OPINION Viktor Gyokeres breaks silence on failed Arsenal transfer as 'secret' Man United deal agreed

-

 

Mikel Arteta will be eager to return to winning ways after the international break. While the Premier League title race is still in its infancy, Arsenal gifted Manchester City and Liverpool a two-point advantage following a disappointing draw with Brighton.

Next week, the Gunners return to action against Tottenham Hotspur – although they'll be without Declan Rice due to suspension. In order to waltz away from the north London derby victorious, Arsenal will have to be at their very best.

Fortunately, Arteta has a week or so on the training pitches at London Colney to conjure a match-winning game plan. So, with that being said, football.london have rounded up the latest Arsenal news and transfer gossip.

Gyokeres breaks his silence

Viktor Gyokeres has opened up on his failed transfer to Arsenal. The 26-year-old striker was heavily linked with a move to the Premier League in the summer, but a deal failed to materialise due to the eye-watering release clause in his Sporting CP contract.

  Through a press release on Friday night, the Nigeria Football Federation have announced that the agreement with Bruno Labbadia to take over as Super Eagles coach has fallen through.  The NFF had earlier announced that Labbadia would be the new boss of the three-time African champions and will resume his duty ahead of the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin and Rwanda. However, the Nigerian football governing body have now stated the former Bayern Munich striker will be unable to take charge of Nigeria due to circumstances beyond their control. If Labbadia were to become the coach of the Super Eagles, the NFF would have to cover the tax on his salary as mandated by German tax laws, a burden the federation is unwilling to bear.

Raphinha scored a treble as Barcelona beat Real Valladolid 7-0 in a superb performance. The Camp Nou side  spent the summer chasing a deal to sign Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao , but were unable to agree a deal. Barca's main acquisition of the summer came in the form of Dani Olmo, but Raphinha is confident the squad has more than enough talent to seriously challenge this season.
