Christian Norgaard signs, Madueke fee agreed + Trossard, Vieira | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning, it’s a busy Friday and a very warm Friday here in Dublin. There appears to be some wave of heat, not sure if there’s an official term for that, but it’s gonna get hot today. Not as hot as Arsenal’s transfer dealings. What a segue! First up, we announced the signing of Brentford’s captain, […]
New signing profile: Christian Norgaard | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Following the arrival of Martin Zubimendi, Arsenal continued their midfield rebuild with the signing of Brentford captain Christian Norgaard. But who is the Danish international, what will he bring to the side and why is he costing (up to) £12 million? Phil Costa reports. — Arsenal aren’t typically known for doing their transfer business in […]
Chaos | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Let me start out by saying I share a lot of the reservations many Arsenal fans have around the potential signing of Noni Madueke from Chelsea. There are some concerns that I do not share too. That he would join from Chelsea is, to me, a total irrelevance. In fact, as Chelsea increasingly buy dizzying […]
No-no to Noni? | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. After news emerged yesterday that Arsenal had made contact with Chelsea to thrash out a deal for Noni Madueke, it’s fair to say the reaction online was not great. It’s also fair to point out that reaction online is potentially an interesting barometer of fan opinion, but it can also simply be simply that: […]
Wednesday bits: Norgaard, Gyokeres, Mosquera, Heinze | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning all. It’s a day of snippets. First is that Christian Norgaard was at London Colney yesterday, presumably to finalise his deal. David Ornstein reported the signing was complete, so I guess it’s about photos and videos and seeing how he gets on with Win the Dog. There’ll be more to say about him as […]
Arsecast Extra Episode 647 - 07.07.2025 | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. Today’s Arsecast Extra comes in three parts. In the first, we chat about the confirmation of Martin Zubimendi’s transfer and what he’ll bring to the team; the big striker news as it appears Arsenal have decided to sign Viktor Gyokeres from […]
A Berta pick, an Arteta pick | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning all. After a flurry of news over the past couple of days, it was pretty quiet yesterday. The BBC report that Andrea Berta was in Lisbon late last week, which would go some way to explaining why there have been developments in the Viktor Gyokeres situation. Clearly, a decision had to be made at […]
New signing profile: Martin Zubimendi | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
After an injury-hit season saw the Gunners finish second again in the Premier League, Arsenal fought off major competition to secure the signing of Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi. But who is the Spaniard, what will he bring to the side and why is he costing £55 million? Phil Costa reports. — For many years, […]
Zubimendi official at last : A striker decision made ... at last | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Welcome to a brand new week. Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest, but yesterday was anything but. Firstly, Arsenal officially confirmed the signing of Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad. Events over the last few days meant the plan to do it last week had to be pushed back, but as we learned […]
Arsenal keep the Chelsea pipeline open with Madueke interest | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. A quick Sunday blog for you. Let’s start with news reported by David Ornstein that Arsenal have agreed personal terms with Chelsea winger Noni Madueke, but as yet no deal between the two clubs has been finalised. He’s a player we’ve been linked with over the last week or ten days, and it appears […]
A sad day for Tomiyasu : A dark day for Arsenal Football Club | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Good morning, this is going to be a tough blog to write today. I recognise the seriousness of it, but also that this isn’t going to be easy for some readers. If you don’t want the Thomas Partey news, you can stop halfway. I want to start with a player who I am genuinely sad […]
Episode 835 - Perspective | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined by Tim Stillman, and we begin with the sad news involving Liverpool forward Diogo Jota who, along with his brother, lost his life in a car accident in Spain. We then do our best to pivot to Arsenal discussion, […]
On Diogo Jota | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. A quick, early Friday blog for you. When, in yesterday’s blog, I posited a reason as to why Martin Zubimendi’s transfer might not be announced on Thursday, I never expected something as tragic as the death of a fellow player. Sadly, yesterday morning, news emerged that Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and his brother Andre […]
Live Forever | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
