Eddie Nketiah scored again for Leeds United on Wednesday night, netting the winner just four minutes into his home debut after being brought on as a sub late in the game.

Arsenal are expecting Rob Holding to face Everton u23s on Friday with the defender reportedly penciled in to play the full 90 minutes.

Jens Lehmann says he wants to become a head coach despite what must surely have been a disappointing experience as assistant head coach at Augsburg, the club Stephan Lichststeiner has just joined.

Arsenal were one of a number of top clubs reportedly scouting Rennes’ 16-year-old defensive midfielder, Eduardo Camavinga.

Stephan Lichtsteiner is excited to sign for FC Augsburg after he agreed a one-year deal on a free transfer following his release by Arsenal at the start of the summer.

Arsenal are reportedly ready to offer Matteo Guendouzi a new deal that would see his wages increase to £70kpw.

When Arsenal were first linked with Nicolas Pepe in November last year, he was rated at just £27m.

As reports emerge of Arsenal trying to structure deals to bring Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang up to Mesut Ozil-level wages while Manchester United try to shift Alexis Sanchez on, it looks like the German actually earns more than the Chilean as a basic salary.

Unai Emery has said that Arsenal never want to play against Liverpool in a ‘joke’ he’d have been better keeping inside his head.

Lucas Torreira’s agent has admitted that AC Milan (Ivan Gazidis) did try to sign Lucas Torreira this summer.

It is widely accepted across football that Arsenal had one of the best transfer windows in the game, so how did that happen?

Arsenal have reportedly offered Alexandre Lacazette a bumper payrise in line with what is being offered to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Former Arsenal forward Ryo Miyaichi has played four different positions this season in just four games and is now being deployed as a right-back despite being a winger.

Arsenal are reportedly confident they can structure a complicated deal that would see Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang earn as much as Mesut Ozil through the use of bonuses.

Matteo Guendouzi is hoping he can nail down a regular place in the France national team and believes Arsenal ‘clearly’ have a better team this season.

Alexandre Lacazette opened his goal account for Arsenal on Saturday against Burnley and then declared that we haven’t seen the best of him yet.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang netted his second goal of the season against Burnley and then admitted that getting back into the Champions League next season is the most important thing for Arsenal.

During the course of my week I come across quite a few stories that don’t seem to make the mainstream press or, at least, get delayed and I thought it might be an idea to collect some of those up.

Arsenal reportedly turned down the chance to sign Antoine Griezmann from Real Sociedad before he moved to Atletico Madrid.

Over the weekend I decided to ask Arsenal fans who the worst footballing person would be to be stuck in a lift with and there was one clear winner.
