Arsenal

A look at some of the players Arsenal could sign for absolutely nothing in the summer transfer window as their contracts come to an end.

But after spending so much already, Edu and co. A player that has been constantly linked with a move to Arsenal, and indeed the rest of the Premier League elite, Kessie is set to leave AC Milan this summer, but his destination remains unclear. However, there is still much work to be done if the Gunners are to compete with the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool, so more signings will be required in the summer to continue Arteta’s project.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang already has his first hat-trick since leaving Arsenal in January. Well, kind of. The Gabon international scored twice for ...

Barcelona are now fourth in La Liga and if the legendary striker fires the Camp Nou club into Europe’s elite competition, and Arsenal miss out, well it’ll be a terrible reflection on Arteta and one that his superiors in North London might not overlook. And if Arteta’s outfit do come up short, it’s more than likely going to be through a lack of goals, the like of which Aubameyang is probably going to score for fun over in Spain between now and May. That’s because if Aubameyang keeps scoring – and it’s entirely possible that he will – and if the Gunners’ lack of a striker ultimately costs them Champions League qualification come May, the Spanish coach could and possibly should find himself out of the job this summer.

Odegaard has become an increasingly important player for the Gunners as they aim to end a five-year Champions League exile.

And then he had to fulfil that in a club like Madrid where the competition is like it is. “It is extremely difficult but now he has found his place. “He wanted to be part of the project. “He has still a big margin. “He generated expectations when he was 16 as well. The club was brilliant to secure him in a really convincing way.

ARSENAL star Gabriel Martinelli is back available for this week's clash with Wolves at the Emirates.

But it could turn out to be one of the best decisions of Arteta's reign so far. But if Martinelli can prove he has a future in that position, that could give the Gunners a different solution. He has played in that position previously but struggled in his last appearance there against Chelsea on the second day of the season. But if the Spaniard is bold, he could be able to shoehorn all his young talent in the same XI. Lacazette is set to leave in the summer when his contract comes to an end. But you need your striker to score goals too and now could be the time to give Martinelli that chance.

Arsenal edged past Brentford at the weekend but their strikers blanked again - on the same weekend that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang plundered a hat-trick for ...

And in addition to that, the Gunners' former talisman is still managing to cast a shadow over his former boss from overseas. Join the debate! The Arsenal chief came under fire after the club failed to strengthen their squad in January, with some even claiming that their failure to add extra firepower to their squad could prove terminal to their hopes of ending a multi-year exile from the Champions League.

BARCELONA won 4-1 at Valencia in La Liga on Sunday and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was the star of the show...

He scored a wide range of goals - from the sublime to fortunate - at the Mestalla, a hallmark of a top-class centre-forward. La Liga's dubious goals panel have since awarded Aubameyang the goal, meaning it was a hat-trick for the Gabon international on his first start in his new colours.
