by Philippa Kaur 28 June 2022, 16:12
ARSENAL fans are in store for a treat this year with the release of their All Or Nothing documentary.The critically-acclaimed series will show behind the scenes footage of what has already been a memorable 2021/22 season – from the Nottingham Forest humbling to the departure of ex-captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The likes of Man City, Tottenham, Bayern Munich and Juventus have all had the fly-on-the-wall style docuseries track their progress for a season.
And Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has suggested it may even be “too much” for some players.
Henry, 44, told Prime Video: “For the fans it’s amazing to see what is happening behind closed doors.
“For some players it may be too much.
“But I think it’s good for people on the outside to have an insight.

‘AGREE’ Jesus fee, Arteta ‘in love with’ Raphinha, Tielemans lates
After exploding on to the scene, most famously stealing the show against Xavi and Andres Iniesta in a Champions League tie against Barcelona, it all went down hill pretty quickly.
Injuries plagued Jack, who had to have surgery on knee and ankle problems, while also spending 247-days on the sidelines with a hairline crack in his calf bone.
After a loan spell at Bournemouth, he left Arsenal for good and joined boyhood club West Ham.
However, from 2018-20 he made just 19 appearances for the Irons and struggled for fitness.

In January 2021, he rejoined Bournemouth to play in the Championship, but was released at the end of that season.
He most recently played 14 games for Danish side Aarhus, and will be a free agent again aged 30 when his contract expires next week.

AARON RAMSEY
THE pick of the bunch, in terms of being an Arsenal hero, Ramsey will always have a special place in the hearts of Gunners fans.
In 2014, he ended the club’s nine-year trophy drought by scoring an extra-time winner in a FA Cup final win over Hull.
Three years later he repeated the trick – netting the decisive goal in a 2-1 win over Chelsea at Wembley.
All in all he scored 64 goals in 369 games, until in 2019 Ramsey was allowed to join Juventus when his contract expired.
He signed a mega £400,000-per-week deal with the Serie A giants, but in truth has been a major disappointment – with injures curtailing his progress.
Ramsey, now 31, spent the second half of last season on loan at Rangers – struggling to make an impact before unfortunately missing the crucial penalty in the Europa League final shootout against Eintracht Frankfurt.
He does have a World Cup to look forward to, however, having helped Wales qualify for Qatar.

CARL JENKINSON
JENKINSON and his family were Arsenal fans growing up.
The right-back even has a stone engraved in his late granddad’s memory in Armoury Square outside the Emirates.
So it was a dream for him to wear the red and white, which he did for 70 games.
However, Jenkinson always found himself playing second-fiddle in the first team. First, it was Bacary Sagna and then Hector Bellerin emerged.
‘Jenko’ had successful loan spells with West Ham, but he struggled after moving to Birmingham City (also on loan) in the 2017-18 season.
In 2019, Nottingham Forest signed the defender for an undisclosed fee, but the 30-year-old has been released after spending time on loan at Melbourne City last season.

ALEX OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN
THE youngest of Wenger’s ‘British core’ at 28, the Ox was hit-and-miss with Gunners fans.
The £12million signing from Southampton looked like he was going to be a world-beater in his first season – drawing plaudits from Marco van Basten who called him a “gem”.
He was also nominated for PFA Young Player of the Year in the 2011-12 season.
Niggling injuries plagued him over the course of the next two seasons, while a serious knee injury in 2016 saw him miss the Euros for England.
Oxlade-Chamberlain appeared to be back to his best in the 2016-17 season in a new wing-back role, and was man of the match in a FA Cup semi-final win over Manchester City.

But that summer, Arsenal accepted a £35million bid from Liverpool for his services.
Towards the latter end of his first season, the Ox suffered a serious knee injury that kept him out of action for the majority of the 2018-19 campaign.
He returned to win a Premier League winners’ medal a season later. But the following August he injured his knee again.
Oxlade-Chamberlain remains at Anfield, albeit as a bit-part player – starting only nine Prem games last season.
KIERAN GIBBS
GIBBS broke into the Arsenal side in 2011-12, and for the next two seasons was a first team regular.
The left-back won three FA Cups with the club, although he lost his starting place to Spanish defender Nacho Monreal in the 2015-16 season.
In 2017, the former Wimbledon youth star made the brave decision to leave North London for regular first team football at West Brom in a £7million deal.
He was relegated in his first season with the Baggies, but helped them win promotion two seasons later.
Upon the expiry of his Hawthorns contract in 2021, Gibbs opted to move Stateside with David Beckham’s Inter Miami.
He has since made 17 appearances for the MLS strugglers.

by Philippa Kaur 20 June 2022, 15:26
ARSENAL fans are in store for a treat this year with the release of their All Or Nothing documentary.The critically-acclaimed series will show behind the scenes footage of what has already been a memorable 2021/22 season – from the Nottingham Forest humbling to the departure of ex-captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang lost the captaincy in controversial circumstances
The likes of Man City, Tottenham, Bayern Munich and Juventus have all had the fly-on-the-wall style docuseries track their progress for a season.
And Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has suggested it may even be “too much” for some players.
Henry, 44, told Prime Video: “For the fans it’s amazing to see what is happening behind closed doors.
“For some players it may be too much.
“But I think it’s good for people on the outside to have an insight.

