Catch all the latest Arsenal news, including updates on Mikel Arteta, Jack Wilshere and Ben White.
Arsenal jet off for their pre-season tour of Asia on Saturday and an official travelling squad list is expected imminently from the club.
The list will definitely include three new faces with the signings of Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard confirmed, alongside Kepa Arrizabalaga.
All eyes will be on whether there are further additions before Mikel Arteta’s men depart but there is plenty more going on in and around the club.
So, with that said, here’s a look at the latest Arsenal news today ahead of another busy day of action.
Jamie O’Hara sends Mikel Arteta a warning over his Arsenal future
According to talkSPORT pundit and former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jamie O’Hara, Gunners boss Arteta could face the sack this season if he fails to deliver a major trophy.
O’Hara stated: “I think if Arsenal don’t win something this year, he’s gone. Yeah, come on, he is spending another £200 million. Come on, you’ve got to win something big, a major honour.”
There is undoubted pressure on the team to fulfil their potential this season but in terms of sacking Arteta, Stan Kroenke is well aware of how talented the Spaniard is.

Ben White impresses during Arsenal pre-season testing
One player that is desperate to get back to his best this season is defender Ben White after a frustrating 2024-25 campaign through injury.
White faces a real battle with Jurrien Timber for the right back spot this season but has begun in impressive fashion during pre-season testing and training.
The England international was ‘excellent’ during an agility test with his ‘smooth acceleration and deceleration’ in particular catching the eye.

Jack Wilshere says Santi Cazorla is ‘technically’ the best player he played with
Speaking on the latest episode of ‘The Obi One’ podcast with former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel, Jack Wilshere has claimed that Santi Cazorla was ‘technically’ the best player he played with.
Wilshere played alongside the likes of Mesut Ozil and Cesc Fabregas, so it is high praise indeed for the 40-year-old Spaniard.
The former Hale End star stated: “He used to take corners, left and right, technically he’s the best player I’ve ever seen, left foot and right foot.
“You know players who can ping the ball with their weak foot, you know how hard that is? John Terry could do it, and Santi Cazorla could do it.”
