Arsenal will face its toughest opponent of the 2022 preseason thus far when the Gunners meet fellow English Premier League side Everton in a friendly played ...

— — — Arsenal already on the front foot. Gabriel Jesus turns provider, poking a ball into the box and it gets by the entire Everton back line with Saka waiting at the far right post. You can tell there will be a gap between Everton and Arsenal this season. And the Gunners' Saka has a shot blocked inside the box after just 30 seconds. Halftime: Arsenal with a deserved lead after jumping all over Everton from the opening kickoff. The Everton midfield is non-existent outside of a couple of Abdoulaye Doucoure defensive interventions. Everton are looking for counterattacking opportunities with numbers behind the ball. Everton will be in action on opening weekend at home to Chelsea. As for Everton, the match in Baltimore will be the Toffees' first preseason test.

Arsenal have reached a verbal agreement in principle with Manchester City to buy Oleksandr Zinchenko for about £30m.

Zinchenko joined City from the Russian club Ufa in 2016 and made 128 appearances for them, including 10 Premier League starts last season. His exit is likely to hasten their move for Brighton’s left-back Marc Cucurella. On Friday City blocked Nathan Aké’s proposed transfer to Chelsea but they have been willing to sell Zinchenko at the right price.

Oleksandr Zinchenko has won four Premier League titles with Manchester City but only made 15 league appearances last season; Arsenal have already signed ...

Thomas Partey, Mohamed Elneny and Albert Sambi Lokonga all compete for the same position at the base of Arsenal's midfield, leaving Xhaka to a number 8 role. "There is reason why the Arsenal manager needs support in that role. "Mikel Arteta has been looking at additions at left-back and central midfield in this summer transfer window. "Should he play in midfield, a role he undertakes regularly at international level, Zinchenko would compete with Xhaka at Arsenal - and a closer look at their respective heatmaps last season shows that the two play in the same area of the pitch, even though the Ukrainian played at left-back and the Arsenal man operated from midfield. The 24-year-old has stated his desire to reunite with Erik ten Hag and a deal in the region of £45m is being finalised. Arsenal have been in the market for a left-sided defender and were trying to sign Manchester United bound Lisandro Martinez from Ajax.

Mikel Arteta has said William Saliba is in his plans for next season and challenged him to establish himself as a first-team regular at Arsenal.

"I think he looked really confident and all that time he's been abroad has built that confidence in him which is really important. "He's a proper talent and he's shown in the last year what can do. "We cannot guarantee first-team football to anybody in this team -- you can ask that question to anybody.

The Brazilian was the first signing of the summer for Arsenal and has plenty of promise for the future.

“He is very physical and is coping really well with the demands of our training session but another thing after is to compete. Marquinhos has already had a taste of first-team action, joining the squad in their pre-season activities. On the signing, sporting director Edu told the official website: “We’re delighted to have completed the transfer with Sao Paulo, as Marquinhos was a player we had been watching for a while.

Mikel Arteta has said that players returning to Arsenal from loan spells have been given “a clean start” — but admitted his side will be looking to make “a.

But we had a lot of young players as well in Germany. So I think we have the right balance.” James McNicholas Arsenal have signed four players so far this summer.

Away from transfers, the north London club get their United States tour underway on Sunday as they take on Everton before taking Orlando City and Chelsea in the next couple of weeks. Four fresh faces have arrived at Arsenal already, with Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus, talented no.8 Fabio Vieira, solid goalkeeper Matt Turner and Brazilian starlet Marquinhos all joining.

The Gunners could join the transfer battle for the RB Leipzig centre-back this summer.

The Gunners wouldn’t be alone in their interest though, as Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester City have all been linked. The Frenchman has plenty of promise and impressed in his loan spell at Marseille last campaign. The Croatia international has been tipped for big things, with plenty of sides following a potential move.

It looks like the Charm City Match has more viewing options in the U.S. than initially thought.

I’ve bought preseason streams from the club in the past and can confirm that it works. Most TVs have a built-in antenna and a search function to find the OTA channels that antenna can pickup, but your mileage may vary. For those of you not able to attend (i.e. you don’t live on the East Coast / don’t want to travel for a preseason exhibition match, which I totally get), it looks like there are streaming and broadcast options.