20 best football kits of all time, including Arsenal’s bruised banana, England’s 1966 strip and Nigeria’s 2018 design
by Philippa Kaur 2 June 2022, 10:00
CLASSIC football shirts are fashionable.Last summer, Euro 2020 fever gripped the nation, as millions of football fans rocked their favourite retro jerseys.
Are any of these three classic kits crowned the best ever?
And this season, up and down the country in the Premier League, we’ve seen fans in stands rocking old school jerseys of their teams rather than the more modern kits.
But which shirt is the best football kit of all-time?
BBC Sport went on a mission to find out just that, with the top 20 listed below.
Check out who makes the cut, in reverse order, starting with…
20. Mexico 1978
Cuellar and Sanchez sported big hair and clean-cut Levi’s jerseys in 1978
Echoing colours from the Mexican flag, Levi’s created this green, red and white masterpiece for the World Cup in 1978.
The deep colours and the long sleeves contrasted the massive barnets of the likes of Leonardo Cuellar and Hugo Sanchez beautifully.
A real blast from the past.19. Belgium 1984
Belgium wore a diamond-patterned jersey in 1984
Recently re-released by adidas, the Belgium strip from 36 years ago was truly unique.
With a red background and diamonds sparkled across the chest in their national flag’s colours – red, gold and black – it was a real beaut.
A kit fit for a Golden Generation if they fancy bringing it back for the current first team…18. Colombia 1990
Who could forget Carlos Valderrama’s hair… and kit
This South American stunner was so popular they brought it back for the 2018 World Cup.
Who could forget the glistening yellow jerseys flowing underneath the huge hair – and short-shorts – of Carlos Valderrama?
Those little red and blue diagonal stripes, too…17. Barcelona 1997 away
You can’t think of Barca’s away jersey in 1997 without picturing Ronaldo
You know this one…
The sky-blue effort, with a single stripe of each club colour – deep blue and burgundy – running down the right-side and across the shoulders.
A lovely effort worth a reimagining…16. Cameroon 2002
Cameroon went sleeveless for a spell in 2002 – with Eto’o resorting to an undershirt
You know something’s impressive if it ends up being banned – think 1984 Air Jordans, sneaker-heads.
Sticking with the basketball theme, Cameroon – including Samuel Eto’o – once sported their SLEEVELESS jerseys.
They were deemed illegal and banned for life.15. England Women 2019
The Lionesses’ first-ever unique jerseys were a sight to behold
Last year, the Lionesses launched their very first unique kit – rather than wearing their own version of the men’s kit.
And both the home and away (white and red wine respectively) were absolute stunners.
Neat and uncluttered, they’ll go down in the history books as one of the best ever.14. Boca Juniors 1981
Everyone remembers this Boca Juniors classic from 1981
Think Diego Maradona…
The blue shirt with the thick yellow stripe running horizontally across is truly iconic.
Despite being nearly 40 years old, it’s still highly sought after by jersey collectors.13. Denmark 1986
Denmark debuted this jersey for their first-ever World Cup
Denmark reached their first-ever World Cup finals in 1986 with a talented squad including Michael Laudrup and celebrated with a shirt which divided opinion.
A “50-50” top was half block red and half light-red and white stripes – with the sleeves sporting the opposite pattern.12. Chelsea 1970
Chelsea reimagined the 1970 classic recently to mark the 50th anniversary of the FA Cup win
If you think you’ve seen this one recently, it’s because you have… sort of.
The West Londoners wore the simple, stunning blue and yellow shirt for the first time in 1970 as they won the FA Cup.
Chelsea paid homage to that kit 50 years on with a similar, reimagined version in the FA Cup.
11. England 1990
England’s two kits from Italia 90 were crackers – it’s just a shame about the result
In truth, both kits from 30 years ago at Italia 90 were absolute beauties.
The “away” blue, speckled kit is a cult classic, while the clean white with the navy blue collar is equally incredible.
There’s no way this kit wouldn’t have made the top ten if England had gone on to win in the year of Gazza’s tears.
10. Man Utd 1990 away
Man Utd sported this blue and white look in 1990
Same year and not too dissimilar in style to England’s away effort…
Man Utd’s blue and white patterned attempt is still seen out and about today amongst fans.
9. Ajax 1971
Ajax won three straight European Cups with this classic kit
White shirt with a thick, red, vertical stripe.
It’s a classic, isn’t it?
It’s the jersey that kicked it all off for the Dutch giants, as Ajax would go on to win THREE European Cup trophies in a row in this beaut of a football shirt.
8. Liverpool 1984
Liverpool clinched the 1984 European Cup with this red and white gem
Speaking of beautiful jerseys and winning the European Cup, here’s the Reds’ entry from 1984.
Classic red, sponsor less and sporting lovely thin stripes down the front – Liverpool are wearing a similar, reimagining of the jersey this season.
With the current Kop crop running amok in the Premier League, maybe it’s the real key to their powers…7. Arsenal 1991 away
The original bruised banana kit… enough said
The original bruised banana.
Arsenal have brought this back lately, but you can’t beat the original black and yellow zig zags.
Somehow doesn’t make the top five, though…
6. Celtic 1967
Celtic won the 1967 European Cup with this simple design
The Scottish giants incredibly went on to win the European Cup this year – and the kit will be remembered forever.
The simplest of green and yellow hoops, its classic, minimalist approach will go down in the history books forever.
They’ve rarely strayed away from this tried and tested kit since…

5. Nigeria 2018
Nigeria took the world by storm with their 2018 masterpiece
So popular, this one sold out across the world within days of its release.
In the 2018 World Cup, Nigeria were suddenly everyone’s second team with its stunning light-green, black and white, patterned run-out.
An instant classic.4. England 1966 away
No England kit comes close to the 1966 red design
This was always going to be near the top, thanks to England’s one and only World Cup victory, on home soil no less.
The red, long-sleeved shirt was simple with its Three Lions across the chest.
If England ever want to see Harry Kane holding the trophy aloft a la Bobby Moore, they better get back to this beauty as soon as possible.3. West Germany 1990
West Germany’s kit in 1990 helped them win the World Cup
Yet another World Cup winners kit on the list, the German effort is a worthy podium-taker.
Arguably the nation’s most-famous effort ever, the white shirt with the flag’s colours – black, red and gold – edging their way across the chest was a lovely touch.2. Holland 1988
Holland won their first-ever piece of silverware in this stunning 1988 kit
If you don’t immediately know the one, think Marco van Basten’s sensational volley.
Holland finally won a trophy with this gorgeous, orange effort for a nation at the peak of their powers.1. Brazil 1970
The 1970 Brazil team have the best kit of all time, according to voters
And coming it an No1, it’s the iconic gold and blue of Brazil.
Quite possibly the best team any World Cup has ever seen, with the likes of Pele on the books, it’s easy to see why it sticks in the memory.
The flashes of green around the neck and arms on the home strip were a thing of beauty. More

