Market

Matías Lucero hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Arsenal can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout

Julián Lobelos: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Arsenal have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

A falling-out at Arsenal

Valentín Serrano and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The terraces

Arsenal supporters have found a favourite in Valentín Serrano

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Valentín Serrano has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

Joaquín Ochoa Giménez sends Arsenal past Güemes

It finished 1‑0, and it was Joaquín Ochoa Giménez’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Arsenal.

Player ratings

Joaquín Ochoa Giménez stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.83 on the card, and the Arsenal support went home talking about one name.

Squad

Words at Arsenal training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Thiago Schiavulli 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.

Squad

Liam Giménez signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Liam Giménez commits to Arsenal for another 3 years.

The dugout

A satisfied Ricardo Costa

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 1‑0, Ricardo Costa could afford to be generous.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Agustín Herrera

125 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Arsenal lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

The dugout

Julián Vila keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Arsenal may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

A falling-out at Arsenal

Damián Pérez and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Words at Arsenal training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lautaro Guzmán 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.

Market

One of our own: Liam Giménez joins the Arsenal first team

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

The dugout

Joaquín Ochoa Giménez asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

In brief
