Squad10 Jul 2028

William Saliba comes home a champion

A Arsenal player has won an international tournament, and there is no version of that sentence a club page can print without a certain amount of borrowed glory. He goes back into training in a fortnight with 50 caps and a medal nobody here had anything to do with.

Transfer targets10 Jul 2028

Door shut on Rodrygo

Arsenal asked and Real Madrid said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad10 Jul 2028

A final lost, and David Raya comes home

13 caps, a month of football, and a medal that will never leave a drawer. He is due back at Arsenal in a fortnight and nobody will mention it, which is its own way of mentioning it.

Transfer targets10 Jul 2028

Arsenal bid $39.8M for Carlos Baleba

The offer went to Manchester United this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Market10 Jul 2028

Arsenal turn down Liverpool for Viktor Gyökeres

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

Market10 Jul 2028

Terms done: Kepa Arrizabalaga is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Liverpool waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Arsenal is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Market10 Jul 2028

Seb Ferdinand 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.

Market10 Jul 2028

David Raya 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.

Boardroom10 Jul 2028

Arsenal go back to the board over Carlos Baleba

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $46.8M — a club that wants Carlos Baleba enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets24 Jan 2028

No deal for Micky van de Ven at that price

Arsenal offered $77.0M; Betis said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Market24 Jan 2028

Not going: Declan Rice stays at Arsenal

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Real Madrid had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Transfer targets24 Jan 2028

Arsenal rebuffed over Kevin

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Fulham have kept their man, and Arsenal go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match19 Jan 2028

The small margins put Arsenal out

Out, 1‑1 to Derby County, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Market24 Jan 2028

Arsenal turn down Manchester United for Viktor Gyökeres

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

Match24 Jan 2028

Nobody above Arsenal

First, on 53 points. The table is a fact and a fact is allowed to be enjoyed, which is as far as anybody at the club is prepared to go in public.

Squad24 Jan 2028

Gerónimo Rulli decides it from twelve yards

1 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Market24 Jan 2028

Ezri Konsa 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.

Market24 Jan 2028

Eyes on Gabriel Martinelli again

The phone has started ringing about Gabriel Martinelli again, and this time the name on the line is Real Madrid. Arsenal are listening politely and promising nothing.

Door shut on Ryan Gravenberch

Arsenal asked and Liverpool said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market6 Sep 2027

Arsenal turn down Manchester United for Kai Havertz

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

The dugout6 Sep 2027

Christos Tzolis: 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.

Market6 Sep 2027

Bukayo Saka 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.

Boardroom6 Sep 2027

Deadline passes with 12 signed and 16 gone

That is the business done at Arsenal until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Boardroom6 Sep 2027

Arsenal go back to the board over Mao Hosoya

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $30.1M — a club that wants Mao Hosoya enough to be asked twice.

Loan watch6 Sep 2027

Khari Ranson wants to come home

“I did not go to Doncaster Rovers to sit and watch. I want to come back to Arsenal and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 12 matches say the rest.

Squad6 Sep 2027

Words exchanged at Arsenal

Cristhian Mosquera and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad6 Sep 2027

John Ross signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” John Ross and Arsenal agree another 3 years.
