Arteta: "The injuries I think have been a nightmare in terms of selecting line-ups, substitutions, how we change training sessions - because we have had times without a lot of players available.

"That's when you want to really raise the standards, win and be much better than the opposition in this league, in this context. It's very demanding and very tricky.

"We had three or four big injuries, and it's very difficult to prevent them all. Can we do something different? The luck could have been different, the training could have been different, the gym could have been different, prevention can be different.

"We will look at all those things to try to be better and the reality is that the starting point and the numbers that we had in the beginning to start the season were very, very low and we accepted the challenge because it's what we could do at that moment."

The appointment of 𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚 𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐚 has boosted 𝐕𝐢𝐤𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐆𝐲ö𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬’ chances, with big internal support now pushing for the move. 💥

⚽ Meanwhile, work on 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐬𝐤𝐨 is still advanced.

Arsenal offering Leandro Trossard a new four-year contract is a smart move—as long as the salary remains within a sensible range. Trossard has proven to be an excellent piece of business since his £30 million arrival, offering versatility, technical quality, and end product whenever called upon. His ability to step in seamlessly across the front line makes him a valuable squad asset, especially in a team competing on multiple fronts.

Extending his deal until he’s 34 might raise some eyebrows, but from a business standpoint, it’s sound. With good management of his minutes, Trossard can maintain his level well into his early 30s. Arsenal could easily look to move him on around the age of 32 or 33, likely to a mid or lower-table club, still commanding a respectable fee.

In today’s market, players with his profile and experience are rarely available for such value, and locking him down early helps maintain squad stability. Overall, this is a low-risk, high-reward decision that strengthens Arsenal’s depth while protecting his resale value.

Arsenal have officially opened contract negotiations with Leandro Trossard, aiming to secure the Belgian winger’s future at the club with a new deal that would run until 2029. The proposed contract would keep Trossard at the Emirates until the age of 34, reflecting the club’s confidence in his abilities and long-term value to the squad.

A key factor behind Arsenal’s willingness to offer such an extended deal is Trossard’s consistently high levels of fitness and durability, which have made him a reliable and important figure in Mikel Arteta’s plans. Since joining Arsenal, Trossard has impressed with his versatility, technical quality, and ability to deliver in big moments, making him a valuable asset across multiple positions in attack.

Discussions between the player’s representatives and the club are underway, and while there’s optimism on both sides, final details are still being worked out. Should the agreement be finalized, it would mark another strong statement of intent from Arsenal as they look to solidify their core group of players for the long term and maintain momentum in both domestic and European competitions.

Arsenal have identified Nico Williams as their top priority for the left-wing position ahead of the summer transfer window. The club’s recruitment team views the Athletic Club star as the perfect profile to strengthen the flank and provide high-level competition for Gabriel Martinelli. Williams’ pace, dribbling, creativity, and work rate have caught Arsenal’s eye, and the club is keen to push for a deal if circumstances allow.

However, the Gunners are also preparing contingency plans in case a move for Williams proves unfeasible due to competition, price, or other factors. Among the alternative targets being considered are Rafael Leão of AC Milan and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens of Borussia Dortmund. Leão’s explosiveness and experience at the top level, combined with Bynoe-Gittens’ exciting potential and versatility, make them attractive options as part of Arsenal’s broader strategy to reinforce the wide areas.

The club’s leadership is determined to add depth and quality on the left, ensuring Mikel Arteta has the resources needed to compete on all fronts next season. Arsenal’s summer plans reflect a carefully considered balance between immediate impact and long-term squad building.

Martin Zubimendi is widely regarded as the most sought-after, tempo-setting defensive midfielder in world football right now — a true master of dictating the rhythm of the game with his intelligence, composure, and exceptional two-footed passing range. His ability to control the flow of play, break lines with precision, and anchor midfield battles has made him a standout name on the market, pursued by several elite clubs across Europe.

For Arsenal to secure a verbal agreement at this stage is nothing short of a major statement — a signal of real intent as they gear up for what promises to be an ambitious and transformative summer window. While there are still formalities and steps to complete before the deal is finalized, reaching this stage early gives the club a critical edge and sends a clear message to both fans and rivals: Arsenal mean business.

But Zubimendi isn’t just an isolated signing — he’s the first piece in what looks set to be a carefully planned and exciting rebuild. His arrival could reshape Arsenal’s midfield, providing Mikel Arteta with the sort of world-class, press-resistant anchor the team has been craving to elevate their possession game and defensive solidity. His tactical intelligence will allow Arsenal’s more advanced players to thrive, freeing up the likes of Declan Rice, Martin Ødegaard, and others to push even further forward with confidence.

And this, importantly, is just the beginning. The sense around the club is that this summer will be one of significant movement, both in terms of incomings and strategic upgrades across key positions. With Arsenal now firmly established as perennial title challengers and Champions League contenders, the leadership’s ambition is clear: they want to push the squad to the next level and build a team that can compete consistently at the very top of European football.

In short, the Zubimendi move is not only a huge coup — it’s the opening chapter in what promises to be a defining summer for Arsenal. Expect more big moves to follow.
