Despite Unai Emery’s fresh ideas at Arsenal, ESPN FC’s Craig Burley isn’t so sure the Gunners will secure a top four spot.
Former Arsenal striker Paul Mariner is cautious over Arsenal’s chances of reaching the top four this season.
It is only three short years since Arsene Wenger achieved the notable feat of being the only Premier League manager not to sign a single outfield player during the transfer window. If the summer of 2015 seems like an era ago, that’s precisely because it was. The new hierarchy in place at Emirates Stadium have been rather more efficient in terms of signing players. Almost too efficient.
If transfer manoeuvres under Wenger sometimes felt undercooked as deals failed to get off the ground, or,…

The Super Lig outfit have yet to strike a deal for Fabri but have already begun making preparations for their first-choice keeper’s potential exit this summer, sources have indicated.
Ospina is on a shortlist of keepers Besiktas have drawn up should the 30-year-old join the recently promoted Premier League side.
The two deals could go in tandem…

Arsenal boss Unai Emery says the fight for the No. 1 goalkeeping position is wide open at the club even though he brought in Bernd Leno from Bayer Leverkusen this summer.
Leno is expected to challenge Petr Cech for the No. 1 spot, although Arsenal also still have David Ospina on their books — along with previous third-choice keeper Emiliano Martinez and academy product Matt Macey.
Emery said he plans on keeping three goalkeepers in the first-team squad, and that he hasn’t decided on a No. 1 yet.
“I…
The FC guys answer your tweets on Arsenal’s next No. 1 goalkeeper, what a 48-team World Cup will be like, Antoine Griezmann’s decision and more. Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina’s agent has said a move to Boca Juniors is unlikely, with the Colombia international looking to stay in Europe if he leaves.
Ospina’s future at the Emirates is in doubt after Bernd Leno arrived from Bayer Leverkusen earlier in the summer.
Agent Lucas Jaramillo confirmed that there was interest from Boca, but said they may not be able to afford him with reports suggesting Arsenal want up to £6 million for the Colombia international.
“He had an excellent World Cup,…

English Premier League: Henrikh Mkhitaryan (51′) Manchester United 1-1 Arsenal
Diego Simeone is making no excuses for his touchline antics after being sent off during Atletico Madrid’s Europa League semifinal.
Arsenal were handed an injury boost ahead of their Europa League semifinal against Atletico Madrid as Henrikh Mkhitaryan and David Ospina trained on Wednesday.
Manager Arsene Wenger said after Sunday’s loss to Manchester United that Mkhitaryan and Ospina could be doubts for the second leg in Madrid after picking up knocks in that game.
But they took part in the final training session before flying out to Madrid, as did Alex Iwobi who had also been an injury doubt.
Mkhitaryan returned from a knee…
The FC crew lambaste Arsenal’s wastefulness in front of goal and “amateur” defending to relinquish control of their semifinal tie to Atletico.
Arsene Wenger said Arsenal’s missed chances in their draw with Atletico leaves a ‘bitter taste’ after the side had ‘chances to be in the final.’
Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin says Arsenal’s performance against Atletico Madrid was positive despite the 1-1 draw at home in the first leg of their Europa League semifinal.
Ten-man Atletico withstood a first-half onslaught from Arsenal and grabbed a precious away goal, courtesy of Antoine Griezmann’s late equaliser.
Amid the disappointment of surrendering their lead to Atletico Madrid late on, Arsenal fans must surely have felt a pang of envy about the man who restricted them to a single goal. Jan Oblak was in outstanding form for the visitors, producing a series of saves that defied belief. In Oblak, Atletico have one of the world’s finest goalkeepers. Arsenal will be on the hunt for a new No. 1 this summer, and they’ll be desperate to find someone of comparable calibre.
Oblak’s finest saves were both…

The FC crew discuss the timing of Arsene Wenger’s decision to leave Arsenal, his legacy after 22 years at the club and what he will do next.
Arsenal’s squad could face a big — and according to some, much needed — overhaul this summer with the arrival of a new manager. Whoever takes up Arsene Wenger’s position will have some big decisions to make on which players to keep and which to sell as he tries to the Gunners back into title contenders.
Those decisions will, in part, be based on what type of system the new manager has in mind and which new signings he brings in during the transfer window. But here’s a prediction of which Arsenal…