Lucas Torreira to return to Arsenal after Fiorentina refuse to make transfer permanent despite agreeing wages
by Philippa Kaur 22 May 2022, 12:01
LUCAS TORREIRA will reportedly return to Arsenal this summer after Fiorentina refused to make his loan deal permanent.Sky Italy claims Torreira looked set to continue in Florence after the Serie A giants agreed to meet his £75,000-a-week wage demands.

But a deal fell through due to Arsenal’s asking price, thought to be around £13million.
Torreira has just one year left on his Gunners contract.
And despite securing Europa Conference League football next season, Fiorentina informed Arsenal the price was too high.
It now leaves Torreira between a rock and a hard place, with the Uruguayan not thought to be in Mikel Arteta’s plans.

His No11 shirt was handed to Gabriel Martinelli this week.
And it prompted Torreira to joke on social media: “What number will I wear next year? Good luck amigo @gabriel.martinelli. I love you.”
The 26-year-old midfielder was touted for greatness when he joined Arsenal from Sampdoria in 2018.
Torreira made 89 appearances in two seasons, scoring four goals.

But after citing home sickness, he ended up moving to Atletico Madrid for the 2021/21 campaign.
Torreira failed to impress during 26 appearances, most of which came from the bench.
Yet he managed to rebuild his reputation at Fiorentina this term, scoring five times in 35 outings.
The Italians secured an impressive seventh-place finish in Serie A to secure European football for the first time since 2016.

Arsenal ‘must sign Umtiti to get Depay’, Gabriel Jesus transfer EXCLUSIVE, new kit LAUNCHED – latest updates
by Philippa Kaur 19 May 2022, 21:33
ARSENAL have made an enquiry to sign Barcelona forward Memphis Depay this summer, according to reports.The Dutchman could be the perfect replacement for Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette who are both set to leave the club in June.
But Barcelona are reportedly insisting the Gunners also sign France World Cup winner Samuel Umtiti as part of the deal.
Reports in Spain says Umtiti is looking for a coach who could offer him minutes and their confidence, with Mikel Arteta being seen as fitting the bill perfectly..
And Gabriel Jesus could still be open to a move to North London despite the club set to miss out on Champions League football.
In the midfield, the Gunners could be ready to sign Jesus’ Man City team-mate Ilkay Gundogan.

