Emiliano Martinez
Manager suggests he doesn’t want reported Leeds United target to leave
Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta has suggested to Football.London that he does not want to lose Emiliano Martinez amid reported interest from Leeds United in the summer transfer window. The Sun reported in July of interest in Argentine goalkeeper Martinez from Leeds, who will play in the Premier League next season after winning automatic promotion from the Championship. The 27-year-old goalkeeper has been on the books of the Gunners since 2010, but he has yet to establish himself as a regular in the first team. Although the Argentine played regularly for Arteta’s side in the final weeks of last season, it was due to the injury suffered by Bernd Leno. Leno is now fully fit and is available for selection, and it is likely that the German will start the next season as the number one goalkeeper...

Phil Hay: Leeds have ‘long-standing interest’ in 27 y/o Arsenal player
Leeds United will be looking to bolster their squad following their return to the Premier League after a sixteen-year absence. According to Phil Hay of The Athletic, the Whites are expected to make at least four to five new signings this summer. Marcelo Bielsa (provided he stays at the club) is not looking to make a wholesome change, but the Argentine would love to make necessary additions. Leeds could look to sign a goalkeeper this summer with Kiko Casilla expected to depart. The Spaniard could return to Spain after seeing his reputation damaged by a racism charge against him. The Yorkshire club have already converted Illan Meslier’s loan move from Lorient into a permanent deal, tying the French goalkeeper to a three-year contract for £5 million. However, if Casilla leaves, they will...

Arsenal beat Liverpool 2-1 to end hopes of record points haul
Arsenal capitalised on shocking errors from Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk and Alisson to beat the champions 2-1 at The Emirates on Wednesday and end their hopes of a record points tally for the Premier League season. The loss means Liverpool, on 93 points, can now only stretch that tally to 99, one short of Manchester City’s record. Arsenal’s first win against Liverpool since April 2015 lifts them one place to ninth in the table on 53 points. The visitors created all the early pressure and opened the scoring in the 20th minute when Sadio Mane lashed in his 17th goal of the season from close range. Yet the home side, playing without their leading scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, were handed a free pass back into the game 12 minutes later when Van Dijk made a back pass straight into the path ...
