All the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding Arsenal as they turn their attention to a date with Ipswich Town.
Mikel Arteta’s men were excellent against the Eagles, but they do look to have lost Bukayo Saka to a hamstring injury. As preparations begin for the Ipswich clash, we have rounded up all the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding the Emirates Stadium.
Koundé links
Arsenal are reportedly considering an offer for Barcelona star Jules Koundé, According to Caught Offside, Koundé could be on the move in 2025, with Barcelona needing to offload a player or two to ease financial concerns, especially as they look to sign Nico Williams next summer.
The report claims Arsenal may be willing to pay up to £62million to land Koundé, who is able to play across the back-line, both at centre-back and full-back. The question is whether Arsenal would be willing to spend to much to improve the back-line when they have greater needs at the top end of the pitch.
Neville on title race
Pundit Gary Neville has issued his verdict on the title race, believing Arsenal could yet ‘close the gap’, even if Liverpool are clear favourites.Neville said on the Sky Sports podcast: “Liverpool are clearly the best team in the Premier League at this moment in time. They’re the clear favourites for the title. Man City’s drop-off has been spectacular, I’m not sure anyone really knows how it’s gone so badly wrong.
“Chelsea had a tough game today but they’re doing well and having a good season. I think the one team Liverpool need to watch are Arsenal if they can get their tail up and close that gap going in March and April. But at this moment in time Liverpool are clear favourites. I think the biggest risk for them is injuries – if they were to lose Van Dijk and Salah that would hurt them.
“Van Dijk is like Rodri for Liverpool, he holds it all together. Keeping him fit is absolutely crucial. There’s some big challenges coming up so we’re nowhere near the point that you can hand Liverpool the title but they’re in a great position and at this moment in time they’re by far the best team in the league and the table tells us that.”