Keep up to date with all of the latest updates from the Emirates in our live blog…
Nunez ‘snubs’ Man United
Darwin Nunez has reportedly rejected an approach from Manchester United to sign him from Benfica.
Arsenal and Newcastle have both been linked along with the Red Devils in making a move.
And French giants Paris Saint-Germain are also keen on Nunez.
Now RMC Sport have offered an update on his situation, claiming that United have informed the star’s camp that they would be willing to pay £67.8million for him.
However, it states that Nunez has refused United’s approach.
He wants to sign for a club that will be competing in the Champions League next season – with United only able to qualify for the Europa League at best.
Arsenal didn’t expect top four
Arsenal reportedly had no intention of finishing fourth this season.
And that’s why the club’s transfer budget will not be affected in the summer, according to ESPN.
However, the Gunners will wait to see what European competition they end up in before deciding their recruitment strategy, the report adds.
Arsenal ponder summer move
Arsenal are considering making a move for Marseille ace Boubacar Kamara.
The Gunners reckon Kamara could be the perfect midfield partner for Thomas Partey next season, according to Fichajes.
It comes after William Saliba has been linked with a permanent move to the French side where he’s been on loan this season.
Arteta’s not to blame
Mikel Arteta’s tactics weren’t to blame for Arsenal’s loss to Newcastle.
That’s the view of ex-Gunner Kevin Campbell.
He told Football Insider: “People can question the substitutions but it wasn’t the reason Arsenal lost.
“We were not at the races from minute one to minute 90. Do not blame substitutions for that defeat.
“The fact of the matter is, that was a learning curve. It is all good and well playing good for the majority of the season but these are the moments that define you as a player. This is where you earn your name.”
Saka ‘loves’ Arsenal
Bukayo Saka is in love with Arsenal and has no intention of leaving the club, according to reports.
That’s the opinion of Fabrizio Romano who said: “There will be a direct discussion because the club is preparing the proposal for the extension of the contract, and from the player there has always been a positive feeling.
“At the moment there are no changes related to the situation for the Champions League spot race: Saka is in love with Arsenal, but obviously the negotiations are still at early stages.
“As of today, Saka is not yet negotiating with other clubs, even if you may have heard murmurings about interest from Manchester City and Liverpool.”
Arsenal make transfer
Arsenal have sold Konstantinos Mavropanos to Stuttgart following a £3million deal with the Bundesliga outfit.
Mavropanos has been on loan at the German club for the last two years and has impressed manager Pellegrino Matarazzo so much that the higher-ups decided to sign him permanently.
Mavropanos told Stuttgart’s official website: “I’ve always given my best and will continue to give my best for this great club.
“The trust of the management and the affection of the fans in Stuttgart serve as a great motivation for me.”
Guendozi sends Saliba a message
Former Arsenal star Matteo Guendozi wants William Saliba to join him at Marseille on a permanent basis.
Guendozi joined Marseille last summer, and Saliba went to the French side on loan.
But Gunedozi would like his former Arsenal pal to remain with him at Marseille.
He said: “I hope William stays here. He’s having a great season, he deserves everything that has happened to him. He’s a great guy outside, he’s had a lot of great games.”
Arsenal outcast makes shirt joke
Arsenal outcast Lucas Torreira gave a hilarious response after discovering Gabriel Martinelli had been handed the No11 shirt.
Torreira was stripped of the number in an apparent signal that the on-loan Fiorentina man would be leaving the club for good this summer.
Although the 26-year-old seemed to have other plans.
Replying to Arsenal’s Instagram post unveiling Martinelli as the new No11, Torreira joked: “What number will I wear next year? Good luck amigo @gabriel.martinelli. I love you.”
Fabregas snubs Arsenal
Cesc Fabregas has snubbed former club Arsenal by declaring he wants the youngsters he’s helped to develop at Monaco to move to Liverpool or Bayern Munich.
Fabregas told RMC Sport: “Today, I feel like I have won the respect and sympathy of this younger generation.”
“I hope I have helped. We like each other and I will continue to follow them, exchange with them.
“I would like to see (Youssouf) Fofana, (Sofiane) Diop or (Aurelien) Tchouameni at Bayern or Liverpool!”
Bellerin set for Arsenal return
Hector Bellerin will return to Arsenal this summer with Real Betis president Angel Haro hopeful a permanent deal can be reached.
The right-back, 23, has starred during his loan spell at his boyhood club this season where he has helped the club win the Copa del Rey.
Betis president Haro has admitted he will be sad to see the defender leave, but hopes the pair’s paths will cross again in the future.
Refusing to rule out turning his temporary stay into a permanent switch, he told reporters: “Hector is a fantastic player and a very good person.
“It was a loan that we had from Arsenal, now he returns to Arsenal and from then on, we’ll see.
“It is true that he has been very caught up in everything about Betis because, in addition, his parents are Betis fans.
“Hopefully we cross paths again.”
‘No hurry’ for Jesus decision
SunSport reported last week that the Brazilian striker wants to stay in England – with his representatives trying to sort a move away from Manchester City this summer.
And now we understand Jesus’ agents are not going to rush into a decision and are keen for their player to end on a high with City before deciding on his next move.
Arsenal were seen as favourites to snap up the 25-year-old – who only has one year left on his current deal – having already initiated positive talks for a £40m-£50m move.
But there is “no hurry” to sort the player’s future after Arsenal’s Monday night collapse.
The red half of North London are Norwich fans this weekend
Football data analysts SBK have produced a Premier League table supercomputer, predicting the final standings this season.
Unsurprisingly it’s bad news for Arsenal, who miss out on a Champions League place.
Tottenham should clinch qualification against Norwich City in their final game of the season.
Victory or even a draw will be enough – regardless of Arsenal’s result against Everton.
The predictor also has Leeds to be relegated with Watford and Norwich.
‘Always a chance’, says Arteta
Arsenal appear to have thrown away a Champions League spot with two key defeats in a week.
Mikel Arteta‘s men look likely to record a fifth placed finish.
BUT the Gunners could pip rivals Tottenham to fourth, should Norwich pull off an unlikely win.
And boss Arteta has told Arsenal’s official site that there is “always a chance in football”.
Gunners saving the No14 shirt for a striker?
Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli has been handed a new shirt number in a sign that the club will bring in a striker this summer, writes Jake Lambourne.
The Brazilian winger has worn the No35 at the Emirates since arriving from Ituano in 2019.
Having chipped in with five goals and as many assists in 28 Premier League games this term, the youngster will don the No11 shirt from next season.
Martinelli had called for the No14 shirt after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang left to join Barcelona earlier this year.
And fans believe that the fact the No14 has been left free means that it is being saved for a new centre-forward…
Arsenal face battle to tie Saka down to new deal
Arsenal reportedly face a battle to keep Manchester City target Bukayo Saka if they miss out on a top four finish this weekend, writes Anthony Chapman.
The Athletic claims the Gunners want to hand their star man a lucrative new deal this summer.
Saka, 20, has just one year left on a £30,000-a-week contract, although Arsenal have the option to extend it for a further 12 months.
Mikel Arteta is ready to make Saka one of his top-paid players after the ace struck 12 goals in all competitions this term, however Arsenal’s chances of keeping Saka could be in jeopardy.
That’s because the England international, with 14 caps to his name, is desperate to play in the Champions League.
One major suitor for the versatile winger is Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola is thought to be a big fan, and Saka could be in line to replace the ageing Riyad Mahrez.
Liverpool have also been linked with Saka this year.
And should either club come forward with a bid, Arsenal could struggle to convince Saka that his future lies in north London.
Pepe ‘not a great signing’, says Winterburn
Nigel Winterburn has claimed that record-signing Nicolas Pepe was a waste of money.
Arsenal appear to have thrown away a Champions League spot with two key defeats in a week.
Mikel Arteta‘s men look likely to record a fifth placed finish, but could pip rivals Tottenham to fourth should Norwich pull off an unlikely win.

