Arsenal news

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has hinted he is ready to offer Gabriel Jesus his first start in almost 12 months. The Brazilian striker has endured a testing 2025 on the fitness front, with knee ligament damage being suffered, but he could have a prominent role to play for the Gunners in their Carabao Cup quarter-final clash with London rivals Crystal Palace.

Wayne Rooney has delivered a timely warning to Arsenal and Manchester City by insisting Liverpool cannot yet be ruled out of the Premier League title race. Despite sitting ten points off the summit at Christmas after a stuttering title defence, the former Manchester United striker believes the defending champions’ recent revival means they could still have a major say.

Arsenal are reported to have stepped up their interest in Borussia Dortmund-owned goalkeeper Diant Ramaj - who is currently on loan at Heidenheim. It is claimed that the Gunners have sent several scouting missions to Germany. David Raya remains No.1 at Emirates Stadium, with Kepa Arrizabalaga filling back-up duties, but further additions between the sticks are being considered.

Gary Neville has delivered a pointed verdict on Arsenal’s Premier League title hopes as the race with Manchester City reaches a decisive phase, insisting the Gunners will not “bottle it this time”. While acknowledging the pressure Pep Guardiola’s side apply every spring, the former Manchester United defender believes Arsenal’s biggest danger lies elsewhere.

Wayne Rooney is tipping Declan Rice to be the next England captain, with the Arsenal midfielder considered to be “irreplaceable” for club and country. The all-action 26-year-old has become a talismanic presence for the Gunners and Three Lions. He is being billed as a natural heir to Harry Kane on the international stage, with the prolific Bayern Munich striker poised to pass up a prominent armband at some point.

An executive from a Premier League club is being investigated by London’s Metropolitan Police for non-recent sex offences, report The Athletic. The man - who has been described as “well-known” - is still working in the English top flight while the case is being investigated by the police. In a statement, the police said no arrests have been made.

Arsenal regained top spot in the Premier League courtesy of a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Everton at the Hill Dickson Stadium. The slender win was decided in the first-half after Viktor Gyokeres fired home from the penalty spot after Jake O’Brien handled in the box. Everton had two massive penalty appeals turned away in the second-half, but the Gunners held on for the three points.

Mikel Arteta has revealed what he tells his Arsenal players about his long-term future at the club. Saturday's trip to Everton marks six years in the job for Arteta but in that time, the Gunners have only won the FA Cup. The Spaniard's contract expires in the summer of 2027 but if he is to stay on, he suggested he needs to "earn the right" at the north London team.

Everton boss David Moyes shared a hilarious insight into what it was like to manage “moaner” Mikel Arteta ahead of their reunion on the touchline this weekend. The Scot has opened up about coaching the Spaniard during his playing days, while jokingly criticising how the now-Arsenal gaffer conducts his transfer business, having lost Declan Rice to his protege while he was in charge of West Ham United.

Manchester City legend Yaya Toure is adamant he was “better” than his brother Kolo after revealing the siblings had a “bitter rivalry” growing up. The former midfielder has opened up about what it was like to both compete and play alongside his brother, who represented Premier League trio Arsenal, City and Liverpool in a 14-year spell in English football.

Mikel Arteta has warned Viktor Gyokeres that he must experience the Arsenal doubters following the "global impact" of his summer transfer. The Sweden international arrived in north London last summer in a deal worth up to £63.5 million ($85m), fuelled by staggering numbers at Sporting CP, where he struck 97 goals in 102 appearances. That reputation ensured his transfer landed with global fanfare, but it also guaranteed that every performance would be under intense scrutiny.

Mikel Arteta has revealed what would be his ideal Christmas present as the Arsenal boss prepares his side for the busy festive football period. The Spaniard also reflected on the "incredible journey" he's been on, with it having been six years since the Gunners appointed the former Manchester City assistant as their head coach.