On Thursday morning I had a message from Andrew. We were due to record this week’s Arsecast at around 1pm. ‘I guess we’re going to have to talk about the Jota news,’ it read. I hadn’t been online for much of the morning so had no context. I immediately went to David Ornstein’s Twitter timeline. […]
Chloe day, Martin day + more striker stuff which makes little sense | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Well, turns out yesterday was not Martin Zubimendi day. It was Chloe Kelly day, as her re-signing for the club on a permanent basis was announced. I understand doing these things in isolation. If you make a big splash of a signing for Arsenal Women, and what a great signing btw, you don’t then overshadow […]
Kepa's arrival official + Eze moves into the concrete realm | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. Arsenal announced the first official signing of the summer yesterday, with Kepa Arrizabalaga’s move from Chelsea made official. We paid a £5m release clause which, for an experienced back-up goalkeeper with tons of Premier League experience, is about as good as you’ll get in this market. He’s 30 years old, still quite young in […]
Eze links grow as summer foundations get built | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. Over the weekend I wrote a bit about some vague interest in Eberechi Eze, a player I really like by the way, but I said it felt a bit unlikely. Well, yesterday that reporting became less vague, with various sources saying meetings between the player’s representatives took place – although there hasn’t been any […]
Arsecast Extra Episode 646 - 30.06.2025 | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. In this episode we chat about the latest transfer developments of the summer, with Christian Norgaard and Cristhian Mosquera both linked with moves to North London, as well as the lack of anything substantial with regards the big issue of the […]
Hugo Ekitike linked as a new week begins | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Good morning. A few Monday bits for you to kick off what I think might be a busy Arsenal week. It’s June 30th today, and that is the day player contracts typically expire. One of those contracts is Thomas Partey who, David Ornstein reports, will be leaving the club upon the expiration of his deal. […]
Sunday thoughts - Small dogs and music | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning, and happy Sunday to you all. There’s really nothing going on today. Ethan Nwaneri was a late sub in England U21s 3-2 final win over Germany in the European championships, so well done to him, and to Irish international Lee Carsley who is the man in charge there. Former young Gunners Brook Norton-Cuffy and […]
Eze is good, TV companies are bad | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning all. A very quick Saturday blog for you. After a flurry of news over the last couple of days, things have quietened down. The name of Eberechi Eze has popped up a few times in the last 48 hours, and that’s certainly an interesting link – even if there’s nothing to suggest anything more […]
The Arsenal midfield | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
The base of the Arsenal midfield was always set to undergo a face lift this summer. Thomas Partey is 32 and Jorginho 33, Jorginho played 311 Premier League minutes after Christmas and his move to Flamengo was widely reported some months before his departure. Likewise, Arsenal’s capture of Martin Zubimendi was reported some months before […]
MLS signs his contract + The Arsenal transfer cake | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
What the hell did I say about nothing happening? Let’s start this morning with confirmation of Myles Lewis-Skelly’s new contract, which arrived yesterday. Not a surprise, by any means, but it’s nice to have it official, and there’s no question he deserves it. He had a breakthrough season last time out, and a new 5 […]
Episode 834 - A losing team | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined by Lewis Ambrose to discuss the news of Arsenal’s interest in Christian Norgaard, what it might mean for the midfield when added to the imminent arrival of Martin Zubimendi, as well as the announcement of Myles Lewis-Skelly’s new contract. […]
Norgaard in, Partey out? | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning all. Wherever you are in the world, I hope you’re doing ok today. Perhaps I should write more blogs about nothing happening, because I did that yesterday and then stuff happened. I can’t really take the credit for that, it’s just coincidence, but on the off-chance I was bitten by a radioactive spider on […]
The Hunger | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning all. Sorry it’s a bit later than usual this morning, but I had a lie-in. Not on purpose, I think I did that thing where the alarm goes off and you just stick out a hand and somehow, despite the fact you’ve got no recollection of doing it, you hit stop rather than snooze. […]
Wildcards | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning all. I’m going to try and get through today’s blog without mentioning that Big lad from Sweden who plays in Portugal, and the big lad from Slovenia who currently resides in Leipzig. Unfortunately they are the only two strikers in the world and the only two strikers Arsenal are interested in. Or, are they? […]
