According to German magazine Kicker, the two Premier League clubs have expressed interest in Bayern Munich midfielder Marcel Sabitzer. The Austrian star has found himself on the bench more often than not in Germany and could fancy a move to the Premier League. Tottenham Hotspur had been linked to Marcel Sabitzer in the summer transfer window last year but were beaten to his signature by a determined Bayern Munich management....

Twelve months later and Arsenal are in a similar situation in both the league and the cup but there’s a key difference. Last time around Arsenal had the weight of expectation exacerbated by a long trophy drought, a litany of big match defeats behind them and a stuttering end to the season after a strong start. This time Arsenal have the confidence of big match wins and the momentum of a strong run towards the end of the season after a stuttering start....

Unai Emery took over the reins following Arsene Wenger’s departure in the summer. Emery had a difficult choice to make as he inherited a squad with two premium quality strikers in Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Initially, Emery chose to start with Aubameyang and offered Lacazette opportunities off the bench. However, as of late, he has been starting both the strikers to contrasting outcomes. Aubameyang and Lacazette have now started 3 games together this season and the Gunners look all the richer for it....

The Gunners beat Everton 3-1 on the final day of the Premier League season at Emirates Stadium, despite having captain Laurent Koscielny sent off, but it was not enough to lift them into the top four. Manchester City’s 5-0 win at Watford and Liverpool’s 3-0 victory over Middlesbrough ensured they claimed the final two Champions League spots, behind champions Chelsea and second-place Tottenham. Next season will be Arsenal’s first outside Europe’s top competition since 1996-97, which was Wenger’s first in English football, and they must instead take part in the Europa League....

Aaron Ramsey’s late goal seven minutes from time, which inspired this claw-back, had been coming. The hosts had retreated fatefully into their own area as the Gunners began to control proceedings despite the scoreline and clock being against them. For that certain defiance, at 2-0 down, they deserve credit. In the end, Arsene Wenger’s use of substitutes bore results for him at Goodison Park. That was simply because elements of his starting XI were far beneath the standard required for a title challenge....

Brazil international Coutinho has seen Antoine Griezmann arrive at Camp Nou, while former Blaugrana favourite Neymar continues to be discussed as a possible target. Coutinho’s relatively unsuccessful 18-month stint at Barca could therefore be heading towards its conclusion, with Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Liverpool mooted as potential destinations. There were also claims Arsenal were looking at a temporary deal for the 27-year-old. It was reported in Spain that Coutinho had turned the approach down, but Emery, while a fan of the player, says no such move was made....

Goal reported the loan for Zelalem to VVV last week. There were rumors early in January of a move to Borussia Dortmund, but that transfer never came to fruition. Dembele flies to London amid Chelsea links It is the 20-year-old midfielder’s second loan in as many years. He joined Scottish side Rangers last season as the Glasgow club was fighting its way back to Scotland’s top-flight. He made 21 appearances for Rangers last season, 15 of them starts....

“But our record against Chelsea recently has been good. We won at the Emirates last year, we won the FA Cup final and on penalties in the Community Shield so let’s just continue to focus on the quality of our game and not too much where we play. “Chelsea looked comfortable after 20 minutes [in midweek against Qarabag] but that doesn’t bother me. I think we need to focus on our performance and play our game....

Lacazette 4/1 to score first Olivier Giroud, meanwhile, starts from the bench as Lacazette received the nod from Wenger to start the season as first-choice centre-forward. Alexis Sanchez is missing with an abdominal complaint, with his place filled by Danny Welbeck. Further back, Rob Holding enters the defence in Laurent Koscielny’s place due to the one-game ban the Frenchman received after being sent off in the FA Cup final....

The winger is in “sterling” form this season and the clarification puts any new transfer rumours to bed for the near future. Wenger positive about Ozil stay The German is expected to leave the club in 2018 once his contract runs out and Arsenal have failed to renew his contract so far. However, recent news stated that progress is being made and now Wenger spoke out on the situation. The Arsenal boss told The Mirror:...

In case you didn’t know… The Japanese attacking midfielder spent two seasons at Stuttgart, before he joined Hannover on a season-long loan in 2018-19. The heart of the matter Arsenal’s statement regarding Asano’s move was as follows: With regards to the transfer fee, The Gunners did not state how much Partizan paid for the midfielder. However, it has been confirmed by Arseblog that the Serbian side will pay Arsenal £1 million for the attacker in three separate installments....

Arsenal and Manchester United face off at the Emirates on Wednesday, with both looking to bounce back instantly from massive weekend disappointments. Arsenal were knocked off top spot in humiliating fashion as they went down 5-1 at Liverpool, while United’s recent travails continued with a home draw against bottom of the league Fulham. Arsenal remain a point behind first-placed Chelsea but know they will need a victory against their former title rivals in order to maintain their push, while United need a victory to relaunch their top four campaign, especially after Jose Mourinho expressed his sorrow for the club’s current situation...

The Gunners were on the front foot from the first minute, and despite fielding a side far from first-choice when compared with Lyon, Mikel Arteta’s men made the ‘men against boys’ trope look all too literal as they went 3-0 up within 39 first-half minutes. Gabriel Magalhaes went close with an early header, but made his second effort count as he towered above the defence to put Arsenal ahead with a bullet header....

Wilshere has been used sparingly in the past few games at Arsenal owing to an ankle injury, but he played 71 minutes against Chile and came on for the last 26 minutes against Germany. Wenger said, “First of all Jack is not injured, that was not the right information.” “Secondly, I have no problem with the Football Association. They respected completely what they told me and it was for Wilshere to play in one game and be on the bench in the other....

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger gave his usual pre-match press conference at the Emirates yesterday during which he talked about Wilshere’s issue with the English FA and the return of speedster Theo Walcott. Arsenal vs Southampton is certainly one of the big games of the weekend and three points against the high-flying Southampton side would mean that the Gunners can open up the gap at the top of the table while the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea have tough games as well with a possibility of dropping points....

Temple fought the merger because of his belief that current movies and TV shows are bad for kids; he even disapproved of Time Inc.’s profitable HBO unit. Temple criticized the company’s decision–upheld in the Delaware courts–not to put the merger to a shareholder vote. “It’s unbelievable that the courts would have treated the shareholders as they did,” he says. Under this precedent, “management is able to hire the top law firms with shareholder money and use them to emasculate you....

To be clear, Artifact seeing a spike of popularity does not mean that it’s suddenly popular. It’s just evidence that Valve’s announcement has led to some renewed interest in the game. According to scraped Steam data, Artifact saw a peak of over 1,100 concurrent players following its development ending and it going free-to-play. That’s the highest total and sustained concurrent players that Artifact has seen since early 2019. RELATED: Twitch Sues Users for Streaming Porn, Copyright Movies Under Artifact Directory...

While Papa Freedom’s Destiny 2 armor sets aren’t 100% new creations, as they use retrofitted versions of some of the game’s existing assets, the artist has successfully leveraged Skyrim’s iconic design language to come up with a new look for each of the three Guardian classes. Alongside the armor sets, Papa Freedom also worked on creating Destiny Exotic versions of the Auriel’s Bow and Dawnbreaker weapons from Skyrim, completing the collection....
