    Eze at Arsenal Juncture, Amazing Barcelona Result, Zubimendi Boost - Arsenal News Show

    2026/11/13 | 57 mins.
    🚨 EBERECHI EZE AT AN ARSENAL CROSSROADS! HUGE BARCELONA RESULT & ZUBIMENDI BOOST!

    What next for EBERECHI EZE at Arsenal?

    The £67.5million signing has reached an important stage in his Gunners career, with questions surrounding his playing time, best position and role in MIKEL ARTETA'S team.

    Is Eze being given the opportunity to show his quality? Does he need to adapt to Arsenal's tactical demands? Or could Arteta unlock another level from the former Crystal Palace star?

    Meanwhile, ARSENAL WOMEN have secured a fantastic 1-1 draw against BARCELONA at Camp Nou in the UEFA Women's Champions League!

    And there's positive news surrounding MARTIN ZUBIMENDI, with the Spanish midfielder dismissing speculation about a potential Arsenal exit.

    Join Tom Canton for today's Arsenal News Show as we discuss Eze's future, Arsenal Women's European performance, Zubimendi's comments and the latest Arsenal news!

    ⭐ EBERECHI EZE — A DEFINING MOMENT AT ARSENAL?

    Eze arrived at Arsenal with enormous expectations, but his journey under Arteta has not been straightforward.

    Despite his outstanding technical ability, creativity and attacking flair, the England international has faced fierce competition for starting places.

    We examine his development, defensive responsibilities, tactical positioning and the challenge of adapting to Arteta's system.

    Should Eze play centrally or on the left? Is he being judged too harshly? And what must he do to establish himself as a regular starter?

    🏆 BARCELONA 1-1 ARSENAL WOMEN — WHAT A RESULT!

    An outstanding night for Renée Slegers' side at Camp Nou!

    FRIDA MAANUM fired Arsenal into a first-half lead before CAROLINE GRAHAM HANSEN equalised for Barcelona.

    Despite facing sustained pressure from the reigning European champions, Arsenal showed tremendous resilience to secure a valuable Champions League point.

    We discuss Maanum's goal, Misa Rodríguez's important saves, Arsenal's defensive organisation and what this result means for their European ambitions.

    🇪🇸 MARTIN ZUBIMENDI — HUGE ARSENAL BOOST!

    Zubimendi has responded to speculation suggesting he could leave Arsenal amid interest from clubs in Spain.

    The midfielder has rejected suggestions that a move is imminent and reiterated his determination to fight for his place in Arteta's team.

    With Arsenal competing for major honours, keeping quality midfield options could be crucial.

    How important is Zubimendi to Arsenal's long-term plans? And should Arteta be giving him more minutes?

    🔴 ARSENAL'S SQUAD DEPTH & TITLE CHALLENGE!

    Arsenal head towards the return of Premier League football with a significant advantage at the top of the table.

    Arsenal Make £100m Enquiry, Gyokeres Speaks Out, Endrick Transfer Truth - Arsenal News Show

    2026/11/12 | 41 mins.
    🚨 ARSENAL MAKE ALEX SCOTT ENQUIRY! GYOKERES BREAKS SILENCE & ENDRICK TRANSFER LATEST!

    Arsenal have reportedly made contact with BOURNEMOUTH over a potential move for ALEX SCOTT, with the England international midfielder valued at around £100 MILLION!

    But the Gunners face competition from LIVERPOOL and CHELSEA, while questions remain over whether Mikel Arteta and Andrea Berta would sanction such an expensive midfield signing.

    Meanwhile, VIKTOR GYOKERES has spoken out about his Arsenal future, his relationship with Arteta and the criticism surrounding his lack of Premier League starts.

    And what is the truth behind Arsenal's reported interest in REAL MADRID wonderkid ENDRICK ahead of the January transfer window?

    Join Tom Canton for today's Arsenal News Show as we discuss the latest Arsenal transfer news, Scott's potential arrival, Gyokeres' revealing interview and the Endrick transfer situation!

    💰 ARSENAL MAKE £100M ALEX SCOTT ENQUIRY!

    Arsenal have reportedly joined Liverpool and Chelsea in making exploratory contact with Bournemouth over Alex Scott.

    The 23-year-old England midfielder has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs, with Bournemouth understood to be demanding a huge fee.

    But there is an important distinction between making an enquiry and submitting a formal transfer bid!

    We discuss Scott's qualities, his potential role in Arteta's midfield and whether Arsenal should spend such a significant sum on another central midfielder.

    Could Scott be a long-term replacement for Mikel Merino? And how would his arrival affect Martin Zubimendi, Declan Rice and Bruno Guimarães?

    🇸🇪 VIKTOR GYOKERES SPEAKS OUT!

    Gyokeres has addressed speculation surrounding his future at Arsenal after struggling for consistent Premier League starts this season.

    Despite scoring and assisting against Slavia Praha, the Swedish striker was back on the bench against Hull City.

    Now Gyokeres has made clear that he wants to remain at Arsenal, is happy with his performances and maintains a positive relationship with Arteta.

    But should he be playing more regularly?

    We examine his comments, the competition with Kai Havertz and whether Arteta is getting the best out of Arsenal's number nine.

    🇧🇷 ENDRICK TO ARSENAL — THE TRANSFER TRUTH!

    Arsenal have been linked with a January move for Real Madrid's Brazilian forward Endrick. But is it true?

    🔥 ARSENAL'S JANUARY TRANSFER PRIORITIES!

    Andrea Berta faces important decisions as Arsenal prepare for the second half of the season.

