Arsenal are making what sources have told @TEAMtalk as ‘significant progress’ in their efforts to secure the long-term future of Jurrien Timber, with the defender closing in on a bumper new contract. teamtalk.com/arsenal/jurrien…

Ben White sale talk is too easy while he is injured. His link with Saka still gives Arsenal something Timber does not. Selling him now would be poor timing.

🚨💣 BREAKING: Arsenal have withdrawn from the race to sign sign Sandro Tonali from NUFC due to high financial demands involved. 💰❌ The Italian has now agreed Personal terms with Tottenham last night and is now on the verge of joining Tottenham. Imagine not even trying harder to join Arsenal, we dodged a bullet on this one gunners

Bukayo on Cucurela to Real: He is the toughest defender l have ever face in my career, Cucu play more physical game especially when he knows you are a winger with top notch high IQ. So it hasn't been so easy between the two of us.Cucu can't allow you to dribble past him for the third time unless your chemistry is top. We both enjoyed playing against each other because he knew l won't give him easy work and the other hand l knew how tough he is and his personalities . l think Cucu was more prepared when he knew he was to play against me. He is my friend and my guy, we could do all manner of staff at the pitch but after that game we could laugh at each other. I think Cucu going to Real Madrid is a good choice, he is a high competitive player and if he has decide to try another chapter it's good and l wish him well in his new Club yeah."

Arsenal is advancing contract talks with Mikel Arteta which will substantially increase his salary, making him one of the highest-paid managers in world football. The proposed package will approach the level of Pep Guardiola at Man City, reaching an estimated £20 million per year, which breaks down to £384,000 a week. (@GraemeBailey)

🚨BREAKING @Gazzetta_it (in Georgia): Arsenal are in negotiations to sign 17-year-old Georgian super talent Andria Bartishvili! 👀🇬🇪✨ The Gunners hold strong interest in the young attacker & talks between the parties are underway. 🗣️✔️ There are currently two European giants that want to to sign Bartishvili: Arsenal and Juventus. 🌍 Both clubs are holding talks with the player's representatives. Bartishvili is currently on loan at FC Iberia and is a member of the Georgian U19 and U21 national teams. #AFC

Most goals and assists by all players in world football across the 2025/26 season… Harry Kane and Michael Olise were the only players in the world to contribute to more goals than Christos Tzolis last campaign. Arsenal are trying to sign a superstar. 💫

Super glad that we haven’t pursued a Tonali deal given the finances involved. Top player but we can do better.

🚨| 🔥💣 Arsenal just sorted David Raya's future in the background while everyone else was focused on strikers and wingers. His contract runs until June 2028 signed permanently from Brentford in summer 2024 on a four-year deal. There's also a one-year club option sitting quietly on top of that, which could extend it all the way to 2029 if triggered. And the part that flew completely under the radar? A pay rise was agreed and finalised last summer bumping him above the reported £100k per week he was previously on. Arsenal made no announcement. No fanfare. Just done. 🔸 Two years remaining as of June 2026. 🔸 Club option to extend to 2029. 🔸 Improved salary already agreed quietly. 🔸 19 clean sheets this season the most by any goalkeeper in the Premier League. 🔸 All parties completely relaxed about his long term future. The best goalkeeper in England. Sorted. No fuss. That's how Arsenal operate now. 🔴⚪🏆

