Football fans are set for a festive treat as the Premier League has officially confirmed that seven fixtures will be played on Boxing Day this year. The move marks a significant return to tradition after last season's schedule was heavily reduced to prioritise player welfare.
Arsenal are preparing to hand Mikel Arteta a record-breaking new contract that will see the Spaniard become one of the best-paid managers in world football. The Gunners are eager to secure the long-term future of their leader following a period of unprecedented progress that has seen the club return to the pinnacle of the English game.
Arsenal were linked with Vinicius Junior and Bradley Barcola during the summer transfer window of 2026, but missed out on both. Jermaine Pennant has told GOAL that the Gunners will sign a superstar left winger at some point, as they have actually got “weaker” in that department. Mikel Arteta has pieced together a Premier League title-winning squad, but there is still room for improvement at Emirates Stadium.
