For some football fans, the summer is the part of the calendar that they look forward to the most - and that's not just because it's filled by a World Cup every four years! Rather, it's because the end of the season means only one thing: It's time for transfers! The 2026 window is once again proving to be busy, with some huge names making big-money moves before deadline day on September 1.
Arsenal opened their Premier League campaign with a convincing 3-0 victory over Coventry City at the Emirates Stadium. Former Gunners winger Theo Walcott was full of praise for £34 million debutant Christos Tzolis, comparing him to Alexis Sanchez while issuing a warning to substitute Eberechi Eze.
Arsenal legend Ian Wright has hit out at Mikel Arteta for leaving Gabriel Martinelli out of the squad entirely for their Premier League opener. Wright believes the Brazilian winger deserves far more respect after being left in the dark regarding his future.
Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard outlined the squad's determination to fight for back-to-back Premier League crowns following an emphatic 3-0 victory against Coventry City. The Norwegian playmaker earned Player of the Match honours as the reigning champions brushed aside the newly promoted outfit to launch their title defence in commanding fashion.
Arsenal remain hopeful of signing Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen before the summer transfer window closes. However, the Gunners have informed the Nigeria international that he must lower his substantial salary demands if he wants to complete a move to Mikel Arteta's side.
