A huge David Ornstein bombshell drops and the Handbrake team are here to discuss.

Ian Stone is joined by Art de Roche and Adrian Clarke as it emerges that Arsenal are exploring a deal to sign Vinicius Jr from Real Madrid.

Is it actually going to happen? How significant would it be in the history of the club if it actually did? And what does this all say about Arsenal's ambitions going into the new season? Should retaining the Premier League title be a must, or is it time to win the Champions League? Why not both?

Plus the team get into whether John Stones would be a good short-term replacement for William Saliba, and the latest on what’s going on with Bruno Guimaraes.

The World Cup is done and there are THREE Arsenal players coming back to London Colney with a winners medal.

But it’s mixed news on the transfer front for Ian Stone, Art de Roche and Adrian Clarke as Morgan Rogers verbally agrees to join Chelsea instead of the Gunners.

The team discuss where this leaves Andrea Berta in the transfer market this window, as well as getting a Greek perspective from Harry Symeou on what Christos Tzolis might bring to the squad next season.

It’s World Cup semi-final time and there are still eight Arsenal players at the tournament.

Ian Stone is joined by Art de Roche and Nnamdi Onyeagwara to discuss what this all means for Arsenal’s pre-season plans. When will they be back and available? Do Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka need to sit down in a dark room for a couple of months?

Elsewhere, Bruno Guimaraes has told Newcastle that he wants to join Arsenal. Will this mean the Gunners now come in with a formal bid?

And Illan Meslier has become the club’s first new signing of the transfer window. Will he be a Number 2 or Number 3 choice goalkeeper? And what about Ona Batlle arriving at the women’s team?
