Arsenal Radar

I need a little minute to soak this feeling in. ❤️ Wow… what a season. A complete rollercoaster. From that nervy 1-0 win against United, to the unbelievable runs in September and November, to the painful loss against Villa, the stressful April nights… and now champions. 🏆 22 years. Wow. #afc

Tomorrow, we go again. 👊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Noni, Ebs, Buks & Dec ✨

An unfortunate end to France’s World Cup campaign, with William Saliba forced off through injury. Wishing him a speedy recovery. 🇫🇷❤️

Congratulations to Arsenal trio Martin Zubimendi, David Raya and Mikel Merino, as well as Spain, on their 2-0 victory over France to book their place in the World Cup final. 🇪🇸👏

In my opinion, Lucas Digne and Ousmane Dembélé were both disappointing tonight. Bradley Barcola, on the other hand, really impressed me whenever he got on the ball. Congratulations to Spain on reaching the World Cup final. 🇪🇸👏

🚨 Arsenal explored the possibility of including Viktor Gyökeres in a player-plus-cash deal for Julián Álvarez during initial discussions with Atlético Madrid, talkSPORT understands. The Gunners remain interested in Morgan Rogers, with any potential move for Álvarez viewed as a separate pursuit. [@JacobsBen]. Thoughts? 💭

🚨 Christos Tzolis has informed Arsenal of his desire to make the move, with club-to-club talks expected to accelerate in the coming days. The Greece international is expected to cost between £30m and £35m, depending on the structure of the deal, with Club Brugge open to a sale this summer. Tzolis’ potential arrival is not expected to impact Arsenal’s pursuit of Morgan Rogers. [@JacobsBen]

🚨 Gabby Agbonlahor believes Jude Bellingham, not Declan Rice, should succeed Harry Kane as England’s next captain. Speaking to talkSPORT, the former Aston Villa striker said: “He’s the next England captain. Let’s not get it twisted. People talk about Declan Rice, no it’s not. Jude Bellingham is the next England captain after Harry Kane. No-brainer. Say no more.” Bellingham has enjoyed an outstanding World Cup campaign, scoring six goals and playing a key role in England’s run to the semi-finals. [@talkSPORT]

🚨 French journalist @LaurensJulien reports that William Saliba said, “My back is gone, my back is gone,” after pulling up injured during France’s World Cup semi-final. 🇫🇷

🚨 Arsenal have been monitoring William Saliba’s ongoing back issues, with concerns that he could eventually require a medical procedure to fully resolve the problem. The report also claims Declan Rice has been playing through the World Cup while managing fitness concerns, while Bukayo Saka’s injury issues remain well documented. [@HandofArsenal]

🚨 William Saliba has been substituted after sustaining an apparent injury in France’s World Cup semi-final. The nature of the injury is yet to be confirmed, raising concerns over the defender’s availability for the remainder of the tournament. Wishing him a full and speedy recovery.❤️‍🩹 🩺

A new chapter begins. 🖤🤍 @UpTheArse_nal

As a defender, how do you avoid that? Penalty to Spain. 👀

Who’s reaching the World Cup final? 🌍🏆

🚨Despite reports of interest from the UAE in Christian Nørgaard, the midfielder’s preference is understood to be staying in London for at least another year, should the opportunity arise. The report also states that enquiries made with contacts at Fenerbahçe indicate there is no significant interest in Gabriel Jesus as of today. Meanwhile, people involved in discussions over Christos Tzolis are said to be optimistic that negotiations will progress in the near future. [@HandofArsenal]

🚨 Morgan Rogers remains Arsenal’s top target to strengthen the winger/central attacking role. The report adds that, while Tottenham have shown interest in the England international, Rogers’ priority is understood to be Arsenal, provided the two clubs can reach an agreement over a transfer. The source also notes that further details on the situation cannot be shared at this stage, with more information expected when possible. [@HandofArsenal]

🚨 According to @HandofArsenal, there have been no formal club-to-club negotiations between Arsenal and Newcastle United over Bruno Guimarães, aside from an initial phone call in which Newcastle sought clarity on Arsenal’s position. The report adds that sporting director Andrea Berta is currently content for Kia Joorabchian to continue handling discussions unless both clubs can agree on what they consider a fair valuation. Newcastle are understood to be holding out for a fee in the region of £80-85 million. It is also claimed that Bruno Guimarães is fully convinced by Arsenal’s project and is leaving the situation in the hands of his representatives, with the expectation that any negotiations are conducted respectfully.
