Arsenal legend Martin Keown believes teenage sensation Max Dowman is developing well "ahead of schedule" and is fully primed for a breakthrough campaign in Mikel Arteta's first team. The 16-year-old made history last season during the Gunners' triumphant title run-in, with the former defender tipping the starlet to play a vital part this term.

Aston Villa have reportedly entered the race for Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo as Unai Emery looks to perform major surgery on his backline. The move comes as England international Ezri Konsa prepares to finalise a high-profile switch to Mikel Arteta's Arsenal.

Arsenal have completed the signing of England centre-back Ezri Konsa from Aston Villa in a deal worth up to £55 million. The 28-year-old defender has penned a four-year contract with the option for a further 12 months at the Emirates Stadium, bolstering Mikel Arteta's backline options as the reigning Premier League champions launch their title defence.

Arsenal could be set for a significant departure just as their Premier League title defence begins, with reports suggesting a key forward is aggresively pursuing for a move to Barcelona. Despite a productive debut season at the Emirates, the lure of the Camp Nou appears to have turned the player's head as the transfer deadline approaches.
