Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown (Picture: Getty) Martin Keown believes Martin Odegaard is still ‘under pressure’ in an Arsenal shirt after the Gunners picked up a 3-0 win over Coventry City on Friday. The Premier League champions got their title defence underway with a flawless performance against the newly-promoted Sky Blues at the Emirates. Goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka put Arsenal in control early on before Odegaard added a third shortly after the break. The Arsenal captain, who was named player of the match, has made a fast start to the season, having opened his goalscoring account in last weekend’s Community Shield.

But Keown believes the Norwegian midfielder needs to maintain those levels, especially after an injury-hit campaign last season, in which he only started 16 league matches. ‘We need him back,’ Keown told Stan Sport at full-time. ‘He’s probably the one player who’s under more pressure than anybody else because he’s got Eze in the background and young Dowman is going to be an amazing talent. Martin Odegaard got on the scoresheet against Coventry (Picture: Getty) ‘So it’s important our captain is actually leading the way, and he was great again tonight.’ Fellow goalscorer Saka was another who dealt with injuries towards the end of last season, but looked back to his dangerous best in the opening match of this campaign. Asked about the England winger’s performance, Keown added: ‘Every time he gets the ball, he has to do damage. ‘Last season, of course, the Achilles wasn’t at his best. It looks as if he’s over those handicaps and we can see the best of him. @flemingben An ominous display from the defending champions… 😬😬 #arsenalfc #premierleague #coventry ♬ original sound – Ben Fleming: Sports Journalist ‘He’s a tremendous, very humble individual; he kind of sets the standards. ‘He’s been the key player for Arteta since he’s been at the club and in order for Arsenal to win things, he’s got to be at his best. So good news that he doesn’t have any injury concerns anymore.’ And Keown was also keen to highlight the performance of new signing Christos Tzolis, who impressed in his first league start following his £34million move from Club Brugge earlier this summer. ‘I thought he was as good as a debutant, as I’ve seen since maybe Freddie Ljungberg back in the day,’ he said. ‘I don’t want to go overboard, but everything he did, the first goal he’s involved in, he shuts the ball down. He’s involved, obviously, as well for the cross when Saka scores. ‘It was a shame Bruno wasn’t fit because, between the two of them last year, I think they had 54 goal involvements, but this kid is looking to me like a really good signing.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page.

City could maintain interest despite lack of bidMaresca expecting busy end to transfer windowManchester City did not make a £120m bid for Enzo Fernández before Chelsea’s 5pm deadline on Friday but Enzo Maresca still expects a busy end to the transfer window, as the club seek incomings and outgoings. Chelsea, meanwhile, now expect the Argentina midfielder to stay at Stamford Bridge.Maresca takes charge of City for the first time in a major match on Sunday against Arsenal in Cardiff in the Community Shield but is a long way from finalising the squad he will have for the season. Fernández, who played under Maresca at Chelsea, remains a target for City, who could still test the water despite missing the deadline. Continue reading...
Ryan Giggs is the Premier League’s mosts successful player with 13 titles (Photo: Getty) David Seaman says Arsenal have their own Ryan Giggs as he backs the ‘talented’ Gunners star to have a big season. Arsenal face Manchester City in the Community Shield on Sunday before kicking-off their Premier League title defence next Friday against Coventry City. It will be curious to see what line-up Mikel Arteta selects against the Citizens, with several key stars only returning to training in the last few days following their exploits at the World Cup. There is potential for a few youngsters to make the starting XI, including Max Dowman who is the subject of my hype and attention after a record-breaking 2025/26 season.

Dowman became the youngest player in Champions League history at just 15 years and 308 days old and later the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history and youngest Premier League champion. The teenager has already made 13 first-team appearances and is expected to play a bigger role for the Gunners this campaign having featured heavily during pre-season. ‘He’s top, he really is top,’ legendary former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman, who worked with Dowman in the Gunners academy, told talkSPORT. Max Dowman made his Arsenal debut last season aged 15 years and 235 days (Photo: Getty) ‘He came through with us and then all last season he trained with the first-team. When you see him off the pitch he looks like a 16-year-old, but when you see him on the pitch he looks like a man that’s been there for a long time with a lot of talent. ‘I remember Bryan Robson telling me about Ryan Giggs when he was young and coming through. In Max – so long as he can stay away from injuries – we’ve got somebody that’s just as good as that.’ The Premier League’s most successful player, Giggs won 13 top-flight titles with Manchester United, as well two Champions Leagues and four FA Cups, across a remarkable 23-year career. Dowman is the youngest ever Premier League champion and goalscorer (Photo: Getty) That’s a lot to live up to, but the future does seem very bright for Arsenal thanks to the emergence of Dowman and fellow academy graduates Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri. But there is speculation that the latter could be leaving the Emirates before deadline day, with reports claiming that Arsenal have offered Lewis-Skelly to Manchester United and Chelsea. Seaman cannot believe that is true however and in any case is certain that the midfielder would not want to leave, adding: ‘I don’t think he wants to go. Reports suggest Arsenal are open to selling Myles Lewis-Skelly (Photo: Getty) ‘You see how much passion he’s got for the club. He’s been at the club since he was eight, he’s a boyhood fan. Nobody wants to see him leave. ‘I’ve been coaching at Arsenal now for about four or five years with the under 18s and under 21s and I remember watching him coming through the ranks with Nwaneri and Max Dowman. ‘Watching these guys train and then in the restaurant afterwards, they got their school uniform on because they went back to school! It was just so strange! ‘So, they’ve been at the club for a long, long time and I still think Mikel’s got a lot of trust in him. Obviously, he has because he put him in the Champions League final. ‘It was a massive game for us and he trusted him then and he was probably the best player for Arsenal.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page.
