Arsenal considered a bid for Chelsea striker Joao Pedro (Picture: Getty) Arsenal put Chelsea striker Joao Pedro on their longlist of possible transfer targets over the summer but decided against making an official move. Mikel Arteta was open to signing a new striker after Viktor Gyokeres’ mixed first season at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners were ready to sanction a huge bid for Julian Alvarez but the Atletico Madrid striker was reluctant to return to the Premier League and had his heart set on a move to Barcelona. Arsenal of course had the chance to make a move for another striker and bosses at the north London club expressed interest in Chelsea’s Pedro.

The Brazil international enjoyed a promising first season at Stamford Bridge, scoring 20 goals in all competitions, and has netted two goals in four games so far this season. Pedro was less influential in Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday as the Gunners climbed back to the top of the table and ended the Blues’ perfect start to the new season. A number of pundits still view Pedro as one of the best strikers in the Premier League and the 24-year-old has many ‘admirers’ at Chelsea’s London rivals Arsenal. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta (Picture: Getty) But Arsenal decided not to move for Pedro as there were ‘concerns’ over how the Brazilian would fit into Arteta’s system at Arsenal, according to BBC Sport. Pedro, who was heavily linked with Barcelona earlier in the summer, views Arsenal defender Gabriel as the ‘toughest’ opponent he has come up against in the Premier League. ‘The toughest defender to play against this season? Top three: Willian Pacho and Jonathan Tah, but Gabriel Magalhaes was the toughest in my opinion,’ the attacker told TNT Sports Brasil back in May. Arsenal wanted to sign Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid (Picture: Getty) ‘I was surprised by his speed, but I gave him a hard time, too! He’s been inspired this season.’ Meanwhile, Michael Owen believes Manchester United should have launched a move for Pedro years ago as he has always been a ‘huge fan’ of the Chelsea star. Asked to name Arsenal’s biggest rival for the Premier League title this season, Owen told The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast: ‘Chelsea. ‘This could be way off the mark but they’ve got no Europe at all and you see how important that has been over the years. It was brilliant for Manchester United last year. ‘This manager [Xabi Alonso] did something similar with an unfancied team in Germany [Bayer Leverkusen], he’s going to change a lot, they’ve bought well. ‘I’m a huge Joao Pedro fan, I think he’s unbelievable. In fact, Manchester United should have bought him about four years ago when he was at Watford. ‘United had nobody up front for years and I thought, “That Joao Pedro”, I love him.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Former Man Utd and England captain Wayne Rooney (Picture: BBC) Wayne Rooney believes Gabriel was ‘extremely lucky’ not to be sent off during Arsenal’s Premier League win over Chelsea. The reigning champions maintained their perfect start to the new season with a comeback victory over Xabi Alonso’s Chelsea on Sunday. Chelsea also came into the north London clash with a 100% record and made a superb start, taking the lead inside two minutes through ex-Arsenal target Morgan Rogers. But Kai Havertz equalised against his former club midway through the first half before Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard netted a second-half winner.

Former Manchester United and England captain Rooney felt Arsenal should have been reduced to ten men just five minutes into the game after Gabriel kicked Chelsea goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez in the head. Several Chelsea players reacted angrily to the incident which left Martinez lying in pain and requiring medical attention. Chris Kavanagh’s view was obscured by a scramble in the penalty box but VAR did not suggest the referee consult the pitchside monitor for a second look. Gabriel celebrating Arsenal’s win over Chelsea (Picture: Getty) Analysing the incident on BBC’s Match of the Day, Rooney said: ‘You don’t really see it at first sight but then when you see a replay and they slow it down… ‘Martinez has got the ball in his hands and Gabriel boots him in the head, he swings a leg and goes way over the top. He’s extremely lucky to stay on the pitch.’ Former England defender Ashley Young added: ‘I agree. When the ball is on the floor and Martinez has it, Gabriel kicks so high. How this was not a foul? Gabriel kicking Martinez on head, should have been straight RED. #ARSCHE pic.twitter.com/5icTyXMmh9— The Final Whistle (@Rufus_45) September 6, 2026 ‘I’m not sure why it hasn’t gone to VAR of if they’ve properly studied it because he’s nowhere the ball. He’s got away with one there.’ Mikel Arteta was full of praise for his players after the London derby, describing Arsenal’s performance as ‘incredible’. ‘It wasn’t the right start but we certainly reacted in an amazing way,’ Arteta said. Arsenal beat Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium (Picture: Getty) ‘I enjoyed the way we competed; we took risks, it was a joy to watch and an incredible game. ‘They [Chelsea] have a great coach [Alonso] who can set them up in great condition. With the quality they have, you feel they can create something out of nothing at any moment. ‘We constrained them well. Overall, it was an incredible performance from our side.’ On Arsenal’s flawless start to the new season and their title defence, Arteta added: ‘We are very happy and we need to continue to raise the bar and look to improve every single time. ‘There are still a lot of margins to do that. But we need to enjoy the victory now because it was a big one today.’ Arsenal put their Premier League title defence on hold during the week as they begin their Champions League campaign against Serie A side Napoli. Chelsea, meanwhile, return to action on Wednesday night with a Carabao Cup clash against Leeds United. For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Arsenal were never likely to have it as easy as they did in the 3-0 opening-day win over Coventry City, but they did more than enough to merit the three points here. Shots and clear chances were at a premium - they only had two shots on target, which was two more than Villa. Gabriel Magalhaes and Bukayo Saka had efforts off target in the first half.
Arteta will have the final say on any move (Picture: Pau Barrena/Getty Images) Fenerbahce have made an ambitious move to sign Arsenal defender Cristhian Mosquera before the summer transfer window closes. Mosquera joined the Gunners from Valencia for £13million plus add-ons, signing a five-year contract in north London last summer. The Spain Under-21 international enjoyed an impressive first season in the Premier League, stepping into replace William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes when injury struck. He also had a run at right-back at the end of the campaign, starting in that role in the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain.