Arsecast Extra Episode 645 - 23.06.2025 | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. In this episode we chat about Martin Zubimendi being in London, as well as the reporting on transfers, in particular when it comes to those two strikers whose names don’t need to mentioned because everyone knows who they are. Will any […]
The summer of chaff | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning all. After a couple of weeks of travelling it’s time to get my head back in the game. Things are gonna start heating up now. I can feel it in my bones. It’s June 23rd, mark my words, with just 7 days until July, when we’ll be able to officially announce Martin Zubimendi even […]
Some congratulations | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning all. If you’ll forgive me today, this is going to be a bit quick and light on Arsenal news (what news?). There’s only so many ‘Hey, I wonder when Martin Zubimendi will be announced?’ blogs one person can write. I’ve mentioned over the last couple of days that I’ve been in London, and beyond […]
Saturday round-up: Zubi do? Zubi done more like ... | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
A very good morning from a sweltering London, and here’s a quick Saturday blog for you. The news that Martin Zubimendi was in town yesterday to complete the formalities of his transfer from Real Sociedad leaked out, with some suggestions the deal could have been announced on Friday. That was at odds with what we’ve […]
Friday round-up: Zubimendi, Madueke, Berta's selling skills | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning, a quick Friday blog for you. I’ve seen via socials that Fabrizio Romano has given the Martin Zubimendi signing a ‘Here we go!’, which might suggest something is imminent there. We had heard about Real Sociedad wanting the deal to go through in July for accounting purposes, which made sense from their perspective, but […]
Getting with the programme | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
I started going to Arsenal in 1992. My obsession with football blossomed very quickly, I was from a big football family and it was very much in my blood. Like a lot of neurodivergent people (I am dyspraxic which qualifies me as neurodiverse; but I don’t experience it as profoundly as many with ASDs do) […]
Arsecast Extra Episode 644 - 18.06.2025 | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. In this episode we’re back from holidays to talk about all the nothing that has gone on in the last week. Arsenal are still interested in Victor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko, but with no ‘concrete’ developments – not even in the […]
Focus on fixtures : MLS contract : French midfielder linked | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Good morning. Let’s start with the Premier League fixtures which were released yesterday, handing Arsenal what looks like a pretty tough start on paper. We begin away at Old Trafford, our first home game is against newly promoted Leeds, and we also face Liverpool, Man City, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest in our first six fixtures. […]
Back from holidays : Plates : Fixtures : Coaches | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Hello again! I’m back from Barcelona, and I had a very nice time in a city I love a lot. The first thing to do is thank Andrew, Lewis, and Tim, for keeping the blog going in my absence. I always enjoy reading it when I’m away, and the main thing I’ve gleaned from those […]
Lack of noise, no lack of action & two months is an eternity | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
As much as I hate to be the bearer of bad news, Andrew actually isn’t back until tomorrow, so I’m back in the chair for one last dance today. I’ll just give you a moment to roll your eyes and let the disappointment sink in. OK, come to terms with things? Good. Let’s crack on. […]
The cricket(s) season | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Good morning all, Tim here with the last ‘supply teacher’ Arseblog before Andrew returns from holiday tomorrow. Luckily, loads and loads and loads has transpired since I spoke to you yesterday. Such as…. This pre-season I am trying to stay off Twitter as much as possible but every time I do open that creaky door […]
Assessing | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Good morning Arse folk, Tim here taking over the reins today and tomorrow. Well, I’m just lovely, thanks for asking, and you? We will start this morning with the news, brought to us by transfer information dealer Fabrizio Romano, that ‘Viktor Gyökeres’ priority is to join Arsenal this summer despite calls from Manchester United in […]
Wet Hot American Summer ... but not for Arsenal! | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Good morning and a happy weekend! The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and my daughter just about allowed me to get enough sleep for me to hopefully commit the metaphorical pen to paper this morning. Let’s see if I can write down anything that actually makes sense. That annoying humming you can hear […]
