Lazio wasted a two-goal lead against Milan, who rallied back in the second half to rescue a draw at the Stadio Olimpico.
Matteo Cancellieri opened the scoring early on, while Tijjani Noslin ensured the Biancocelesti headed to the interval with a deserved two-goal lead. However, the momentum changed after the break, and Diego Moreira's introduction proved decisive. The Belgian scored twice between the 65th and 67th minutes to restore parity.
So, here are our player ratings for Lazio, who temporarily sit at the top of the Serie A table after picking up a solitary point against Milan.
Christos Mandas – 6
A mixed bag from the Greek, who made solid saves to deny Samuel Chukwueze and Christian Pulisic in particular, but allowed Moreira's shot to go between his legs on Milan's first goal. His poor distribution repeatedly cost Lazio possession, at times in dangerous areas.

Martin Odegaard said ***** nal have proven they will always 'keep fighting' after a comeback win against Chelsea at the Emirates.
Arsenal fell behind inside two minutes when former transfer target Morgan Rogers volleyed Chelsea ahead, with the £117m signing striking low into the bottom corner after the Gunners failed to deal with a set piece.
The champions came back into the game and had a Riccardo Calafiori effort for an offside, but levelled when Kai Havertz drilled inside Emi Martinez's near post on 25 minutes.
An entertaining London Derby continued at a frantic pace, with Pedro Neto striking the woodwork for Chelsea before half-time.
Odegaard ultimately settled the game after a beautifully worked ***** nal goal five minutes after the restart. The Norwegian's call for Kai Havertz to leave Christos Tzolis' pass was granted, with Odegaard emphatically slamming in the winner for the champions.

Mikel Arteta has reacted to ****** nal's failure to sign a top-class forward during the summer transfer window by insisting he is happy with the squad he has at the Emirates Stadium.
Premier League champions ****** nal missed out on targets Morgan Rogers, Vinicius Junior and Julian Alvarez, while only bringing in Greek winger Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge.
Meanwhile, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli all left the north London club to reduce the Gunners' options up front.
But ****** nal manager Arteta, speaking to reporters on Friday, said: "I love the players that we have, that is for sure. It is what it is, this is what we have and we already have some very, very good players.
"Let's trust them and let's make sure we are right behind them, and I will do everything we can to help the incredible talent that we have."

Premier League clubs have smashed their summer transfer record with over £3.3bn spent. More than half of the Premier League's clubs broke their transfer records in a summer window featuring four of the top flight's five most expensive ever deals.
Manchester City completed the biggest deal on the final hours of the window by singing Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea for £125m, while Liverpool paid £120m for Bradley Barcola, Chelsea made Morgan Rogers their record signing for £117m and Tottenham also broke the £100m barrier by recruiting midfielder Sandro Tonali.
City were the biggest spenders overall with around £435m paid in transfer fees, followed by Chelsea (£349.8m) and Tottenham (£315m). Chelsea recouped the most in sales (£385m) with Aston Villa also receiving more than £300m in transfer fees after selling six of the players who started last season's Europa League final.
But who got value in the market or which club is now fearing the worst? Here's how every club rated at the end of another hectic transfer window:
Ins: Bruno Guimaraes (£75m), Ezri Konsa (£51m), Piero Hincapie (£45m), Christos Tzolis (£34m), Illan Meslier (free), Elijah Upson (free), Igor Tyjon (undisclosed fee), James Scanlon (undisclosed fee)

Hull City have ended a busy summer transfer window with a late double swoop for Sorba Thomas and Christos Mouzakitis, taking their total number of new arrivals to 18.
Thomas joins from Stoke City in a deal worth around £7.5 million, with add-ons potentially taking the fee close to £10m. The 27-year-old winger has signed a four-year contract after registering 10 goals and 13 ***** ists in 45 Championship appearances last season.
Mouzakitis arrives from Olympiacos for a reported £13m and has committed his future to the Tigers until 2031. The 19-year-old midfielder made 39 appearances last season, featuring in all 10 of Olympiacos' Champions League matches.
A Greece international, Mouzakitis has 11 caps and won the Golden Boy Web award in 2025.
The teenager becomes Hull's 18th and final signing of the summer, capping an ambitious window following their return to the Premier League after nine years away.

