Here is a roundup of the top Arsenal news, gossip and transfer latest from icfootballnews featuring the likes of Breno Bidon, Liam Rosenior and Tino Livramento that you guys could have missed…
Newcastle United defender Tino Livramento could be open to a summer move, with reported interest from the Toons Rivals including Chelsea and Arsenal, according to transfer claims from The TelegraphARSENAL. Chelsea were mentioned as potential suitors in the Teamtalk piece, while wider rumour mill coverage in recent transfer windows has linked Manchester City and Arsenal with interest as well — though those links have varied in strength through different reports.
Opinion: Where Should Livramento Go?
If Livramento does depart Newcastle this summer, the decision over his next club will be pivotal for his career trajectory. A move to Chelsea could offer Premier League visibility and a chance to cement himself as a key part of a rebuilding side under new leadership.
Stamford Bridge might suit him tactically, and the opportunity to return to one of his former clubs could have emotional appeal. However, Chelsea’s defensive options are volatile, and competition for places could be fierce.
ARSENAL have one of the best defences in Europe and Mikel Arteta knows that he needs to sign players that will immediately challenge the stars that he already has in the side.
Staying at Newcastle may yet be the most sensible option for consistent first-team football and personal development under Eddie Howe. Newcastle’s recent push for European football and their project in the Premier League can provide both stability and competitive matches.
If he leaves, Livramento must be guaranteed regular minutes — otherwise he risks stagnation. A move abroad might also suit his development, but for now a stay at Newcastle or a carefully selected move to a club where he plays week in, week out looks like the best path for long-term growth at this stage of his career.
ARSENAL BEST IN WORLD CLAIM
Blues boss Liam Rosenior admitted Arsenal were ‘the best team in the world from set plays’ after Chelsea’s ‘really frustrating’ defeat at the Emirates Stadium at the weekend which left the Gunners five points clear at the top
Chelsea’s hopes of qualifying for next season’s Champions League were dealt another blow as the Blues were beaten 2-1 on Sunday after William Saliba nodded Arsenal in front midway through the first half before CHELSEA equalised just before the interval through a Piero Hincapie own goal.
Chelsea were gaining control in the second half before ARSENAL went back ahead, Jurrien Timber heading home from another Declan Rice corner, and in the end, that goal from the French star turned out to be the winning strike in order for the Gunners to open their gap over Manchester City once more.
Rosenior described the defeat as ‘really frustrating’ as Chelsea dropped points for the third Premier League game in a row to slip to sixth in the table: ‘It’s been the same story for the last three games,’ Rosenior said. ‘You have performances to get results and it is the same story. We were in the ascendancy for all three games.
‘We are together because what I never do whether we win or lose games is start pointing fingers at players. But it is clear what we need to improve.
‘It is not our football or attacking play, we need to make sure we are ruthless in both boxes.
‘To concede two goals from corners and get another red card, that has been the story of our season. It has been the story of the last few games.’
Discussing *ARSENAL*’s threat from set-pieces, Rosenior added: ‘The first goal is top. Arsenal are probably the best team in the world from set plays. If you don’t think we’ve spent all week working on set plays, you would be crazy not to. But the second one is disappointing, we just have to deal with that better.
‘We have to be stronger, we have to have a better mentality. We gave a free-kick away and then we gave a corner away when we were in control from a sloppy moment.
‘We need to win games of football and we need to solve that before Aston Villa.’
BIDON WANTS BIG MOVE
Corinthians starlet Breno Bidon has reportedly told the likes of ARSENAL that he would like a move to European football at the end of the season, amid the many reports on the Daily Mirror that the Gunners are very interested in a move.
Bidon, who came through the Corinthians academy and has quickly established himself as a first-team regular, has been linked with a transfer to Europe for several months. Arsenal have been credited with early interest — registering exploratory talks and long-term scouting attention — while Chelsea are understood to be preparing a bid of their own after identifying the player as a key target as their squad evolves.
According to recent coverage, the Corinthians midfielder “dreams” of playing in Europe — a sentiment he openly shared in comments to Brazilian media, where he also expressed a long-held ambition to compete in the UEFA Champions League. Corinthians reportedly declined approaches for his signature in the January window, but sources suggest that the club anticipates renewed and more serious negotiations once the summer transfer window opens.
He told TNT Sports Brazil: “It has been a dream since I was a kid – to play in Europe, to play in the Champions League, to play in a World Cup It has been a dream since I was young. I do have that desire. I do not know when the moment will come, but I do have that desire to play abroad.”
Bidon’s contract in Brazil runs until late 2029, and Corinthians are believed to be seeking a substantial fee for their homegrown talent, with figures in the €35m–€40m range being mooted as necessary to tempt the São Paulo giants into a sale.
The midfielder has already amassed more than 100 appearances for Corinthians in all competitions, showcasing impressive maturity and versatility in central midfield. Although yet to earn a senior Brazil cap, Bidon has featured for his country at under-20 level and was part of the squad that claimed the South American U-20 Championship, underlining his potential on the international stage.
Is Bidon ready for a move to the Premier League?
Whether Bidon is ready for a move to one of Europe’s top leagues remains a subject of debate among pundits. Supporters point to his technical skill, vision, and experience in a competitive Brazilian Série A as evidence he can immediately contribute at a higher level, even if adaptation to the physical and tactical demands of the Premier League could take time.
For ARSENAL and Chelsea, bids for Bidon would represent a longer-term strategic investment: the Gunners seeking to further refresh their midfield ranks, and the Blues aiming to add youthful creativity and future resale value.
The summer could see one of Brazilian football’s most exciting prospects finally make the leap to European football.
