Real Madrid have “first refusal” on return of Martin Odegaard

Real Madrid could revisit Odegaard’s story

Martin Odegaard, the captain of Arsenal, may return to Real Madrid in the future. If you’re wondering where I got this information, I’m borrowing the words of Spanish journalist Ramon Alvarez, as translated by Sport Witness.Arsenal reportedly agreed to a right of first refusal with Real Madrid when they signed Odegaard to a permanent contract in August 2021. This agreement calls for Arsenal to speak with Real Madrid first about Odegaard’s departure if he decides to leave. According to Ramon, Real Madrid may seek to exploit this option in the future. “There is a kind of right of first refusal for Real Madrid that we will see if at some point it makes sense for them to exercise it,” he said on his YouTube channel, as translated by Sport Witness.

“Odegaard has just turned 24 and is still at a good age. We’ll see, but with [Jude] Bellingham, there would be a more powerful project.

“His (Odegaard’s) talent is special, and he spent very little time here.”

My OpinionDespite not commanding the headlines in the manner of Kevin De Bruyne, Odegaard has been exactly what Arsenal needed. His masterclass against West Ham proved what an incredible star Arteta is; he was the one who set up all three goals Arsenal scored. It’s unclear whether he’d favour a return to Santiago Barnebou. However, given his position as captain and the incredible success of Arteta’s project, I believe he would not want to leave Arsenal; who would?

Nketiah may be a killer, but Arsenal still need another striker

“In Front Of Goal, He Just Looks Like A Finisher” Promising Gunner Labeled A Danger To PL Goalies

Arsenal faced West Ham in the Premier League, picking up where they left off before the World Cup. The Gunners defeated the Hammers 3-1, continuing their impressive league record of 13 wins, 1 draw, and 1 defeat. That victory demonstrated to Arsenal’s Premier League rivals that they are a team that does not rely solely on one star. Many predicted that Arsenal would struggle without the injured Gabriel Jesus after overlooking Eddie Nketiah as a replacement. Nketiah only needed one chance to show why he should be the one to lead Arsenal’s offence in the future. Following his goal against West Ham, Premier League legend Michael Owen described the academy graduate as a “natural finisher”.

“When he gets in that position, this guy can finish. We’ve watched games today where it’s not the centre forward’s strength, let’s say, to be an absolute killer in front of goal. This lad does finish. He’s a born finisher,” Owen said about Nketiah.

“You can just tell. You can see in front of goal. He just looks like a finisher. He’s calm; he’s collected. All the pressure in the world can be on you but when you’re a goalscorer that’s what you’ve honed your skills in all your life. His goal tonight was absolutely brilliant. I loved how he felt for his man. He just felt where he was and knew where he was, then he rolled him.”

If you consider Owens’ claim, you’d think Arteta’s attack is in good hands, but is it? I don’t know about you, but even though Nketiah has the ability to cover for Jesus, I believe the club should go out and sign another striker as backup.

Nuno Tavares is enjoying his life on loan at Olympique Marseille, and the Arsenal loanee has revealed he wanted his temporary move to have an option of a permanent stay.

The left-back moved to Arsenal last season as a deputy to the often-injured Kieran Tierney.

He had more than enough chances to play, but he was not very convincing, and the Gunners signed Oleksandr Zinchenko in this campaign.

The Ukrainian and Tierney are ahead of him on the pecking order, and several clubs wanted to take him on loan.

OM won the race, and he has been in splendid form for the French side so far.

Speaking about remaining in France, he said, as quoted by The Sun:

“At Arsenal, I do not know if it was a problem of competition with Kieran Tierney, but for me, that’s not even the point.

“I came to Marseille to finally be able to play in my position. When signing with OM, I wanted to have an option to buy, but Arsenal refused. With my agents, we always wanted this purchase option, but Arsenal didn’t.”

Although he did badly in the last campaign, Tavares is clearly talented, and it makes little sense to give up on him so soon.

This is why we have refused to include a buy option in his move to France.

We expect him to return to the club at the end of this season to fight for his place at the Emirates.

Arsenal defender looking for new club after deal falls through

Arsenal defender’s move falls through

Young Arsenal defender Daniel Ballard’s move to the Championship side Burnley has fallen through, The Athletic reports.

The Northern Ireland international was in the city for his medical, however terms between the club could not be agreed.

That will be a blow to new manager Vincent Kompany who was a pivotal figure in convincing the 22-year-old to make a switch to Lancashire.

Even though the Gunners would have hoped for the defender to join Burnley, a defensively robust side, with former center back Kompany their new manager, they won’t be too fussed about the failed move.

Many clubs are believed to be interested in landing Ballard, who’s had two impressive loans at Blackpool and Millwall.

While out on loan, he was an instrumental figure at Blackpool, who got promoted to the Championship in the season he joined. He also tried to push Millwall to the Championship play-off rounds.

Despite not playing a single game for the senior squad of Arsenal, Ballard made an impressive 10 appearances for his national team.

Some fans have high hopes for him

Where the center-back will be plying his trade looks unclear. But one thing is certain, he won’t be staying around at Arsenal.