Mikel Arteta has said **** nal will try to improve their squad right up until the transfer deadline this evening.
The summer transfer window shuts at 11pm this evening forPremier League clubs, who are racing to get deals done before the deadline.
Arsenal have made five senior signings so far this summer, adding Bruno Guimaraes, Illan Meslier, Christos Tzolis and Ezri Konsa to their **** le-winning squad. Piero Hincapie has also signed for the Gunners permanently after joining on an initial loan deal from Bayer Leverkusen last summer.
The North Londoners remain keen to add further options to their squad and have held talks with Lyon over winger Malick Fofana. The French side value the 21-year-old at around €40m. **** nal have also monitored Julian Alvarez's ongoing situation at Atletico Madrid.
Speaking at hispress conference after the Premier League champions secured a hard-fought 1-0 win at Aston Villa, Arteta said **** nal are actively trying to make signings in the final hours of the window.

Arsenal were never likely to have it as easy as they did in the 3-0 opening-day win over Coventry City, but they did more than enough to merit the three points here.
Shots and clear chances were at a premium - they only had two shots on target, which was two more than Villa.
Gabriel Magalhaes and Bukayo Saka had efforts off target in the first half.
They thought they were going to have a penalty when Saka was fouled by Ian Maatsen – but VAR made it a free-kick instead, which Martin Odegaard curled just wide.
The goal came when Eberechi Eze, a half-time substitute for the booked Christos Tzolis, fed Riccardo Calafiori and the left-back laid the ball on a plate for Saka to score for the third time at Villa Park in his Premier League career.

#target #half #gabriel

Arsenal travel to Villa Park on Monday looking to continue a perfect start to the season, having won the Community Shield and beaten Coventry City 3-0 in their Premier League opener without conceding.
Mikel Arteta's side could become the first in the club's 140-year history to win five consecutive opening away fixtures of a Premier League season.
Jurrien Timber remains out with a groin issue, and William Saliba is a long-term absentee with a back problem. Bruno Guimaraes has a minor groin issue of his own but Arteta has not ruled him out of contention. New signing Ezri Konsa, who joined this summer from Villa, is available to face his former club but is expected to start on the bench given ******* nal's settled defensive pairing.
David Raya is set to continue in goal behind a back four of Ben White, Gabriel Magalhães, Cristhian Mosquera and Riccardo Calafiori. Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard are expected to anchor midfield, with Martín Zubimendi the likely third member of the trio ahead of Myles Lewis-Skelly.
Bukayo Saka and Christos Tzolis, both of whom Arteta has used in wide areas that double as auxiliary full-back cover, are set to support Kai Havertz in attack, with both players having scored or contributed directly to goals in the win over Coventry.

#premier

Bacary Sagna has tipped Christos Tzolis not to suffer frequent injuries because the attacker knows how to avoid getting kicked during matches.
The Greek star has made a brilliant start to life as an ****** nal player and has continued to impress during the first weeks of his time in North London. He joined them from Club Brugge, and most people would feel that the quality in the Belgian league is nowhere near what is obtainable in England, so he would need time to adapt.
However, that has not been the case, as Tzolis enjoyed a good pre-season and has started the campaign strongly as well, which is good news for ****** nal. He has been a starter for their team since moving to the club, and the winger will maintain that role as long as he continues to perform well.
With Gabriel Martinelli on his way out of the club, Tzolis will get plenty of chances to play, especially if no replacement for the Brazilian is signed by the club. That could increase his risk of injury, but Sagna does not expect that to be the case.
The former ****** nal defender believes Tzolis is intelligent enough to protect himself during matches while continuing to contribute at a high level. His ability to avoid challenges could prove valuable during a long campaign.

Gennaro Gattuso was grateful to his Lazio players for their solid performance in Bologna, reserving special praise for new signing, Davide Frattesi.
The Biancocelesti began their Serie A campaign on a positive note, beating their Emilian hosts at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara thanks to Frattesi's solitary strike. This victory came just eight days after the shocking Coppa Italia elimination at the hands of Mantova.
In his post-match press conference (via Il Messaggero), Gattuso explained that the team showed more determination off the ball, especially Boulaye Dia and Kenneth Taylor, who pressed high.
Nothing has changed in a week. We simply have to believe in what we are doing, without staying halfway. If you press the ball carrier half-heartedly, you leave yourself exposed to counter-attacks in open **** e.We worked well with Taylor and Dia in the first press, then we often risked one-on-ones and the centre-backs did well. I'm happy with the group I'm coaching.
The Calabrian manager also applauded Christos Mandas for his formidable display between the sticks, while urging his players to improve in the final third.