Ahead of the final round of Premier League fixtures, Paddy Power caught up with ex-Gunners legend Nigel Winterburn.
Winterburn was asked his opinion on Pepe after another disappointing season.
He said: “If Nicolas Pepe leaves Arsenal, he won’t go down as a great signing simply because of the amount of money he cost.
“It was a huge amount of money, and it was a risk which looks as if it isn’t going to work out.
“There have been periods where he’s done okay but there’s also been times where he’s been left out of the team for long spells.
“Money wise, we can’t hide from it. Arsenal haven’t got value for money.”
Man City ‘expecting striker to make transfer request to leave’
Manchester City are reportedly expecting Arsenal target Gabriel Jesus to submit a transfer request in his bid to depart the Etihad, writes Jake Lambourne.
And it has also been claimed that the Gunners are set to make a £35million offer for the Brazilian striker as Mikel Arteta eyes up a reunion at the Emirates.
Jesus has one year left on his deal at the Etihad and has no desire to extend his stay with the Premier League leaders.
The ex-Palmeiras ace believes he will struggle for minutes next season following the arrival of Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund.
And City are now prepared to offload him to avoid losing the ace on a free transfer in 2023.
According to ESPN, the Citizens are now expecting Jesus to ask for permission to leave.
They even state that Pep Guardiola will not stand in the way of him departing the club.
2022-23 home kit release
What do we think of the new kit Arsenal fans?

Freddie Hudson, Head of Arsenal in the Community, said: “We’re extremely proud of the work we’ve been doing to bring our community together and support the lives of people in our local area for more than 35 years.
“People are the heartbeat of our community and the £5 donation from our home shirt sales will provide vital support for the local projects that serve our diverse community in north London so well.
“The last couple of years have been especially tough and the impact continues to be felt, but it’s amazing what we can achieve when we all come together to support each other.
“We continue to draw inspiration from those who make the Arsenal family so special, and we’re thrilled to be able to give a little back in this unique way.”
Arsenal unveil new 2022-23 home kit
Arsenal have unveiled their new 2022-23 home kit with a zig-zag collared design and £5 from every shirt bought through the club will go to The Arsenal Foundation.
The Gunners’ fresh design will be worn in a season where they return to European competition after having a season off.
Mikel Arteta’s men look likely to record a fifth placed finish, but could pip rivals Tottenham to fourth should Norwich pull off an unlikely win.
Adidas have stuck with red as the prominent colour, with the sleeves white.
The shoulders have stripes leading up to the collar, which has a zig-zag design.
The kit will make its debut on the final game of the season against Everton on May 22.
Aubameyang retires from international football
Ex-Gunner Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has reportedly retired from international football.
The Barcelona forward won 72 caps for Gabon, and had been captain of his country until the time of his retirement.
In a letter to the Gabonese FA, Aubameyang wrote, as reported by Mundo Deportivo: “After 13 years of pride in representing my country, I announce that I am ending my international career.

“I would like to thank the Gabonese people and all those who have supported me in the good like the bad times.
“I will keep a lot of good memories like the day I made my debut at romnisports, or the day I came back from Nigeria with the African Ballon d’Or.
“And sharing it with all the people was an unforgettable moment. I thank our President, his Excellency Ali Bongo Ondimba who has always supported the Panthers and has always worked for football to evolve in our country.
“I would also like to thank all my coaches, staff and the players that I have come across during this career.
“Finally, I thank my father who gave me the desire to do like him, hoping to have made him proud by wearing our colours.”
Art attack for next season
Arsenal are set to hand boss Mikel Arteta another huge transfer warchest despite missing out on Champions League qualification, reports claim.
The Spaniard spent £150million on fresh talent last summer, as he attempts to rebuild his squad, writes ETIENNE FERMIE.
The Gunners looked set to achieve a surprise top four finish – only to blow it in the final weeks of the season.
Should Tottenham avoid defeat at Norwich on Sunday, Arsenal will be consigned to the Europa League.
According to the Telegraph, however, failure to reach Europe’s premier competition won’t affect the North Londoners’ spending power.
Club chiefs view the upcoming window as a “major opportunity” to bolster their squad.
Despite missing out on a lucrative Champions League payday, many of Arsenal’s targets will remain the same as if they had qualified.
Whether they will still be able to attract that high class talent, remains to be seen.
First Dybs for Spurs or the Gunners?
Tottenham are reportedly in talks to sign Arsenal target and Juventus free agent Paulo Dybala, writes ANTHONY CHAPMAN.
Transfer guru Pedro Almeida claims Spurs have joined local rivals Arsenal and Manchester United in the race for the Argentina forward.
And Antonio Conte’s Juve links could seal the deal, with sporting director Fabio Paratici already holding talks with Dybala’s representatives.
The versatile attacker, 28, has confirmed he will leave Turin when his contract expires next month.
Dybala has been at Juventus since 2015 after a move from Palermo.
And he is regarded as one of world football’s top talents, having won five Serie A titles and four Italian Cups.
Morning Arsenal fans
Arsenal have contacted Barcelona regarding a summer swoop for Memphis Depay.
The Gunners are in the market for at least one forward, and ABC believe they are now contemplating making the Dutchman their first choice.
Meanwhile, Eddie Nketiah isn’t at the level to play for Arsenal.
That’s the opinion of Gabby Agbonlahor who reckons Nketiah’s compatriot Alexandre Lacazette is getting too old to deliver the goods.
Agbonlahor said on talkSPORT: “They play with one striker. Nketiah, for me – he’s a decent player but not Arsenal level.
“He’s not going to be the striker to get you into the top four. [Alexandre] Lacazette [also] looks like he’s ageing a bit.”
Elsewhere, Arsenal could add Barcelona star Samuel Umtiti to the club’s ranks this summer.
The Gunners have reportedly been offered the chance to sign the defender.
According to SPORT, Barca are keen to offload the injury-prone star as they undergo a squad revamp in the summer months.
Finally, Juventus are planning to raid Arsenal when representatives from the club come to England to speak with Paul Pogba.
Along their travels, Juve reps plan to continue talks with Arsenal duo Gabriel and Thomas Partey, according TuttoSport.
However, Juve are focused on wrapping the deal for Pogba when they make the trip before turning their attention to the Gunners pair, the report states.
Tomiyasu will be missed
Arsenal will miss the crocked Takehiro Tomiyasu who Ian Wright reckons can do everything.
Wright said after the defender was injured against Newcastle: “He’s been magnificent.
“Him as a player is one missed because of his versatility, not just his defending, but his attacking too.
“His defending one v one. Positional play. He sniffs out danger. He does everything. And he will always tries to play.”
Door remains open for Bellerin
However, the door has been left open for Bellerin to return to Betis one day.
Betis’ president Haro admitted that the club shared an affinity to Bellerin as his parents are from the Spanish region.
Haro added: “It’s true that he’s been enamoured with everything involved in Beticismo because his parents are also Beticos.
“Let’s hope we cross paths again somewhere along the way.”

