A winner's medal for Benjamin White

The club had no hand in it and the town will claim it anyway, which is exactly as it should be. 11 caps now, a summer that will define how his name is said for the rest of his career, and a manager quietly wondering what it does to a man's appetite for a wet Tuesday.

Market10 Jul 2028

Arsenal sign Vladislav Torop with one eye on the future

Nobody at the club will say out loud who this signing is for, which is how you know exactly who it is for. Vladislav Torop has been brought in to take a shirt somebody is still wearing.

Squad10 Jul 2028

A move Vladislav Torop would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Vladislav Torop is living that version at Arsenal, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad10 Jul 2028

Bukayo Saka in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Arsenal this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market10 Jul 2028

Arsenal turn down Crawley Town for Charles Sagoe Jr

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad10 Jul 2028

William Saliba falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Arsenal plan ahead with Jacopo Seghetti from Empoli

The most awkward business a club does is signing tomorrow's answer while today's is still in the building. Jacopo Seghetti comes from Empoli for exactly that purpose, and the handover will not be discussed publicly by anybody.

Squad3 Jul 2028

Jacopo Seghetti gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Jacopo Seghetti has just signed for Arsenal, and for once the answer mattered.

Market3 Jul 2028

Arsenal say no — this time

The offer from Charlton Athletic for Fábio Vieira was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad3 Jul 2028

Tempers go at Arsenal

Bukayo Saka was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad3 Jul 2028

Piero Hincapié stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Piero Hincapié and Arsenal agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market3 Jul 2028

Bromley join the queue for Daniel Bell

Add another name to the list: Bromley have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Daniel Bell. The answer from Arsenal has not changed — yet.

Boardroom3 Jul 2028

$38.1M on the table at Arsenal

The board have answered with money instead of encouragement, which is the only answer a manager ever wants. Spending it well is now entirely his problem.

Market3 Jul 2028

The Christos Tzolis conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Charlton Athletic will make the call about Christos Tzolis this week. Arsenal have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Squad3 Jul 2028

When it matters, Declan Rice plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Nobody could get near Reiss Nelson

Successful dribbles: 51. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Reza Azmoun asks to leave Arsenal

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Tempers go at Arsenal

Bukayo Saka was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market13 Mar 2028

Benjamin White wants more than Arsenal are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad13 Mar 2028

Words at Arsenal training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. William Saliba is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match11 Mar 2028

Still nobody has beaten Arsenal

The unbeaten run reaches 6. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad13 Mar 2028

No place for Martín Zubimendi on the big day

He found out with everybody else, an hour before kick-off, from a sheet of paper on a wall. Nobody at Arsenal pretended it was anything other than a decision about him.

Squad13 Mar 2028

Daniel Bell signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Daniel Bell and Arsenal agree another 4 years.

Player ratings13 Mar 2028

Benjamin White was the difference for Arsenal

Marked 7.46. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Squad5 Jul 2027

Daniel Bell is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 17 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad5 Jul 2027

Home is on Reza Azmoun's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Arsenal are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Market5 Jul 2027

A season away well spent by Ethan Nwaneri

26 games, 4 goals, and a squad option that has arrived without a fee attached. The interesting question at Arsenal now is not whether he plays but who he displaces.
