We have a massive update on the transfer front, and it is not good news for Arsenal. Morgan Rogers has officially chosen Chelsea over us in a staggering £117m deal. We break down exactly why he snubbed Arsenal, what this means for our transfer strategy moving forward, and whether Chelsea is massively overpaying.

On the international stage, England provided absolute fireworks in a 6-4 thriller to win the World Cup Bronze match. After the disaster in the semis, our Arsenal boys absolutely ran the show. Bukayo Saka bagged a phenomenal hat-trick, and Declan Rice dropped a complete masterclass with a goal and an assist.

We have lots to talk about in today's episode. We start with the devastating news from the World Cup Semi-Finals: William Saliba has suffered a major back injury, and early fears suggest he could miss 4-5 months if surgery is required. This is an absolute hammer blow to Arsenal’s defensive plans ahead of the new season.

In transfer news, Leandro Trossard has officially completed his move to Besiktas. With Trossard out the door, the wheels are turning fast as Arsenal look highly likely to secure Christos Tzolis to fill the void on the wing for around £35m.

Finally, we recap the World Cup Semi-Finals. We break down the absolute implosion from England as they crash out, contrasted with an absolute footballing masterclass from Spain as they dismantled France to book their spot in the final.

How are you feeling about the Saliba injury news, and is Tzolis the right man to replace Trossard? Let me know in the comments! 👇🔴
