On July 2, 2011, Arsenal poached 16-year-old Bellerin from Barcelona .
Although Bellerin failed to fully realize his talent, he was more than enough to play the main role in Arsenal at his peak, and he was definitely a template for a modern full-back. To be honest, even if Fu'an Jianyang is healthy, he has not yet reached that level. At Bellerin's peak level, Blitzkrieg could manage the right wing by himself and run back and forth. The key was to be able to attack.
naturally had nothing to say after he was injured... In fact, there will be more transactions like this in the future. Now everyone wants to buy, even the rotation or even the third substitute. You can only see 1-2 in a season. A symbolic debut of a face is not enough.
Congratulations to Arsenal star Norton Cuffey for helping England U19 win the European Youth Championship!
The England youth team defeated Israel 3-1. Among the winning players were former Arsenal youngster Oyegok.
Congratulations to Norton Cuffey. He played for Lincoln City on loan last season and his performance was a blockbuster. His talent is very good and he is highly favored by the industry. If there is no chance this season, it is recommended to rent out. This person is worth paying attention to in the future!
Cuffy is only 18 years old this year. He mainly plays right back, but he can play in all four positions in the back line. Last season, the Lincoln City official website joked that Cuffy was called "Norton Cafu" after he scored!
Photos of Arsenal's new signing Fabio Vieira wearing protective boots were recently circulated on the Internet. The midfielder posted pictures and texts on Instagram to clarify the matter to Arsenal fans.
Vieira said: "Calm down, brothers...it's just a protective measure! I'm completely fine and will join Arsenal soon to start the pre-season."
Arsenal will go to Germany to start training camp early next week, and then next There will be a friendly match against Nuremberg on Friday.
seems to be fine, it's probably a sprain or something, just in case, just rest for a few days.
In fact, Vieira has been a bit overlooked. After all, he is a 40 million-level player. Logically speaking, he should be highly anticipated, but it feels like Gunners fans quickly transferred their energy to other transactions, maybe because he played There is already Odegaard in the position...
I hope Vieira can prove himself in the new season!
CWY tweeted: Arsenal star Salah has attracted the interest of some Eredivisie teams.
Salah was on the bench in five Premier League games last season, and Arsenal are looking for a suitable loan option for him. In addition, the Moroccan national team may soon recruit Salah (he is a dual citizen of , the Netherlands, and Morocco).
Let's rent it out. I feel like there won't be a chance in the new season. After all, Vieira has joined, and Arsenal may have to buy a winger and a defensive midfielder. Salah basically won't have a chance.
In fact, Flores, Rekik , Ballard and others have already made their debuts on behalf of the adult national team. Maybe Salah will also make his debut in Morocco soon, but they can’t even compete with Assen. Nerazzurri didn't even make his debut with the first team. To be honest, this is not normal. I don't remember any player in Wenger's era who didn't play for Arsenal but first played for the national team. In more than 20 years, there has been basically no player. (Or rarely)... Because basically Wenger, a young player with some talent, will let him play.
So my biggest "dissatisfaction" with Arteta is not even the results, but that he has not provided enough opportunities for the players in the youth training camp in the past two and a half years. In the past two and a half years, only Azez and Cotre have Er, Patino and Balogun made their debuts under Arteta, and their combined playing time was very little.
Let’s take a look at the transfer rumors.
CBS reporter BJ reported that Tielemans wants to join Arsenal, Edu is still in contact with his agent, and the Gunners have reached an agreement with the player on personal terms.
However, Arsenal have never made an official offer for Tielemans and are still deciding whether to do so.
I personally think that Arsenal should decisively sign Tielemans because the price is very suitable and he has proven himself in the Premier League. This is enough. If you hesitate, you may end up with nothing. Now let’s look at Lisan DDR may also be blocked, so what are you waiting for? If Tielemans is gone, who to buy...
Romano news (Sky Sports and other media have reported), Brentford is about to sign Aaron from Bologna- Hickey, the transfer fee is 14 million pounds + floating, and the five-year contract is finalized. The Scotsman will go to England for a medical examination next week.
Romano said that Arsenal had never made an offer for Hickey, but had only inspected the player. The Gunners were focusing on different players in other positions.
Judging from the transfer fee, Arsenal really don’t want to buy him, otherwise they can easily sign Hickey. He is not Arsenal’s main target. The Gunners’ main target is Lisandro, and finally some media said that Arsenal Na's positioning for Lisandro: left back.
Then we can understand why Arsenal did not offer Hickey, and why Arsenal were previously interested in Zinchenko, because Arteta may be looking for someone to replace Tierney...
Let's take a look at Lisandro The problem.
Romano tweeted: Manchester United are preparing to submit an offer for Lisandro Martinez. He is at the top of Ten Hag's signing list. The competition is still open and Arsenal has no intention of giving up.
Once Manchester United finalizes the transfer of Malaysia and officially confirms it, they will operate Lisandro, and the Gunners are still pushing for this deal.
