Welcome to The Arsenal Therapy Podcast, a dedicated show about the club we love, Arsenal Football Club.

In this episode of the Arsenal Therapy Podcast we're joined by football journalist Chris Davison as we discuss a range of topics relating to Arsenal and football.

We kick off the episode by discussing the latest contract announcements, with Reiss Nelson and William Saliba signing four-year deals. We analyse the implications of these contract extensions and discuss what it means for the players' future at the club.

Next, we turn our attention to Arsenal's pre-season schedule and debate whether it is too busy. We assess the potential benefits and drawbacks of a packed pre-season and discuss the impact on the team's preparation for the upcoming season.

The signings of Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, and Jurrien Timber have generated excitement among Arsenal fans. We share our initial impressions of these new arrivals and evaluate their potential impact on the team.

In a surprising development, we discuss the departures of Gary O'Driscoll and Steve Round from Arsenal's staff. We explore whether these changes are coincidental or if Arsenal is intentionally shaking things up behind the scenes.

Granit Xhaka's departure to Bayer Leverkusen prompts us to reflect on his legacy at Arsenal. We ponder what Xhaka will be remembered for and the impact he had on the team during his time at the club.

With Xhaka gone, the question arises: Will Thomas Partey follow suit? We analyse the potential ramifications of Partey's departure and discuss how it would reshape Arsenal's midfield dynamics.

Mikel Arteta's spending spree reaches £600m, and we examine the remaining pieces needed to complete Arsenal's squad puzzle. We identify the areas that require further investment and discuss potential transfer targets.

Lastly, we indulge in some playful banter as we jest about the possibility of Kylian Mbappe joining Arsenal. After Mbappe expressed his willingness to join Arsenal if he were to move to the Premier League, we explore the hypothetical scenario and share a light-hearted discussion.
