Saka nets brace as Arsenal hammer Burnley to close gap again Bukayo Saka scored twice for the rampant Gunners REUTERS Liverpool’s win over Brentford earlier in the day had moved them five points clear at the top, but the Gunners responded in fine fashion to reduce the deficit back to two and keep themselves firmly in the Premier League title race.

Burnley never looked like causing the Gunners any real problems and the lead was doubled before the break. Leandro Trossard was brought down in the box and Bukayo Saka made no mistake from the spot, despite James Trafford going the right way. Saka needed ...

Arsenal should be ‘in the conversation’ to sign Kylian Mbappé, says Mikel Arteta

Image
  Mikel Arteta says Arsenal should be “in the conversation” for the signature of Kylian Mbappé after the striker’s summer departure from Paris Saint-Germain was confirmed, even though Real Madrid remain favourites to complete a deal. Mbappé’s contract expires in June and he has informed PSG that he will leave at the end of the season, either by running down his deal or extending it and earning his employers a transfer fee. Real are long-term suitors but an agreement is yet to be struck with the player and his representatives, theoretically leaving the door open for an English club to step in. “When there is a player of that calibre, we always have to be in the conversation,” Arteta said, before referring to Real’s interest. “But . . . it looks to be in a different way.” Asked whether that meant Arsenal were involved in any discussions about Mbappé, he replied: “I am not. Maybe Edu [the sporting director] and the owners are, but I am not in those conversations until the last stage.”...

Big News: Marc Guéhi arrived at Arsenal confirmed contract signed! And warm welcome from Mikel Artete

Image
    Arsenal 'are chasing Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi'... with the Eagles 'set to demand a GIGANTIC fee in a summer bidding war for the England centre-back The Gunners are huge admirers of Guehi but know the centre-back, who cost £18million, is not on the market for the time being. That suits boss Mikel Arteta, who has a settled back line but sees Guehi as part of his long-term plans and is both willing and happy to wait, with the auction likely to be at the end of the season. Palace will demand a huge fee for the 23-year-old, who has also been linked with Manchester City, Manchester United — and even a return to Chelsea, where he came through the academy.