This is relatively early news. In fact, judging from subsequent reports, Manchester United has made an offer for Lisandro, just within the last 24 hours!
But the key to this news is that Arsenal have not given up on Lisandro and the competition is still open.
The Athletic reporter DO stated in the article about Manchester United’s acquisition of Malaysia that they have already started operating Lisandro Martinez.
DO pointed out that Manchester United is currently seeking to reach an agreement with Ajax on the transfer of Lisandro, and they believe that they have become the most promising club to sign the star. Now Manchester United and Ajax In-depth talks are ongoing and the player himself is understood to be keen to reunite with Ten Hag.
Both DO and Romano updated the progress of the matter respectively. In fact, judging from the development of the last day, Manchester United's intervention was very direct and rapid. On Friday, they were only negotiating, but on Saturday they already made an official offer, and It can even be said that they are already leading Arsenal.
Manchester Evening News Manchester United Editor-in-Chief SL issued an article stating that Manchester United has submitted a 37 million pound offer for Lisandro Martinez and they are continuing to pursue targets that Ten Hag is familiar with.
reported that Manchester United’s initial priority target on the defensive line was another Ajax player Timber, but currently it seems that the new star will stay on the team, so Manchester United turned its attention to Lisandro. SL said that it actually kept him. -Torres and David Carmo (Braga) were previously targets for Manchester United's defense, but Ten Hag prefers to introduce players from Ajax or the Netherlands.
Finally, SL said that Arsenal is also interested in Lisandro, but he emphasized that the Gunners' interest may encourage Manchester United to finalize Argentina people as soon as possible. Recently, Red Devils just intercepted Lyon target Malaysia. . The news about
SL is very good. From now on, we know that Manchester United has made an offer, and Ten Hag is very determined to want Lisandro. Let's talk about it after reading all the news.
Post reporter SM news, Manchester United has submitted a bid of 34.5 million pounds for Lisandro Martinez. Ajax has rejected a similar offer from Arsenal, but Manchester United may join the float. The form of terms increases the total price.
reports that Ajax’s asking price for Lisandro is £43 million.
Different media may have different opinions on the specific price, but reliable reporters all confirmed with one voice: Manchester United has made an offer.
Goal reporter CWS published an article saying that Manchester United has submitted an official offer for Lisandro Martinez. The amount of this offer is similar to Arsenal’s previous offer: 40 million euros + 5 million floating points. Ajax has not yet responded to this offer. Quotation.
Sources close to Lisandro's deal believe that the player's relationship with ten Hag will provide Manchester United with a more favorable situation than Arsenal, but the source also stressed that the Argentine is still open to joining Arsenal. Because he appreciates Arteta's ideas very much.
Lisandro is currently on vacation, but he is paying close attention to the development of the situation. The defender is now feeling relaxed, but he has made it clear that he hopes to go to the Premier League and will push for a transfer if things do not change.
On the surface, the competition is still open, and Arsenal still has a chance, but since Manchester United submitted its offer, to be honest, the competition has begun to heat up, and Gunners actually does not have an advantage. Let's analyze it in detail below.
Romano news, Manchester United's official offer for Lisandro is better than Arsenal's, but it is still not enough, and the Gunners are still in the race.
Manchester United are also pushing to reach a personal agreement with Lisandro, and Ten Hag is a key figure. Lisandro will ask Ajax to let him leave the team, and the player wants to go to the Premier League to develop.
So Romano also said in the latest news that Manchester United submitted an offer, and it was better than Arsenal's offer. In other words, it is impossible for Ajax to consider the Gunners' offer again. If Arteta wants to sign a profit, Sandro, the only way is to bid higher than Manchester United's current offer, at least...
But it is not clear whether Arsenal will continue to offer.
The Athletic reporters DO, JM and LW jointly issued an article. Arsenal is still continuing to pursue Lisandro, and the player's personal treatment will not be an issue. The question is which club can reach an agreement with Ajax on the transfer fee, and then Let’s see if Lisandro decides to join.
Judging from the news learned by TA, Manchester United seems to be the most promising team to sign Lisandro. The defender has played for Ten Hag for three years, but in general the Argentine has not yet made a decision final decision.
TA said that Ajax hopes to get a fee of 50 million euros, and negotiations will continue in the next few days. However, in fact, Manchester United and Arsenal have different positions on Lisandro: the Red Devils regard him as a choice for the central defender position. , the Gunners mainly regard him as a left-back (Arsenal are said to be see Martinez primarily as a left-back), and Arteta is currently continuing to promote the transaction.
Ok, we have basically finished reading the news about Lisandro, let’s briefly summarize:
First of all, the situation is very different from when the last news was released. Previously, Manchester United was only interested and contacted Lisandro. DeRo's agent, but there is no offer; but now, Manchester United has not only submitted an official offer, but Romano said that the offer is better than Arsenal's, then the situation is very serious for the Gunners, because it is no longer a question of whether It is not a question of convincing Ajax to accept Arsenal's offer, but whether Arsenal's offer can surpass Manchester United's. As long as there is a competitor, you must surpass him in terms of conditions.
