The Arsenal ‘Invincibles’ of 2003-04 will forever hold a special place in football folklore, with the likes of Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Patrick Vieira rewriting the Premier League history books. Arsene Wenger’s squad was loaded with talent at that time, and Highbury academy graduate John Halls - who has gone on to become a male model - has namechecked two iconic Gunners that would have been “super superstars” at any other club during an exclusive interview with GOAL.
Julian Alvarez has reportedly ignored a phone call from Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta as he looks to avoid a return to the Premier League. Atletico Madrid are eager to sell the unhappy striker to fund new signings, but Barcelona are waiting patiently for a domestic deal to materialise.
Manchester United legends Paul Scholes and Gary Neville have emphatically backed Arsenal to retain their hard-fought Premier League crown this season. With Mikel Arteta significantly strengthening his formidable squad, Scholes even believes a historic treble is well within reach for the reigning English champions.
Arsenal legend Alan Smith has questioned the wisdom behind the Gunners' decision to potentially sanction a cut-price exit for Gabriel Martinelli this summer. As the Brazilian winger edges closer to a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League with Al-Hilal, Smith suggested that a £50m valuation significantly undervalues a player of his calibre in the modern market.
Julian Alvarez finds himself at the centre of a heated storm in the Spanish capital after his public attempts to engineer a move away from Atletico Madrid backfired spectacularly. The Argentine forward, once a fan favourite, is now facing heavy criticism for his conduct while Premier League heavyweights Arsenal watch the situation with interest.
Michael Zetterer’s move is said to be imminent. Does that finally clear the way for Noah Atubolu to join Eintracht Frankfurt? SGE also appear to be looking at alternatives.
Vinicius Junior’s links to Arsenal were “classic agent play”, Premier League legend Gareth Barry has told GOAL, with there never much chance of the Brazilian superstar leaving Real Madrid for Emirates Stadium. After generating shock transfer rumours, the South American forward eventually committed to a new contract in Spain - with the Gunners exploring alternative options.
Gabriel Martinelli is closing in on a lucrative move to Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal after being told to find a new club by Mikel Arteta. The ruthless decision has reportedly caused significant discomfort within the Arsenal squad, with team-mates deeply unhappy about the Brazilian winger's recent treatment.
Alan Shearer believes Arsenal have a major opportunity to sign unsettled forward Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid before the transfer deadline. The Gunners have been backed to hijack the striker's controversial move to Barcelona, with Shearer claiming his arrival would guarantee another domestic title.
Simon Jordan has launched a scathing critique of Ian Wright, urging the Arsenal legend to "wind his neck in" following his controversial comments regarding Gabriel Martinelli. The dispute centres on the Brazilian winger's current exile from the Gunners' first-team squad as a move to the Saudi Pro League looms.
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has delivered a definitive verdict on the Premier League title race, insisting that Arsenal are currently without equals in the English top flight. The former England defender believes the stability at the Emirates Stadium gives Mikel Arteta a significant advantage over rivals currently navigating major transitional periods.
The fans no longer want to see Alvarez, but Atletico Madrid do not want to sell him to Barcelona. There is the Arsenal option, who have put Gyokeres and Martinelli on the market.
