It's that time of the year again - the transfer window is now open until September 1 and it's sure to be a busy period with clubs looking to make big signings ahead of next season.
Arsenal are in talks to sign Victor Osimhen from Galatasaray (Photo: Getty) Martin Keown doesn’t believe Arsenal need to sign a new striker but says there is another ‘problem’ Mikel Arteta must address before the summer transfer window closes. Arsenal take on Manchester City in the Community Shield on Sunday, before kicking-off their Premier League title defence against Coventry City next Friday. Over £150million has already been spent this summer, most notably on Bruno Guimaraes and Christos Tzolis, but the Gunners are still working on adding some more firepower to their squad before deadline day on September 1. After failed moves for Morgan Rogers and Vinicius Junior, Arsenal are now in negotiations for Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen.

The prolific Nigerian would surely be a welcome addition, with the jury still out on Viktor Gyokeres, Gabriel Jesus close to joining Napoli and Kai Havertz struggling with injuries. But Keown believes there is only one position that Arteta needs to strengthen in this window, and it’s not centre-forward. Asked by Hayers TV if Arteta needs to make more big signings to retain the Premier League title and finally win the Champions League, Keown bluntly replied: ‘No. Martin Keown says there is a potential problem with Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal squad (Photo: Getty) ‘I wondered whether they might look again at a striker. But they obviously feel now Havertz has come through the pre-season… I think that’s really critical and he’s got that base for the season, so no. ‘I think Myles Lewis-Skelly is coming into midfield, so you’ve got competition there. [Martin] Zubimendi is now in a fight for his first-team place. So that looks good. ‘The defenders, you got [Riccardo] Calafiori, [Piero] Hincapie, there’s a lot of guys in there. William Saliba won’t start the season, but [Cristhian] Mosquera has been excellent in pre-season, he really looks sharp. ‘[Marli] Salmon is a youngster coming through. So, you don’t want to be blocking the pathway for these players, but only the manager will know what he wants next. You’ve always got to have players in mind. Jurrien Timber will miss the start of the new season through injury (Photo: Getty) ‘Right-back could be a problem if Jurrien Timber’s not going to be ready because obviously Ben White’s had a few injuries, but Mosquera again can go into that position. So, that might be something they’re looking at, to bring a right-back in.’ Timber was forced to pull out of the Netherlands squad for the World Cup because of a persistent groin problem and Arteta has confirmed he will miss the first few weeks of the season. White suffered four separate injuries last season, missing 13 games, and has been linked with a transfer away from north London. Keown will be pleased to know that signing another right-sided defender is on Arteta’s agenda, with reports on Friday emerging that talks have begun to sign Jarell Quansah from Bayer Leverkusen. Arsenal are interesting in signing England star Jarell Quansah (Photo: Getty) The England international is said to be open to moving to the Emirates just a year after he joined Leverkusen from boyhood club Liverpool for £30million. Naturally a centre-back, Quansah can play right-back too, doing so during England’s run to third-place at the 2026 World Cup. While some fans may be underwhelmed to see Arsenal signing more defenders than attackers, Keown doesn’t see it that way, adding: ‘They proved it [that they have a good defensive core] last year. ‘You might have looked at it and thought we had too many left-backs, but in the end we used all of them and [there were] multiple changes to the back-four. I’d like to see a bit more stability.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page. Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Com

