Eze ‘keen’ on Emirates move
Eberechi is eager to up sticks from Selhurst Park and move to the Emirates, it’s been claimed.
Fabrizio Romano said on his YouTube channel: “I’m told that the negotiation club to club has not started yet. But sources at Crystal Palace expect Arsenal to arrive for Eze.
“Why? Because Arsenal have been in contact for months now with the agents of Eze, because Eze is very appreciated by Arsenal, because Arsenal still want to add the player if they will have the opportunity to.
“They spoke to the player several times and the player is also very keen on a move. So Palace expect Arsenal to arrive.”
Merino talks Spurs loss
Mikel Merino reckons Arsenal’s loss to Spurs can be used as a catalyst for a solid start to the new Premier League season.
The Spain international said: “Obviously, winning is a priority for us, but in pre-season, there are other things that have a lot of value, like getting fit, keeping that connection with the fans here in this amazing city.
“We adapted quickly to the pitch, to the opponent, I think we dominated most of the game.
“The result is obviously the worst part, but we have to take the positives.
“Obviously, this feeling is going to be the gasoline for the season to keep growing, keep learning and hopefully go upwards.”
Arteta praises Dowman
Mikel Arteta has heaped praise on Max Dowman for his displays during pre-season.
He said: “I’m not surprised, he’s been really impressive with what he’s done again at his age, the way he has entered the matches and with that determination, that quality, that decisiveness I would say.
“The same with the other kids that played, so it was another exposure to them, which is not easy, especially at that age.
“They certainly have done so, so well and made a lot of people proud.”

Arteta happy with squad
Mikel Arteta is seemingly content with his squad following the six additions he’s made this summer.
After Thursday’s 1-0 defeat to Spurs, the Spaniard said: “I’m very positive, everything that I’ve seen in the last 10 days gives me a lot of encouragement and we’re ahead of what I was expecting in many areas.
“Even though tonight’s result gives you a taste, I think that is going to be very positive as well.
“To realise the margins that winning or not winning have to be controlled as well and again, we go again.
“We’ll start on Monday again with two great games at the Emirates to finalise the preparation and be ready for Old Trafford.