Arsenal admire Everton forward Iliman Ndiaye as they look for reinforcement in attack for the season, according to the Daily Mail.
The Gunners are after an attacker and, after giving up on Bradley Barcola, Vinicius Jr, and Morgan Rogers, they could turn to the Senegal international.
Arsenal will know all about his exploits first hand. Last term, he bagged six goals and three ***** ists in 32 Premier League appearances for his side.
He already began this 2026/27 campaign with an ***** ist on matchday one. Teammate Vitaliy Mykolenko believes he is "the most skilful player in the Premier League."
Despite adding Christos Tzolis and hoping to sign another striker before the close of the transfer window, ***** nal are after another attacker to play on the left.

#premier #attacker #iliman

After earning a cameo in the Coppa Italia defeat to Mantova, Davide Frattesi is expected to make his full Lazio debut against Bologna.
The Biancocelesti travelled to Emilia-Romagna for their first match of the Serie A campaign. The contest will take place on Monday, 18:30 local time. Gennaro Gattuso's squad has been boosted by the returns of Alessio Romagnoli, Gustav Isaksen, and Nuno Tavares, while Danilo Cataldi, Samuel Gigot, Patric, and new signing Josip Sutalo are unavailable.
According to the most reliable sources in the Italian media, Frattesi will earn his first start, dropping Fisayo Dele-Bashiru to the bench. The Nigerian was arguably the best of a poor bunch against Mantova, but he will be the one to make way, as Gattuso is unlikely to chop Kenneth Taylor at this early stage of the season, despite his unconvincing summer displays.
Nicolo Rovella is the only natural option for the Regista role, while the backline should remain intact, with Adam Marusic, Danilho Doekhi, Oliver Provstgaard, and Alfonso Pedraza starting in front of Christos Mandas.
According to La Lazio Siamo Noi, Matteo Cancellieri will keep his place in the attacking trident alongside Boulaye Dia and Mattia Zaccagni. On the other hand, Sky Sport Italia believes Tijjani Noslin will replace the Italian winger on the right flank.

#mantova #according #italian

Arsenal have been trying to bring in an elite forward during the window to bolster their attack but summer signing Christos Tzolis has already shown that he could play a significant attacking role this season.
Tzolis arrived for £34m after producing the best season of his career at Club Brugge, where he scored 17 times and provided 23 ****** ists as they were crowned champions in Belgium.
In his short time so far at ****** nal, Tzolis has excited supporters with his performances during pre-season and registered two ****** ists in the Community Shield win over Manchester City. Against Coventry, it was his cross that was turned into Bukayo Saka's path for ****** nal's second goal.
On his Premier League debut, Tzolis impressed Martin Odegaard. "Amazing - he played a brilliant game," the captain told BBC Sport.
"He has been brilliant all pre-season. He's so lively. It's hard to defend [against] him. He's a really intelligent player. He always looks up and finds the right pass."

As reported by Alfredo Pedullà, while there is reported interest in ******* nal forward Gabriel Martinelli from Serie A clubs, nothing concrete has materialised to even suggest a proposal is on the horizon.
Roma's name has been linked with the Brazil winger, though for them he has never really been an option. Napoli are expected to have taken a look but have not shown an inclination to test the waters at the Emirates.
Inter, meanwhile, have been named in Brazilian papers as his strongest suitors, but no concrete proposal seems to be coming anytime soon. They're expected to be focusing on outgoings after sealing Curtis Jones' signing from Liverpool, and may only consider an opportunistic move near deadline day.
Valued by Transfermarkt at €45 million, the 25-year-old is now in the final year of his £180,000-per-week contract at ******* nal.
Martinelli had been expected to be on the move even before the arrival of Christos Tzolis, who has started the season on fire and looks set to make that left-wing berth his own.

Arsenal summer signing Christos Tzolis has made a very fast start to life with his new club, impressing throughout pre-season before carrying that form into the new campaign.
The winger provided a brace of **** ists in the Community Shield match against Manchester City, and he was just as impressive in the Premier League opener against Coventry City on Friday night.
Though the winger didn't end the game with a goal or **** ist, he won the ball in a dangerous area for **** nal's opener, and it was his pass that was deflected to Bukayo Saka for the Gunners' second.
Tzolis even could have scored himself, with one shot curling just wide and another powerful effort well saved.