So who is ahead, Arsenal or Manchester United?
Manchester United is obviously in the lead now. One is that their offer is higher. Furthermore, Manchester United still has an important bargaining chip: Ten Hag.
Objectively speaking, Arsenal has no advantage now. You have Europa League qualifications, Manchester United also has it, and you have the budget. Manchester United also has it. You have Arteta but they have Ten Hag... There is someone in the Premier League who knows better than Ten Hag. Lisandro's coach? I'm afraid not, so Arsenal doesn't have the advantage...
The bigger problem is that TA said that Manchester United regarded him as a central defender, while Arteta regarded him as a left back. Which position do you think Lisandro wants to play? After all, he mainly wanted to play as a central defender before, and he also played as a defensive midfielder under Ten Hag. Obviously Manchester United is more convincing.
However, if there is no agreement for one day, Arsenal will definitely have a chance. The same is true now. Arsenal has not given up and is still operating, but it is no longer so optimistic.
Last question: What does it mean if Arsenal really consider Lisandro as a left-back?
means that Arteta may want to replace Tierney. Of course, some friends may say that there are 5 substitutions in the new season, and the two can rotate. In theory, this is true, but Lisandro's transfer fee may be close to 50 million. In the long run, the position of a 50 million defender is definitely not a rotation. If he adapts to the Premier League, he may be the main force in the future, and then consider how to deal with Tierney. , that's the plan, otherwise buying Hickey would be enough.
The same is true for Rafinha. You can also say that there are 5 substitutions in the new season, but even if there are 10 substitutions, the main player will always be the main player. It is impossible to send you today and him tomorrow. The main player is Regardless of these, he will play until he can no longer play, and will only rest in unimportant cup matches.
So I think Arsenal are playing with fire. In fact, currently only Jesus and are urgently needed. Vieira with 40 million is not considered a rigid need. Neither is Raphinha. If Lisandro plays left back , of course, but whether it is necessary to spend 50 million is a question.
In fact, Arsenal thinks so too, otherwise wouldn’t they have spent 60 million and 50 million on Raphinha and Lisandro long ago? It shows that Arsenal also feels that this is too risky. After all, Saka and Tierney are the main players under normal circumstances...
Of course, Tierney's attendance is indeed worrying, and it is not unreasonable to buy someone to replace him, but This should not be the priority goal this summer. Arsenal have many areas that need to be strengthened. If you want to touch Tierney first, you are going too far...
Now that Hickey is gone, if Lisandro is replaced Manchester United intercept Hu, who should Arsenal buy? Could it be possible to wait until Manchester City signs Cucurella before buying Zinchenko?
Goal news, Arsenal was the first club to show interest in Rafinha, but now the Gunners have withdrawn from the battle. The source said that since Chelsea submitted an offer, Arsenal has not even made a deal with Deco Leading player team conversations.
However, Goal also pointed out that even if there is no dialogue at present, Arsenal has not ruled out the possibility of reopening negotiations with Rafinha in the future, especially since the current negotiation situation with Brazil and Barcelona and Chelsea is quite tense.
Raphinha's situation is currently like this: Barcelona submitted a new official offer, but Leeds United rejected it because this offer was not as good as Chelsea's offer.
Now Leeds United hopes that Rafinha will go to Chelsea (60 million pounds), but Raphinha and Deco hope to go to Barcelona and are waiting for Barcelona to continue to offer, so they are frozen.
Arsenal is actually more of a spectator now, and the participation is no longer strong, because the Gunners are neither Raphinha's first choice destination nor the team with the highest bid, so they can only wait for an accident to happen...
But I think it's basically hopeless.
reporter Sacha Tavolieri reported that Arsenal "met with Lille midfielder Amadou Onana's camp" and they have shown interest in the 20-year-old midfielder a long time ago.
However, the reporter also said that there are other Premier League clubs (more than one) from London who are interested in Onana.
Onana is 20 years old this year. He is a Belgian ( Senegalese dual nationality). He is 195cm tall. His contract expires in 2026. He plays as a defensive midfielder and can also play as a central defender.
is just a rumor for the time being, so I won’t say much, but I think Onana is a choice. He is a pure defensive midfielder, and he is young and worth cultivating.
My personal opinion is that Arsenal’s signing operation so far is not bad (not to mention the cleaning, it is a mess), but it is not enough, because the top four teams will only be stronger, and Manchester United is also strengthening. If Arsenal If Na does not strengthen its shortcomings, it will still not be able to qualify for the Champions League in the new season.
It doesn’t matter if we miss out on Rafinha and Lisandro, because they are both expensive. At this price, they should be the main players. I think Arsenal should steadily seek to introduce new left backs and defenders. Midfielder and a new striker (the best of both sides, somewhere between Jesus and Nketiah), that's what I think.
