William Saliba’s heroics at Euro 2024 are a source of pride for Arsenal, but they could also lead to the loss of the defender.

The Frenchman is beginning to find the consistency he lacked on the international stage, and he could potentially win Euro 2024.

France has kept four clean sheets in the competition and has reached the semi-finals.

His form has not gone unnoticed, with a report on Fichajes claiming Real Madrid is interested in signing him.

Real Madrid is seeking the world’s best players and looking for defenders who will outlast the likes of Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba, making Saliba a perfect target.

Tottenham has dropped out of the race for Nico Williams, giving Arsenal a chance to sign the attacker.

Top clubs in the Premier League and Europe are interested in adding Williams to their squad after his stunning performance at Euro 2024.

The youngster has been showcasing his talents for Athletic Bilbao over the years and continues to prove he could be an important player for a top club.

Williams insists he is happy at his current club, but that hasn’t stopped interest in his signature.

Most people believe he will change clubs due to the high level of interest, and Tottenham was one of the clubs that wanted to sign him ahead of Arsenal.

Arsenal remains interested in signing Raphinha, according to a report on Team Talk, and they could make a move for him soon.

The Gunners have been tracking Raphinha since his time at Leeds United in the Premier League, and they previously attempted to sign him before he moved to Barcelona.

At Barcelona, Raphinha has been one of several attackers who have not consistently met expectations.

While Barcelona still value him as an important player, they might consider his departure, and Arsenal has shown interest.

The report suggests that Mikel Arteta’s side is open to proposing a swap deal, potentially involving Eddie Nketiah moving to Barcelona.

William Saliba has been unstoppable for France at Euro 2024, carrying his Arsenal form onto the international stage.

Before Euro 2024, there were question marks over his ability to replicate his Arsenal form for the national team.

He had tried but failed to convince France manager Didier Deschamps over several years.

However, his manager trusted him to start at the Euros, and he has been terrific so far.

Saliba has had many impressive performances in the competition, with the latest being in their quarterfinal match against Portugal. Les Bleus have struggled to score goals, but thanks to Saliba, they have been rock-solid at the back.

Arsenal has agreed to sell Mika Biereth to Sturm Graz after his impressive loan spell at the Austrian club last season.

The 21-year-old, a product of the Arsenal youth system, represented the club well during his short stint in Austria.

His performances were so good that the Austrian Bundesliga side could not allow him to leave.

After he returned to the Emirates, Sturm Graz immediately signalled their interest in making him a permanent member of their squad.

Although he attracted interest from other English clubs, the Austrians applied a lot of pressure and have now secured a deal with Arsenal.

Arsenal is one of several Premier League clubs aiming to tap into the USA market as football becomes more popular in the North American country.

Traditionally, football has lagged behind basketball and baseball in the United States, but the sport is gaining more followers.

The US is one of the countries hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will encourage more Americans to follow the sport.

There are almost 4 million Arsenal fans in the United States whom the Gunners are not fully connecting with, according to Football Insider. They are making plans to generate revenue from this following.

The report claims that in the next two years, the Gunners could make as much as £54.7 million from exploiting their following in the States, and they are making plans to seriously tap into that market.

Mikel Arteta has been following Euro 2024 closely, with many of his players involved in the competition.

Arsenal still has several players in the tournament, as some nations have already reached the semi-finals.

The Gunners have at least two players in the England squad, and both of them are starters.

It has not been an impressive competition for the England national team, as the Three Lions have struggled to impress most fans and neutrals.

Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka have been key players in all their games, and Arteta has watched them struggle.

Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher believes Declan Rice is one of the top five midfielders in the world.

The Arsenal star has been in fantastic form since he moved to the Emirates and remains a key player for the England national team.

He is one of the players the Three Lions are counting on to help them win Euro 2024, and Gallagher has been his midfield partner for at least one game in the competition.

While his midfield partners keep changing, Rice has remained ever-present in the England team, and most people believe he is irreplaceable.

Gallagher recently spoke about the former West Ham captain and was asked to rank Rice among the best midfielders in the world.

He said, as quoted by Metro Sport:

We’ve had Sven, Capello, McClaren and Hodgson come before him - so how will we remember Gareth Southgate? Marcus, Luke and Andy wonder why the English public keep saying the same things about England over the years, and whether winning a tournament would actually change anything.