Scholes says Arsenal must keep their young star this summer (Picture: The Overlap Fan Debate) Paul Scholes believes Arsenal would be better off ‘getting rid’ of Martin Zubimendi and handing Myles Lewis-Skelly a more prominent role in the team this season. After a breakout campaign for the Gunners and for England during the 2024-25 season, Lewis-Skelly endured a frustrating campaign last term before finally forcing his way back into the side for the title run-in. The 20-year-old started just one Premier League game before April but with other members of the squad tiring, started in midfield in big wins over Fulham and West Ham United in May. Lewis-Skelly also shone in the Champions League semi-final victory over Atletico Madrid, keeping his place in the side in the final against Paris Saint-Germain in Budapest. With Mikel Arteta preferring Riccardo Calafiori and Piero Hincapie at left-back, Lewis-Skelly’s resurgence came in central midfield. Get the latest transfer news every morning Sign up to our daily football newsletter for personalised updates on who your team is trying to sign and who won't be around next season. But the addition of Bruno Guimaraes to an area of the pitch that already includes Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard, Mikel Merino and Zubimendi has raised doubts over his future again. Zubimendi enjoyed an impressive first season in England last term but struggled towards the back end of a draining campaign with only David Raya and Rice racking up more minutes. Lewis-Skelly has been offered to other clubs (Picture: Getty Images Europe) Lewis-Skelly replaced the Spain international in the side in those key fixtures with Manchester United legend Scholes believing he should be the one to make way to ensure the Arsenal youngster gets more opportunities. ‘I prefer Myles Lewis-Skelly in centre midfield to Zubimendi,’ Scholes said in the latest episode of The Overlap Fan Debate. ‘I think Zubimendi struggled last year. If there’s one player you are going to get rid of, it would be him [Martin Zubimendi]. The problem I’ve got with this left back role is that [Mikel] Arteta last year basically played four centre-halves last season.’ Zubimendi joined from Real Sociedad last year (Picture: Nicolò Campo/LightRocket via Getty Images) There have been conflicting reports over Lewis-Skelly’s future with it suggested he has been offered to both Chelsea and Manchester United. United were first credited with interest back in January with Michael Carrick still eager to sign a left-back and a midfielder – two positions Lewis-Skelly can cover. Lewis-Skelly, who is under contract until 2030, scored during Arsenal’s friendly win over Como on Wednesday and celebrated by making the shape of a heart with his hands towards the crowd at the Emirates. But Arteta remained tight-lipped about the midfielder’s future after the game, insisting: ‘I’m not going to talk about any speculation. ‘If there is a speculation about our players, that’s a good sign. That means that we attract attention and they’re doing a good job.’ Comment now Comments Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google Add as preferred source

The two sides renew their rivalry this weekend (Picture: Getty) Arsenal and Manchester City meet in the Community Shield on Sunday with the first piece of silverware of the season set to be handed out. While the traditional curtain-raiser is viewed by some as little more than a glorified friendly, both teams will nevertheless be keen to head into the new campaign with a dose of positivity. But perhaps surprisingly, victory in the annual game does not historically translate to success in the Premier League season ahead. Of the past 15 teams to have won the Community Shield, only one side has gone on to win the league title at the end of that season. Get the latest transfer news every morning Sign up to our daily football newsletter for personalised updates on who your team is trying to sign and who won't be around next season. That team is Manchester City, who completed the Community Shield and Premier League double in the 2018/19 season. And in the Premier League era as a whole, only eight of the 34 winners of the Shield have gone on to win the trophy, with five of these happening in a six-year period from 2005 until 2010. As a matter of fact, the Community Shield runners-up have actually been more successful in the league than the winners themselves. Manchester City went on to win the league in 2018/19 (Picture: Getty) Since 1992, the losers have won ten league titles compared to the eight picked up by the winners. Three of these instances were Manchester City, who were beaten three seasons in a row between 2021 and 2023. And of the 34 Premier League winners, 15 weren’t even involved in the game itself. What’s more, the winners and runners-up have only finished as the top two teams in the Premier League on ten occasions. Last year’s winners, Crystal Palace, ended up finishing 15th in the league – although it was unrealistic to expect Oliver Glasner’s side to compete for the title. The beaten team, Liverpool, could only manage a disappointing fifth place under Arne Slot. Community Shield winners - league position 2011/12: Man Utd – 2nd 2012/13: Man City – 2nd 2013/14: Man Utd – 7th 2014/15: Arsenal – 3rd 2015/16: Arsenal – 2nd 2016/17: Man Utd – 6th 2017/18: Arsenal – 6th 2018/19: Man City – 1st 2019/20: Man City – 2nd 2020/21: Arsenal – 8th 2021/22: Leicester – 8th 2022/23: Liverpool – 5th 2023/24: Arsenal – 2nd 2024/25: Man City – 3rd 2025/26: Crystal Palace – 15th Who actually performs better in the Community Shield? Of the 34 Community Shield winners in the Premier League era, 18 won the league title in the previous season, while 13 were the FA Cup holders. But while the Premier League champions have a better success rate in the one-off game, the FA Cup winners have won eight of the past 12 Community Shields – including Palace last year. The other three Community Shield winners since 1992 were neither the Premier League nor FA Cup winners. Arsenal (1999 and 2023) and Manchester United (2010) only played in the game as Premier League runners-up and ended up beating the Double winners to claim the trophy.
