Arsenal icon Tony Adams has sparked a major leadership debate at the Emirates, insisting Mikel Arteta must strip Martin Odegaard of the captaincy if the club are serious about ending their long wait for a Premier League title. The former Gunners skipper, who lifted four league trophies during his decorated career, believes the armband should be handed to Declan Rice, a player he sees as the embodiment of a champion.
Arsenal's Oleksandr Zinchenko described the 2024-25 season as the 'worst season' of his career, as he claimed that Mikel Arteta stopped believing in him. The Ukrainian defender started in only five Premier League matches throughout the campaign, including the opener against Wolves, despite limited injury issues.
Arsenal are yet to make progress in their transfer pursuit of Eberechi Eze, while Tottenham Hotspur have reignited their interest in the Crystal Palace talisman. Eze reportedly has a release clause in his current contract worth £68 million ($92m/€79m), which is active until August 15. The Gunners have added firepower to their attack this summer by signing Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres.

In a heartwarming gesture, Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has donated over 1,000 uniforms to four schools in Ealing, including Edward Betham and Greenford High, which he attended as a kid. Saka was born and bred in Ealing and he wanted to give back to the people where he grew up. The England international visited the schools in person to hand over the uniforms to the students.
Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has admitted that 'players come and go' in football, offering Arsenal and Liverpool hope of signing Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi before the transfer deadline. Both England internationals played key roles in Palace’s Community Shield triumph over Liverpool, but their futures remain uncertain as interest mounts from Premier League rivals.
