Arteta finished his playing career with the north London club in 2016 before joining Guardiola’s backroom staff at City. The Gunners are on the lookout for a new head coach after Unai Emery was sacked in the aftermath of a 2-1 Europa League defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt that extended their winless run to seven matches. Arteta has become an increasingly influential member of Guardiola’s coaching team, especially since long-time confidant Domenec Torrent left to take charge of MLS side New York City last year, and Raheem Sterling has credited extra sessions with the ex-Everton midfielder for aiding his rapid development....

Rooney struck his 250th United goal on Saturday in Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Stoke, putting him above Sir Bobby Charlton in the club’s all-time goalscoring charts.

When it was reported earlier this week that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was preparing the funds required to pull off a massive coup by signing Wayne Rooney from Manchester United, it was met with skepticism from cynics who dismissed the reports as highly implausible, citing the wage policy followed by the north London club. But Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis has insisted that his club has the financial backup required to sign someone of Rooney’s stature....

It was recently confirmed that the former French International will be representing FC Goa in the Indian Super League which begins on October 12. [Translation: “I always remember what the old boys and coaches used to say when I was young: as long as you can play, keep playing, because you’ll miss it when it’s over. I’m still in good shape so I’m ready for it. Sure, I’ll be earning money, but that’s part and parcel of the world of football....

The Gunners spent in the excess of £100 million on as many as six new recruits, with Gabriel Martinelli, William Saliba, Kieran Tierney, David Luiz, Dani Ceballos and Nicolas Pepe agreeing deals with the club. The Kroenke Sports and Entertainment Group, Arsenal’s owners, have come under scrutiny in recent seasons for their failure to invest large sums in the transfer market but their massive outlay this summer is sure to have caused a change of heart among the fans....

In case you didn’t know… Liverpool and Arsenal are set to lock horns against each other in the Premier League at Anfield, on Saturday. Arsenal have struggled against the Reds in the last few seasons, with their last league win against the Merseyside-based club coming way back in April 2015.

The North Londoners failed to recruit the unsettled Uruguayan last year as the forward actively attempted to engineer away from Merseyside, but Arsenal’s bid was rejected. However, despite Suarez signing a new long term deal, speculation over his future persists, as it may depend on whether The Reds can claim a Champions League place. But Wenger is adamant he will not resurrect his efforts to sign the front man, preferring to focus on Saturday’s clash with Brendan Rodgers’ side, as all three points would give The Gunners’ a huge boost ahead of a gruelling fixture list in February....

The Gunners are in danger of finishing outside the top four for a fourth consecutive season, with the gap already eight points. Emery himself had matters to address when he succeeded Arsene Wenger in May 2018, though it appears he made little headway on that front. Whoever follows in the Spaniard’s footsteps must act with more haste to deal with a growing list of concerns that are holding back a club once seen as perennial Premier League title challengers....

Only Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, with 19, has scored more Premier League goals in 2019-20 than Aubameyang, who netted 22 times last season to become one of the three players to win a golden boot. The striker’s form has led to suggestions Manchester United, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain could try to lure the 30-year-old away from north London once the transfer window opens. Alexis Sanchez, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Robin van Persie are among the leading players to have departed in recent seasons, and Adams fears Aubameyang, whose deal expires next year, could follow suit....

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is ready to reignite his interest in Fiorentina winger Juan Cuadrado in the summer, according to reports in the Metro. The Frenchman failed with a late bid to sign the 25-year-old in January but is ready to tempt the Serie A side with a reported £15 million offer in June.

The striker has grown from strength to strength in Florence this season....

The former Blackburn and Stoke star has long been linked with a return to England, with Emirates Stadium having been mooted as a possible landing spot for some time. Speculation regarding a second stint in the Premier League has resurfaced in the wake of ex-Sevilla boss Unai Emery taking charge of the Gunners. He is said to be plotting a raid on his former employers for a France international, but he has also been informed that there will be no relaxing of a stance which demands any suitors must meet a €40m exit clause if they intend to get a deal done....

Malik Monk, the pride and joy of Lepanto, Ark., and now the SEC’s leading scorer at 21.9 points per game chose Kentucky over the Razorbacks much to the chagrin of a lot of the residents of the Natural State. But while many in his native land might’ve left him as he departed for greener, make that bluer, pastures, on his way to likely becoming a lottery pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, the city he was raised in has never left his heart....

Phillips is rising. In late 1999 the LVMH luxury-goods empire of French magnate Bernard Arnault bought Phillips, making it a major player overnight. In the past, Phillips could boast of a swank Mayfair headquarters and a client list that once included the British royals, but its network of provincial salesrooms sold mainly B-list works culled from the British market. Backed by Arnault’s cash, Phillips jumped into competition with Sotheby’s and Christie’s for big-ticket items, including top-end jewelry, furniture and impressionist paintings....
