Arsenal are ready to make a shock move for out-of-favour Chelsea forward Salomon Kalou , according talkSPORT. The 26-year-old Ivorian is out of contract at the end of the season and, with Andre Villas-Boas ’ blessing, is ready to speak to interested clubs. Kalou has only managed to start four games for Chelsea this season under [...]

Arsenal have been told that they will have to fork out £16.6 million for Yann M’Vila, according to the player’s agent. The French midfield enforcer has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal over the past several months and now his agent, Marc Formeaux, who also represents long-term Arsenal target Eden Hazard, has told interested [...]

I think it’s fair to say that Arsenal lost against Man City on Sunday due to the lack of firepower we currently possess. To restrict a team that’s been scoring almost three goals a game to just one but failing to find the net ourselves is very disappointing to say the very least. However, it provides [...]

The 30-year-old winger signed for Arsenal in January 2009 after impressing for his country during Euro 2008 and then club Zenit. However, after one bright season for Arsenal, Arshavin has failed to secure a first-team spot due to his lacklustre performances, leaving Graham to believe that the former Zenit playmakers heart is not at the Emirates [...]

With Arsenal ’s midfield looking very thin at present, Arsene Wenger is set to reinforce this area in the upcoming January transfer window and the player who is being heavily linked with a move to the Emirates this winter is Italian international Riccardo Montolivo . The Fiorentina playermaker has just one year remaining on his current [...]

We are 10 weeks, yes 10 weeks away from the transfer window re-opening, yet rumours are coming in thick and fast, especially at the Emirates. The latest one involves the Gunners, Juventus and 26-year-old Milos Krasic . According to Italian publication, Corriere dello Sport, Arsenal have joined Manchester City – no surprise to see them in [...]

More news on transfers, as rumours are beginning to surface that Arsenal and Liverpool will go head-to-head in a battle to sign Chelsea’s Salomon Kalou in a cut-price deal when the winter window opens. The 26-year-old Ivory Coast forward is in the final year of his contract and looks increasingly unlikely to extend his stay at [...]

Before I start I should point out that I realise that this article will be met with derision by a whole host of supporters. Top class numptys will bang on about ‘you win some, you lose some’ and ‘you make your own luck’ and other such banal comments. Well, if you disagree with me that’s fine, [...]

Last month it was reported that Arsene Wenger sent scouts to Italy in order to run the rule over Padova’s attacking midfield sensation Ousmane Drame . Well, new reports now suggest that the Gunners are in fact edging closer to signing the 19-year-old Serie B star after the player’s agent recently revealed that talks between the [...]

Another awful result to add to the Arsenal ’s terrible start to the season. After looking to have turned the corner and racking up some very good results, despite an almost unconvincing win against Olympiacos in the Champions League, The Gunners had appeared to look back to their best. Three points is three no matter how [...]

Depressing and sadly predictable at the moment that the press seem to wish to focus on Robin van Persie ’s obvious comments with regard to a new contract, rather than to applaud his on the pitch record breaking achievements in the past 12 months, culminating in him joining an elite group of Arsenal centurions on Saturday. [...]

FC Lorient manager Christian Gourcuff believes the philosophy used at the Ligue 1 side has helped them secure loan deals from Arsenal because the loanees are able to experience the same style of football. Lorient have taken the likes of Francis Coquelin, Gilles Sunu and Joel Campbell on short-term deals in recent seasons. But Gourcuff claims [...]

The man earmarked by Arsene Wenger to succeed him at Arsenal, Dragan Stojkovic, believes the north London club need to acquire a ‘real striker’. Stojkovic played under Wenger in the mid 90’s at Nagoya Grampus and has since maintained a healthy relationship with the Frenchman. In 2008, Stojkovic, who is regarded as one of the greatest [...]

In the debacle that we witnessed at Blackburn, Arsenal were robbed. If that ‘tackle’ by Paul Robinson on Theo Walcott had happened anywhere else on the pitch, it’s a free kick. But why not a penalty? Because he had his hands down? Do me a favour. Officials have conspired to consign Arsenal to their third defeat [...]

So the cupboard is stocked with shiny new players. We did some early shopping, and we also dashed out at the last minute and replaced everything that had run out. The shops don’t open again until January so short of a massive crisis, what we’ve got is what’s got to last us. So, how are we [...]

According to sources in France, Lille have slapped a £26 million price tag on Arsenal target Eden Hazard – great news! The 20-year-old winger has been on Arsene Wenger ’s radar for quite some time now and having lost Cesc Fabregas to Barcelona a few days ago and Samir Nasri looking increasingly likely to depart for [...]

News broke yesterday that the highly-rated Costa Rican starlet Joel Campbell , who was set to complete his transfer to Arsenal following a medical, has pulled out of the transfer albeit temporarily. There are rumours that the deal has been hijacked by one of the Manchester clubs. Both of them have been mentioned as having placed [...]
