Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has singled out Martin Zubimendi for praise after the summer signing impressed him in pre-season and showed flashes of quality in his Premier League debut against Manchester United. The Norwegian believes the Spaniard can give the Gunners a 'new dimension' as he settles into English football after his move to the Emirates from Real Sociedad.
Jamie Carragher has made a surprising claim against Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, insisting the Spaniard "definitely stole" Martin Zubimendi away from Liverpool. The ex-Real Sociedad midfielder, who had been on the Reds’ radar for over a year, shocked many by snubbing Merseyside in favour of a blockbuster £51 million ($69m) switch to the Emirates this summer.
Pape Matar Sarr scored a stunner as Tottenham beat Arsenal 1-0 in an unsurprisingly fiery friendly that featured a late appearance from the Gunners' new striker, Viktor Gyokeres.
Arsenal have decided to part ways with Thomas Partey once his contract expires on Monday. The Ghanaian midfielder was in talks with the Gunners over signing a new deal but they could not reach an agreement. The 32-year-old was a key part of Mikel Arteta's squad in the 2024-25 campaign, where he made 52 appearances across all competitions and recorded seven goal contributions.