It's all worked out well for #Arsenal and William Saliba, but six years ago it seemed unlikely he'd make it in north London. The Frenchman was "very low" and convinced he had no future under Mikel Arteta. In today's L'Equipe, Saliba describes 2020 as "the worst year of my life". Saliba tragically lost his mother, the most important person in his world, was angered by Arsenal's refusal to let him play for St Etienne in the French Cup final, then - after one poor performance in pre-season - found himself frozen out for five months by Arteta. "I was in a bad way," he says. "I was never in the squad. I wasn't even on the list for the Europa League. They'd paid €30m for me yet I was playing for the U23s. My spirits were very low because I knew that even if I trained well I wouldn't play. With the loss of my mother, nothing was going right, everything was hard." Saliba didn't tell Arteta about his mother because he didn't want to be "picked out of pity". Loan spells at Nice and Marseille helped him rebuild. "It allowed me to reset, both in a football and an emotional sense." Arteta has done many great things at Arsenal, but the idea that Saliba's early years in north London were all part of a carefully managed development plan doesn't stand up to scrutiny. He was cut from Arsenal's plans. When Saliba was at Marseille, he was convinced he'd never play for Arsenal under Arteta. But he is an extremely tough character, and when Tomiyasu was ruled out of Arsenal's 2022/23 opener against Crystal Palace, Arteta had little choice but to hand Saliba his debut. The young centre-back turned in a masterclass and has been undroppable since. "William was so solid mentally because, quite honestly, (in 2020) it was difficult to imagine that one day he might make it (at Arsenal)," says Saliba's first coach and mentor Fabio Frasconi. "95% of players who went through what he did would have given up."

Cape Verde’s Goalkeeper, Vozinha, who helped keep a clean sheet against Spain, is an Arsenal fan. ❤️ 🇨🇻 🎥 @MenInBlazers

🚨🇬🇷 Essentially, @gunnerblog and me are saying the same thing! 🤝 Arsenal want Christos Tzolis, the contacts are there, the process is advanced, and for those asking why things are taking time, it all comes down to player departures. 👀 To understand where things stand right now: if either Trossard or Martinelli left today, Tzolis would INSTANTLY become an Arsenal player. 🔴⚪️✍️ #AFC #Arsenal #COYG #Tzolis #ArsenalTransfers #TransferNews #PremierLeague

🚨Arsenal are interested in signing Elijah Upson — son of former Arsenal and England centre-back Matthew. The 18-year-old defender is currently with rivals Tottenham, but is set to leave upon the expiry of his contract on June 30. @gunnerblog (HOA on the money again )

🚨🇬🇷 BREAKING: Arsenal have reportedly reached an agreement with Club Brugge to sign Christos Tzolis! 🔴⚪️ The 24-year-old left winger has accepted the move, with Andrea Berta playing a key role in getting the deal over the line. Personal terms were never an issue, as the Greece international was fully committed to joining the Gunners. ✍️ All parties have agreed terms 📄 Final paperwork to be completed this week ✈️ Tzolis expected to travel to the Emirates once the deal is formally sealed Capable of playing on the left and centrally, Tzolis adds creativity, directness and goals to Mikel Arteta's attack. And the business may not stop there, with a deal for Morgan Rogers also reportedly edging closer. 👀 If confirmed, Arsenal will have moved quickly and decisively once again under Andrea Berta. A smart addition for the present and the future. **❤️🏆 #AFC

🚨👀 Real Madrid have reportedly made enquiries over a potential move for Declan Rice and have communicated huge financial figures to gauge the possibility of a deal. Nothing is official at this stage, but Rice has been informed by his representatives of Madrid’s interest. However, the England international has made his position clear. ❤️ He is happy at Arsenal. ⛔ He has no desire to pursue a move elsewhere. Despite interest from one of the biggest clubs in world football, Rice remains fully committed to Mikel Arteta’s project and sees his future in North London. Sometimes the biggest statement isn’t signing a player. It’s keeping one. Declan Rice chose Arsenal. 🔴⚪️🏆 #AFC

🚨 Mikel Arteta is currently “on holiday,” but reports suggest he remains closely involved in Arsenal’s transfer planning behind the scenes. There are even claims of interest from abroad and discussions around a new long-term contract, with the club keen to secure his future for at least another three years. For now though, nothing is confirmed, but Arsenal clearly see him as central to their long-term project. ❤️🤍[@HandofArsenal] #afc
