I've said it before, Arsenal are looking the best team by far in the Premier League so far and I think they've got the best squad in the Premier League so far. They've got a lot of strength in depth and I think they've been the best, but also, it certainly wasn't the Champions League final that they've qualified to, it's the Carabao Cup final.

season, when Zubimendi was just starting to emerge in the first team. Straight away you see it the way he understands the game, how smart he is. His positioning without the ball, the way he wins it back he's not the biggest or the strongest, but he's so intelligent. It's amazing to play with him. He deserves all the credit he gets.

At just 18, Smilla Holmberg found herself at the European Championships, scoring against Germany and then standing over a decisive penalty with Sweden's tournament on the line. She missed, and Sweden were out. For many young players, that would linger. Instead, the Hammarby academy graduate continued shining at club level - something that ultimately earned her a move to Arsenal in January 2026.

Arsenal midfielder Mikel Merino may be a doubt for the rest of the club season and perhaps even the 2026 World Cup in the summer due to a mysterious injury. Gunners manager Mikel Arteta explained that Merino's injury is a rare one, so there's not a clear idea of when the Spain international will be back to fitness, though for the time being it is being treated as pretty serious.

I said to the club, they have to ask, definitely. I don't understand the reason why he cannot play in the final in March, when I have been here for a long time. The rules to buy a player depends on Fifa, Uefa, the Premier League who say, OK the transfer window is open, when you buy a player you have to play, no? It's logic. Of course we are going to try [for] him to play. Pure logic.

It feels amazing to join this special club,

Arsenal fans will surely be pleased with this smart bit of business, with Dixon joining for very cheap despite looking like someone whose value will surely increase a lot in the next few years. Jaden Dixon in action for Stoke City The teenager has shown huge potential at Stoke, and it makes sense that this was a deal Chelsea were also really keen on.
