Arsenal news

Arsenal have assembled a squad with the intention to compete on all fronts this season, but the club will already be planning for the summer transfer window. The Gunners will hope to be recruiting from a position of power as gaffer Mikel Arteta aims to steer the team towards silverware this term, with his side leading the Premier League and their attention now shifts to the north London derby on Sunday.

Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has signed a new long-term contract, making him the highest-paid player at the club. The England international verbally committed to a new deal earlier in the year, but has now formally put pen to paper on a contract that will run until 2031. The 24-year-old's previous deal was due to expire in 2027, but fans can rest knowing their star boy has pledged his peak years to his boyhood team.

Ethan Nwaneri’s loan spell at Marseille is back on track following the swift appointment of Habib Beye as Roberto De Zerbi's successor. While Mikel Arteta has defended the decision to send the teenage prodigy to Ligue 1 despite an injury crisis at Arsenal, the tactical shift at the Stade Velodrome could help unlock the youngster's full potential.

Arsenal dropped more precious points in their Premier League title bid when throwing away a two-goal lead at Wolves, with a stunning statistic highlighting how badly the Gunners continue to shoot themselves in the foot. Mikel Arteta has overseen three successive runners-up finishes, and is in danger of squandering another glorious opportunity to land the English top-flight crown.

Tottenham legend Glenn Hoddle has criticised Bukayo Saka’s leadership following Arsenal’s disappointing 2-2 draw against bottom-of-the-table Wolves. The former England manager questioned the winger's "flat" demeanour as the Gunners' title charge stuttered at Molineux in Wednesday evening's Premier League clash.

Mikel Arteta has transformed Arsenal into a juggernaut, but the shadow of an impending exit is already looming over the Emirates Stadium. Despite the Gunners' current dominance, former midfield general Emmanuel Petit believes that a return to Spain is inevitable for the current boss, with a specific destination already carved out in the stars. Arteta, who has guided Arsenal to the top of the Premier League and into the latter stages of the Champions League, is increasingly seen as the natural heir to the throne at one of European football's most prestigious institutions.

After watching Premier League leaders Arsenal be held to a 2-2 draw by basement boys Wolves on Wednesday, former Gunner Alan Smith admitted, "That word 'bottle' will be used quite a bit in the next few days." And with good cause. Having blown a two-goal lead at Molineux against one of the weakest teams England's top-flight has ever seen, the obvious question now is whether Mikel Arteta's men are also going to throw away the title.

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher reveals why he was happy to see Arsenal stumble at Wolves, despite wanting Mikel Arteta’s side to beat Manchester City to the Premier League trophy. The London side were held to a shock 2-2 draw against the Premier League bottom feeders on Wednesday, providing their rivals with the chance to catch up.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has called on his players to 'stand up' after they threw away a two-goal lead away at Wolves on Tuesday. The Gunners conceded deep into added time and were held to a 2-2 draw by the team sitting bottom of the table - the first time a side top of the Premier League has ever blown such an advantage against opposition in the relegation zone.

Arsenal slipped up again in the Premier League title race as a late Tom Edozie strike helped Wolves claim a dramatic 2-2 draw on Wednesday. Bukayo Saka headed the Gunners ahead early on before Piero Hincapie doubled their lead shortly after half-time. Hugo Bueno's stunner made it a nervy final 20 minutes for Mikel Arteta's side before a calamitous mistake from David Raya allowed Edozie to equalise courtesy of a ricochet off Riccardo Calafiori.

Everything you need to know to go on tour with the Gunners

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has broken his silence following a wave of criticism on social media after a video emerged of him refusing to sign an autograph for a supporter outside the Emirates Stadium. The incident took place as the Spaniard was in his car following the Gunners' victory over Wigan Athletic and he has taken the chance to tell his side of the story.

Eberechi Eze was meant to be Arsenal's X-factor this season, a player who could break the mould and deliver moments of magic for a regimented team in need of that extra attacking spark. The Gunners sit pretty at the top of the Premier League table, but they are still missing that fluidity in the final third, and Eze has seldom proven the answer to the questions over their potency from open play.