Covered well for Saliba on one occasion as the defender was caught ball-watching. A corner was whipped in, and Jesus was left unmarked at the back post. A great start to the half, and after half an hour, Gabriel Jesus put Arsenal ahead.

How the Gunners got on in the second half of their preseason friendly at the M&T Stadium in Baltimore.

Reuell Walters: Moved out to left back in a three, despite being a 17-year-old who's played right back most of his career. Used in a two with Pepe and caused some issues for Everton with his movement. Looks happy in midfield, but the congestion in that area of the pitch means that his athleticism and dribbling sometimes isn't as accentuated as it could be. Clearly, a leading voice in the Arsenal defensive line and could be seen constantly marshalling his teammates into position. Rob Holding: Came on in his natural habitat at the heart of a back three and looked really solid. Hector Bellerin: Had a very high starting position when Arsenal were in position for an interesting tactical innovation of how we can expect Arsenal to play.

Arteta brought on four more players as the game entered the final 20 minutes, reverting to a back four with youngster Reuell Walters given a chance at left-back. Jesus left the field at the break arguing with the officials, minutes after he was clattered by Ben Godfrey on the edge of the box, a late challenge which earned the Everton defender a booking. Gabriel Jesus marked his first Arsenal start with the opening goal in a 2-0 victory over Everton to win the Charm City Cup in Baltimore on Saturday.

It's a matter of step by step, how we are going to finish the season and to put in plan the planning that I'm very excited about." Speaking on the Que Golazo podcast this week, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano said the Gunners will soon make their move for an unnamed winger. The squad was not prepared to absorb two players, we needed to rebalance the squad. But it appears Edu and the club have decided against that stance. I prefer No 10.

Obviously, it was a big moment for him to come in an Arsenal shirt in the States and play in front of the crowd and he did well. The way he has settled in, he’s an extraordinary character, a lot of personality and he’s great at what we want. But they are not just 9s, they have all the qualities for the way we play, they are fantastic. He has a lot of leadership skills, I can see straight away what he’s doing with the boys and he’s the type of guy that we want. He’s a real threat and this is what we need. So it’s what is available and what the team needs. But not on his own sometimes, but don’t close that door because Gabby in relation to what the opponent does in certain games we are going to have to use him in different positions. It depends, look at Harry Kane, look at Haaland. I think at the moment there are certain strikers that are available, they grow, they have their moments in European football. We were a threat all the time, we had a lot of bodies attacking. They are looking for him, he’s generating chances, good connections around specific spaces we want to exploit with him especially, and yeah, we’re really happy. We understood where the spaces were and the execution was really good. I think the first half we were really good, really intense.

The Blues take on the Gunners in Baltimore as part of their pre-season preparations.

Everton had won 2-1 at Goodison in the return feature, with Demarai Gray’s sensational late strike securing three much-needed points. The game is being played in Baltimore in the United States where both clubs have based part of their pre-season training camps at. The Toffees only have the one signing made so far this summer with James Tarkowski joining as a free agent. “We do want to beat them, and these kind of games get a lot of attention back home. It was just over eight weeks ago Everton secured their Premier League future with that epic comeback win over Crystal Palace and today they’re back in action. Arsenal have gone to the US with a 33-man squad and Mikel Arteta has all four of his summer signings available to him in Gabriel Jesus, Fabio Vieira, Marquinhos and Matt Turner, with the former Manchester City striker making an immediate impression for the Gunners in a 5-3 win over 2.

Gabriel Jesus scored a brilliant goal against Everton on Saturday night to mark his first start for Arsenal in their pre-season friendly in Baltimore.

Latest Arsenal transfer news takes a closer look at what the signing of Oleksandr Zinchenko could mean for Nuno Tavares who has been linked with a loan move ...

With the Ukraine international set to complete a move to the Emirates Stadium, thus reuniting with Gabriel Jesus and Arteta - whom he knows from the Spaniard's time at Man City as Pep Guardiola's assistant - it may help to speed up the temporary departure of Nuno Tavares. Now if recent reports are to be believed, there's set to be a name added to the incomings and outgoings column very soon as Arsenal are said to have reached a verbal agreement in principle with Manchester City for the signing of Oleksandr Zinchenko for a fee of around £30m. It could be a case of one in and one out at Arsenal in the coming days as Mikel Arteta continues to shape his squad for the 2022/23 season.

