From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad28 Feb 2028

Bukayo Saka is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.61 with 20 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Match28 Feb 2028

Arsenal are in among the leaders

Position 3 and 57 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Match26 Feb 2028

Whatever happens, Arsenal do not lose

9 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad28 Feb 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.

Squad28 Feb 2028

Real improvement from Khari Ranson at Arsenal

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Khari Ranson is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Player ratings28 Feb 2028

Ninety minutes of Jérémy Doku at his very best

Marked 8.83. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Arsenal.

Match26 Feb 2028

Jérémy Doku the difference as Arsenal beat Brighton

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Jérémy Doku. 2‑0 against Brighton, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings28 Feb 2028

A masterclass from Bukayo Saka

Marked 8.41 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad28 Feb 2028

Benjamin Edwards out for 26 days

The medical room confirms 26 days on the sidelines for Benjamin Edwards, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

From our football correspondent Steady

Market19 Jul 2027

Arsenal turn down Southampton for Kepa Arrizabalaga

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

Squad19 Jul 2027

Vinícius Júnior 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.

One of our own: Benjamin Edwards joins the Arsenal first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Benjamin Edwards is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market19 Jul 2027

Arsenal promote Samuel Butler from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Samuel Butler has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market19 Jul 2027

Arsenal promote Henry King from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Henry King has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Loan watch19 Jul 2027

Tommy Setford wants to come home

“I did not go to Peterborough United to sit and watch. I want to come back to Arsenal and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 5 matches say the rest.

The dugout19 Jul 2027

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.

Squad19 Jul 2027

Ethan Nwaneri has seen what the next man earns

Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room and never have. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and at Arsenal that is a harder question to answer.

Squad19 Jul 2027

Lessons booked for Ismeal Kabia at Arsenal

Nobody writes a headline about a tutor. Nobody has to be told, either, what happens to a signing who spends two years being the man nobody can talk to at lunch.
