Premier League clubs Arsenal, Crystal Palace, and Fulham have all identified Brest centre-back Raphael Le Guen as a primary transfer target this summer. Crystal Palace are currently leading the race for the defender, but Mikel Arteta's Arsenal could launch a late bid as they urgently seek defensive cover for William Saliba following his recent injury.

Despite having more possession and completed passes, Man City were outplayed by Arsenal in the Community Shield. This offers a hint of what’s to come.

Arsenal have moved decisively in the summer transfer market to secure a major defensive reinforcement, agreeing a deal with Aston Villa for Ezri Konsa. The England international is now poised to undergo a medical on Thursday as Mikel Arteta looks to solve a brewing injury crisis at the back.

Arsenal chief executive Richard Garlick has confirmed that Mikel Arteta’s long-term future at the Emirates Stadium will be resolved imminently. The Spaniard, who has entered the final 12 months of his current deal, is expected to commit his future to the club following a period of unprecedented progress in North London.
