FC Minaj Overview

Arsenal and France defender William Saliba was forced off the pitch during his nation's World Cup semi-final match against Spain due to a back injury. France ultimately suffered a 2-0 defeat, ending their campaign. Saliba has been managing the issue for several months, and his sudden withdrawal has sparked fears that he may now require surgery ahead of the new season.

Arsenal have confirmed they have reached an agreement with Turkish giants Besiktas for the permanent transfer of Leandro Trossard. The Belgium international is now travelling to Istanbul to undergo a medical examination and finalise personal terms on a reported three-year contract, bringing an end to his successful three-and-a-half-year spell at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal have intensified their pursuit of Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez as Mikel Arteta reportedly looks to secure his primary attacking target before the start of pre-season. The Gunners are hoping to capitalise on Atletico taking a firm stance against selling the Argentina international to Barcelona.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has launched a scathing attack on Noni Madueke following England’s dramatic World Cup quarter-final victory over Norway, brutally joking that a spidercam cable put in a better performance. The Swedish icon claimed the Three Lions were essentially playing with ten men before the Arsenal winger was hauled off at the interval by Thomas Tuchel.
