Arsenal 250

When times were tough at Arsenal Football Club, it wasn’t the big money signings who stepped up, it was one of our own.

From a Hale End boy to a Premier League Champion.

Happy 25th birthday, Bukayo Saka! ❤️

🚨Mikel Arteta confirms Bruno Guimaraes is expected to train tomorrow and should be available to face Chelsea on Sunday.

🗣️ Mikel Arteta on Mosquera's injury:

"It was more precaution than anything else, so we’ll have to see in the session tomorrow how he feels." 🤕

🗣️ Mikel Arteta on Jurrien Timber:

"He’s in really good condition at the moment, he’s been a few weeks on the pitch and has been training with us, so he’s in a really good place." 🔜

🚨Xabi Alonso has had his Chelsea players using rugby tackle bags in training this week to prepare for the physical battle they will face on Sunday against Arsenal.😂

ℹ️ They have no idea 😂

🚨 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐌𝐄𝐃: Arsenal’s league phase squad. ✅

Raya, Arrizabalaga, Meslier; Saliba, Mosquera, White, Hincapie, Gabriel, Timber, Konsa, Calafiori; Ødegaard, Eze, Madueke, Merino, Havertz, Zubimendi, Guimarães, Rice; Saka, Gyökeres, Tzolis.

⚠️ Arsenal’s B-list can feature U21 players that have been at the club for two or more years, such as Myles Lewis-Skelly & Max Dowman. The club are entitled to register an unlimited number of players on that list. ✔️

🗣️Kai Havertz on his Arsenal career so far: “I started off more as a midfielder for Arsenal, but over time I moved into a number nine role. That change taught me a lot, especially how to use my body better in the box. I'm a big guy, and I need to make that count.

“I had to learn how to hold off defenders, win aerial duels, and be in the right positions to score. It took time, but I feel comfortable in that role now. At the same time, set pieces have become a huge part of our game. We treat them like penalties, every time we get one, we feel like we can score.

“We work on them tirelessly in training, and it shows in matches. We scored so many goals from set pieces last season, and that was a major reason why we lifted the Premier League trophy.”

🚨Jurrien Timber was back in training for Arsenal yesterday ahead of the game against Chelsea on Sunday.

🤣 🤣

🗣️ Dortmund manager Niko Kovac on Ethan Nwaneri:

"A player who is fit. He could play straight away. An England Under-21 international with excellent technical skills. We saw that straight away in training."