For the second time in as many pre-season matches, Gabriel Martinelli was shifted to left-wing back. Ben Godfrey flew in on Jesus but the Brazilian had the last laugh. Perhaps the sole highlight of a miserable 45-minute cameo? The £45million forward finished emphatically from Cedric’s corner before laying on Saka’s second having coming short to link the Arsenal attack.

Mikel Arteta has hailed Gabriel Jesus as a striker who "creates chaos" after he continued his good preseason form in Arsenal's 2-0 win over Everton.

"We will try," he said. "We both have the same intention. I can see straight away what he is trying to do with the boys and he is the type of guy we want.

Arsenal have been one of the busier Premier League teams during the first few weeks of the summer transfer window. The north London outfit have already ...

What impresses me with this player is that he does both with a smile. In general, this is not the case with all Brazilians. A player who is fine is a little harder to replace or he is less at the service of the team when he does not have the ball. And it is not the first time that Arsenal have successfully persuaded Pep Guardiola's side to lower their asking price for a player this summer.

The young defender wasted no time in showing what he's capable of as the Gunners brushed past Everton on Saturday.

Last night can be just the start for Saliba at Arsenal if he wants it to be and he certainly proved that he has what it takes to be a success. Arteta has said that those who found themselves out on loan last season have "a clean start" and for Saliba, he must view it as exactly that. Speaking after the game, Mikel Arteta was equally as pleased with Saliba's display and the progress he has made over the last few months.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has been hugely impressed by American goalkeeper Matt Turner since arriving at the Gunners.

He has a lot of leadership skills, I can see straight away what he’s doing with the boys and he’s the type of guy that we want." “The way he has settled in, he’s an extraordinary character, a lot of personality and he’s great at what we want. "He’s a real threat and this is what we need.

Always want to be on the ball and got Everton upfield with his running on more than one occasion. That was really the only way you'd know he was on the pitch. Good intent to drive Everton forward from midfield and full of running. Helpless as Saka touched home the second and was later booked for a robust tackle on Jesus. Dominic Calvert-Lewin – 6.5 Jesus scored one, created another and his movement was crucial to tying the Arsenal attack together. With the ball at his feet, however, the midfielder was surprisingly wasteful, gifting Everton a couple of half-chances. Redeemed partially with stops from Jesus and Saka. Abdoulaye Doucoure – 6.5 Brings intensity and bite to Arteta's side. American was cheered more for his local ties than any meaningful contributions. Matt Turner – 6.5

Arsenal are inching closer to adding Manchester City left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko to their squad after having their 30m bid accepted.

However, Zinchenko is still in talks with the Gunners over ther personal terms in his contract, with the two parties still discussing the players salary. As a result, Arsenal have made a move for the Ukrainian, with a £30million bid from the Gunners accepted on Saturday. Just weeks after buying Gabriel Jesus from the league champions, Arsenal have returned to Manchester to bid for Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Mikel Arteta has hinted that Bukayo Saka is close to agreeing a new deal at Arsenal. The England international is under contract at the Emirates until 2024 ...

On Friday, it was reported that Saka is “happy” at Arsenal and that salary details were being discussed. He replied: “We will try and we both have the same intention and it’s a matter of time.” The Gunners also want to ward off attention from big-name rivals, a number of whom have been monitoring his situation in the hope of stealing him away.

Arsenal transfer news: Edu proved he would not be held to ransom over transfer fees as Manchester United secure Lisandro Martinez transfer deal.

The Ukrainian has a wealth of Premier League experience on his side and is versatile. The Argentinian full-back was on Arsenal's radar earlier in the transfer window, but he has now been confirmed as a new Manchester United player, after former Ajax boss Erik ten Hag showed an interest in his former player. Arsenal have done some excellent business so far this summer with Edu proving to be a shrewd operator time and again.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta said he found the intrusion of Amazon's cameras last season "demanding" and is yet to see the final documentary.