#tzolis #winger #finney #images

LONDON — ***** nal eased past Coventry City on Friday, as they opened up their Premier League ***** le defense with a routine 3-0 win in north London as a new signing Christos Tzolis dazzled.
The Greek winger, 24, was superb on the left as he had more touches in the box and more shots than any other player on the pitch as he created so many chances.
He set the tone early in the first half as he skipped inside and curled a shot just over before being involved in ***** nal's opening two goals.
The second came after his dangerous, teasing cross was pushed out and finished by Bukayo Saka. We are going to see that a lot this season between those two.
With Saka able to cut inside and beat his man to the byline with his pace and trickery on the right, ***** nal now have exactly the same on the left with Tzolis.

#arsenal #tzolis #city

Mikel Arteta hailed Christos Tzolis' impact after ****** nal began their Premier League ****** le defence with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Coventry City at the Emirates.
Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard were on target as the Gunners made a commanding start to their campaign, with Tzolis also impressing on his Premier League debut for the club.
"I love that a player who has just been here for a few weeks gets that kind of energy every time he's on the ball," Arteta said on the Greece international.
"But I think he's earned it. I think the way he has performed in the last few games has been phenomenal.
"What he transmits as a player, so direct, so incisive constantly, he wants to make things happen, and he has an incredible variety of actions to make the right decisions.

In the summer of 1993, Manchester United won the ******* le and then signed Roy Keane in a British record transfer. In 2001, United won the ******* le and then bought Ruud van Nistelrooy. In 2008, the summer after winning the Premier League and Champions League, they signed Dimitar Berbatov not because they really needed him but because they could.
Each time, Alex Ferguson took steps not just to maintain the gap to their rivals but to grow it. Each time, United defended their Premier League crown.
Even before kick-off here at the Emirates Stadium, there was that familiar sense of a ******* le-winning manager ******* down the lid on the Premier League trophy they owned. Mikel Arteta's newest signing, Ezri Konsa, was paraded on the pitch to a standing ovation – quite the flex to sign the second best right-sided centre-half in the Premier League while the best, William Saliba, is sidelined with injury.
And after a few minutes of this opening 3-0 win over Coventry City, it was clear that Arteta had strengthened his attack too. Christos Tzolis impressed in pre-season games and topped most of ******* nal's fitness metrics. Here he buzzed into action on the left wing, legs whirring with the urgency of a man fleeing a swarm of bees, all fast-twitch jolts and excitable energy, exactly the sort of opponent Coventry's right-back Milan van Ewijk didn't want to face on his first Friday night live on Sky Sports.
Arsenal had a plethora of attacking options on the field: Kai Havertz led the line, Bukayo Saka started on the right and Martin Odegaard flitted in and out of the right half-space. But for all the passing lanes on offer, the gameplan became a simple one: when in the final third, seek Tzolis.

#league #united #summer #signed

Arsenal began the defence of their Premier League **** le in convincing fashion with a comfortable 3-0 victory over newly-promoted Coventry City at the Emirates Stadium.
Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka put the Gunners firmly in control during the opening 23 minutes before Martin Odegaard added a third shortly after the restart. It was an impressive opening-night performance from Mikel Arteta's side, with summer signing Christos Tzolis once again catching the eye.
Arsenal started brightly in front of a jubilant Emirates crowd and Tzolis was at the heart of much of their best attacking play.
The Greek international went close himself after cutting inside from the left before another effort was cleared off the line by Bobby Thomas.
The breakthrough arrived after 14 minutes, and Tzolis was again involved. He won possession from Milan van Ewijk before finding Riccardo Calafiori, whose pass reached Havertz. The German produced a composed first-time finish into the bottom corner to make it 1-0.

LONDON (AP) — Newcomer Christos Tzolis helped set up two goals as defending champion ***** nal opened the Premier League season by dismantling promoted Coventry 3-0 to spoil the visitor's long-awaited return to the top flight Friday.
After ending a 22-year wait for the Premier League ***** le, ***** nal showed why it's favored to repeat as champion by completely dominating Frank Lampard's side in a game that was one-sided from start to finish.
Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard scored for the Gunners, who spurned chances to pad the scoreline even further.
For Coventry, it was a rude welcome back to the Premier League after a 25-year absence. Having won the second-tier Championship last season by a wide margin, Lampard's side simply looked outmatched as it was repeatedly taken apart by a marauding ***** nal.
Tzolis was the only summer signing to start for the host but the left winger showed he could give this attack an added dimension by helping to set up both opening goals.

