Arsene Wenger

Brazilian footballer Philippe Coutinho should be returning to Premier League says former Rivaldo. The player was transferred to Barcelona from Liverpool but his performance at the club wasn’tup to the expectation. Later he was transferred to Bayern Munich in a loan where he had spent the last season and the German club is not interested in signing an extension with him.
Meanwhile, Barcelona manager Quique Seiten who has taken over the club since January has said during the lockdown that the player could be a part of his squad for the next season of La Liga. But the agent of the player has recently said that player has been having interest from various clubs of Europe. If Barca decides to sell the player then he would like to secure a move back to England.

Mikel Arteta is capable of becoming the top manager of Arsenal and he will be having a lot of improvements and works to do says, Alan Smith. He was appointed as the manager of the club in December and before he worked on Manchester City as the number two of Pep Guardiola for three years.

Arsenal legend Martin Keown does not fancy the Gunners to land the signature of Willian. The Brazil international’s contract with Chelsea expires at the end of the season and he has been fancied to head through the exit door as the west London side have refused to meet his demands for a three-year contract.

Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes the Gunners have a chance of making the top four at the end of the season. The Gunners have languished outside of the top six for most of the current campaign due to their inability to win games regularly but they have recently found form with back-to-back victories in the top-flight.

Arsenal defender Rob Holding has stressed that the Gunners are not at a crisis point despite failing to win any of the previous four Premier League matches. The north London giants have dropped eight points behind the top four after the opening 12 games and there have recently been calls for Unai Emery to be sacked from the head coach role.

However, that does not appear likely to happen with the board continuing to keep their faith in the Spanish head coach and Holding believes the Gunners can turn their fortunes around during the festive schedule, he told Sky Sports News: “We just need to string a couple of wins together and I think that will lift the confidence again and hopefully set us off on a run. We just need to stay calm and stay positive. We’re sixth, we’re not a million miles off it.

Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has said that Mohamed Salah is obsessed with his finishing and he should focus on improving with the decision-making. The Egypt international recently had an unsavoury moment with Liverpool teammate Sadio Mane at Burnley and that resulted from the fact that he did not distribute when the Senegalese had the sight of goal.

Shortly after that incident, Mane was subbed off but the attacker was far from pleased as he vented the frustration from the bench. Speaking to BeIN Sports, Wenger has now said that Salah is obsessed in terms of scoring goals and that contributes towards the selfishness and reluctance to contribute towards his teammates.

Arsenal legend Martin Keown has said that he would welcome the prospect of Philippe Coutinho joining the Gunners from Barcelona, although the possibility remains far-fetched at the present point of time. The Brazil international has struggled to impress during the past 18 months with the Blaugrana and he has recently been touted to make a return to the Premier League, where he made a name for himself with Liverpool.

Arsenal legend Ray Parlour has said that the Gunners would be mad to sanction the surprise transfer of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to arch-rivals Manchester United. The Gabon international recently had a fantastic season with 31 goals across all competitions but that did not benefit the club to the fullest as they failed to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

As such, there has been the speculation that Aubameyang could be offloaded to boost the club’s meagre £45m kitty for the summer and United have emerged as shock contenders of late. Speaking to TalkSPORT, Parlour said that the player power has been ruling modern football but it would be madness for the Gunners to part ways with the 30-year-old.

Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette has said that there are a lot of differences in terms of the managerial styles of Unai Emery and former boss Arsene Wenger. The Spanish tactician was appointed to succeed Wenger at the helm last summer and he has since managed to groom the team to his style of play with relative comfort.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Lacazette indicated that there are many differences in the managerial styles of Emery and Wenger. He added that the former has done more on a tactical scale with the club and this has included more video demonstrations of the opposition, he told the publication: “There's a lot of difference. We work tactically more, we do more video as well, how the coach speaks is different than Wenger. It's different. It's hard to always compare the coaches because they have their own technique to manage the team.”

Former England and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Darren Anderton believes Arsenal could miss out on the top four of the Premier League despite possessing the friendlier fixture schedule for the rest of the season. The north London side have propelled to the fourth spot in the standings after impressive performances against Tottenham and Manchester United but Anderton still does not see them making the Champions League cut.

Speaking to 888Sport, the former Spurs favourite said that his former club have not experienced the best of runs over the past month but they still have the credentials to make the top four with the move to the new stadium. He added that Manchester United could be the other team to make the top four cut alongside Tottenham, Manchester City and Liverpool.
