The 18-year-old rose to prominence last month after scoring twice against Norwich City to send the Gunners through to the quarter-finals of the League Cup. More spectacular was the fact that the teenager netted his first goal, an equalizer, just 15 seconds into his debut, before scoring the winner in extra-time. “I worked with Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah when I was with the Under-18s and I was delighted to see him grab two goals in the Carabao Cup win over Norwich....

Discipline in midfield Arsenal’s midfielders in recent years have had the tendency to push far too high leaving the defense open and vulnerable. Granit Xhaka looked especially error-prone in the previous Arsenal system and lacked a capable partner in the pivot. Emery, however, has made a good deal of progress in ensuring that his midfielders maintain discipline and do not over commit. Lucas Torreira has been particularly important in nullifying Xhaka’s weaknesses and allowing him to utilize his passing to the fullest...

Wilshere is at Bournemouth on a season-long loan deal from the Gunners, with AC Milan and West Ham among the clubs reportedly keen to move for him if he opts not to extend his contract at Emirates Stadium, which expires in 2018. The 25-year-old has played 24 Premier League games this season, but has been left out of Howe’s starting line-up for four consecutive matches, including Saturday’s 0-0 derby draw against Southampton....

Six months ago, the sentence ‘Bayern Munich want to strengthen their central defence by signing Laurent Koscielny from Arsenal’ would have rightly been laughed at. But now, it looks a real possibility. For the last three months of the season, Koscielny was the best defender in the Premier League. He came into the team at the Allianz against Bayern, and his partnership with Per Mertesacker immediately looked a good match as they were the only defensive unit to stop Bayern from scoring in Europe all season....

This summer Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, will be heading out on lucrative pre-season tours again with coronavirus restrictions having eased in most countries. Arsenal are set for an eventful pre-season, which involves a trip to the US, including Premier League clashes with Everton and Chelsea, ahead of facing Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on the season opener on August 5. Here’s a look at the Gunners’ pre-season schedule and results....

Sanchez and Ozil both have contracts until June 2018, but Arsenal are keen to hold on to the duo beyond next season. Talks over a renewal have not been profitable, though, and Arsenal have therefore decided to end negotiations for now and focus on finishing the season on a high. “At the moment, there is no agreement with Sanchez,” Wenger told beIN Sports. “We have decided to focus on the end of the season and talk about it during the summer....

Get odds on Arsenal-Leicester The striker moved to the Emirates Stadium from Lyon this month for a reported fee of £52.7million, making him the club’s most expensive player. Lacazette scored on his debut in a 2-0 friendly win over Sydney FC, having hit 28 goals in 28 starts in Ligue 1 last season. But Pires, who enjoyed a decorated six-year spell at Arsenal from 2000 to 2006, believes the 26-year-old could find it as difficult as he did to make the transition to England’s top flight....

The Frenchman will leave the club at the end of the season, calling time on a 22-year reign in north London. Arsenal must subsequently find a replacement, and the former Liverpool boss has been heavily linked with the post. Indeed, Rodgers has plenty of Premier League experience, and took the Reds to second in 2013-14, just two points behind eventual champions Manchester City. And Merson has called for the 45-year-old to be installed as Wenger’s successor....

Bramall, 20, has signed a two-year deal with Wenger’s side after joining from non-league side Hednesford Town for a fee in the region of £40,000. He spent two days on trial at the club in December and did enough to impress the watchful eye of Wenger and his coaching staff, who invited him to take part in a first team training session. Alexis right to be angry at Arsenal...

The former Arsenal captain’s first game in charge ended as a draw against Eddie Howe’s Bournemouth but onto the upcoming home game, all will be hoping for Arsenal to turn their fortunes around and secure all three points. Despite beating Tottenham away from home last weekend, Chelsea slipped to a shocking 0-2 defeat to Southampton on Boxing Day. The result intensified the race to finish in the top four with Spurs and Sheffield United just three points away from the Blues....

The Frenchman has been linked with a move to Barcelona as the current Camp Nou incumbent is under increasing pressure after the Blaugrana dropped to third in La Liga following two defeats in three games. Wenger agreed terms over a new deal at Emirates Stadium back in October but because he has yet to officially sign the contract, Barcelona had been mooted as a potential destination. However, Wenger has moved to quash reports that he is ready to leave his post in north London and head for Spain, telling reporters: "My commitment is here and nowhere else....

Nearly all the gulag-era works in the museum share a similarly wrenching story. And there are more than 30,000 of them, largely unseen examples of Soviet avant-garde and unofficial art tucked away in a dilapidated two-story building in Nukus, the site of a former chemical-weapons plant, on the edge of the Uzbek desert in Central Asia. The vast majority of the paintings are stacked by the thousands in the museum’s basement; the rest are packed tightly on the walls of dim rooms....

Neck arthritis can cause neck pain, stiffness, tingling, numbness, and headaches as well as neck clicking at the base of the skull. Arthritis neck pain can sometimes be severe and may lead to muscle spasms and shooting pains in the shoulders, back, legs, thighs, and buttocks. If nerves are compressed by collapsing spinal bones, there can also be arm or leg weakness, lack of muscle coordination, or the loss of bladder or bowel control....

Police arrested James and Jennifer Crumbley in Sikora’s studio early Saturday morning and said 65-year-old artist could be charged if they determine he played a role in their disappearance. The Crumbleys proved hard to find after their 15-year-old son fatally shot four classmates last week, though their attorney argues they weren’t hiding. Sikora’s attorney, Clarence Dass, said the studio owner didn’t know that the Crumbleys faced criminal charges when he allowed them to stay, according to local station WJBK-TV....

Earlier this month, the Treasury announced around 4 million Economic Impact Payments (EIPs) would be sent as cards, with qualifying adults receiving up to $1,200 and children up to $500 each in funds under the CARES Act. In a statement, released May 27, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) said it wanted to remind taxpayers some payments are being sent by prepaid debit card and highlighted that they arrive in a plain envelope from “Money Network Cardholder Services....

When DC Comics began its semi-successful attempt to compete with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Zack Snyder was the primary creative voice behind its direction. As it has gone on, it has taken on a variety of new directions through the many new filmmakers brought into the extended universe, leaving one to wonder what the DCEU would look like today if Snyder still ran the show. RELATED: Superman’s Inherent Goodness Doesn’t Mean He Can’t Have A Meaningful Story Arc...

The nice thing is, “Junior” isn’t exactly the movie you’d imagine it to be. It’s broad, but not that broad. it has pratfalls, but farce is not the tone Reitman’s after. Since “Dave.” he’s become a more discreet, understated director, and the best scenes here don’t go for knee-slapping responses. There’s the pregnant Arnold pigging out with DeVito’s pregnant ex-wife Pamela Reed at the dinner table, overcome by strange food cravings, or the funny/lovely moment when Arnold becomes teary-eyed watching a sappy Kodak commercial....
