With the signing of Deportivo’s Lucas Perez all but officially announced, fans have already started to question whether the striker is really an ‘upgrade’ on Olivier Giroud.

When it comes to the connection between fans and the club they support, sometimes you couldn’t feel further away. One club is trying to fix that.

You wouldn’t think you could learn anything from a performance that was a carbon copy of a thousand we’ve watched before, but we did.

Shipping four goals is never, ever, excusable but Arsene Wenger was right to not play Laurent Koscielny against Liverpool.