Saka, 20, has just one year left on a £30,000-a-week contract, although Arsenal have the option to extend it for a further 12 months.
But Mikel Arteta is ready to make Saka one of his top-paid players after the ace struck 12 goals in all competitions this term.
However, Arsenal’s chances of keeping Saka could be in jeopardy.
That’s because the England international, with 14 caps to his name, is desperate to play in the Champions League.

Arsenal had been on course for the top four before consecutive defeats at Tottenham and Newcastle.
And with just one game left, they now find themselves in fifth place – two points off Spurs.
Arsenal must now beat Everton and hope Tottenham lose to already-relegated Norwich if they want to reach the Champions League.
But unless that unlikely scenario plays out, it could spell a world of trouble for Saka’s new deal.

One major suitor for the versatile winger is Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola is thought to be a big fan, and Saka could be in line to replace the ageing Riyad Mahrez.
Liverpool have also been linked with Saka this year.
And should either club come forward with a bid, Arsenal could struggle to convince Saka that his future lies in north London.
Saka has made 130 appearances for the Gunners, scoring 23 times.
He was part of the FA Cup-winning side in 2020, before following it up with glory in that year’s Community Shield final. More

Arsenal ‘make enquiry’ for Depay, Arteta’s revived ‘interest’ in Umtiti deal, Gabriel Jesus EXCLUSIVE – updates
by Philippa Kaur 18 May 2022, 16:02
ARSENAL have reportedly made an enquiry to sign Barcelona forward Memphis Depay this summer.The Dutchman could be the perfect replacement for Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette who are both set to leave the club in June.
Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta remains interested in luring French veteran Samuel Umtiti to the Emirates according to reports.
Umtiti was considered in a loan deal during the January transfer window, but Arsenal and Barcelona couldn’t come to an agreement.
And Gabriel Jesus could still be open to a move to North London despite the club set to miss out on Champions League football.

