Romano: Arsenal has contacted Rennes star Yakai! The Gunners central defender may still leave the team this summer!

Squawka, Trosad scored 0.61 goals (goals + assists) per 90 minutes in Arsenal, and 0.84 goals as a substitute.

In contrast, Martinelli scored an average of 0.49 goals per 90 minutes as a starter, and 0.56 as a substitute.

Overall, if you only look at the participating goals data, Trosad is actually more efficient than Martineil, both as the main force and as a substitute. This is also the reason why many people don’t want to sell Trosad. He is really very efficient, especially when he appears as a substitute. It can be said that he is one of the few backup players in the team that Arteta can place hope for.

Martin Jr. is not known for his efficient goals and assists. He brings the team the speed of counterattack, the sharp blades when accelerating the rhythm and the transition from offense to defense. Moreover, Martin's physical running and returning defense are also the key to the left-back being able to play introductory tactics. If Martin Jr. does not return to defense, he will be penetrated at any time.

Of course, no matter what, the forward still depends on goals and assists, which is also what Martin needs to strengthen, as well as his ability to pass the last and last shots.

Interestingly, whether it is Martin or Trosad, his efficiency when he comes on the bench every 90 minutes is higher than the starter. Perhaps when he comes on the bench, the opponent's physical fitness is often bottomed out, which is an influencing factor.

Bellein posted an IG showing that he and former Arsenal teammate Zaka reunited in a friendly match.

Zachar recently transferred to join Sunderland and will fight for relegation in the new season; Bellerin plays for Betis.

Zhaka is 32 years old, and even Bellerin is 30 years old. Once again, he sighs that time has passed. The young Bellerin back then is already a 30-year-old veteran...

It is very happy to see that these former Gunners are still friends. Both of them were once the few remaining Wenger elements in Arsenal, but these elements are basically gone now. Maybe Nelson is left. It is estimated that they will be cleaned up this summer.

gunnerblog posted on TA about what happened during Arsenal's trip to Asia.

reported that Arteta has realized that the joining of Zhekelais requires the team to change its tactical style, and Arsenal needs to play more directly and more penetrating in verticality, and he has begun to implement this transformation since the team resumed training in July.

Arsenal, on the other hand, was impressed by Berta's professionalism and perseverance, and they were satisfied with the Italians' implementation of the signing plan this summer, whether it was the personnel introduced or the timing of the deal being completed.

Another person who needs to be pointed out is Heinze, the first team coach spent a lot of time practicing defensive tactics with Skelly in the preseason. The new coach impressed the club on the training ground. He was very straightforward and loud and had a sense of presence when expressing his opinions.

Finally, the article points out that Arsenal players will return to Kearney base on Monday to start new training.

ESPN reporter JO also posted a post to talk about similar content, but it is more comprehensive. Let's take a look together.

ESPN reporter JO posted a message talking about what happened behind the scenes during Arsenal's trip to Asia.

reported that shortly after arriving in Singapore, Arteta and Garik (general manager) spoke to the team at the hotel where they were staying, and the insider used one word to describe the theme of the speech: vitality, and the source said that the word was repeatedly mentioned in the speech.

JO said Berta's performance this summer impressed many club decision makers, with senior executives joking that he never seems to sleep, and the Italian professionalism even surprised those who were already impressed with his work. The article pointed out that in many cases this summer, Berta is the one who is left behind to lead the negotiations, and he will regularly report the progress of the matter to Arsenal's decision-makers. Sources said Berta's clear and regular reporting habit is another very popular feature.

JO also talked about the reason why Arsenal gave up Seschko. He said that Arsenal had actually made preparations for the deal for more than a year, but after preliminary negotiations this summer, the deal would be very expensive for a player who has not fully released its potential. The high transfer fee and salary sounded the alarm for Arsenal, because if Seschko's transfer is ultimately proven to be unsuccessful, then there is a risk of a value downward trend. Zhekelais's efficiency and firm character in Portugal sports made the Gunners convinced that he was the right center.

In addition, JO also said that Arsenal realized that the style of play must be changed to allow Zhekelais to play the most, which does not mean that the team will launch more long passes, but will increase the speed of the propulsion when attacking.

The article also mentioned that Arsenal has realized that the injury problem has cost Arsenal a heavy price last season, and a comprehensive internal review has been completed, including the training plan, especially the load issue after the players return from international games. For example, Gabriel suffered a hamstring injury in April against Fulham, which happened after international match day, and internal data showed Gabriel was sprinting at the fastest speed in two months.

However, the source also pointed out that Arsenal also understands that no matter how careful their plans are, some injuries are purely due to luck, and their transfer strategy this summer has been greatly affected, and the North London giants tend to acquire players with guaranteed attendance.

Finally, JO said that the calmness that Dowman showed in the preseason surprised Arsenal, but they also realized that this was a growing child, so Arteta tended to protect him, and the Gunners were already planning to offer the prodigy a professional contract next year.

Let's talk about it briefly:

After reading it, I feel that I still have some expectations for the new season, and there should be some changes. To be honest, this kind of public relations article is available every summer, and gun fans are used to it. No matter how good the advertisement is, it depends on the efficacy.

