Sam Allardyce has called Theo Walcott into his first England squad but has left Jack Wilshere and Alex Oxalde-Chamberlain out.

Shkodran Mustafi set the internet alive on Sunday afternoon when he gave his first interview after agreeing to join Arsenal.

Shkodran Mustafi has given an exclusive interview to Sky in Germany in which he said that he is ‘happy’ and ‘looking forward’ to playing for Arsene Wenger.

The Sun are reporting that Arsenal did indeed try to sign Antoine Griezmann but the Frenchman said now in order to remain in Spain.

It seems like Manchster United score more late winners than anyone, but they don’t even score more than Arsenal

Nacho Monreal received a ‘kick’ against Watford but the Arsenal team are not worried about it being anything more serious.

Three Arsenal loanees were (not) in action this weekend, here is a roundup of what happened.

Arsenal went to Watford, blew them away in the first half, wobbled a bit in the second, but held on to take all three points back to the Emirates.

Granit Xhaka announced himself to the watching world on Saturday when he displayed his vast, precise and incisive range of passing, his ability to read the game, position himself for maximum effect and generally act like the midfielder we’ve been crying about needing for around 10 years.

Arsene Wenger admitted that his side ‘shot themselves in the foot’ against Liverpool as he watched his side get their first win of the season against Watford on Saturday.

Arsene Wenger has confirmed that the deals to bring Shkodran Mustafi and Lucas Perez have now been complete!

Kevin Friend will take charge of Arsenal’s game against Watford on Saturday, so what can we expect from the man who was once removed from a match because Tottenham fans complained he supported Leicester?

We might have two new shiny signings about to be announced but at present, we have to work with what we’ve got and even that makes picking a starting XI for Arsenal’s game against Watford a little tricky.

Arsenal have been linked with a move for Newcastle United’s 22-year-old Chancel Mbemba as HITC managed to find a centre back on the planet not previously linked to Arsenal.

Lucas Perez is expected in London today (Friday) ahead of his move to Arsenal for €20m according to a number of reports coming out of the local press.

It seems like it is just a formality that Lucas Perez will be an Arsenal signing sooner rather than later.

After weeks of complaining nothing was happening Arsenal seem to have put a rocket up their arse and look close to completing two deals at the same time.

Liverpool are ready to cash in on defender, Alex Greenwood, a player they purchased for a sizeable fee from Notts County in February.

What do you want me to cover first…Lucas Perez or the Champions League draw?

If you took a day off from the internet, you’ll have likely missed things going a little bit nuts on Thursday.
