Arsenal are usually applauded for giving their younger players a chance but this season there’s only been one team worse at it: Chelsea.

Relegated Middlesbrough are reportedly determined to keep hold of Ben Gibson despite interest from Arsenal and Chelsea.

Former Chelsea winger, Pat Nevin, reckons that Cesc Fabregas could destroy Arsenal during the FA Cup final in more ways than one.

Mauro Icardi has once again committed his future to Inter Milan despite the Serie A club’s poor season.

Arsenal are reportedly prepared to compete with Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City for Stoke City goalkeeper, Jack Butland.

According to a report in the Sun today, Arsene Wenger is interested in signing Tammy Abraham.

Cesc Fabregas has said that it will be ’emotional’ when he faces Arsenal in the FA Cup final in just under two weeks’ time.

Chelsea have planned their title-winning parade through London for the day after the FA Cup final against Arsenal, no doubt hopeful that they will be celebrating a double – but what happens if Arsenal win the final?

Recent reports suggest that Alvaro Morata is on the verge of leaving Santiago Bernabeu to join English champions Chelsea despite being heavily linked with Arsenal.

Arsenal moved to a new stadium over 10 years ago. In that time, the football landscape changed dramatically and the Gunners struggled to keep up with both their debt repayments and the new requirements of modern football. As Tottenham bid farewell to White Hart Lane, the noises they are making indicate they haven’t been paying attention to their neighbours as closely as they should.

Chelsea are reportedly striving to succeed where Arsenal failed to sign Roma defender, Kostas Manolas.

Arsene Wenger commented that Chelsea might find things slightly tougher next season having to incorporate Champions League football into their schedule and this has, of course, been twisted.

According to reports in both Goal and the Sun, Arsenal are prepared to battle Premier League champions Chelsea for Álvaro Morata this summer.

Just like in 2014 and 2015, Arsenal will be showing the FA Cup final live on an 120-metre screen at the Emirates on 27 May.

As I reported last month, Arsenal were slow to move in bid to sign Rangers wonderkid Billy Gilmour and he’s now signed for Chelsea.

Chelsea are one of the clubs being consistently linked with a move for Alexis Sanchez this summer but what do their fans think of this particular rumour?

Antonio Conte believes that Chelsea’s loss to Arsenal earlier in the campaign was a pivotal point in their season.

Reliable french outlet, Le Parisien, claims that while Paris Saint-Germain’s interest in Alexis Sanchez is very real, the Chilean would prefer a move to Bayern Munich.

Arsene Wenger believes that Chelsea’s league win this season has been helped massively by the fact that they’ve not been in Europe.

Chelsea are reportedly striving to succeed where Arsenal failed and sign Roma defender, Kostas Manolas.
