Russia U21 Overview

Premier League champions Arsenal have officially confirmed their second transfer exit of the summer following a formal statement. The club sanctioned a permanent move for goalkeeper Karl Hein to Werder Bremen, continuing a squad clearing process that began with defender Jakub Kiwior’s permanent departure to Porto earlier this month.

Thomas Tuchel has finalised his travel plans for England's upcoming North American venture by naming the fourth youth addition to his senior preparation camp. While some fans expected a sensational call-up for Max Dowman, the German tactician has instead put his faith in the Arsenal starlet's team-mate Ethan Nwaneri.

Martin Odegaard has faced criticism at times over the last couple of seasons, but he is now a Premier League title winner at Arsenal and fellow countryman John Arne Riise has told GOAL why he is “shocked and surprised” that anybody has ever doubted an “amazing” talent. The Norway international remains a key cog in Mikel Arteta’s well-oiled machine at Emirates Stadium.

Another 2014 World Cup winner is hanging up his boots: Lukas Podolski will bring down the curtain on his professional career this summer.