Mikel Arteta already has Ben White, Gabriel Magalhaes, the incoming William Saliba and Rob Holding in his trusted books.

Not to mention Ajax’s Lisandro Martinez, who Arsenal are pushing to sign in the current transfer window.

Whichever club he ends up joining, I’m sure the club’s faithful will wish him all the best for his future.

Let’s celebrate Arsenal returning to Europe at least

So, Mikel Arteta’s young Arsenal team has taken the Gunners back into Europe after a short hiatus, whatever the result today against Everton in the last game of the season.

Yes we may still miss out on the Champions League, but to be honest, do you think this new, inexperienced young team is really ready to go and mix it up with the big boys at the very elite level?

But being in the Europa is much more winnable, and will also give Arteta the chance to rotate his youngsters and give them invaluable experience that they wouldn’t get sitting on the bench or in the U23s.

And it shouldn’t affect our transfer window that much, as we would need a much bigger squad whether we are in the ECL or the Europa, and I am sure Edu and Arteta are busy lining up Arsenal’s targets as we speak. As Arteta said yesterday: “So we are back in Europe. We don’t know where, it will be decided. Hopefully, it will be Champions League. I believe that we’re going to do what we have to do. We are going to be cheering for Norwich to do what they can do, for sure, and after that, we want to take the club to the next level.

“That’s the ambition. In order to do that we have a very clear plan again, how we want to do it and execute it, and there are no secrets. We need resources and we need to increase the quality and the depth of the squad as long we maintain in the same way who we are as a club and the people that we have next to us.”

I can’t hide the fact that I am really excited about this summers transfer window, and once we see the incoming targets, I will also look forward to further improvement next season.

Believe in the Project!

Xhaka proud of Jose Mourinho links

The Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka has been tipped to leave Arsenal this summer, and there have been numerous rumours that Jose Mourinho is very keen to leave the Emirates to play under him in Serie A with Roma next season.

The Swiss captain has certainly had a rollercoaster career at Arsenal with his relationship with the notoriously fickle Arsenal fans often being in the spotlight, and he was hotly tipped to be leaving before Mikel Arteta took over the reins when Unai Emery was dismissed 18 months ago.

But the Spaniard persuaded Xhaka to stay and it must be said that he has put in many solid performances this season but I still don’t think he has won over many of the Arsenal faithful.

H is currently with the Switzerland national team ahead of the rescheduled Euro2020 coming up, and has been talking to the media about the links with Roma and Jose Mourinho.

Xhaka told Blick: “Of course I read [about the interest]. But now I’m one 100 per cent focused on the national team here,” the 28-year-old told Blick as he prepares to compete at Euro 2020 with Switzerland.

“That’s more important than Arsenal or rumours right now. I have another two years on my contract in London and Arsenal they know what they have in me. When the time comes to talk about a transfer, I’ll be here.”

“To be honest, I didn’t hear what Mourinho has said about me. But that makes you proud. Everyone knows Mourinho, knows what he has achieved. Mourinho knows how to win titles.

“You can now see what work I have done over the past few years.”

Arsenal getting closer to signing Emi Martinez replacement

Arsenal’s GK Replacement close!

Reports on Sky Sports suggest that we are close to signing a replacement for the departed Emiliano Martinez. We are so close in fact that he could be here in time for our evening kick off against West Ham on Saturday, that is of course if he signs and then is registered by midday on Friday.

Our attentions now seem to have turned to Dijon keeper Runar Alex Runarsson a 25-year-old Icelandic footballer who has been at the Ligue 1 side for two years.

Seeing as Brentford seem set that they won’t be selling David Raya to anybody, although it has been reported by David Ornstein that we could go in for Raya and then he would return to Brentford on loan, but that of course would defeat the object of buying him.

So, here are Alex’s last season stats below:

Ideally, we would like someone with zero errors leading to a goal and someone that has clean sheets in every game during a whole season, but even world class Manuel Neuer would struggle to hold those records in the Premier League and every other competition throughout a whole season.

If Arsenal do go out and sign him then I would argue, why don’t they use Matt Macey and try to bring him up to the standards that Martinez was at, seeing that Macey is 26 years old and knows pretty much how the club operates. But of course having just two keepers at the club wouldn’t be enough if one was to get injured, and selling one of the two best keepers the club has had in a long long time, would automatically force you to have to go out and buy, as we are now seeing.

Here’s hoping that whoever we do get in as our new goalkeeper will not be just a panic buy because we have let a talented, passionate and experienced player go as arrangements to keep him had fallen through. Gooners?

Tough-talking Pablo Mari sounds perfect for Arsenal

Talking tough is good Mari; welcome to the Premiership by Lagos Gooner

It is no longer news that Arteta has succeeded in bringing in his first signing as coach of Arsenal. Just yesterday, Pablo Mari was announced as an Arsenal player. Like other new signings, there are always fears if such signings would click or not. Well, as if Mari was reading the minds of the Arsenal fans, he provided an answer to that, while assuring the fans that Arsenal would compete with the best. Pablo Mari believes that with his performance against Liverpool’s attacking duo of Salah and Mane, he is ready for the premiership.

