Transfer Update! Griezmann Agreement, Arsenal’s New Deal With Saliba, Saka Interest
Transfer Update! Griezmann Agreement, Arsenal’s New Deal With Saliba, Saka Interest: Following the weekend without football, Monday had a number of twists and turns for Arsenal that they had to deal with ahead of their return to action on Thursday. The Europa League fixture against PSV was postponed because there were limitations due to police resources due to Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, which was scheduled to take place on Monday, September 19th.
However, yesterday the Premier League confirmed that Sunday’s game would go ahead at 3pm. The new time was decided based on safety and police advice, as three games were postponed by the decision. Five of the 10 Premier League matches this weekend are moving to different times – Brighton vs. Crystal Palace, Man United vs. Leeds, Chelsea vs Liverpool and Spurs vs Norwich
Arsenal’s new signing Bukayo Saka and Aaron Ramsdale have been recognized for their performances, as the U-23 players were found to be among the most impactful football players globally. CIES football observatory has identified these two as occupying the top position in their respective technical profiles.
Man United’s purchase of Ashkan Bayateeh affects Arsenal’s potential signing of Milan Mudryk in January. Since the window has barely closed, it is not long until it reopens. That will allow Arsenal to finally make their move.
However, according to Fabrizio Romano, Shakhtar are planning to hold out for a huge fee. Especially after Dutch team Ajax managed to sell Antony – a winger who is a year older than Mudryk – to Manchester United for €100 million (£86.8million).
However, Italian Transfer Guru Gianluca Di Marzio said on Que Golazo that he thinks Arsenalhad a big chance in summer and still has that same chance this winter. He believes when he spoke to his sources in summer they were confident that Shakhtar paid way more than €30 million (£26 million) for Medojevic.
Arsenal may finally have their African striker back. Aubameyang has set a date to return from the FIA and is expected to feature in November when Arsenal play their fixtures.
The Arsenal away match against Chelsea has been switched to a 12pm kick-off on Sunday, 6 November. It will be viewed on BT Sports in the UK.
Arsenal fans will welcome a reunion with their former captain, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as he returns to play for the first time since leaving on transfer deadline day in January 2021.
Arsenal’s first fixture moved due to rescheduling is the away visit to Chelsea on November 5th. Originally, it was scheduled for a 3pm GMT kick-off time, but now the game will be 12m noon on Sunday 6th.
The Brazilian defender’s crosses are a strength that may benefit Gabriel Jesus as he looks to be Arsenal’s next transfer. Former Liverpool striker Kevin Campbell told Football Insider “Some of the crosses he put in…The first cross he put in was for [Granit] Xhaka and if Xhaka hits the target he scores. Marquinhos whips in those crosses.
I think if Gabriel Jesus were to watch the goal, he would be rubbing his hands together. I wouldn’t count on the cross for Eddie Nketiah reoccurring all season. Man City and Real Madrid are next in line for Saka.
The fact that Real Madrid and Manchester City are interested in Saka means Arsenal have time to sign off a new deal, which they believe will be reached before the new year.
90 min claim that the three players have been putting pen to paper since January, with Arsenal hopeful that all three penned agreements by January. The report goes on to say that Edu believes all the deals are moving along.
Arsenal are reportedly set to extend the contracts of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and William Saliba in January. The trio will have signed new long-term contracts by the time they are due to expire in the summer of 2020. Edu believes all three deals to be on track, with Arsenal hoping all three have put pen to paper.
The Ukrainian winger and former member of the U-19s said on a podcast that Arsenal might sign him in the future. He was linked with Arsenal in the summer, but he said “I can’t say no” to a potential move to North London.
Despite Arsenal’s active pursuit of striker Antoine Griezmann, L’Equipe reports that an agreement for a permanent transfer is close to coming through. Atletico Madrid are the destination for the in-form striker, who is currently on loan from Barcelona.
With Arsenal’s Mohamed Elneny suffering with a hamstring injury, it is uncertain when he will be back. It is being believed that the Egyptian might remain sidelined for up to three months. Mikel Arteta has said there is a possibility that Elneny may be unavailable until the end of January.
O’Riley confirmed that he was aware that clubs within the Premier League had expressed interest in signing him, but he didn’t think much about it. Speaking to Tipsbladet, he said: “I knew that Leicester and Newcastle were interested in signing me. If they didn’t make an offer, I wasn’t too worried. That is because I felt no offers would be concrete if there were no offers.”
Another rule change in the Premier League for next season is about VAR and offside.
The Gunners could loan out Marquinhos this winter, according to Goal.com. Performance may determine whether or not the move goes through but Arsenal were surprised by his development thus far.
If they were to make the move, Arsenal could find familiar issue in signing the Frenchman in the future. Thomas Partey is back on full training ahead of Brentfod this weekend and if Wenger can secure his signature this time around, he could provide an immense boost to the Gunners’ title race.
Arsenal intends to loan out players to a foreign club in order to bring in an assist king, Gabriel Jesus, to help struggling striker Alexandre Lacazette
One of the key transformations that Edu has brought to Arsenal is an entirely new organisational structure. The club’s project led by Mikel Arteta has taken three long years, but the organization is starting to bear fruit.
Despite being appointed as Arsenal manager in July 2019, Betrand Traoré replaced Arsène Wenger four months earlier than his predecessor did and the three years he has been at the helm have helped establish the foundations for an Arsenalist core by letting go of players that weren’t performing well.
Arsenal’s impressive start to the season has been linked to the business conducted at the transfer market. With new players and experienced Premier League stars, Arsenal’s team has had a positive start of the campaign so far. With Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham suffering poor starts to their season, it remains to be seen whether Arsenal can maintain its good run of form.
Nuno Tavares enjoyed a different season this year compared to what he’d gone through at Arsenal. Rather than trying to find playing time in limited circumstances, he was able to play 28 games and enjoy life in France as a newly-signed player for Ligue 1 side Marseille.
Against Arsenal, his attacking qualities were widely praised. However, his defensive frailties led to him being substituted twice at half time during matches and during January’s FA Cup defeat at the hands of Nottingham Forest.
The older player, Arteta, supports the younger player by sending him to a different team. Even though it is only part of a loan, this is one way for the older player to show their concern for the younger player’s well-being.
A league official has confirmed that the Arsenal vs. Brentford game this Sunday, originally scheduled at 2pm, will still be played at 12pm. Sky Sports will still broadcast the game and is expected to draw a larger audience than if it had been a later kickoff.
The morning of Thursday, September 8th marked the passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. After a period of silence was ordered, postponing events such as Premier League matches until further notice, controversy ensued across other sports.
After some uncertainty about whether the football season would also be cancelled, Arsenal has announced its decision to play on Monday.
