Mikel Arteta is facing a selection headache ahead of Arsenal's high-stakes London derby against Chelsea this weekend. The Gunners boss saw two key first-team players absent from Thursday's preparations as the squad gear up for the Emirates clash.
Chelsea have officially announced the permanent signing of a highly-rated Brazilian youth international from Corinthians. The talented 18-year-old full-back has committed his long-term future to the Stamford Bridge club by signing a contract until 2034, strengthening their youth ranks shortly after the conclusion of a highly lucrative summer transfer window.
Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has strongly questioned Chelsea's decision to sign goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez late in the summer transfer window. The vocal pundit directly disagreed with Ian Wright's recent claim that the Argentina international will elevate the Blues, citing major defensive flaws during his time at Aston Villa despite his bargain price tag.