The speech on Singapore is probably mobilized in the nature of preseason, and it also puts forward requirements for the new season to boost morale. This is Arteta's specialty. Needless to say, but the theme of "energy" is actually not novel. To put it bluntly, Arteta is still giving everyone a bloody blood, allowing the players to run more, oppress more, and fill more positions. But what Arsenal needs now is to break the last layer of window paper, which requires more detailed processing, more targeted on-site command, more reasonable arrangements, and more innovative tactical arrangements... not just to get rid of the bloody blood.

TA and ESPN both posted articles to praise Berta. I personally admire his work very much. Let's just transfer and contract renewal this summer. It can be said that it is clean and neat, especially when buying people. It can be said that it is quiet and virgin, as if it is moving, it can be finalized in almost a few days. Zhekelais' transfer line has been long, but it is finalized in more than half a month after the lockdown. Other transactions can be completed in almost a week, which is very efficient! Moreover, Berta also focuses on strategy and does not hang himself on a tree. The cases of Xieshko and Zhekelais are proved that they are very pragmatic.

Berta has also done a good job in renewing the contract. Envanelli is about to sign a new contract. The rest depends on how hard Berta is selling people. To be honest, this tests his skills.

As for the choices of Isak, Sheshko and Dzekelish, this issue has been analyzed many times and will not be said more. Moreover, Zhashko has joined, and those are useless. Let Manchester United, Newcastle, Liverpool and others get involved in the matter of Sheshko and Dzekelish. Arsenal has completed the center signing. Make early decisions and get better soon, don’t envy others or pay attention to them.

As for the purpose of changing the tactical style for Zhekelais, I think this is also something that most gun fans like. In fact, no matter what the reason is, the tactics should be updated. It is particularly obvious in the past year. Arsenal played too dull and too rigid, and there should be something new. Zhekelais joins and needs to use him well. Zhekelais is not a player of Havertz.

In fact, from the highlights, although Zhekelais also has the ability to take the ball with his back and protect the ball for his teammates, this is not his characteristic or strength. Zhekelais is a striker with a strong impact and better at creating threats to the goal. In fact, he is not the kind of player who can bring great breakthroughs in positional battles. Therefore, the transformation of sports wars and offensive defense must be done well, the offensive rhythm must be accelerated, and the maximum performance of Zhekelais' strong mobility and ability to disrupt the situation. But there is really no need to pass too much, and that is not what Arsenal is good at...

Regarding injuries, before the end of last season, there was news that Arsenal would review this issue after the end of the season to find out the crux of the problem. After searching, there are three main conclusions drawn: training, players' physical overload after international matches and luck...

Objectively speaking, these three factors do have an impact, but I think that the lack of Arteta rotation leads to the accumulation of fatigue of the main players, but I can't just say it outlines... It is appropriate to buy players with high attendance rates, that is, players with few injuries. For example, buying Calafiori last year is worth discussing. It is very risky to buy even though he knows that he has a history of injury.

Doman needs no more. 100% future supernova, his talent has the potential to become the number one player in Great Britain, and even Bisaka has the potential (Saka has the ability to get rid of it but does not have strong breakthrough ability, Doman can surpass people continuously), it depends on how to use it. He will definitely sign a new contract.

Romano tweeted: Kiviol's future is still open, and many clubs hope to sign the central defender.

Arteta is more inclined to keep Kiviol, and Arsenal has rejected a offer from Portugal in July. The future depends on the players' own decisions, and wanting to play in more games may be an influencing factor.

I personally think that Arsenal's plan will not take the initiative to sell Kiviol, but if there is a high offer, it is not ruled out that he will be cashed out. I don't think it is necessary to sell it for 20 to 30 million.

I agree with Arteta. If Mosquera signs to sell Kiviol, it is difficult to say that the central defender position is strengthened. Originally, I didn't think there was a need to strengthen the central defender position this summer, but buying Moscarat for more than 10 million yuan is not to be missed, but if Kiviol is sold for this reason, it may not be worth the loss from the competitive perspective.

To be honest, there is still a lot of pressure to sell people. Vieira, Nelson, Loconga, and Zinchenko, these four people should be decisively expelled, and don’t hesitate. Although everyone has their own role, in the long run, it is better to cut the mess quickly and expel it quickly.

Romano tweeted: Arsenal has made initial contacts to express interest in 19-year-old central defender Jeremy Yakai.

Yake has recently renewed his contract with Rennes to 2029. Arsenal admires the central defender very much. He is on the Gunners' list of signings in case players leave this month...or as an option for 2026.

News from Yakai suddenly appeared on Sunday afternoon, but according to Romano's meaning, this deal is not a must-have. It will only happen if someone leaves the team - such as Kiviol - or just buy it next year.

But I also said above that it is hard to say that it is improving if you lose Kiviol and introduce Mosquera or Yakai. The latter two are very young and have no experience in the Premier League. Although they both have great potential, Arteta and Arsenal have reached a situation where it is difficult to explain if they don’t win the championship.

I personally think it is better to keep Kiviol, so that the central defender can be guaranteed. Let’s consider the new central defender next year. The central defender will not move this year...
