Arsenal Media Watch Archives: 10/2022

As the World Cup closes in, the English press have become very concerned with the amount of football Bukayo Saka is playing for the club that pays his wages.

Arsenal are currently in talks with William Saliba over a new contract so of course there is a lot of gossip about him in the media, but some of what is being claimed is total nonsense.

David Seaman has been talking about how nice Gabriel Martinelli is, a trait the Daily Mirror says hints at a ‘future captaincy’ for a player who wants to be Arsenal captain.

Paul Merson has predicted that Arsenal will “rip them to shreds” when they play Leeds United at Elland Road this weekend as they look to maintain their place at the top of the Premier League table.

Earlier this week, the Daily Mail made a claim about Gabriel Martinelli’s ‘wage demands’ that seemed a little bit on the excessive side and now a more realistic number has hit the press.

The Daily Mail have produced a ‘special report’ on Martin Odegaard in their Thursday edition, ahead of Arsenal’s game in Norway against Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League.

Arsenal followed up their victory over Tottenham with a hard-fought 3-2 win over Liverpool to finish the weekend top of the table and the only side most people are saying can give Manchester City some sort of race.

Ahead of Liverpool’s visit to the Emirates this weekend, the Telegraph’s chief football correspondent, Jason Burt, has claimed that Arsenal are ‘the one side who can stop City’s march to the title’.

Arsenal legend, ‘It’s only’ Ray Parlour, has been comparing Arsenal legend-in-the-making Gabriel Jesus, with Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry, even though he says the players are nothing like each other.

Fabio Vieira was voted Man of the Match by Arsenal fans following his first start at home and BT Sport’s Joe Cole couldn’t say enough nice things about him after the game.

Chris Sutton doesn’t have the best reputation amongst Arsenal fans but his latest prediction, mad as it might seem will have quite a few smiling at the very least.

Mikel Arteta has responded to claims that William Saliba is a player ‘in the mould’ of Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk ahead of the two sides meeting on Sunday.