Elsewhere in less soul-searching, heartfelt matters, we work out who we’d support if/when England get knocked out and decide which country has the best food to be armed with going into battle. A Toblerone vs a can of beans is a battle for the ages…

It’s business time. And up yours, England are still in the mix. Marcus, Luke and Jim are joined by Andy – fresh back from Germany – to preview the knockouts and discuss our favourites for the tournament now we know what (the incredibly unbalanced) draw looks like.

Plus, Gareth Southgate is to blame for bad Guinness, Anthony Gordon flies over the handlebars of his bike rather than down the wing, and there’s mosquitoes in the Germany camp and – wait for it – Italian spies up Stuttgart's TV tower. But disgracefully, European football ‘expert’ Andy doesn’t know a thing about it.

Goodbye to the group stages! And it finished with a magnificent day for Georgia, a terrible day for António Silva, and a reminder for Pete Donaldson that Cenk Tosun exists.

Pete, Jim and Vish discuss the final round of group stage sparring before the knockouts, with a sensational display from Georgia who are rapidly becoming our favourite team. Plus, Czech Republic and Turkey ruin everyone’s Ramble predictions for number of cards at the tournament in one fell swoop and there’s quite literally an electric atmosphere in the Romania vs Slovakia game. Kevin De Bruyne and co could have done with a bit of that, too…

Somehow, England have finished top of their group. And somehow, they’re in the best side of the draw. The plan worked!

Marcus, Luke, Vish and Pete react to a drab 0-0 that saw no big changes from the previous game and leaves them thinking there are bigger problems with England’s front line. At least we can cling to Anthony Gordon and Cole Palmer. Oh, and we can still enjoy a nice glass of Budweiser with Geoff Hurst, of course.

Plus, a former Romanian international has a conspiracy theory and the departing Scotland team get an unwelcome Bavarian surprise.

Italy left it very late to secure 2nd place in their group against Croatia last night. Today, Marcus, Jim, Pete and Vish are here to dissect the key talking point from the game: Was Luciano Spalletti wearing a jacket or a cardigan?

Elsewhere, Pete upsets the Italians further by calling pizza cheese on toast. Plus, the Ramblers pay tribute to the amazing Luka Modrić and share their thoughts on what they want to see from England tonight.

Jeezy peeps, man. Marcus, Vish and Luke are here to perform the Scottish post-mortem after they were knocked out in the same underwhelming fashion that reflected their whole tournament. At least they’ve still got the Nations League!

Elsewhere, the Germans survive an almighty scare while Harry Kane and Mark Lawrenson battle the mainstream media - to vastly differing outcomes, we *must* stress.

England fans are being told that the players are struggling physically so they can’t play at the desired intensity. Did they watch 41-year-old Pepe play last night?

Today, Marcus, Jim and Vish are here to wave a sad goodbye to 2pm kick-offs, they served us well! They also show concern that Belgium seem to have hit their straps. Plus, the lads are joined by Andy to question him on whether he ran on the pitch during Turkey vs Portugal.

What happens when you put two English referees on one of the most exciting clashes of the group stages? A 0-0 draw. That’s what PGMOL do to ya.

Marcus, Luke and Vish react to France drawing a blank against the Dutch, while Andy shares his experience of the atmosphere in the stadium but fails to pronounce buffet correctly. Plus, they discuss Austria’s slick team performance against Poland thanks to the great Specs himself, which has left the lads worried that Austria could literally press England into their own net. But – fear not – a Serbian psychic has predicted everything will be okay...

Elsewhere, there are fresh revelations about our new favourite footballer Serjio Robert Livingstone Pohlhammer and Pete gets a new nickname.

Need a comforting embrace from Marcus, Luke and Vish? Bring it in. Ignore all the nervous sweat.

The lads discuss England’s messy draw with Denmark and figure out what needs to happen next as Trent Alexander-Arnold (probably) exits the midfield, Jude Bellingham goes full Alan Pardew, and the left wing remains completely empty. 

Plus, we discuss our respective icks after Italy’s most handsome man scores an own goal and Marcus discovers the best ever name in football. Plus, we relive a terrible few minutes for Chris Sutton in 1998. You’ve got to cheer yourself up somehow, right?
