Fixture list
In case you’ve been hiding under a rock for the last month, here are the Gunners’ full fixture list for the upcoming Premier League season.
Bra-him in
Mikel Arteta is reportedly monitoring Brahim Diaz’s situation with Real Madrid.
New Los Blancos boss Xabi Alonso has reportedly told Diaz – who is on the radar of several clubs in Saudi Arabia – that he’ll play a secondary role this season.
And according to Football Espana, Arteta is closely monitoring the situation of the £36million-rated Diaz.
Arsenal’s next match
The Gunners will be determined to put their pre-season defeat to bitter North London rivals Tottenham behind them.
Sarr scored a screamer from the half-way line which earned Spurs the win in Hong Kong.
And it put a dampener on Viktor Gyokeres’ long-awaited debut in an Arsenal shirt.
However, the Swedish striker will have the chance to get himself on the scoresheet on Wednesday when the Gunners welcome Spanish giants Villarreal to the Emirates.
Not holding on
Rob Holding has been released by Crystal Palace after making just one appearance for the London side.
The 29-year-old joined the Eagles from Arsenal for £4million in September 2023 but struggled to break into the squad.
Now, having made just one first team appearance, he finds himself without a club.
A statement from Crystal Palace announcing his departure read: “Crystal Palace F.C. can confirm that Rob Holding has left the club.
“Holding joined Palace in September 2023 from fellow Premier League side Arsenal.
“The defender spent the latter half of last season on loan at Sheffield United, where he played 12 times.
“The club wishes Rob well for his future career.”