    Should the Gunners prioritise a £100m midfielder, pursue Endrick or focus on established attacking targets such as Eli Junior Kroupi?

    And how does Arsenal's reported sell-to-buy approach affect their plans?

    Zubimendi Speaks Out & Transfer Links, The 'Sell To Buy' Reality Explained - Arsenal News Show

    2026/11/11 | 40 mins.
    🚨 ZUBIMENDI BREAKS SILENCE! ARSENAL TRANSFER RUMOURS GROW AS THE JANUARY 'SELL TO BUY' REALITY EMERGES!

    MARTIN ZUBIMENDI has spoken out about his Arsenal future amid reported interest from REAL MADRID, ATLETICO MADRID and CHELSEA!

    The Spanish midfielder has struggled for regular starts under Mikel Arteta this season, prompting speculation about a potential January departure. But Zubimendi has pushed back against the rumours, insisting he is happy in London and has not contacted other clubs.

    Meanwhile, Arsenal's January transfer plans are coming into focus, with ANDREA BERTA facing a difficult challenge as the Gunners look to strengthen their attack.

    Does Arsenal's reported 'SELL TO BUY' approach mean the club cannot afford new signings? Or is the reality far more complicated?

    Join Tom Canton for today's Arsenal News Show as we discuss Zubimendi's comments, the latest transfer links, Arsenal's financial position and the players who could arrive or leave in January!

    🇪🇸 ZUBIMENDI SPEAKS OUT — WILL HE STAY?

    Zubimendi has addressed speculation linking him with a move away from Arsenal.

    With Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Chelsea reportedly monitoring his situation, the midfielder has made clear that he remains focused on competing for his place and helping Arsenal win the Premier League.

    But with Declan Rice and Bruno Guimarães among Arteta's midfield options, will Zubimendi get the minutes he wants?

    💰 ARSENAL'S 'SELL TO BUY' REALITY EXPLAINED!

    Despite generating close to £90million through player sales, Arsenal could still need departures before making major January additions.

    But this is not simply about having enough money in the bank!

    We explain the differences between transfer budgets, squad size, wages, financial regulations and Arsenal's ambition to operate sustainably.

    Why might Berta need to move players on even if the club has money available?

    🔥 ARSENAL TRANSFER TARGETS — WHO COULD ARRIVE?

    Arsenal continue to assess attacking reinforcements ahead of January.

    ELI JUNIOR KROUPI, KEVIN SCHADE and ANTONIO NUSA are among the names attracting attention, while previous interest in JULIAN ALVAREZ remains part of the wider conversation.

    Which player would make the biggest difference to Arsenal's attack?

    👀 WHO COULD LEAVE ARSENAL?

    With competition for places fierce, questions remain over the futures of several players.

    Could Zubimendi or Mikel Merino attract serious offers? What happens with Myles Lewis-Skelly and Eberechi Eze? And how should Arsenal balance squad depth against opportunities for younger players?

    We discuss the difficult decisions facing Arteta and Berta.

    🏆 ARSENAL'S TITLE CHALLENGE & JANUARY PLANS!

    Arsenal enter the international break at the top of the Premier League, but maintaining their position will require smart squad management.

    Should the club prioritise another forward, keep its existing squad together or consider a significant sale to fund a major signing?

    🔴 TODAY'S TALKING POINTS:

    Now back in THOMAS TUCHEL'S ENGLAND SQUAD, White has explained why he still stands by his decision and why he refuses to reveal everything that happened behind the scenes.

    Meanwhile, UNAI EMERY is facing fresh scrutiny following his dramatic tunnel exit during Aston Villa's extraordinary 4-4 draw against Manchester United, while questions surrounding ANDREA BERTA and an award have sparked another Arsenal debate.

    Join Tom Canton for today's Arsenal News Show as we discuss the latest Arsenal news, Ben White's England comments, Emery's handshake history and the Andrea Berta award confusion!

    🏴 BEN WHITE BREAKS HIS ENGLAND SILENCE!

    After years of speculation surrounding his departure from England's 2022 World Cup squad, Ben White has finally addressed the situation.

    The Arsenal defender believes supporters would have reacted differently had they known the full story, but insists he will not publicly blame anyone involved.

    White has also discussed the emotional experience of being booed on his England return, his relationship with international football and his determination to move forward.

    Was White unfairly judged? And should England fans now put the controversy behind them?

    🤝 UNAI EMERY — HANDSHAKE CONTROVERSY CONTINUES!

    Aston Villa's dramatic 4-4 draw against Manchester United has reignited the debate surrounding Unai Emery's touchline behaviour.

    The former Arsenal manager headed down the tunnel following United's late equaliser, prompting questions about his failure to remain on the touchline until the final whistle.

    But this is not the first time Emery has been involved in a post-match handshake controversy.

    We revisit previous incidents involving Mikel Arteta, Gary O'Neil, Rob Edwards and Maurizio Sarri, examine Emery's explanations and ask whether different managers receive different levels of criticism.

    🏆 ANDREA BERTA — ARSENAL AWARD CONFUSION!

    Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta is at the centre of another discussion involving an award and the recognition of his work.

    We examine the circumstances, what the award represents and why supporters are questioning the situation.

    How much credit should Berta receive for Arsenal's recruitment strategy and the squad assembled alongside Mikel Arteta?

    🔴 ARSENAL'S INTERNATIONAL BREAK BEGINS!

    Arsenal head into the November international break following their 1-0 victory over Hull City.

    With Ben White, Declan Rice, Eberechi Eze and other Gunners involved in international football, Arteta will be hoping his players return fit and ready for the next run of fixtures.

    Can Arsenal maintain their momentum when Premier League football returns?