He told the Arsenal website: “It was a great experience. It was really exciting to play against a big club and I think I performed really well. At the end of the day, they’re just people like everyone else.

‘Obviously they’re in great form at the moment and they’re among the best players in the world, but we also have a fantastic team with top players.. This is football and that’s the way you have to look at it.

‘You have to compete against every side, whether it’s Liverpool or any other club in the world.

‘I have a lot of faith in this great club, Arsenal, and I know we’re going to do very well.”

Well said Mari! Arsenal has a fantastic team and should be ready to contest against any team in the world! This is just the best way to look at it. If we are to analyze Pablo’s words, we will be happy to know that we have just signed a footballer who knows he is coming to Arsenal to work for the team, and would do anything to make the team tick. His encounter in the world club competition against the best team in the league right now, gives him so much confidence to look towards challenging more of the Premiership best.

Mari sounds like a winner who knows how to just win, win and win, he wants to come to the Premiership to shake things up and go head to head, toe to toe with the premiership best, because according to him they just humans doing extra ordinary things. With this type of mentality, we can be sure that we are signing a player who is not afraid to do whatever it takes, to neutralize any danger Arsenal may face against the best teams or the best players. All that is needed right now, is for Mari to be humble, avoid controversies and allow his game to speak for him. Who knows what will happen after his six months loan at Arsenal expires? After six months at Arsenal, the club may be encouraged by his performances to sign him up permanently.

We are Arsenal and we are proud.

Should Arsenal just pay however much Aaron Ramsey asks for?

Henrikh Mkhitaryan hopes Aaron Ramsey ends all speculation on his future here at Arsenal, and becomes a real club legend.

As we all know and have read on a daily basis, Ramsey is no closer to signing a new contract with the club than he was a few months ago when negotiations started.

Nobody knows the full details about the kind of deal Ramsey has been asking for, but it has been rumoured he wants the same kind of deal which Ozil managed to get out of us last February when he literally waited until the very last minute to get a deal done.

The German knew we could not afford to lose another big name after the departure of Alexis Sanchez last January, and got his massive £350,000-a-week contract, which is about £150,000-a-week more than we were initially prepared to offer.

Anyway, whatever the reason for Ramsey not committing his long-term future with the club, Mkhitaryan is hopeful he will put pen to paper and ‘become a legend’ at the Emirates.

Mkhi said on the official website: ‘His work rate is very, very high and everyone appreciates what he does on the pitch and off it, because he’s a true professional.

‘Of course it’s very easy to play next to him because he tries to be everywhere to help the team – to score goals, to assist, to tackle, recover balls – and that’s why I’m going to be very happy if he stays at the club.

‘I think he’s been with the club for 10 years already and it seems that he became a symbol for this club. I will be very happy for him if he signs a new contract because he’s in the history of Arsenal already and I hope he can become a legend for Arsenal after a few more years.’

There are seven days left in the transfer window and with Rambo’s contract running out next summer, we need to wrap up this contract signing soon or decide to cash in and get an adequate replacement.

He may be an important member of the squad and one of our most creative, but just like Ozil he could run down his contract and force the club to offer silly money, as he knows he can get that kind of money elsewhere.

Should we pay whatever he asks?

Barcelona speak out on Dembele to Arsenal rumours

The Barcelona coach, Ernesto Valverde, has put an end to speculation we could make a summer move for winger Ousmane Dembele, stating he remains a key component of his squad.

Signed for an jaw-dropping £135 million last summer as a replacement for Neymar, Dembele has failed to live up to expectations at the Camp Nou and failed to make any impact on the first team, partly due to his long list of injuries.

And that led to speculation we could swoop in and offer him an £88 million escape route, with Emery reportedly in the transfer market for a fast, direct winger that will take the defender on rather than stand-him up and pass it, thinking of a certain Alex Iwobi.

Indeed, speculation continued to grow over the past week after Barca splashed out and spent a good chunk of money to acquire the services of Brazilian star Malcom from Bordeaux, who is tipped to develop into a real top-class winger.

But despite all the speculation and crazy rumours that Barca are willing to let Dembele leave for a cut-priced fee, or even on-loan, Valverde is adamant that Dembele will get his chance to prove himself at the La Liga Champions.

Velverde said: ‘Let’s hope it’s his season,’.

‘He is an extraordinary player. The past year has been complicated because of the injuries, but even so he has brought us a lot .

‘The important thing is that there is competition within the team. There are a lot of matches and we can not handle them with only eleven players.’

We have seen Emery spend a lot more money than the £50 million he was supposedly going to get at the beginning of the transfer window, and so far I have been impressed with the signings of the Spaniard.

So the news Dembele will not be coming to the Emirates in the coming weeks will come as a big relief, the 21-year old still has a lot to prove to be worth the £88 million we would have to spend to nail down his signature and I would prefer Emery saved his money and spent it on a player that can make an impact at the club now, not in two or three years time.