#tzolis #goals

Ezri Konsa has completed his move to ******* nal from Aston Villa in a deal worth £51m, plus a further £4m in potential add-ons.
That's according to David Ornstein of the Athletic who says that the England international has signed a four-year contract with the option of a further year after completing his medical with the Premier League champions.
Konsa made 286 appearances for Villa after joining the club from Brentford in 2019. He has also won 28 England caps and was part of the squad that reached the semi-finals of this summer's World Cup.
The defender started every match for England before their 2-1 semi-final defeat by Argentina, when he came on as a 72nd-minute substitute.
Konsa becomes ******* nal's fourth major signing of the summer. The club have already brought in Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge, Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United and former Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier.

#club #year

The Premier League is back, with reigning champions **** nal beginning their **** le defence against last year's Championship winners Coventry City.
Frank Lampard's side have the toughest possible task to kick off their return to the top flight for the first time in over two decades, particularly as the Gunners looked so impressive as they cruised to a 3-0 Community Shield win over a dispirited Manchester City side in their last outing.
Both sides have strengthened in the transfer window, although Coventry have hardly spent big - particularly in comparison to Mikel Arteta's side, who have brought in ex-Newcastle star Bruno Guimaraes and Christos Tzolis as well as securing the services of Piero Hincapie permanently after a loan spell last year.
These two sides are expected to finish at opposite ends of the table but Coventry will relish the challenge against the hot favourites for the **** le, while after that long-awaited **** le the current iteration of **** nal will aim to prove they aren't one-hit wonders.
Here's everything you need to know.

HLN are reporting that Barcelona are now joining Chelsea and Manchester United in monitoring Club Brugge striker Nicolo Tresoldi. The young German forward has already been the subject of serious interest from AS Roma, who had a bid of around €35m rejected by Club Brugge. For Barcelona, they had been hoping to bring in Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid, but the Argentinian forward will remain in Madrid for the time being. Hansi Flick is said to be keen on Tresoldi joining Barcelona, with the German head coach having already seen the striker up close when he scored against Barcelona for Club Brugge during the Champions League last season.
However, Barcelona will have to submit an offer that Club Brugge simply cannot refuse if they want to secure Tresoldi. The Belgian champions are keen to keep the striker for at least one more year, as they believe his value will only increase after a stellar first season with the club. They have also already lost a key player from last seasons ***** le winning side in Christos Tzolis and, while they would sell if the offer was astronomical, have ambitions of going deep in Europe and regaining the ***** le, with Tresoldi a key component in those ambitions. Club Brugge clearly understand that the young German forward will not be with them forever, but they are also hoping to maximise their returns from him on the pitch before turning to those potential returns off the pitch.

Arsenal moved for Christos Tzolis after the best season of his career where he was involved in 40 goals, scoring 17 times and providing 23 ******* ists as Club Brugge were crowned league champions in Belgium.
But before that there had been struggles, notably during his three years at Norwich, scoring just three times in 30 appearances between 2021-2024.
He impressed while on loan at German second-tier side Fortuna Dusseldorf in 2023-24, where he scored 24 goals in 35 games before he left Norwich for Club Brugge and became one of star players in the division.
Since then he has not looked back and Tzolis has developed to become one of the most reliable creators in Europe.
Alongside his two ******* ists, he played more passes into the final third than anyone else in the Gunners team in Cardiff and, despite lacking noticeable pace, Tzolis is extremely effective while on the ball with his work-rate appreciated by manager Mikel Arteta.

Arsenal eased to a comfortable 3-0 Community Shield victory over Manchester City on Sunday, with summer signings Bruno Guimaraes and Christos Tzolis playing a big part in the eventual result.
Guimaraes only played the first 45 minutes of the match, but his tough tackling and forward passing were key to the team making such a fast start. As for Tzolis, the left-winger provided two ***** ists to keep his fantastic pre-season form going ahead of the Premier League's start date.
Arsenal captain and Player of the Match Martin Odegaard had praised for both of his new teammates after the final whistle.

