Catch all the latest Arsenal news, including updates on Gabriel Magalhaes replacement, Nico Williams transfer and Mark Clattenburg.
Arsenal’s return to Premier League action came with a huge win as they managed to beat Fulham 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium.
Attention quickly turns towards the next league game as the Gunners take to the road and face off with Everton in a final Goodison Park meeting.
Elsewhere, plans in the transfer window appears to be stepping up as Andrea Berta gets to work as sporting director.
So with that said, here’s a look at the latest Arsenal news ahead of another busy day.
Mikel Arteta names Gabriel Magalhaes replacement
Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes is a fresh injury concern as the star was brought off early in the match against Fulham.
The Brazilian seemingly suffered a hamstring problem as he went to ground after pulling up short holding the back of his leg.
It means the centre-back is now a doubt for the coming Champions League clash with Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.
With Gabriel potentially out, Mikel Arteta will have to pick a potential replacement for the defender for the coming matches.
When asked about a replacement, the Arsenal boss said: “The good thing with Jakub [Kiwior] is that he’s been very reliable.
“Every time we need him, he’s always there, he’s available and he does his job. We ask him to play as a left centre-back, as a right centre-back, as a left full-back. He’s ready, he’s got a smile on his face.
“It’s sad for Gabi, but he really wanted to play as well and he will be fine.”

The ex-Premier League official has overseen plenty of the world’s top players, but the Arsenal icon is among the quickest he has seen.
Clattenburg told Arsenal Insider: “Who was the quickest Premier League player I’ve ever refereed? Without a doubt, it was Thierry Henry.
