Arsenal have scored 10 long-range goals from outside the penalty area this season, second only to Manchester City (12) and Chelsea (11), and 10 long-range goals from outside the box have exceeded Arsenal's long-range goals scored in the past two seasons combined (8).
On the other hand, the yellow card he won in the last game was his 50th yellow card in the Premier League for Arsenal, after Vieira's 72.
Long-range shooting has been Arsenal's weakness over the past few seasons, but in fact, Xhaka, Herneny and Thomas are all good long-range shooters, Erdegaard, Saka and others also have the ability to fire long-range guns, plus Arteta obviously encourages shooting (otherwise Tavares does not dare to fire cannons), and the increase in the number of long-range goals is reasonable.
Sometimes there is no better idea to pass around, and it is a good idea to shoot at a distance.
Saka has created 62 chances in the Premier League this season, with only Arnold (83) and WardPlaus (67) among England players creating more chances in the league than Saka.
Saka has been steadily advancing since his amazing debut, and the keyness, comprehensiveness and ability to hammer the final word this season have been further improved, look at manchester United's Erlanga and Sancho and others, Arsenal can have Saka is a blessing for the club!
Now that Saka is basically fixed on the right, this position is very suitable for him, both to cut inside and to pull the side of the cross, Saka's right foot cross is actually very accurate, which is often overlooked (of course, it can also be adjusted to the left foot pass).
Let's take a look at the rumors.
The Mirror scooped up because Bellerin was preparing to convert his loan spell at Betis into a direct transfer in the summer.
Bellerin has played 31 games for Betis this season, 28 of which are starting appearances, including the recent Copa del Rey final, where Arsenal's loan stars are clearly ahead of Sabali and Montoya in appearances, the Mirror said that Bellerin's priority is to stay at Betis next season and he hopes an agreement can be reached between the two clubs.
It is reported that despite winning the Copa del Rey and promising european qualification for next season, Betis is still not financially well-off, but Bellerin is willing to accept a salary cut to facilitate the transfer.
Although not JC's news, discerning people knew that Bellerin was willing to stay in Betis and Arsenal was willing to sell him.
But in view of Bellerin's contract, I am afraid that Arsenal want to sell people directly, so it is estimated that renewing the lease for one year is not feasible, and if it is sold directly, I don't know how much Bettis is willing to pay, Bellelin is not old, and in La Liga, how to get more than 15 million ...
Arsenal will be talking to Pepe about his future at the end of the season, with the winger struggling to get playtime this season and hasn't started in the Premier League since Last October.
Arsenal are likely to bring in two strikers this summer, and one of them could be a winger at the same time, which will further affect Pepe's playing time.
Similar to what The Sun reporter MI said, Pepe is likely to be pushed into the transfer market in the summer.
However, the original text of the evening flag newspaper also said that even if Pepe and Arsenal may be willing to break up, it is not easy to find a buyer, after all, Pepe's weekly salary is 140,000, and Arsenal will definitely have transfer fee requirements.
But I am not worried about this problem, in recent years Arsenal's operation has proved that there are no people who cannot be sent, originally I thought that Aubameyang, William and others were hot potatoes, but all of them were smoothly cleaned, in the final analysis: sell it if you can sell it, send it if you can't sell it...
As long as you are not afraid of losing money, are you afraid of not being able to sell it, as the saying goes, there is no goods that cannot be sold, only the price that cannot be sold...
Arsenal's selling has been a bit of a failure in recent years, and hopefully the team will improve on the right track, as half-sell, half-give-away is by no means a sustainable model.
Erdegaard recently said that if Haaland landed in the Premier League, then he should join Arsenal.
In an interview with Stadium Astro, Odegaard said: "Haaland is a very interesting guy, he is a good friend of mine and a really good player.
We'll see what he's going to do, I don't know, but if he comes to England, he needs to join us at Arsenal, of course!
No, I don't know what he's going to do, but he's a great guy and honestly neither of us has discussed much about this. I know a lot of people are trying to ask him and tell him what to do, but I don't want to do it, so let's walk and see. ”
In fact, this is just Adgne Odegaard's joke, although everything is possible, but if Haaland comes to the Premier League, 9% is Manchester City, let's focus on Jesus...
