It seems that Belgian wonderkid Eden Hazard is closing in on joining Arsenal as, according to
sources close to Hazard, they are in the driving seat for his signature. The sport.co.uk source
said: "There is a lot of interest in Eden currently as you would expect. Which top club in football
wouldn't want to be interested in [.
It has just been reported in today's Star that the Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has finally made an
agreement with Southampton to bring Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to the Emirates, beating off interest
from Liverpool and Chelsea. It seems that Arsenal have agreed to pay £5m up front, with another
£5m to be gained as the youngster [.
Arsene Wenger took the strange step of publicly announcing his interest in Alex
Oxlaide-Chamberlain yesterday. It isn't very common that Wenger to take such a move but after
revelations claiming that Chamberlain has decided that Arsenal will be his destination the boss
said: "I think, if that is right, that is a very good decision, we will try now.
Arsene Wenger has been linked with the brilliant young attacking midfielder Eden Hazard ever since
he first came to prominence as a 16 year-old, and the player has regularly admitted that he would
love to come to Arsenal when he finally leaves Lille. Now the French club have accepted that they
are now about to lose [.
Carlos Vela's Arsenal career will take a new twist after being allowed to leave on loan for the
rest of the season by manager Arsene Wenger. Carlos, who arrived at the club having served three
seasons out on loan in Spain to qualify for citizenship, will look to return to Spain to get some
match [...
Ryo Miyaichi is not a name on the lips of most Arsenal fans, however, he is indeed their latest
signing. The deal was put in place last summer on transfer deadline day and has recently been
confirmed on the official club website. A statement read: Arsenal Football Club is delighted to
confirm that Japanese forward Ryo [.
Lacina Traore is currently being offered around clubs in England, and the rest of Europe. His
burgeoning reputation amongst football fans and clubs alike has come after his impressive Champions
League performances for CFR Cluj and also in the Romanian domestic league. JustArsenal understands
that Traore has been offered to Arsenal and there have been discussions [.
Arsenal transfer rumours are relatively thin on the ground at the moment but the rumour that
everyone dreads has finally surfaced Samir Nasri is interesting Barcelona and they are planning to
make a move for the French international who has almost single-handedly won Arsenal games this
season. CaughtOffside claim that Barcelona officials were watching Nasri [.
Reports in the media suggest that Arsenal are chasing the signature of want-away Liverpool defender
Daniel Agger. Liverpool have been in shocking form this season and manager Roy Hodgson may not even
make it though the next 24 hours as manager after a humiliating defeat away at Blackburn has piled
even more misery onto him, the [.
It has been a quite quiet day today for Arsenal transfer rumours. It is well accepted that it is a
question of a center-back or nothing when it comes to signings, the manager is waiting on the
diagnosis of Sebastian Squillaci's injury after Thomas Vermaelen had yet another setback in
training, Italian full-back Davide Santon is [.
Arsene Wenger seemed to say the other day that he was definitely going to be trying to buy a new
centre-back for Arsenal this month, but now it seems that he has back-tracked, and has said on the
official Arsenal site that he doesn't really one after all! But of course IF a top-class defender
with [.
We have seen some weird and whacky transfer rumours for Arsenal before, but has there been one
whackier than those claiming that 34 year old Italian defender Nicola Legrottaglie is being
considered? Various news media outlets are running with the story that Arsenal are interested in
signing the experienced Juventus defender as a short term option [.
The Daily Mail claim that Arsenal are closing in on securing the £5m purchase of Southampton
midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in a surprise move to prevent rivals Man United and Liverpool
from getting their hands on the youngster. The move would come as a massive surprise to fans after
the focus has been on bolstering the center-back [.
It looks like Arsene Wenger has left it a little late again in the transfer market, as it is being
reported today that the Aston Villa boss Gerrard Houllier is close to signing Emir Spahic from
Montpellier for £5million. The big Bosnian international made it clear last week that he would
love to join Arsenal after [.
It is still largely quiet in the media surrounding Arsenal's transfer targets, the only news
available is about Jay Emmanuel-Thomas. Preston North End are the club interested but I don't
believe he will go there for a second, there are a variety of reasons and I will take you through
them: Wages: Emmanuel-Thomas had the option [.
It is now even more urgent that Arsenal get a new centre-back this month now that it has been
revealed that Thomas Vermaelen requires surgery on his achilles problem, but has Arsene Wenger
actually made any moves to try and get anyone in? The most touted names to move to the Emirates at
the beginning of [.
According to Arsene Wenger, Andrey Arshavin has been suffering from a 'blip' in form but will be
back to his best sooner rather than later. Indeed, the boss reckons he is already on his way back
but just lacking in confidence. Despite his torrid form he has still contributed a lot to the
team this season with seven [.
The news broke yesterday in all the Arsenal Blogs that Carlos Vela was set to follow in the
footsteps of Jack Wilshere by spending the second half of the season playing at Bolton under Owen
Coyle, but, despite an agreement in place and ready to sign, Vela eventually ended up signing for
West Brom. Well today [.
It clearly looks like Manuel Almunia has played his last game for the Gunners, and most Arsenal
fans would suggest that he has outstayed his welcome by about six months. Just about all the
Arsenal blogs on the web were publishing articles saying that the 33 year-old Spaniard had to be
replaced as it was revealed [.
The Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been talking frankly about the transfer window, and has
admitted that if Thomas Vermaelen does not react well to his latest treatment then the Gunners may
be forced to buy another centre-back to cover the Belgian's absence. Wenger admitted: "Yes, should
Thomas Vermaelen not come back quickly that is an [.
In Arsene Wenger's pre-match press conference ahead of the FA Cup clash with Leeds United, he was
drawn into comment on the short-term futures of four players, whilst he also gave us an update on
the situation of Aaron Ramsey. Vela, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas and Almunia have been the subject of
intense transfer speculation in the past [.
A look through today's two main Arsenal rumours and they are big, big rumours. Probably rubbish
though but interesting all the same and well worth a read. The Sunday Express are running a story
claiming that Sol Campbell may return to Arsenal as cover for Thomas Vermaelen and to be quite
honest I think it [.
Welcome to another day of Arsenal transfer rumours, surprisingly the rumour mill is not running at
full whack yet, still time though. It says a lot that a lot of fans are not expecting us to sign a
player, even after the manager has been a lot more forthcoming regarding transfers recently. Today
he said: "Unfortunately I [.
Today's Guest Post comes from a new Arsenal fan site called ArseneWenger.com. Being specialists in
Wenger's thoughts hopefully they will be able to help us all interpret the great mans psychological
musings in the future..... Wenger's New Player Options for Arsenal's 2010-2011 Defence January is
usually the time when Premier League teams conduct player transfers.
The first bit of Arsenal transfer action of this January window is the loaning out of youngster
Wellington Silva to Spanish club Levante. Wellington doesn't qualify for a British work-permit and
after losing an appeal at a FIFA hearing, needs to be loaned out to Spain until he qualifies.
Arsenal announced the move just before the [.
Today Arsene Wenger held his pre-match press conference and he discussed the possibility of signing
a defender, the future of useless keeper Almunia and the future of Andrey Arshavin. We all know I
want a new defender, a proper defender and no quick-fit half cop center-back like Silvestre or
Squillaci however it seems this is [.
The boss was at pains to point out that nobody will be leaving the club in the January transfer
window in his press conference yesterday. He was asked a range of questions on a range of players,
the first one was about Aaron Ramsey's short-term future and the question of him going out on loan
[...]
It is suspiciously quiet around Arsenal regarding transfers at the moment, there have been the
mutterings of Gary Cahill, Matthew Upson, Per Mertesacker, Samba and a few other names that nobody
has ever heard of, however, the Daily Mail are reporting that we are not willing to stump up the
cash for Gary Cahill: According to [.
Jay Emmanuel-Thomas has finally got the loan move that he desired, only it wasn't to a Premier
League club after all, it was to Championship side Cardiff. I am not sure if this is a good move or
not for Jay, the club were very keen on sending him on loan to a Premiership side but [...]
The physical wounds inflicted by Ryan Shawcross have healed for Aaron Ramsey, he is probably in the
best physical shape of his life but there is now just one thing missing that that is his form.
There is only one way of re-finding that: game time. He is not going to get that at Arsenal. He has
[...]
The rumour-mill may keep turning and turning but the Arsenal FC Chequebook is staying firmly under
lock and key by the look of it. The only real Arsenal transfer news is about players leaving on
loan, though The Goon Blog ran a story about Eden Hazard provisionally agreeing terms to join the
club, with just [.

Over the weekend the tabloid 'News of the World" ran a back-page spread linking Arsenal with a move
for Tottenham's walking injury named Jonathan Woodgate. Arsene Wenger was a keen admirer of the
player during his Leeds and Newcastle days but couldn't stump up the cash when he went to Real
Madrid.
It seems that the Arsenal striker Carlos Vela has won his argument with Arsene Wenger over the
destination for his six-month loan. The Gunners boss wanted Vela to join another club in the
Premiership so he easily monitor his development like he did with Jack Wilshere at Bolton last
season, and it was expected that [.
I have just received this Guest Post from Malawi, and I don't think that Arsene Wenger understands
how much his smallest decision affects people all over the world. This post may help us all to
understand just that little bit more..... WHY WE NEED A CENTRE BACK by Dalitso Kuphanga, Lilongwe
Malawi I write from a small country [.
It is ok, I forgive you for laying in and waiting until later than usual for your transfer news
update from Just Arsenal after watching the team reach the Carling Cup Final last night. That win
last night was rather nice wasn't it! Sadly it seems that recent performances (and clean sheets!!)
have persuaded the [.
Carlos Vela is a player who divides opinion. He has undoubted quality but just doesn't seem to
take his chances when he is in the first team. His party-boy lifestyle probably has something to do
with it, he is a young lad who wants to have fun but at the moment it looks like it is affecting
his [..
It was widely held at the beginning of the transfer window that Arsene Wenger needed to get in some
cover at centre-back due to the long-term injury to Thomas Vermaelen, which was no closer to
getting fixed at Christmas. Wenger duely announced that if the prognosis was not good for Vermaelen
then Arsenal would definitely [.
Arsenal confirmed the news that Carlos Vela will join West Brom on loan for the rest of the season.
It has been a strange few months for the Mexican. He had a bright start to the season but quickly
found himself frozen out with Chamakh bang in form, Bendtner returning from injury and Samir Nasri
being [.
