Arsenal’s summer transfer window has been defined by frustration, missed opportunities, and a rapidly inflating market that has reshaped the landscape for every major club. The Gunners were expected to spend heavily after winning the Premier League, with elite attacking reinforcements firmly on the agenda for sporting director Andrea Berta. Instead, Arsenal have been left empty-handed on multiple fronts, with both Jeremie Monga and Morgan Rogers slipping through their fingers in the space of weeks. Manchester City hijacked the move for Monga, while Chelsea agreed a remarkable £117m deal for Rogers on Saturday evening, leaving Arsenal supporters furious and deflated.…

The 28-year-old Senegal international has established himself as one of the Premier League’s most reliable forwards since first arriving in England in 2019.

Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on signing Celtic midfielder Arne Engels, according to a report from Football Insider.

His reputation then reached a…

Arsenal entered the summer transfer window with one clear priority: signing a new winger capable of helping them defend their Premier League title. The task became more complicated after Leandro Trossard was sold to Besiktas, stripping Mikel Arteta of one of his most reliable attacking options. Arsenal’s primary target was Morgan Rogers, but the club refused to match Chelsea’s bid of £117m, sending the England international to Stamford Bridge instead. Missing out on Rogers was a significant blow, but it also underscores a problem at Arsenal that has persisted since January 2018, when Alexis Sanchez left for Manchester United. Sanchez…
