Liverpool are against a proposed Christmas Eve meeting with Arsenal, given the impact it would have on supporters.

Arsène Wenger understands why Alexander Hleb left Arsenal for Barcelona in 2008, but believes the move harmed his career.

Real Madrid can beat Barcelona to the signing of Mesut Özil, with the playmaker reportedly having a clause that will see the former receive financial compensation if the Catalans make an approach.

Arsenal’s financial results for the last full year have been leaked on social media, showing the Gunners increasing their football turnover to £422.8m.

Arsène Wenger says he doesn’t expect to have any issues with racism when his side face BATE Borisov on Thursday night, and is hoping such an occurence doesn’t happen.

Arsenal have asked Manchester United to keep them informed about any updates on Anthony Martial’s future, according to latest reports.

Arsenal have been training ahead of their meeting with BATE Borisov on Thursday, and Arsène Wenger was kept busy setting up the sessions for the squad.

Arsenal look to be taking a young squad to Belarus for Thursday’s Europa League meeting with BATE Borisov.

Alex Iwobi is reportedly out injured again, ahead of Arsenal’s match against BATE Borisov and Nigeria’s World Cup qualifiers next week.

Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid are reportedly after young Borussia Dortmund midfielder Christian Pulisic.

The media have predictably found a new way to link Arsenal to Karim Benzema, despite the French striker signing a new contract with Real Madrid last week.

Arsène Wenger is reportedly looking at Napoli forward Dries Mertens as a replacement for Alexis Sanchez, should the Chilean leave in January.

Nigel Winterburn believes Arsenal’s club record signing Alexandre Lacazette is more like Ian Wright rather than Thierry Henry, as many previously suggested.

Nacho Monreal’s good form with Arsenal at the moment is summed up by the fact he’s made more clearances, interceptions and tackles than anyone else this season.

Arsenal have reportedly sent scouts to watch Schalke midfielder Leon Goretzka, as the German international moves into the final year of his contract with the Bundesliga club.

Alexandre Lacazette says he’s not worried about the record he’s broken for the Gunners. He says he’s more pleased that Arsenal have performed so well since the end of August.

Santi Cazorla’s long spell on the sidelines isn’t just because of an Achilles issue, according to reports.

Arsenal legend Martin Keown thinks that Arsène Wenger can no longer trust playmaker Mesut Özil, and claims that’s why he was left out of Monday’s Premier League clash with West Bromwich Albion.

Granit Xhaka has praised Alexandre Lacazette for his performances and his goals at the Emirates so far, but says the Frenchman just has to do the same away from home.

Arsenal should start Welsh box-to-box midfielder Aaron Ramsey in the team every week, according to Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher, after his fine performance against West Brom on Monday.
