There’s no denying the fact that he’s been one of the best players in the Premier League during the campaign, and now, he has been officially confirmed as Arsenal’s player of the season. We are, of course, talking about Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, with the club making the following statement.

“We can now reveal our 2019/20 Player of the Season – as voted for by you, the fans.

Our overwhelming winner is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has enjoyed another sensational campaign in red and white, and claimed 74 per cent of the votes cast.  .......Read more here.....

We hope you’re all having as good of a time as you possibly can be right now given the bizarre set of circumstances that we’re currently faced with. As we look ahead to the immediate future, there’s no real telling as to when we’re going to receive the ‘all clear’ for life to go back to normal.

Perhaps this time away from the hustle and bustle of our everyday life will allow us to reflect on why exactly we love and admire it so much. If that is indeed the case, then we’d love to know what you guys have been up to in this downtime away from seeing the Gunners play.  .......Read more here.....

Arsenal are closing in on the signing of Gabriel Magalhaes from Lille OSC, according to the Daily Record.

The 22-year-old centre-back has attracted the attentions of a number of clubs across Europe and it was at one point believed he could follow forward Victor Osimhen from Lille to Napoli, but that option is now out. Everton were also interested but their interest has been cooled, while some reports suggest Manchester United are looking into the situation as well.  .......Read more here.....

Fans have been asking a string of questions in regards to the future of Pierre-Emerick Aubaemyang in recent months, and we haven’t really had all too many answers. We probably shouldn’t be surprised by that considering how hectic the end of the campaign has been, but now, it appears as if we’re edging closer and closer towards getting a definitive answer one way or the other.

As reported by The Telegraph, it seems as if the Gunners are closing in on a new three-year deal for the popular forward. Nobody really knows whether or not this is entirely accurate, but based on what we know up to this point, fans can be forgiven for getting a little bit excited.  .......Read more here.....

Despite strong efforts to ease the financial consequences of the still ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, Arsenal have revealed they’ve proposed 55 redundancies.

A statement on the club’s official website says:

“Our aim has been to protect the jobs and base salaries of our people for as long as we possibly can. Unfortunately, we have now come to the point where we are proposing 55 redundancies.

“We do not make these proposals lightly and have looked at every aspect of the club and our expenditure before reaching this point. We are now entering the required 30-day consultation period on these proposals.”  .......Read more here.....

Arsenal have reportedly been in talks to sign Willian from Chelsea on a free transfer this summer, and according to Sky Sports, they’ve now emerged as favourites to get the deal done ahead of several other interested clubs.

It seems the Brazilian winger is very keen on the idea of working with Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta and technical director Edu, and that is why his mind is now turned towards the Emirates. Nothing has been set as definite as of yet with Chelsea still to face Bayern Munich in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 this week, but a decision is expected to be made soon afterwards, given that the Blues practically have no chance of going through in the competition, having lost the first leg at Stamford Bridge by 0-3.  .......Read more here.....

According to reports in France, captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang wants Arsenal to sign Ousmane Dembele from Barcelona this summer.

Despite the 2019/20 season now being well and truly over, despite the FA Cup residing safely at the Emirates and a place in next term’s Europa League bearing Arsenal’s name, the future of Aubameyang is yet to be resolved. The Gabonese forward scored two goals in the final at Wembley, enough to overturn Christian Pulisic’s opener and clinch the trophy, and his quality and contribution to this team cannot be disputed.  .......Read more here.....

Many fans are still basking in the glory of Arsenal’s FA Cup Final triumph over Chelsea last weekend, and rightly so. It was the sort of victory that helps supporters to forget about what came before in the Premier League, with the Gunners failing to really make any kind of impact in the top flight. Sure, the sacking of Unai Emery disrupted their flow, but there was a whole lot more to it than that.  .......Read more here.....

Arsenal have long been a name on the list of clubs potentially interested in signing Willian, should the 32-year-old winger leave Chelsea as a free agent this summer.

For his part, Willian has been trying find common ground over an extension with his current club, and though wages he would be earning aren’t any kind of an obstacle for him to put his name on the dotted line, Chelsea aren’t willing to meet his demands over the length of the proposed new contract. The player obviously wants long-term security as he angles for a three-year deal, while the Blues are well-known for having reservations about signing players over 30 on long-lasting contracts. The difference in their respective aims could see them lose a player who helped them win two Premier League titles, an FA Cup and League Cup apiece, as well as the Europa League last year.  .......Read more here.....

Many felt as if it was incredibly unlikely, but when it mattered the most, Arsenal Football Club stepped up to the plate and got the job done as they captured the FA Cup once again on Saturday evening. They were able to come from behind to beat London rivals Chelsea 2-1 in the final at Wembley, cementing their place in next season’s UEFA Europa League in the process.

After the game, Gunners manager Mikel Arteta took the time to reflect on the victory when speaking with the media in his post-match press conference.  .......Read more here.....
