Rob Holding outlines Arsenal ambitions ahead of West Brom clash

We are now a week into the January transfer window and things are starting to heat up off the pitch for Arsenal.

Mikel Arteta has officially confirmed Arsenal have signed a "young talent" in Omar Rekik.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has claimed Folarin Balogun's agent has hindered the player's contract talks, with the teenage prospect reportedly close to agreeing an exit. Balogun is out of contract with the Gunners in the summer and able to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs.Asked about the player's contract situation at his pre-match press conference ahead of the FA Cup clash with Newcastle, Arteta hit out at Balogun's agent."You need three parties to make a deal," Arteta said.

Mikel Arteta says Arsenal's "main signing" Thomas Partey is "in a good space and a good mood" and is nearly ready to return.

Mikel Arteta has hinted that Mesut Ozil’s Arsenal future will be decided “within days”. The German reportedly agreed a three-year deal with Fenerbahce on Wednesday, ending his £350,000-a-week deal with the Gunners.

Arsenal have accidentally revealed their new signing after pictures emerged of the player in training with his new teammates. Omar Rekik was spotted at the club's Colney training ground in St Albans with the development squad.The 19-year-old was part of a swap deal with Matteo Guendouzi, with the Frenchman joining Hertha Berlin over the summer.The Gunners already agreed a £900,000 fee with the Germans when negotiations took place during the last transfer window.That has been knocked down to closer to £500,000 after a deal failed to go through in time.

Arsenal legend Ian Wright has hailed Mikel Arteta for his “perfect” management of one star to avoid a Serge Gnabry situation. The Gunners have been criticised for their management of academy players as part of their transfer strategy over the years.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is continuing to overhaul his squad as he continues to fire the Gunners up the Premier League table.

Arsenal are set to confirm their first signing of the January transfer window, according to reports.

Arsenal but it wasn’t the best starts for the young defender.Saliba returned to France as he joined Nice for the rest of the season having previously impressed with Saint-Etienne.Arsenal signed him in 2019 for £27m though he is yet to make an appearance for the Gunners and was left out of Mikel Arteta’s side this campaign.It’s hoped that a spell with Nice will help Saliba though his first match with the Ligue 1 side ended in defeat.Indeed the clash with Brest was all but over inside the first half an hour with Steve Mounie and Franck Honorat netting.Saliba was also booked early on for a late tackle as he overran the ball when attempting to dribble out from the back.Saliba was involved in both goals as he tried to catch Mounie offside befure

Mikel Arteta's reluctance to hand Mesut Ozil an Arsenal lifeline continues to baffle sections of the Gunners faithful - but there may be a reason behind the manager's approach.

Ozil is in negotiations with the MLS side, who have offered him an 'attractive' package, according to Football London.

Compared to the lengthy well wishes William Saliba was handed prior to his loan move this week, Matteo Guendouzi’s goodbye was merely a pat on the back.
