Arsenal have completed the signing of 30-year-old Greek defender, Sokratis Papastathopoulos from Borussia Dortmund. We have known for some time that the player would become the third signing of the summer, joining Bernd Leno and Stephan Lichtsteiner as new arrivals of the Unai Emery era. He should add quality and experience to a backline that […]
Arsenal are set to complete the signing of Sokratis Papastathopoulos on a £17m deal from Borussia Dortmund, as Daily Star. The 29-year-old centre-back has been on Unai Emery’s radar to add leadership and experience to the Arsenal backline following the nasty injury suffered by Laurent Koscielny.

Arsenal have completed their first signing of the Unai Emery era by announcing the arrival of Stephan Lichtsteiner on a free transfer. At previous club Juventus, Lichtsteiner made 257 appearances over a seven-year period that saw the club win 14 major honours. It is unsurprising therefore that the one-time Grasshopper academy graduate was very […]
This has been a huge week for Arsenal: after Arsene Wenger left the club on Monday, the man tasked with building on his 22-year legacy has been confirmed as Unai Emery, appointed on a three-year contract.

Will Spain get back to the top? Which big team will underperform? Which small team will cause an upset? So many questions that will […]
The only way for Arsenal to justify their embarrassing performance in Thursday’s 2-1 defeat to Ostersunds FK, was to deliver a competitive display in Sunday’s Carabao Cup Final. Instead, strikes from Sergio Aguero, Vincent Kompany and David Silva saw opponents Manchester City win that game 3-0. The encounter, which became one-sided in the second half, […]
The League Cup Final holds this Sunday at Wembley with two clubs looking to get the better of the other. Manchester City and Arsenal face off in a repeat of last season’s FA Cup semi-final, but this time a trophy is the reward for victory. City are favourites for this clash, but Arsenal have a fantastic record […]
Such was the fanfare that surrounded the January signings of Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, it was easy to forget where Arsenal need strengthening most. That is not to say that either player won’t make a big contribution, but that our arrivals aren’t intended to shore up a defence that has conceded 36 goals in […]
