It’s clear to anyone with even a passing interest in football that Arsenal are still a team on the rise.
Although they have yet to manage just one FA Cup win under Mikel Arteta, the foundations remain in place for the north Londoners to go from strength to strength.
There will be a time when the club’s hierarchy will almost certainly put the pressure on the Spaniard if the trophies don’t come, however, the consistency that Arsenal continue to show should ensure that silverware won’t take too long to arrive Emirates Stadium. .
To have the best chance of a title shot, apart from keeping key players injury-free, the Gunners must ensure their best players are not tempted by moves elsewhere.
When big clubs like Real Madrid start turning heads, it’s bound to turn a player’s head.
Los Blancos are serial winners at domestic and European level, and their position in the game means the club doesn’t even need to be ‘sold’ to potential new signings, because their history speaks for itself.
Message from Arsenal to Real Madrid about the star man
according to Football transfersthe Spanish giants have a genuine interest in Arsenal’s brilliant centre-back William Saliba.
The Frenchman has been solid of late and his partnership with Gabriel is arguably the best in world football at the moment.
While Saliba himself has shown no desire to leave Arsenal, the Gunners have sent an unequivocal message to their Spanish counterparts, say Football Transfers.
Real have been told in no uncertain terms that the defender is not for sale at any price.
As a player, this might be the kind of statement you want to hear from your employers, and the only problem for Arsenal now is that they finally bring home a trophy or two.
