While Arsenal may be down, they’re not out yet. Here’s a look at a few reasons why the Gunners could be a surprise package for the 2021-22 Premier League season: Good transfer business Ever since Arsene Wenger left, Arsenal have been inconsistent at bringing in the right players, making purchases based on reputation rather than team necessity. Nicholas Pepe is a good example; he had all the talent but was not suited to Unai Emery’s style of football....

David Ornstein from The Athletic reported that both Arsenal forwards are unwell and will not feature for the Gunners later today. According to Goal, Aubameyang was absent from Arsenal’s training session ahead of their game against Brentford. This makes things difficult for manager Mikel Arteta. With both Lacazette and Aubameyang out, Arsenal will have to rely on the likes of Gabriel Martinelli and Nicolas Pepe for goals. Arsenal could also see teenage wonderkid Bukayo Saka return to the starting XI....

The Gunners added the Brazil international to their ranks after agreeing on a transfer fee of £45 million with Manchester City. Jesus has scored five times and laid out seven assists in 20 games across competitions for his new club. The output of a goal every four games isn’t the most impressive, and while Jesus’ importance exceeds just goals and assists, an alternative could be useful. Abraham, in that regard, could be a smart signing....

Henry, who served as former coach Roberto Martinez’s assistant during Euro 2020 and the 2022 FIFA World Cup, is ready to step into the Spaniard’s shoes. Henry also has the backing of several senior members of Belgium’s side. Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku recently came out in support of Henry, telling Het Laatste Nieuws: Toby Alderweireld backs Thierry Henry for Belgium coach According to Royal Antwerp defender Toby Alderweireld, Henry is the perfect profile for Belgium’s head manager, the centre-back told Het Laatste Nieuws:...

It was reported early on Tuesday that Italian Football Federation commissioner Roberto Fabbricini, along with vice-commissioner Costacurta, spoke with Ancelotti at a Rome hotel. The former Real Madrid and Bayern Munich boss has been linked with replacing Arsene Wenger at Arsenal as well as taking over the Italy national team, who have been led by interim coach Luigi Di Biagio since February. Costacurta says they did speak with Ancelotti but claims it was purely coincidence that they were in the same hotel at the same time....

The Czech smashed home a superb strike, after good work from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, in just the second minute to seal victory and pour more misery on Tim Sherwood's men. It represented a worst-case scenario for a Spurs team which came into the game on the back of moral-sapping defeats to Chelsea and Benfica, along with a pre-match fan protest against chairman Daniel Levy. The superb Oxlade-Chamberlain and Lukas Podolski passed up chances to increase Tottenham's misery and, although the home side enjoyed the better of a frantic second period, Spurs could find no way through....

Arsenal’s inconsistent performances in the second half of the season led them to a second-placed finish last campaign and the same problem affected them this season, with 10 wins in their last l8 league fixtures dropping them to fifth position. Sanchez, who is the club’s leading scorer with 23 goals and 10 assists this season, said that his team could perform better. “Sometimes when I look at the team we have and the players here… when it comes to winning the Premier League we often lose or draw against teams at home when we are superior,” Sanchez told British media....

Many doubted whether Arsenal had the strength and resilience of Manchester City and Chelsea in their ranks. “We won’t be bullied,” Arsene Wenger said, his defiant message echoed by Aaron Ramsey, but for 83 minutes, they had been. “Many teams think that [Arsenal can be bullied]. We get that question many times,” Wenger said. “But if you look at the results from the last three or four years away from home, we are the team with the best away results....

John Fitzgerald Johnson, also known as The Real Grandmaster Jay, leader of the Not F***ing Around Coalition (NFAC), posted videos online to announce the group are planning to be in Louisville next month.

The Midshipmen were ranked 23rd in the final College Football Playoff ranking last week and arrive into the game as a 10.5-point favorite, after going 9-2 this season and finishing second in the American West division of the AAC. Navy will play Kansas State in the Liberty Bowl on December 31 and could end the season with their best record since 2015 with a win on Saturday. As far as Army is concerned, meanwhile, another win over the Midshipmen would give them a four-game winning streak for the first time in over two decades—the Black Knights won four in a row between 1993 and 1996....

Adams said, “This individual should not be out on the streets of New York and his release shows the scope of changes that we need to make in order to keep New Yorkers safe. It is the result of a failed mental health system, a failed housing and support system, and failing criminal justice laws that allow someone with a history of violence who poses a clear threat to public safety to just walk out of court....

The 21-year-old attacker has scored nine goals and added six assists this season for the Ligue 1 outfit, surpassing his previous highs in the French top division. Malcom has previously stated that he desired a move away from the club this past January, but later confirmed he would be allowed to depart Bordeaux in the summer. And now Nicolas de Tavernost, chairman of M6 which is the majority shareholder of the club, admitted at a shareholder’s general meeting the club’s losses in the first half of the year stemmed from not selling a player they are likely to sell in the second half....

Arsene Wenger didn’t make any change from their start against West Ham last weekend with Alex Iwobi and Mohamed Elneny preferred over Theo Walcott and a fit-again Aaron Ramsey. In defence, Per Mertesacker was once again amongst those on the bench as Gabriel continued his partnership with Frenchman Laurent Koscielny. Having drawn 3-3 with London rivals West Ham, Arsenal needed to get three points in this game to separate them from the fight for fourth but once again, it looks like Wenger’s men will fight for their coveted spot on the table with Leicester City, Tottenham and Manchester City ahead of them in the table....

The Gunners picked up a convincing 5-0 victory at home to Burnley on Sunday evening, marking manager Arsene Wenger’s final home game in charge of the club after 22 years of service. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang opened the scoring for Arsenal before concluding the scoring late in the game, with goals from Alexandre Lacazette, Sead Kolasinac and Alex Iwobi in between. The result nudged the Gunners six points ahead of Burnley, who sit directly beneath them in the Premier League table with just one set of full fixtures remaining....

In case you didn’t know Aubameyang finished the 2018-19 campaign as the Gunners’ leading goalscorer, having netted 31 goals for the club in all competitions. 22 of those goals came in the English top flight and helped him win the Premier League Golden Boot alongside Liverpool attacking duo Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah. While Liverpool put up an intense battle for the English title, Arsenal missed out on a top-four finish in the league to London rivals Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur....

More to the point, each keeper—Szcz?sny, Fabia?ski, and Mannone—spent his formative years at Arsenal and owes his development in no small part to the time they’ve spent here. Mannone joined the club in 2005 age 18), Fabia?ski in 2007 (age 22), Szcz?sny in 2006 (age 16). It’s no mystery why the first two have looked for chances elsewhere as Szcz?sny has emerged as the club’s number-one, on his way towards becoming one of the best in England....