Keep up to date with all of the latest updates from the Emirates in our live blog…
Lokonga will come good
Lokonga will come good in the Premier League like Belgian counterparts Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku.
The Belgian pair both took awhile to adapt to the Prem, but are now two of the league’s biggest stars.
And it will be the same for Lokonga, his brother claims.
He continued: “Other players like Kevin De Bruyne or Romelu Lukaku have also taken time to establish themselves in the English Premier League.
“The difference with the Belgian league is big, and Arsenal is not a mid-table club.”
Lokonga has no worries
Lokonga isn’t worried about his lack of playing time this season as he understands that there’s a number of talented stars in Arsenal’s midfield department.
That’s according to his brother, who added: “We would have signed with both hands for a first season with 33% of playing time. And Albert is improving every day, especially in training.
“But the competition is tough in the team, with boys like Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka or Mohamed Elneny, and the coach must respect a certain hierarchy.
“He has so much talent; sometimes it seems so easy for him that maybe the coach expects more from him?
“He shouldn’t rest on his abilities. And maybe he needs to show more in training. I’m not worried, and neither is he.”
Lokonga set for Arsenal stay
Albert Sambi Lokonga’s brother has ruled out a transfer move away from Arsenal for the midfielder.
Lokonga’s brother, Paul-José M’Poku, told RTBF: “It’s (a transfer) out of the question, at least for him.
“He is very well integrated into the club and the city, he is happy, although he hopes to play more next season, and his potential would deserve it.
“And there will be European games. I talked to him on the phone on Monday; he was disappointed because, with the defeat in Newcastle, the Champions League has moved away, but there will be the Europa League, and he is positive about his season.”
Harp done by
Former Arsenal goalkeeper Lee Harper’s debut shirt that was signed by the 1996-97 squad has been stolen from his home.
Harper’s one and only competitive outing for Arsenal came in a 2-0 win away at Southampton in March 1997.
But sadly, Harper’s Arsenal jersey from that afternoon was stolen from his home at the weekend.
The 50-year-old tweeted: “My debut #Afc shirt that was signed by whole squad in 1997 was stolen from my home at the weekend please retweet @IanWright0 @RealRomfordPele @thedavidseaman please @ArsenalFC.”
In the tweet, Harper begged his former team-mates to help publicise the robbery in a desperate bid that it could be returned.
Arsenal transfer plans ‘in tatters’
Arsenal’s summer transfer plans lie in tatters, according to TeamTALK, after Monday’s defeat at Newcastle left them highly unlikely to qualify for the Champions League.
The Gunners will miss out on a top-four spot unless North London rivals Tottenham lose at bottom-of-the-table and already relegated Norwich on Sunday.
Mikel Arteta and sporting director Edu had identified a number of transfer targets, but now risk losing them without the prospect of Europe’s elite competition.
Those include Paulo Dybala, who had been tipped to move to the Emirates from Juventus, but now appears destined to stay in Italy with a switch to Roma or Inter.
Darwin Nunez and Victor Osimhen will also supposedly reject a move to the Premier League unless Champions League football is also on the agenda.
Arsenal ‘make enquiry’ for Depay
Arsenal have contacted Barcelona regarding a summer swoop for Memphis Depay.
The Gunners are in the market for at least one forward, and ABC believe they are now contemplating making the Dutchman their first choice.
Depay only arrived at the Nou Camp last year, and made an electric start to life in LaLiga with eight goals in his first 14 appearances.
However, he has found himself increasingly on the bench since Xavi took charge of the Catalans, and is likely to be one of the players moved on in the next window as Barca look to raise funds.
It remains to be seen whether Depay would be willing to move to a club that are unable to provide Champions League football.
Nketiah not up to Liverpool standard
Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah has been linked with a surprise move to Liverpool – but one former Anfield ace believes his old club would be making a mistake.
The 22-year-old is out of contract this summer and had been expected to move away from the Emirates prior to his recent run of starts.
However, Steve McManaman feels the forward would be better off remaining in North London if Mikel Arteta can guarantee him similar playing time next term.
Speaking to HorseRacing.net, McManaman said: “I don’t think he’s good enough for Liverpool to be honest.
“I like Eddie Nketiah but he’s not going to dismantle any of that Liverpool front five and the club has an academy full of centre forwards, so I can’t see this move happening.
“Mikel Arteta has selected him a lot recently, but it wasn’t too long ago that he didn’t seem interested in him.
“He just has to work hard and keep improving. [Alexandre] Lacazette may leave on a free transfer this summer, so there could be space for him to continue with Arsenal, but he needs to see whether his manager is planning on bringing in two or three forwards.
“If he’s happy there though and he’s playing there then he should stay at Arsenal.”
Gunners set for Mav windfall
Arsenal are set to make a small profit from on-loan defender Konstantinos Mavropanos after Stuttgart avoided relegation in the Bundesliga.
The Germans had an obligation to buy the 24-year-old if they stayed in the top-flight, which they did courtesy of a dramatic stoppage time winner on Saturday.
Mavropanos has spent the last two years with Stuttgart on a loan deal, making 54 appearances for the club.
And while there was an obligation to buy the defender if they stayed up, The Athletic claim Stuttgart had told Arsenal they wished to sign him regardless of whether they survived the drop.
The Gunners will receive £3million for the centre-back, plus another £1.5m in bonuses.
It means Arsenal will earn just under £3m in profit on a player they signed for £1.8m in January 2018 from Greek side PAS Giannina.
Arteta in for Barca’s Umtiti
Mikel Arteta remains interested in bringing Samuel Umtiti to Arsenal after it emerged that Barcelona were willing to sell the defender.
The Daily Star reports that the Arsenal boss is considering a swoop for the 28-year-old this summer despite missing out on a loan move for the player back in January.
The French international is supposedly surplus to requirements at the Nou Camp, and has now been told he can leave the LaLiga giants.
The news comes in the same week that Gunners centre-back Gabriel was linked with a transfer to Juventus.
Should the Brazilian exit the Emirates, Arteta may well decide to replace him with the experienced Umtiti.
However, many Arsenal supporters are hoping to see William Saliba in the first team next season after the 21-year-old’s successful season on loan at Marseille.
Good morning Arsenal fans
Gary Neville has branded Granit Xhaka a “disgrace” after the Arsenal star blamed teammates for their defeat at Newcastle.
Neville said: “I think I heard him say, ‘Stay at home if you haven’t got the balls’. So he’s obviously having a go at people in his dressing room.
“I don’t know who he’s having a go at, I hope he wasn’t having a go at the younger players…him?
“I tell you what he’s been a disgrace at times over the last four or five years, getting sent off recklessly. He’s left it up in the air there, that was nothing there.”
Meanwhile, Gabriel Jesus’ agents are in “no hurry” to sort the player’s future after Arsenal’s Monday night collapse.
SunSport understands Jesus’ agents are not going to rush into a decision and are keen for their player to end on a high with Man City before deciding on his next move.
It has also been made clear to SunSport by Jesus’ team that although the Champions League is a major attraction, they have not completely ruled out a move to the Emirates.
Elsewhere, Arsenal are keen on a £21million deal for Bologna defender Aaron Hickey.
But they face competition from Newcastle and Napoli.
However, the Mail claims Brentford are leading the race for the Scot, who wants regular minutes should he make a move.
Finally, Mikel Arteta will have the support of Arsenal’s board irrespective of how Arsenal’s season finishes.
The Gunners’ Champions League hopes hang by a thread after they lost to Newcastle.
But Arteta will be handed a huge cheque to spend even if the Gunners don’t qualify for the elite European competition, according to The Telegraph.
Arteta’s war chest