I think I'm the only person at a senior level that hasn't seen it. Probably in the documentary you will see, that I don't think that now unfortunately. On a personal level obviously it was really demanding because you are on camera for 24/7.

Mikel Arteta has found a new contender for the defensive role to further ease fears over Kieran Tierney's injury troubles.

Nuno Tavares was brought in to provide competition and support for the Scotsman last summer, but he too has encountered his own challenges with consistency. After listening closely to Arteta's instructions on the sidelines, Walters entered the fray and took up his position on the left. He met the physical demands with relative ease, looked calm on the ball and was defensively switched on in most moments.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said new signing Gabriel Jesus "creates chaos" after the Brazil forward scored in a 2-0 friendly win over Everton.

Mason Mount scored a superb winner with seven minutes remaining, shifting the ball away from a defender before curling in from 20 yards. Chelsea began their pre-season campaign with a 2-1 win over Mexican side Club America at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

"He believes that the opportunity to move to Rome and working under Jose is a really good one. Speaking to club officials in January, Arteta explained that he and Maitland-Niles had reached a crossroads.

From mispronouncing player names to implying that Bukayo Saka has to beat out Nicolas Pepe for the starting spot still, it was a very disappointing experience with that.

Marseille’s reported hopes of signing Gunners left-back Nuno Tavares this summer appear to have hit a stumbling block. While a move for Osimhen from Arsenal was unlikely this summer following the £45m acquisition of Jesus from Manchester City, Arteta is yet to rule out the possibility of signing another new forward this summer, with Osimhen among a number of forwards who have been linked with the Gunners for a number of months. The Gunners have previously been linked with interest in the 25-year-old, with reports claiming that other European clubs are monitoring the midfielder’s current situation, with his former club Barcelona reportedly among the other clubs keen on a move for the 22-time Brazil international.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was quizzed about contract negotiations with Saka, to which he responded: “We will try and we both have the same intention and it’s a matter of time.” Saka has been heralded as one of the best young players in Europe, so Arsenal were keen to avoid losing the winger at a cut-price. Manchester City are a winger down after losing Raheem Sterling to Chelsea, but it appears Bukayo Saka won't be his replacement.

It's been a busy window for the Gunners so far and they aren't showing any signs of slowing down just yet.

Possessing plenty of talent, versatility, and proven Premier League experience, the Ukrainian international will be a valuable addition to the team. "But again, the market will dictate our capacity to do this." Despite this, there remains plenty to do, in and out, for Arsenal to be in the best position possible.

Arsenal's pursuit of Leicester City and Belgium midfielder Youri Tielemans is “one to watch” according to Ben Jacobs of CBS Sports.

He told GIVEMESPORT: “Youri Tielemans to Arsenal is still one to watch but Arteta is biding his time and looking at other options, too. And Jacobs believes that the Gunners’ potential move for the £59m-rated man is still “one to watch” but that Arteta will also be assessing other midfield options ahead of August’s Premier League kick-off. The Sun reported earlier in July that the Gunners are prepared to bid £30m for the 52-time Belgium international this summer, and are confident of beating Manchester United to the signature of the midfielder.

Youri Tielemans twice has expected to join Arsenal, according to reports. The Leicester star is claimed to have 'always wanted' to move to the Gunners and ...

Jacobs says the race is now open for Tielemans in this window as Arsenal are yet to act on their interest. I think that’s the area they really need to look at. “But I think that’s the area. Tielemans remains a target for Arsenal this summer. Youri Tielemans twice has expected to join Arsenal, according to reports. Arsenal's interest also dates back to his previous club Monaco.

The US international made his second appearance in an Arsenal shirt in their 2-0 preseason victory over Everton.

Goalkeeping coach Inaki Cana has been working hard with Turner to get him up to speed with Arteta's demands and regularly called him while he was still playing for the New England Revolution to discuss aspects of his game to work on. Arteta is very clear that he wants his goalkeepers to be able to play out from the back and start attacks from deep with incisive possession. Despite the constant changes in time zone though for him the biggest adaptation has been to Arsenal's tactics.

Next season will likely see them challenging with the sides who finished in the top four last season - Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham. All of ...
