The 45-year-old joins after spending 10 years at Dortmund, where he is credited with discovering the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Shinji Kagawa and Ousmane Dembele among others. Top London PL club: Arsenal 15/4 “We are delighted that Sven is joining us," Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger told Arsenal.com. “Identifying and developing talent is a core part of our philosophy and Sven has an outstanding track record over many years. We look forward to him taking our existing recruitment approach forwards....

The centre-back was sent off 15 minutes into the game and the outgoing manager admits that he should never have picked the 20-year-old Greek. Arsenal were already a goal down when he was dismissed, and Claude Puel’s side went on to win 3-1 at the King Power Stadium . The veteran Frenchman has confessed that he will shoulder the blame for Mavropanos’ dismissal. “I don’t think he had recovered,” he said....

In case you didn’t know… Ozil was notably absent from the 18-man squad named for Arsenal’s UEL match against Standard Liege, a game that eventually saw the North London giants register a comfortable 4-0 win over their Belgian opponents. New signing Gabriel Martinelli was on target twice, along with Joe Willock and Dani Ceballos, who also found the net to ensure a comprehensive victory for the Gunners. Ozil, who is the club’s top earner, has endured a strained relationship with Emery since the latter replaced Arsene Wenger....

Arsenal headed into the game having beaten just Hull City and lower league sides Sutton United and Lincoln City since the end of January, against a backdrop of fan unrest over the side’s form and the unresolved issue of Wenger’s future. The players’ character has been questioned in recent weeks, notably after one-sided defeats by Bayern Munich, and their nerves were evident early on as Leroy Sane capitalised on Arsenal’s disorganised defensive unit to fire City ahead in the fifth minute....

Much to the delight of many fans, Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang started the game together. Both strikers missed great chances to put the Gunners in front in the first half of the game. As time went by and as more players received their bookings, Arsenal’s play was disrupted until the half-time break. Emery then decided to pull Lacazette and Lichtsteiner out in order to accommodate his playmakers, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alex Iwobi....

Torreira completed his £26million move from Sampdoria to Emirates Stadium on Tuesday, after featuring heavily in Uruguay’s run to the World Cup quarter-finals. Speaking to Arsenal media, Torreira said: ‘‘I try to look up to the best players and steal something from all of them. ‘‘It is true that I really like Verratti.

Sanchez’s contract with Arsenal is due to expire in June 2018 and talks over a new deal were put on hold until the end of the season after both parties failed to reach an agreement over a renewal. Chelsea are believed to be keeping a close eye on the attacker’s situation, but Campbell remains hopeful he will stay at Emirates Stadium. “The club should do their upmost to keep Sanchez,” the former Arsenal defender told Omnisport....

Talking on The Kelly & Wrighty Show, the former Arsenal man said: Van de Beek is the only player that Manchester United have signed so far this summer, and the fans are incredibly unhappy with it. Wright also echoed the thoughts of the Red Devils faithful, stating that while the Dutchman is a good signing, he is not what the Old Trafford giants need right now. Arsenal are chasing Thomas Partey and Houssem Aouar this summer but are yet to make a breakthrough in negotiations....

An iconic figure in his native Armenia, the 29-year-old is giving a loyal fan base the opportunity to buy into his world. A large number of sportsmen and women have chosen to head down a fashion path when branching out from their chosen profession. Clothing lines and fragrances have proved popular, while the likes of Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo have even moved into films and cartoons. Mkhitaryan has opted to head in a slightly different direction with his latest venture....

The France international has spent the last five years at Emirates Stadium with Arsene Wenger, who has come under pressure in recent months due to a poor run of results. His fellow countryman is not regarded as being the most demanding of bosses, with the Gunners squad given a freedom to express themselves. ‘Wenger too arrogant for his own good’ Wenger has been known to lose his temper at times, but his touchline antics can be considered tame when compared to a number of his Premier League rivals....

However, in addition to an assortment of fantasy and miscellaneous projects, there is one other genre that FromSoftware specialized in. Shortly after its start as a game developer, FromSoftware started work on Armored Core, a mecha action series that consistently released games from 1997 to 2013, only skipping 1998 and 2011. Without a doubt, these mech-piloting simulators are a core part of the developer that only fell by the wayside after Dark Souls proved more popular....

Three weeks ago pitch invasions and board protests brought ugly scenes to the London Stadium as Burnley cruised to victory. It was a very different atmosphere on Saturday, though, as three first-half goals lifted the pressure on David Moyes’ side, while also easing frustrations in the stands. Arnautovic – who struck twice after Joao Mario’s opener – was the star man for the hosts, and he believes victory over the Saints could be a turning point in their battle to avoid relegation....

Sanllehi, director of football at Barca and credited with bringing Neymar to the club, will relocate to the Emirates Stadium in February to take up his new role. In a statement released on Tuesday, Arsenal said Sanllehi will “lead future player negotiations and work alongside manager Arsene Wenger, chief executive Ivan Gazidis and contract negotiator Huss Fahmy. “He will also represent and support the club with international and domestic governing bodies....

Enrique: “Deze uitschakeling doet pijn” Perisic’s persoonlijke ambitie is om voor een topclub in de Premier League te spelen en diverse bronnen hebben gezegd dat het “bijna zeker” is dat hij volged seizoen in Engeland zal spelen. Arsenal zou deze zomer Alexis Sánchez kwijt kunnen raken, waarbij Manchester City, Chelsea en Paris Saint-Germain het meest geïnteresseerd zijn in de Chileen, maar The Gunners proberen hun sterspeler nog te overtuigen om te blijven voordat ze op zoek gaan naar vervangers....

According to Defensa Central, Arsenal have been told they must pay €60m (£51.6m) should they wish to sign Martin Odegaard from Real Madrid this summer. Arsenal want to bring Martin Odegaard to London permanently There is no denying that €60m is a hefty fee but it’s hard to argue against paying this price when you consider the sheer quality which Martin Odegaard possesses. In some games this season, the Norwegian international has looked untouchable and he’s really helped the Gunners make progress in games in which they would have lost otherwise....

Since then, the 33-year-old goalkeeper has made a number of fine and crucial saves to deny opponents time and again. John Terry had said he would save the Gunners ‘12 to 15 points’ in a season. He has certainly done that over the last 22 games and leads the league with 10 clean sheets (tied with Joe Hart of Manchester City). After winning four Premier League titles with the Blues, he is now looking to win his first with the north London side....

These figures suggest that Wenger had enough money to buy a good player in January but he decided not to buy. Schalke’s Julian Draxler was heavily linked with the gunners in January but reportedly, Schalke refused to part ways with the German wonderkid. Arsenal chairman Sir Chips Keswick believes Arsenal can do well in all departments (including transfers). He said, Arsenal’s finances will get only better as they have secured a mega-deal with PUMA....

Wenger’s men started with four at the back for the first time this season on Thursday night in front of a below-capacity Emirates Stadium. While the official tickets sold numbers were 54,648, it became more apparent that just under 30,000 were inside the north Londoners stadium to watch what turned out to be Arsenal’s most consummate and easiest victory of the season so far. Arsenal’s squad have certainly benefitted from fielding their fringe players in the Europa League with the likes of Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud all getting game time under their belt....
