Scout reports, internally and externally of Arsenal FC.

Carlos Vela sparked speculation about a move back to Arsenal this week by saying: 'Arsenal can come back for me at €4million (£3.3m) at any time, which is €1million more than Real Sociedad paid. I look at things differently these days and I won’t close the door on Arsenal, or...
Today I will be writing a scout report on Arsenal target Antoine Griezmann, currently plying his trade in Spain for Real Sociedad. Griezmann is being strongly linked with a move to North London this summer and with the performances he's put in for Sociedad this season, it makes sense. Griezmann...
Bacary Sagna – one of Arsenal’s most consistent performers over the last seven years – would appear to be on his way out of the club.  Although Wenger was fairly optimistic about his contract situation earlier in 2014, negotiations have come to a standstill.  According to Arsene, Arsenal have...
The hunt for a striker continues, from a £40 million pound bid for Luis Suarez in August to a deadline day loan-swoop for Demba Ba, Arsenal haven't had any luck in their never-ending search for a striker. Whilst the club led the Premier League for the majority of the season, Arsenal have come...

The close season, and the madness begins. At the time of writing it's currently July the 15th which historically means the transfer hysteria should be in full flow. However, things seem all too quiet, particularly on the Arsenal front. After a lot of speculation about potential arrivals, there have been anxious feelings from...
  The last trophy for the Gunners came on May 21st 2005, that day also holds extra significance to Arsenal fans because it was Patrick Vieira’s last competitive game for Arsenal. A game where he had just added to his long list of honours with a hard fought F.A Cup victory over Manchester United....
At the time of writing Gonzalo Higuaín is closing in on a £22million move to Arsenal. I’ve had a lot of tweets asking me about Higuain, how I felt about the move, how I felt he would fit in etcetera. As I have with other players like Maraoune Fellaini and...
Last week Arsenal were heavily linked with Marouane Fellaini after The Times suggested the club were favourites to sign the Belgian ahead of Chelsea, Manchester United and other suitors. When I first heard of interest I took it with a pinch of salt and moved on. Then I remembered...
