Juventus have resumed contacts for Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario after talks for Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez collapsed on Sunday night.
City's 3-0 defeat by Arsenal in the Community Shield laid bare the need for central midfield reinforcements, with a move for Lille's Ayyoub Bouaddi nearing completion.
Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri watched on from a distance as Arsenal celebrated the win (Picture: X) Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri were seen awkwardly watching on as the rest of Arsenal’s squad celebrated winning the Community Shield – leaving many fans convinced that their days at the club are numbered. There was some surprise as the two attackers were left out of Arsenal’s clash against Manchester City, with the duo failing to even make the substitutes bench in Cardiff. The two managers were only permitted to name nine players in addition to their starting XIs at the Principality Stadium – a rule that a ‘saddened’ Mikel Arteta hopes is changed. ‘Really sad to not have their availability,’ the Arsenal head coach told TNT Sports ahead of kick-off.

Hopefully we can change that rule.’ The Gunners coped perfectly well without Martinelli and Nwaneri on the day, with Riccardo Calafiori firing the English champions in front after only 23 seconds. Arsenal cruised past City to win the Community Shield for an 18th time (Picture: Getty) Calafiori scored after only 23 seconds in Cardiff (Picture: Getty) Kai Havertz and club captain Martin Odegaard struck either side of half-time to further increase the deficit against a lacklustre City, led by Enzo Maresca for the first time in an official capacity. The result saw the Gunners claim the Community Shield for an 18th time in their history – just three short of Manchester United’s record total of 21 victories. There were jubilant scenes as Arteta’s players gathered around Odegaard on the podium to hold the prize aloft shortly after the final whistle. Martinelli faces an uncertain future at the Emirates (Picture: Getty) However, a video has been circulating amongst Arsenal supporters which shows both Martinelli and Nwaneri standing some distance away from the rest of their team-mates – until Gabriel Magalhaes eventually persuaded them to join in the fun. ‘Bro [three crying emojis] separately, Nwaneri and Martinelli are GONE. Them man were borderline refusing to go over for the celebrations until Big Gabi called them over,’ one Arsenal fan wrote on X. A second bluntly wrote: ‘Just get them gone man, £80m right there and a new attacking signing.’ Bro 😭😭😭 separately, Nwaneri and Martinelli are GONE.

Hale End product Nwaneri has been linked with Serie A giants AC Milan, meanwhile, and Arteta has refused to rule out a move for the youngster, once touted as a potential superstar in north London. ‘I want him to be at the club,’ Arteta said of Nwaneri, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Marseille. ‘But we have to think about the medium and long term,’ Arteta said. ‘What is best for the player? Ethan needs to play football. If he stays here, we must be able to guarantee him those minutes, otherwise it won’t be beneficial for either side.’ Martinelli has entered into the final 12
The 2-0 friendly victory over French club Brest, achieved thanks to first-half strikes from Chris Wood (from the penalty spot) and Luca Netz, featured few of Forest's key men.
Champions delight manager by ‘winning the first trophy’Maresca wants Manchester City signings to arrive soonMikel Arteta said his Arsenal players demonstrated their hunger to defend the Premier League title in their Community Shield triumph over Manchester City. Arsenal, who ended their 22-year wait last season and are seeking to win back-to-back top-flight titles for the first time since 1934-35, beat City 3-0 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff in Enzo Maresca’s first significant match in charge.Riccardo Calafiori opened the scoring after 24 seconds, the fastest goal in the competition since Bobby Owen’s strike for City in 1968, before Kai Havertz doubled Arsenal’s lead and their captain, Martin Ødegaard, completed the scoring on 48 minutes. The 3-0 defeat represented the joint-heaviest loss for a City manager in their first game in charge, with Harry Newbould the most recent to suffer a three-goal opening defeat – 4-1, also to Arsenal, in 1906. It is also Maresca’s joint-heaviest defeat as a manager in England. Continue reading...
