Coupe d'ArménieVue d'ensemble

Liverpool defender Milos Kerkez has been forced to address a bizarre and escalating political controversy after being named on a database of 'enemies of Ukraine'. The Hungary international, along with his father, was included on the list following a heated on-pitch exchange during a recent Nations League fixture.

Arsenal have officially confirmed that Mikel Arteta has committed his long-term future to the club by signing a new contract that runs until June 2030. The Spaniard has been rewarded for leading the Gunners to their first Premier League title in over two decades, cementing his place as the leader of a new era in North London.

Xabi Alonso's Chelsea have scored freely, but they've also conceded 12 goals in five games, the most in the league, and the cracks showed in a 3-0 loss at Brentford. With a leaky defence, a midfield short on control after the Enzo Fernández and Andrey Santos sales, and a Rogers, Palmer and João Pedro attack that is a joy to watch, the team is gifted but lopsided. So what is Alonso actually building, and can he find the balance before the season slips away?
