back Infantino is one of those "Thanks lads, but you're not helping" moments for him.

UEFA has given FIFA President Gianni Infantino an ultimatum: resign or face a no-confidence vote, The Telegraph reports . It says all 55 members would back it. Only 43 votes are needed.

He was a 10/10 signing because it meant we weren’t offering that other guy a new contract, I’ll always remember Norgaard for saving us from that

We beat Real Madrid 5-1 on aggregate in the QF of the CL in 2025, in case anyone has forgotten. Sometimes trajectory can turn your head, and ours is much more genuine than any of the spoofers and financial dopers in the Premier League.

If you’d told me last summer Declan Rice was God’s literal mouthpiece, I’d have just laughed at you. But “it’s not done” is an echoes in eternity line if ever there was one, sooooo… I’m gonna have to allow it 💁🏻‍♂️🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Declan Rice basically saved Eze’s life

They cheated, they got away with it. Can't imagine what Everton and Leicester fans will make of that.

Well, the final whistle on Chelsea FC's financial cheating under Abramovich seems to have blown. The Guardian and our reporting partners practically put it on a plate for the FA and Premier League. They blazed it over the bar. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Chelsea fined £10m and given suspended transfer ban by FA over agent breaches

The club escaped a suspended six-point deduction for the infringements after appealing against the original punishment.

theguardian.com

As people have said £10m is basically one year of wages for Reece James. The same club has spent over £100m three times in the past 5 years but sure let's not actually punish them in any meaningful way for being proven to be cheats. Of course Forest and Everton were docked points 🙄

Can't be the first to say this, but (and yay UEFA - brilliant) this works equally well if you swap out "football" for maybe "water" or "a stable climate". Look at me being the revolutionary socialist. "No one has the moral authority to sell what they merely hold in trust for the next generation."

For those keeping score, here's how FIFA's 211 members break down by confederation: • UEFA: 55 ❌ • CAF: 54 🤔 • AFC: 46 😠 • CONCACAF: 35 ❌ • OFC: 11 🤔 • CONMEBOL: 10 🤷‍♂️

Cannot overstate how much having a gold lion on it means… 🥹😃🏆

Today experienced the 24th day of year hitting 30C in London. For perspective in whole of 1980s we had 21 days.