Arsenal have added to their defensive options this summer with Ezri Konsa arriving from Aston Villa for £50million. Reports in Turkey now suggest Fenerbahce will test Arsenal’s resolve with a loan offer for Mosquera. Fanatik report head coach Ismail Kartal has personally requested the Gunners star as he seeks to strengthen his defence with the club beginning negotiations to sign the 22-year-old on loan. Mosquera started against Coventry on Friday (Picture: Arsenal/Getty) The final decision on Mosquera is set to be left down to Mikel Arteta. Arsenal battled injury problems at the back last season, a trend that continued over the summer which could mean any attempts to sign Mosquera will be turned away. The former Valencia star started 20 matches in all competitions last season, proving to be a dependable member of the Premier League title-winning squad. He started at centre-half in his side’s opening game of the season against Coventry last Friday, helping them keep a clean sheet in a 3-0 victory. Mosquera played his role in Arsenal’s title triumph (Picture: David Price/Arsenal FC via Getty Images) Arteta does have ample cover across his backline with Jurrien Timber, Ben White, Riccardo Calafiori, Piero Hincapie and Konsa all capable of playing in two positions with Myles Lewis-Skelly also in the mix. Saliba and Magalhaes remain the firm first-choice pairing at the back but the former is expected to be out for the opening months of the campaign as he recovers from a back injury. Timber is also still sidelined, still to return to first-team training after a groin problem he initially picked up back in March.

Following his great campaign in the 2026 World Cup, Lionel Messi received a huge rating boost in his EAFC 27 card, while Cristiano Ronaldo missed out on being on the Men's Top 27 best rated players. Lionel Messi reasserted his position as one of the elite soccer players in the world with his stellar performances during the 2026 World Cup. Those international displays earned him a major ratings upgrade in the upcoming EA FC 27, while longtime rival Cristiano Ronaldo missed out on the Men’s Top 27 overall ratings. EA Sports unveiled the list of the top 27 highest-rated men’s players on Monday, with Messi earning a prominent spot. Notably, he stands as the only Argentine representative and the sole player outside of Europe’s top five leagues (England, Spain, Germany, France, and Italy) to crack the exclusive rankings. Tied with star players like Vinicius Junior, Bruno Fernandes, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Messi garners an 89 overall card in EA FC 27. The Inter Miami star boasts attributes including 76 pace, 87 shooting, 89 passing, 90 dribbling, 33 defending, and 63 physicality. Compared to his rating in last year’s title, his pace dropped by two points while his shooting jumped by two points and his passing rose by four. His dribbling held firm at 90, his defense remained at 33, and his physical attribute took a one-point hit. This marks his second-highest base rating since joining Inter Miami, trailing only his 90-rated card in EA FC 24, and serves as the first 89-rated base card of his career. Top 10-18 rated players in EA FC27. (EA Sports) One of the most notable adjustments on his new card is his default primary position, now officially listed as a Central Attacking Midfielder (CAM). Throughout previous editions, his base item was predominantly classified as a Right Winger (RW) or occasionally a Center Forward (CF), making EA FC 27 the first game to assign him a CAM base position. Cristiano Ronaldo misses out on the Top 27 entirely Cristiano Ronaldo’s ratings have steadily drifted away from the game’s top tier since his move to Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr, beginning with an 86 overall gold card in EA FC 24. In last year’s EA FC 26, the Portuguese forward dropped to an 85 overall rating. For the new release, EA Sports revealed the Top 27 base cards spanning overall ratings from 91 down to 88. However, for another consecutive year, Ronaldo failed to secure a spot among the video game’s top-rated talent. The ratings are official.