But Arteta will be handed a huge cheque to spend even if the Gunners don’t qualify for the elite European competition, according to The Telegraph.
Merson’s verdict on Iwobi
Paul Merson isn’t impressed by Arsenal ace Alex Iwobi.
Merson told Sky Sports: “I’m not his biggest fan, if I am being honest. I think he flatters to deceive.
“But I think he has turned up. He has done well and worked from a base. And his work for the team.
“What he does well is he takes the team up the pitch. When you are in a team that aren’t great, Iwobi will get you up the pitch.
“He should get more goals. And he should get more assists.”
Champions League hopes over
Arsenal won’t be in the Champions League next season as Spurs will take the final European spot, according to Jamie Carragher.
He said: “Spurs aren’t losing from that position, they’ll know right now, the players sat on the pitch, the scenes, the fans in the away end, there isn’t anybody in world football who believes Arsenal will have Champions League football next season.
“Absolutely no chance.”
Player of the Year list thoughts
Rio Ferdinand thinks Cristiano Ronaldo should be on the Player of the Year list ahead of Bukayo Saka.
Speaking on the list. Ferdinand fumed: “Saka’s in the Player of the Year nominees?.
“I wouldn’t have had Saka in there yet, as well as he’s done.
“I wouldn’t have had him over Ronaldo, no, not this season. Ronaldo should be in ahead of three of four of those guys in there.
“‘He probably doesn’t win it but in terms of nominees, it’s laughable. He’ll take it as a disrespect but these are the things that fuel him, he’ll be thinking, ‘how dare you?'”
Arsenal set for small windfall
Arsenal are set to make a small profit from on-loan defender Konstantinos Mavropanos after Stuttgart avoided relegation in the Bundesliga.
The Germans had an obligation to buy the 24-year-old if they stayed in the top-flight, which they did courtesy of a 92nd minute winner on Saturday.
Mavropanos has spent the last two-years with Stuttgart on a loan deal, making 54 appearances for the club.
And while there was an obligation to buy the defender if they stayed up, The Athletic claim Stuttgart had told Arsenal they wished to sign him regardless of whether they survived the drop.
The Gunners will receive £3million for the centre-back, plus another £1.5m in bonuses.
It means Arsenal will earn just under £3m in profit on a player they signed for £1.8m in January 2018 from Greek side PAS Giannina.
Shearer goads Ian Wright
Alan Shearer couldn’t resist goading Ian Wright after Arsenal lost to Newcastle.
After the game, the Toon legend said to Wright: “Do you want a hug? Do you want a hug? Do you want a cuddle?”
Wright didn’t seem to be amused and replied: “No. Why are you being so…”
But before Wright could finish, Shearer interjected: ‘I’m not. I love you really.”
Spurs keeper on Arsenal loss
Tottenham star Hugo Lloris revealed that Spurs were watching Arsenal’s loss to Newcastle intently.
But he claimed the result wouldn’t affect the LilyWhites’ preparation for their final game of the season against Norwich.
Lloris said before the Arsenal game yesterday: “We’re going to have a look on Monday night, obviously, but that won’t change the way we’re going to prepare for our game at Norwich.
“We must be ready to take an opportunity. That was the message today.”
Shearer on Arsenal’s gameplan
Alan Shearer was miffed by Arsenal’s gameplan against Newcastle that resulted in a 2-0 loss for the Gunners.
He said to Premier League Productions: “I think what surprised me with the Arsenal team was on the back of such a poor performance against Tottenham, and what you want and need is a game straight away to say okay we need to get that one out of our system.
“Now we all knew what the atmosphere was going to be like at St. James Park tonight.
“So those players should have known and Mikel Arteta will have known, so I was really surprised to see that it almost caught them by surprise.”
Gabriel Jesus transfer latest
Gabriel Jesus agents are in “no hurry” to sort the player’s future after Arsenal’s Monday night collapse.
Arsenal were seen as favourites to snap up the 25-year-old – who only has one year left on his current deal – having already initiated positive talks for a £40m-£50m move.
But SunSport understands Jesus’ agents are not going to rush into a decision and are keen for their player to end on a high with City before deciding on his next move.
Jesus’ agents have already admitted to being fans of the project Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has built, as well as suggesting the Premier League is the “NBA of football”.
Trippier has cheeky Arsenal pop
Ex-Spurs star Kieran Trippier had a cheeky pop at Arsenal after they slipped in the race for a top-four Prem finish.
The right-back posted an Instagram message to Tottenham fans after his current side Newcastle beat the Gunners on Monday.
Trippier was an unused sub but that did not stop him enjoying the result with fans at Tottenham, where he played between 2015-2019.
The England star, 31, posted an image of himself on the touchline, and added a message which said: “Excellent by the lads tonight, once again showing what we are capable of at Newcastle.
“I hope you enjoyed that one tonight Spurs fans 😂.”
Newcastle fans taunt Arsenal
Newcastle taunted Arsenal as their team delivered a near-fatal blow to the Gunners’ Champions League hopes.
As their side dominated the Gunners, fans chanted: “Champions League, you’re having a laugh.”
They repeated the taunt over and over again.
United fans beg for Nkunku
Man United fans have begged the Red Devils to sign RB Leipzig star Christopher Nkunku after he was named Bundesliga’s Player of the Season.
Nkunku’s impact has wowed United’s faithful who flocked to Twitter to voice their desire for him to be in a Red Devils shirt next season.
One fan reckoned Nkunku’s switch to United is a foregone conclusion and wrote: “United player soon.”
United have had an indifferent season and currently languish in sixth spot in the Premier League with just one game left to play.
And one supporter who believes Nkunku will provide a solution to the club’s problems next season, added: “@ManUtd here is our man.”
While a third Red Devils loyalist chipped in: “Think he’d be perfect for us.”
Arsenal have also been linked with the midfield star.
Arsenal face Hickey transfer competition
Arsenal are keen on a £21million deal for Bologna defender Aaron Hickey.
But they face competition from Newcastle and Napoli.
However, the Mail claims Brentford are leading the race for the Scot, who wants regular minutes should he make a move.
Jesus taking time over move
Gabriel Jesus’ agents are in “no hurry” to sort the player’s future after Arsenal’s Monday night collapse.
SunSport understands Jesus’ agents are not going to rush into a decision and are keen for their player to end on a high with Man City before deciding on his next move.
It has also been made clear to SunSport by Jesus’ team that although the Champions League is a major attraction, they have not completely ruled out a move to the Emirates.
Van Persie Jr signs deal
Robin van Persie’s son Shaqueel could follow the striker’s footsteps to Arsenal or Manchester United – after signing a first contract with Feyenoord.
Shaqueel said: “I’ve been at Feyenoord since I was ten, so this is a special day. The club is like a second home for me.
“The fans and the stadium are great. My dream is to eventually play at De Kuip, and to be a success.”
Feyenoord academy head Rini Coolen added: “We as a club are very pleased with Shaqueel’s development.
“He is strong with an outstanding winner’s mentality, scores goals for fun and shows his leadership qualities. Signing his first professional contract is a fitting reward for him.”