Romano spoke on the Here We Go Podcast about Edu's plans and rumors about Arsenal and Jesus.
On Edu: "A few days ago Edu said in an interview 'now it's time for us to sign 1-2 players'. Let me clarify here that last summer was an evolution for Arsenal, and this summer Arsenal need to sign 1-2 important Champions League-level players and then some savvy signings. ”
On Jesus: "He's one of the most important players on Arsenal's signing squad this summer and his agent has been in contact with Arsenal, though the Gunners haven't discussed transfer fees with Manchester City yet, which will take weeks. ”
The matter of Edu, I explained, Romano actually said it very clearly.
Edu said Arsenal need to "sign 1-2 players", here 1-2 players refer to big stars, top players, not Arsenal summer to buy one or two people, according to Romano and other reporters, Arsenal's summer plan is to introduce 1-2 big stars, with multiple "shrewd signings", I personally estimate that even buying 6-7 people is possible, let alone 3-5 people.
Jesus is more obvious, let's talk about it together.
London football journalist CWY said that Jesus and Tammy Abraham are both forwards who are likely to land at the Emirates Stadium this summer, and Edu has been in talks with Jesus' agent for months.
Edu and Jesus' agent are very close, and Arsenal first asked about the possibility of signing the striker last November, with the Gunners expected to submit a £35m offer in the summer to buy the Brazilian, while Manchester City could give Jesus more playing time before the end of the season to raise his price.
On the other hand, Tammy Abraham, who has scored 24 goals this season, is also an Arsenal target, and CWY said the Gunners will focus on bringing in two big stars this summer, but London football also understands that Roma's asking price for Abraham is as high as 80 million euros, which may scare away many potential buyers.
At present, the news about Jesus is basically very positive and hopeful, but in fact, everything is still inconclusive, let's look at Goal's statement.
Goal reporter TF news (CWS has been reprinted), Jesus' agent has been in talks with Arsenal on the summer transfer, the striker hopes to play a more important role in the future, this season Jesus has played 24 Premier League games, of which only 17 are starting.
Arsenal want to sign Jesus in the summer to strengthen the front, and the player's agent Pittombella has begun talks with Edu, but so far everything is still in the early stages, and the negotiations between the two sides have not yet touched on issues such as wages.
On the other hand, Jesus believes he can get more opportunities at Arsenal, but Gold also said that the Brazilian will not take measures to force Manchester City to release, in fact, Jesus is still likely to agree on a contract extension with Manchester City.
To summarize Jesus' problem:
So far, at least, Arsenal have not negotiated the issue of transfer fees with Manchester City, and the deal has only reached the level of engagement with the player team at most.
Regarding the transfer fee, CWY said Arsenal are ready to quote £35m, which is not low for a non-homegrown player whose contract is about to expire, but it is unclear whether City agrees and whether there are other giants to compete further.
And even if it is the individual negotiation of the players, there is no unified statement now, there are reports that Arsenal and Jesus have reached an agreement, but Gold here also said that the two sides have not yet talked about the issue of salary, and even do not rule out the possibility of Jesus' contract extension, so it is still too early.
I personally think that Jesus is more likely to leave the team than to stay in the team, but this does not mean that he will definitely join Arsenal, and even if Manchester City signs Haaland, in fact, it is still necessary to keep Jesus on the front line, so it is really impossible to rule out the possibility of their retention, the current news is only that Jesus is willing to join Arsenal, and does not say that he is eager to even push for a transfer.
Summary: Arsenal's purchase of Jesus is promising, but it is still far from being finalized.
Manchester City Evening News Manchester United editor-in-chief SL news, Wolves are considering the replacement of Ruben Neves, the midfielder is expected to leave the team this summer.
SL said Arsenal and Barca were the only clubs that had shown substantial interest in Neves at the moment, but the star's agent was hoping United would also be in the scramble.
DO also said that Arsenal are interested in Neves, Sky Sports has also reported, so the interest is confirmable, but arsenal will not be able to quote yet, Tillemans should be cheaper than him (the contract is about to expire), so it will have to wait until the summer.
Both Neves and Tillemans are good choices, and signing them plus new strikers is really exciting for next season!
Of course, Arsenal will finish this season well first...
