Inter Milan are being heavily linked with Arsenal midfielder Alexander Song. Inter boss Leonardo, has expressed his interest in the 23-year old, who still has 3 years left to run on his current contract at The Gunners. I believe Song has had a superb season this year. Over the last 18 months, we’ve seen tremendous [...]

by MIKE HARVEY Arsenal have captured the signing of Charlton’s young defender, Carl Jenkinson. The Finnish Football Association have confirmed that the 19-year old has signed for The Gunners for a compensation package of around £1m was  agreed, after a £3m fee was originally planned. Jenkinson is a versatile player who is able to play [...]

Arsene Wenger is looking at German midfield player Mario Gotze as a potential replacement for contract rebel Samir Nasri. That’s the claim in this morning’s Sunday Mirror. Gotze is 19 next month and the Borussia Dortmund star is regarded as one of the most exciting talents in German football, says the paper. And it adds [...]

  By CARL ELDRIDGE We may not have signed anyone as the hours and minutes ticked away in the transfer window deadline, but Arsene Wenger has shown faith in what he has got by offering and having new contracts signed by Nicklas Bendtner and Denilson.   

I write this blog with my tin hat on and head firmly down in the trench. There are some people who positively revel in being unpopular. I’m not one of them. I’m no masochist! Seriously, I stand by what I wrote in my blog this past Monday. I believe- having watched the recordings umpteen times [...]

by CARL ELDRIDGE Carlos Vela could be set for a loan move to Fulham. As the transfer deadline looms, arsenalinsider.com has been  told the Mexico striker will switch to Craven Cottage and that has sparked a rumour that Brede Hangeland could yet make a move to the Gunners as part of the deal.

Arsene has no further interest in signing Chamakh  is the L’Equipe headline this morning. So what exactly is going on? This is brinkmanship. Laurent Blanc wants 12 million Euros and Arsenal will not budge from 7 million for a player that will be able to move as a free agent in five months anyway. Bordeaux [...]

The once mighty invincibles have finally fallen. The last of them, Kolo Toure having joined Manchester City. I have to admit I am sad that he has decided to move on. Unlike Adebayor, Kolo always played with a heart of a lion whenever he put on the red and white which made him a fan [...]

L’Equipe are reporting this evening that Arsenal Football club have made an offer to Bordeaux for their striker Chamakh, they say that Jean-Louis Triaud laughed about the concrete offer, and suggested that it was quite insufficient from a club of the stature of Arsenal. In any case the fact that he said that it was [...]

Huge change in direction – or is it…..Kolo, Ade and maybe Eboue SOLD I don’t sense you all crying yourselves to sleep over this. You can’t fool real football fans any longer. They know what they see. We see players at Arsenal that are fat and lazy. I ask myself did Kolo get locked in [...]

News is just breaking that Kolo “Raging Bull” Toure has now passed a medical and signed for Manchester City. The deal thought to be a four year contract and the transfer fee a rumoured 16 million pounds.

It has been confirmed that Adebayor has signed for manchester City Manchester City have completed the signing of Arsenal’s Emmanuel Adebayor on a five-year contract.

I just wanted to provide a quick update on some transfer news that makes slightly less headlines than Ade’s imminent exit.

Soon the news will confirm that Adebayor is a Manchester City player, the fee rumoured to be between 22 and 25 million pounds, a salary estimated £150 thousand pounds a week. I have been no supporter of Adebayor, as people who regular read this blog will appreciate. I really don’t care what happens to him, I [...]

With Arsenal’s first summer signing now complete, Arsene Wenger has stuck to form by capturing yet another reasonably unheard of name, however, this time he seems to have gone about his business in a more objective manner.

The most eagerly awaited news of the day has finally be announced on the official club site. Thomas Vermaelen is thought to have accepted a four year contract and will no doubt be playing pre-season.

According to Thomas Vermaelen himself, he is set to become the latest acquisition to Arsenal Football Club. He is a no nonsense utility defender who has excellent heading ability. These are good times when Gooners get regular briefings from a player about the expected signing and medical. It tends to indicate that the player is [...]

Morning insiders, not too much happening again today after Englands 4-0 win yeaterday. Fabregas The King should be back from his holidays tomorrow, as for today this story in the Sunday Mail caught my eye.

Morning Insiders, another weekend is upon us, another Saturday when I have to find something to do without football in my life… Want to thank Dan Jackson who sent this blog accross about summer transfers.

Sky Sports News went large yesterday on transfer speculation surrounding Cesc Fábregas. You can count on the English speaking media to take a couple of days to find somebody who can do the really complicated stuff like find somebody who speaks Spanish. The Sky Sports News piece is based on a story that appeared in [...]

Here’s the latest in a series of articles where I’m trying to shine a light on the business interactions of football in order to give Gooners a modicum of understanding of the business world which the Arsenal inhabits. You don’t need me to tell you how painful it is being a Gooner when the transfer [...]

Well at last Arsenal Football Club have just released the news on its official website that Andrey Arshavin has signed for our club, also subject to the granting of a work permit. You can confirm this here. This transfer has been one of the most protracted deals based upon media misinformation and the other side (Zenit) making mischief [...]

The transfer saga that had more twists and turns than a belly dancer’s navel should come to an end very soon with the news from SkySports that Andrei Arshavin is currently aboard a flight from Dubai heading for Heathrow airport, he is expected to land around 2pm. The reporter from Dubai, David Livingstone confirmed my observations earlier [...]

The deal agreed between Arsenal and Zenit has now finally been announced by Zenit St Petersburg on it’s website and in due course, as I revealed on Friday, it was subject to personal terms, which contrary to some misinformed sources had not been agreed.  Put as best as I can, from the russian translation, Zenit have suggested a [...]

With the headlines hogged by Cook’s comments that Milan has “bottled” the atrocious £108 million deal to take Kaka to City, it seemed like Zenit had “bottled” it too when Arsenal’s renewed bid was rejected again. Arshavin’s agent is quoted as saying Zenit is acting barbaric with demands of £20 million transfer fee and he [...]
