Julian Alvarez switch, Anthony Gordon & extra

Julian Alvarez appears like simply what Arsenal want, however is it real looking?

I’ve seen the Julian Alvarez hyperlinks and I’ve had plenty of Arsenal followers asking me about them. However I’ve to confess, I’d be stunned if there may be a lot to this aside from hypothesis.

The studies have emerged from Spain and counsel that Arsenal are the membership ‘pushing the toughest’ for Alvarez, however I simply can’t see it myself.

Don’t get me fallacious, I feel he can be an amazing signing for Arsenal. He would convey one thing to the assault that Mikel Arteta at the moment doesn’t have. He’s a reside wire, somebody who doesn’t cease pulling defenders out of place. He would add some chaos to how Arsenal play and I do assume the squad wants that.

I feel again to when Gabriel Jesus first arrived and that’s precisely what he provided in these early months when he ‘modified Arsenal’s world’, to make use of a quote as soon as utilized by Mikel Arteta.

I see quite a lot of what we noticed in Jesus in these first few months earlier than his harm on the World Cup in what Alvarez would convey, which is why it’s a transfer that may attraction to me.

Nevertheless it all simply feels a bit fanciful to me.

Initially Alvarez may be very comfortable in Spain by all accounts, he’s loving it over there and isn’t precisely pining for a return to the Premier League.

After which there may be the cash concerned. Gamers like Benjamin Sesko or Viktor Gyokeres wouldn’t come low cost, however they’d nonetheless be considerably cheaper than Alvarez can be, ought to he transfer on from Atletico.

They spent round £80 million to signal him from Manchester Metropolis final summer time and he’s been an enormous success since that transfer. So it could take an enormous price to prize him away from the Spanish capital.

So I simply don’t actually see this one having a lot legs, as thrilling a prospect as it might be.

Anthony Gordon linked with Arsenal, however Nico Williams can be extra probably

There’s lot of names being added to the combination in relation to a potential new left winger at Arsenal. Rodrygo is clearly one doing the rounds (lined right here by Mark Brus for CaughtOffside) as we wait to seek out out what Actual Madrid’s plans are for him.

However Anthony Gordon is one other that has been recommended as a potential goal for Arsenal.

He’s an fascinating participant, one who I’ve to confess has taken his sport to heights I didn’t count on him to achieve when he first made his transfer to Newcastle.

I used to be a type of who questioned the value Newcastle paid to signal Gordon from Everton, but it surely’s powerful to query that now. He’s clearly confirmed himself to be a high participant on the highest degree since he made his transfer to St James’ Park.

Had Newcastle not certified for the Champions league, then perhaps he might have been a chance. However they did safe a high 5 end, so the prospect of Gordon or any of their star gamers leaving now appears to be very slim.

I couldn’t actually see him heading to Arsenal anyway. Nico Williams has at all times been the membership’s precedence goal in relation to the left facet of the assault and in the event that they do make a transfer to strengthen in that space then I nonetheless count on the Athletic Bilbao winger to be the person they go after.

Max Dowman is simply too good for the Arsenal first-team to disregard

The thrill over Max Dowman has been effervescent away underneath the floor at Arsenal for a very long time now.

Even when he was 13 you’ll hear folks speaking about what this child was doing in opposition to older gamers whereas turning out for age teams a lot greater than his personal within the membership’s youth groups.

Arsenal have been understandably eager to maintain his skills underneath wraps for so long as potential. Not simply to maintain him away from rival golf equipment who may very well be seeking to lure him away, but in addition to attempt to decrease the expectations on such a younger participant.

Nevertheless it’s so tough now to maintain Dowman out of the limelight. His expertise has mainly made that unattainable, even on the age of simply 15.

Arsenal have been dealing with his improvement rigorously, but it surely’s been clear by the way in which he has been introduced into the first-team image by Mikel Arteta through the previous 12 months that the preparations are being accomplished for him to step as much as senior soccer.

Had it not been for the rules I actually assume we might have seen him characteristic sooner or later final season, so I’m definitely anticipating it to occur within the coming marketing campaign.

I feel how a lot we see of him mainly relies on how Dowman handles the step up and we’ll get our first good have a look at that through the pre-season tour later this summer time, which {the teenager} shall be part of offering he’s match.

Arteta may have a superb have a look at him on the tour. Not simply how he performs throughout his minutes on the pitch, however how he handles himself whereas he’s away with the squad.

There are pointers Arsenal must comply with as a membership after they have a participant so younger touring with them, however they confronted an identical state of affairs not too long ago with Ethan Nwaneri so they’re used to that.

That may make issues a bit tough for Dowman at first, but when he handles that nicely and exhibits that he can bodily take care of going up in opposition to senior gamers then I feel he’ll come into the reckoning in relation to getting some minutes subsequent season.

It’s right down to him often because the expertise is clearly there. He already appears far too good for the degrees he’s at the moment taking part in in.

Arsenal Girls’s spectacular Champions League success is nicely deserved

What the Arsenal Girls achieved final week in Lisbon was nothing wanting spectacular.

To return out on high in opposition to that Barcelona facet to win the Champions League was so, so spectacular and it was wealthy reward for all of the work the membership has put into the ladies’s sport over time.
