Francis Coquelin

It’s fairly clear right now that Arsenal’s squad is far from perfect, but which positions in particular do the club need to look at in the summer?

Not long after the Emirates stadium opened I was told by a person I met in the Tollington that Arsenal were set to spend the next ten years severely shackled.

Against Brighton, Granit Xhaka made his 42nd consecutive Premier League start, raising questions about why Arsene Wenger is so insistent on playing him whatever the scenario.

Francis Coquelin has spoken about the differences between Arsene Wenger and Marcelino, adapting to La Liga, and how he’s feeling on the pitch in a recent interview in Spain.

Charlie Nicholas thinks Arsenal’s youth players are being punished for the first-team’s failures, and I can’t say I disagree with him.

Climbing into the top-four is starting to look like an impossible task, and winning the Europa League is a long-shot so could Arsenal cope with another year without Champions League football?

In Arsenal’s win over Östersunds FK, Ainsley Maitland-Niles played as a central midfielder. Arsene Wenger says it’s the 20-year-old’s ‘natural position’, so why do we see him there so rarely?

Arsenal made the best out of several bad situations this January transfer window, and with more players moving in and out of the club than any winter in recent memory, this month has felt like a whirlwind.

Arsenal signed three players and let 13 leave in its busiest January transfer window for years.

For a January transfer window, Arsenal have been extremely busy this month. We’ve rounded up all the news as it stands, in case you missed any of it.

Apart from Calum Chambers in October, the last person at Arsenal to sign a new contract was Arsene Wenger. Chambers is the only player in 12 months to put pen to paper.

Francis Coquelin has said that the Arsenal squad didn’t have any problems with Alexis Sanchez.

Arsenal’s 2017/18 business has been about offloading the deadwood rather than bringing in talent.

Francis Coquelin says he has no regrets about his time with Arsenal, and he needed to move on for the sake of his career.

Francis Coquelin paid for his own private plane to Valencia to speed up his transfer to the club, according to the Frenchman’s new manager in Spain.

Francis Coquelin was unwanted at Arsenal, but could shine under Marcelino at Valencia.

Arsenal’s squad could go through more change if they shed some squad players and make one big change to the first team this January, so how could they be lining up at the end of the month?

Arsene Wenger has suggested that he will not sign anyone to replace Francis Coquelin, and will give the chance to Ainsley Maitland-Niles instead.

Francis Coquelin is looking forward to making a fresh start at Valencia after several years at Arsenal and admits that Santi Cazorla and others helped him with his decision.

Francis Coquelin completed his move to Valencia, and the 26-year-old insists that he’s ready for a fresh start.
