Ever since Matteo Guendouzi had a go at Neal Maupay after Arsenal’s defeat at Brighton, he hasn’t been seen near the Arsenal squad.

Matteo Guendouzi could well be on his way out of Arsenal this summer with the player said to be open to a move, Mikel Arteta not best impressed with his attitude and Real Madrid willing to bring him to Spain.

Former Arsenal midfielder, Emmanuel Petit, has said he would walk away from Arsenal if he was Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, but when he walked away himself, he won nothing.

Arsenal picked up all three points at the home of the side with the worst home record in the league, thus ensuring they are able to play Premier League football next season.

As Arsenal announced four deals on Wednesday morning, fans were left to wait until that evening to hear the news they really wanted – Bukayo Saka is on the verge of signing a new deal with the club.

Joe Willock has been speaking to Arsenal.com about the jump up from Academy football to the senior squad.

Cedric Soares is ‘delighted’ to have made his loan deal with Arsenal permanent and took to Twitter to let us all know.

Arsenal have confirmed that they have signed David Luiz to a new one-year extension, Pablo Mari and Cedric Soares to long-term, permanent deals and secured Dani Ceballos until the end of the current campaign.
