Arsenal fans mock PSV over pre-match Gabriel Jesus tweet as three injured stars return

UEFA, Premier League
PSV Eindhoven have started to up the ante ahead of Thursday’s Europa League game with Arsenal, with a pre-match tweet prompting a backlash from Gunners fans. The two teams finally go head-to-head at the Emirates in a game that had to be postponed after the death of Queen Elizabeth II at the start of last month. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Arsenal had originally been scheduled to play Manchester City this week – with nine other Premier League games taking place across Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday – but that match will now be played at a later date in order to allow the London side to fulfil their European commitments. Thursday’s face-off is the start of a decisive double header which is likely to determine who wins Group A – and thus avoids fac...
Gallas claims Martinelli is overrated & ‘not good enough for Real Madrid yet’

Gallas claims Martinelli is overrated & ‘not good enough for Real Madrid yet’

Premier League
William Gallas says Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli still has a long way to go to become the finished article and does not believe he is good enough to be attracting interest from Real Madrid yet. The Brazilian has started the campaign in excellent form, terrorising opposition defences and scoring four goals – as well as providing two assists – in his 10 Premier League games. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); His displays have seen him linked with some clubs including rival members of the Premier League’s big six and even Real Madrid, with Arsenal keen to offer him a new contract to ward off suitors. But Gallas does not feel Martinelli is ready to make the step up to a club of Real Madrid’s size yet and suggested fans might be overhyping the player, ur...

Gabriel Martinelli shocks Arsenal by demanding triple his wages

Premier League
Arsenal attacker Gabriel Martinelli is ‘not even close’ to signing a new contract to stay at the Emirates after issuing his demands to the club.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Martinelli joined the club in a £7m deal in 2019 but he’s now a first team regular and has attracted interest from around the Premier League, most notably from fellow London side Chelsea.

Premier League
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has addressed footage of him that went viral in which he blasted his old Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and says he wishes everyone at his former club well. The Gabon striker left the Emirates in February of this year after Arsenal agreed to terminate his contract, allowing him to join Barca on a free transfer after the January transfer window had closed. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Arteta was desperate to sell Aubameyang having stripped him of the captaincy and forced him to train with the youth team after several disciplinary issues, the last of which saw him return late from a trip to Paris. The 33-year-old only spent six months at Camp Nou before returning to England with Chelsea this summer, though enjoyed a prolific ...
