Despite watching all three of the games played on the opening Saturday of the Euros, I’d be hard pressed to tell you much about what happened in them.

Another day, another Arsenal legend has his say on what he thinks of Jamie Vardy potentially joining the Gunners this summer.

Here’s a round-up of what happened on Tuesday.

Wojciech Szczesny has confirmed that he’ll decide on his future after the Euros.

Riyad Mahrez has given Leicester City fans a new reason to feel anxious over his future at the club.

Inevitably, in the absence of the potential Vardy transfer meeting deadlines guessed at by journalists, the vacuum of news has been gleefully filled by anyone with a desire to sell stories. Regardless of whether or not there is a story to sell.

Speaking to The Players’ Tribune, Jerome Boateng revealed that one of his biggest inspirations was Patrick Vieira when he was at Arsenal.