Giannis Konstantelias' move from PAOK to Borussia Dortmund is nearing completion for a reported €26 million plus up to €6 million in bonuses, with the deal also including a 15 per cent sell-on clause for the Greek side.
At the same time, according to reports from Greece, PAOK are working on signing two young players from Borussia Dortmund, namely Christos Kostoglou and Samuele Inácio.
As reported by sport24.gr, PAOK are in advanced talks over a move for 17-year-old Kostoglou. The youngster, who plays for BVB's U19 side, has one year left on his contract, but Dortmund are said to be willing to let him leave on a free transfer.
Meanwhile, PAOK are aiming to sign 18-year-old Inácio on loan, according to Greek outlet Gazzetta.
Whether Dortmund would agree to this is highly doubtful, though. The Italy international broke into the first team towards the end of last season and is part of the club's plans for the coming campaign.

Less than five months have passed since Manchester City comprehensively beat ******* nal in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley, a performance that laid out a gulf in quality between the two clubs, that promised to launch City to the ******* le, that landed a damaging psychological blow to brittle ******* nal minds.
In the following days it was hard to imagine how Mikel Arteta's team would recover from being so comprehensively outplayed. We know how that turned out. Here, on an August day in Cardiff, the two teams met again in a game that could not have been more different. ******* nal ripped City apart in a dominant 3-0 victory to win their third Community Shield under Arteta and 18th overall, behind only Manchester United's 21.
Just as too much was read into that Carabao Cup final, we should resist the urge to hand ******* nal the Premier League trophy before a ball is kicked. This was a glorified friendly and captain Martin Odegaard lifted the trophy with all the faux enthusiasm it deserved.
But in their slick interchanges of passing, in their ability to keep City's dangermen at bay, in the peerless performance of new signings Bruno Guimaraes and Christos Tzolis, in the sheer strength in depth available to Mikel Arteta, there were undeniable signs that this ******* nal team might be as strong, perhaps even stronger, than last season's ******* le winners.
It took Riccardo Calafiori only 24 seconds to score ******* nal's first goal, finishing a clever pass by Myles Lewis-Skelly. It took Kai Havertz only four touches to add their second, heading home Tzolis's headed pass. By the time Martin Odegaard had added a brilliant third, taking Tzolis's pass in his stride before tricking Gianluigi Donnarumma into diving too early to leave the goal half empty, City were utterly beaten.

Gabriel Martinelli is the subject of transfer interest from Galatasaray after they failed to sign Rafa Leao, but the ****** nal man does not want to leave and certainly does not want to move to Turkiye.
In recent seasons, Martinelli's form has not been the best, and there is a good chance that he will remain on the bench for Christos Tzolis to start games at ****** nal. That happened several times last season, when Leandro Trossard was preferred to the Brazilian winger, but the Belgian has been sold and replaced by the Greek star.
Although ****** nal are interested in players such as Bradley Barcola, the Gunners will stick with Martinelli if he stays, but they are more than happy to sell him to Gala.
The Turkish side can also offer him a good salary, which could be much better than what he earns at ****** nal at the moment, but he does not want to move to the Turkish club.
Martinelli appears determined to continue his career elsewhere rather than in Turkiye if he eventually leaves ****** nal. Despite the potential financial benefits of a move, the Brazilian winger has no desire to join Galatasaray at this stage of his career.

Arsenal have turned their focus towards Victor Osimhen as they look to add another high-level attacking option before the transfer window closes, with the Nigeria international now understood to be the leading name on the club's shortlist.
The north London side have already strengthened key areas of Mikel Arteta's squad with the arrivals of Illan Meslier, Christos Tzolis and Bruno Guimaraes. Even so, there remains a strong appetite inside the club to add further firepower. **** nal explored ambitious moves for Morgan Rogers and Vinicius Jr earlier in the window, but with those pursuits failing to materialise, attention has shifted elsewhere.
As first reported by Sebastien Denis, **** nal now regard Osimhen as their priority attacking target. The indication is that Arteta has made his preference clear to the recruitment department, and there is confidence a deal can be put together if the conditions align.
Arsenal's current forward line already contains quality, and Viktor Gyokeres delivered strongly after his £64m arrival from Sporting last summer, finishing with 21 goals in all competitions as **** nal ended a 22-year wait for the Premier League **** le and also reached the Champions League final. Yet squad planning rarely stands still at the top end of the game.
With uncertainty surrounding Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli, **** nal are **** sing how best to protect their depth and raise the ceiling of their attack. That has brought Osimhen firmly into view. Talks between **** nal and Galatasaray have been reported, with the Turkish club also linked to Martinelli, a factor that could add another layer to discussions if movement develops on both fronts.
