Kieran Tierney could be useful in helping Arsenal sign Declan Rice. But how so?

Oleksander Zinchenko has really changed the dynamics of Arsenal’s style of play. The way the Ukrainian international covers the left back, the midfield, and leads the attack has him undroppable, which has left Kieran Tierney warming the bench.

Slowly, it is starting to seem like Kieran Tierney is in his last months at Arsenal. In fact, Football Insider insists that Arsenal have a £30 million price on his head, saying they will be willing to cash in on the Scottish titan.

Arsenal reportedly need to raise a huge amount to convince West Ham to sell them Declan Rice, and they see Tierney as a reasonable sale in that endeavour. Football Insider writes, “With the Gunners planning to spend big on a new midfielder in the summer, with Declan Rice also a top target, there will need to be sales to balance the books.

“One player who could raise a significant fee is Tierney, the deputy left-back squeezed out by the excellent form of 2022 signing Aleksandr Zinchenko.”

The post Should Arsenal take Wilf Zaha on a free transfer this summer? appeared first on Just Arsenal News.

Gabri Veiga is the latest Spanish youngster that is catching top European clubs’ attention.

The midfielder plays for Celta Vigo and has done well since he broke into their first team, which has made him ripe for a move to a top club.

Arsenal has received glowing reports about his progress and the Gunners reportedly have him on their shortlist of summer targets.

However, they are not alone and a report on Todofichajes reveals Real Madrid also wants him.

The Whites want to sign Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund at the end of this season, but it is not an easy piece of business to conduct.

Ruben Neves has been on Arsenal’s radar for a long time as one of the Premier League’s top midfielders and the Portuguese star could finally leave Wolves in the summer.

Arsenal has continued to improve its squad and might add a new midfielder to it when the transfer window reopens.

Football Espana reveals the Gunners remain keen and will attempt to add him to their squad at the end of this season.

However, Mikel Arteta’s men face competition from Barcelona to achieve that, with Todofichajes revealing the Catalans are also keen to replace Sergio Busquets with the Premier League star.

It claims his agent Jorge Mendes also favours a move to Barca and is working on getting the Spaniards to add him to their squad.

Arsenal has been handed a major blow ahead of the summer transfer window as Moises Caicedo has extended his contract with Brighton.

The Gunners targeted the midfielder in the January window and he even penned an open letter to his current employers to let him leave.

However, the Seagulls turned down the offers and Arsenal gave up the chase and moved for Jorginho instead.

The league leaders are expected to target more players in the summer and some reports suggest they will return for the Ecuadorian.

Having almost lost the midfielder in January, Brighton has moved to secure his future, with The Sun reporting that he has signed a new deal until 2027 with the Seagulls.

Despite Arsenal’s form and their prominent contributions, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Magalhaes haven’t been called up by Brazil in their latest squad.

The South American nation is now being managed on an interim basis by their U20 coach Ramon Menezes and he will oversee their next few games before a permanent coach is appointed.

Having missed out on a place in the World Cup squad, Gabriel has been a key member of the Arsenal defence that could win the Premier League this season.

However, the defender has been ignored alongside Martinelli, with the coach naming a youthful side that includes Chelsea’s new boy Andrey Santos, 18 and Arsenal target Vitor Roque, 18, as the Daily Mail reports.

Just Arsenal Opinion

Arsenal have clinched the 3-2 win deep into injury time against Bournemouth, coming back from a 2-0 deficit.

It couldn’t have been a worse start for the Gunners, with Phillip Billing scoring within 10 seconds of the kick-off. The second quickest goal in Premier League history came three touches from kick-off, with the ball played wide before being played into the heart of the Arsenal goal, with our defenders failing to clear before if fell to Billing to place home.

The game quickly became one-way traffic, with our side having to overcome a Burnley-style low block, but we were unable to find the space in the box to make our possession pay in the opening half.

Leandro Trossard was an early casualty, with Emile Smith Rowe coming on to replace him which gave our fans mixed emotions, but the latter’s display wasn’t the dream return we had hoped for, and he was later replaced by Reiss Nelson.

After the break, the game came to life when we conceded our second of the game thanks to a Senesi header, but we hit back almost immediately through Thomas Partey, and another five minutes later and we were on level terms, with 20 minutes remaining on the clock to chase all three points.

Arsenal clinched all three points against Bournemouth after Reiss Nelson scored deep into injury time this afternoon.

We trailed 2-0 on the hourmark thanks to a goal in each half from the Cherries, but Thomas Partey and Ben White put us right back into the game.

Just as we looked to be settling for a draw however, with more than the six added minutes having been played, Nelson came up with the goods.

Reiss Nelson wins it for Arsenal with the last attack of the game.

Ben White has opened his account for Arsenal midway through the second half of their clash with Bournemouth, and we now have our eyes set on the three points.

We were 2-0 down just 10 minutes ago, but now find ourselves at 2-2 with 20 minutes of action still to play, and White’s first Gunners goal could well be huge in regards to our season.

Arsenal and Bournemouth have both scored in quick succession to leave Arsenal trailing 2-1 at the Emirates this afternoon.

The Gunners were hit almost immediately by the opening goal, with the Cherries opening the scoring inside the opening 10 seconds, and they held onto that lead until the break.

They then doubled their lead just before the hourmark, but Thomas Partey has brought us back to the initial one-goal deficit.

Marcus, Luke and Andy react to an electric night at Old Trafford! And that was just because of Erik ten Hag’s roll neck.

We also contemplate buying a dog that might excrete Carabao Cup final tickets and begin to engineer Jose Mourinho’s return to Chelsea via Andy’s mates at The One Show.

Marcus and Luke check in with prickly Pep after his Man City side played quite well… for a bit? To be fair, they did concede to a fishmonger’s son.

We also have to ask the dreaded question after Liverpool were hammered by Real Madrid on Tuesday: is Jürgen Klopp’s time on Merseyside finally up?

Join Marcus, Luke and Pete for a look back at modern football’s definitive double act and a doomed journey neither of them were suited to in any shape or form. It’s Gary and Phil Neville’s time in the dugout!

Gary’s since confessed he had no right to get that ill-fated Valencia gig - managing his brother directly - while Phil only got the Inter Miami job after spying Becks’ text in the lads’ WhatsApp group. We assess their regular failures at home with England and abroad, all while Gary lines up the top job at Qatari-owned Man United and Phil reminds us to steer clear of Miami Beach.

Three defeats on the spin have got the vultures circling in Paris. But who’s under threat?

Dotun and Andy are joined by Jonathan Johnson to answer that question, as PSG suffer yet another disappointing night in the Champions League and look increasingly dependent on a striker who could leave at any moment. But the club that could pinch him don’t look ready to part with their striker either - we discuss Real’s own dependence on Karim Benzema as contract talks stall. Plus, how have Dortmund become less… Dortmund-y?!
