Lewis-Skelly re-emergence may halt midfield purchase
Arsenal's midfield is complicated. Given his homegrown status, the club had considered listening to offers for Myles Lewis-Skelly, but his excellent end to the season in his preferred central midfield position has been noted. Arsenal have also discussed the merits of a move for West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes, who is expected to leave the London club following their relegation to the Championship.

Some struggle to love Mikel Arteta’s side but they went toe-to-toe with PSG in a gruelling, high-grade contest It always seemed likely, somehow, that Arsenal’s season was going to come down to Gabriel Magalhães and a set piece. Just not, ideally, like this.Football does love a note of dramatic irony. And while Arsenal may have lost this Champions League final on penalties to Paris Saint-Germain after three brain-mangling hours of unresolved jab, smother and counter-thrust in the humid green bowl of the Puskas Arena, this was also a brilliant, high-grade, dizzyingly tense game of football.

Why aren’t Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres playing for Arsenal vs PSG in the Champions League final?
Arsenal will be without Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres in their starting lineup for the UEFA Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain. Arsenal are all set to take on Paris Saint-Germain in the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League final this Saturday at the Puskas Arena in Budapest. Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres will not be part of the starting lineup, with Mikel Arteta opting to leave both players on the bench. The Spanish coach has chosen to start Myles Lewis-Skelly in midfield, in the role Eze typically occupies, alongside Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard. As a result, the Gunners will feature a more defensive profile in that area of the pitch as they look to counter PSG’s attacking firepower. Up front, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard retain their places on the wings. At center forward, Arteta has opted for Kai Havertz, meaning Gyokeres will begin the match among the substitutes. Gyokeres’ Champions League numbers The decision to leave Viktor Gyokeres on the bench is particularly noteworthy considering he had started every Champions League knockout-stage match for Arsenal up to this point. The Swedish striker started 11 of Arsenal’s 14 matches during their run in the competition, coming off the bench once and missing the other two due to injury. 🔴 𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠𝙉𝙀𝙒𝙎 ⚪️Your Champions League final line-up.COME ON YOU GUNNERS!!— Arsenal (@Arsenal) May 30, 2026 Gyokeres is Arsenal’s second-leading scorer in this season’s Champions League campaign with five goals, trailing only Gabriel Martinelli, who has six. Kai Havertz, who will lead the line for Arsenal in Saturday’s final, appeared in just five Champions League matches because of injury issues and scored three goals. Luis Enrique sticks with his trusted lineup While Mikel Arteta made changes to Arsenal’s starting lineup that differ from the selections he had used throughout the earlier stages of the UEFA Champions League, Luis Enrique has opted to place his trust in the players who guided Paris Saint-Germain to the final. As a result, PSG’s starting XI features no major surprises compared to previous matches. The Spanish coach’s approach is clear: rely on the ball control and composure of midfielders Vitinha, Joao Neves and Fabian Ruiz, while maximizing the attacking talent of forwards Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Declan Rice reacts to Arsenal’s Premier League title win on Instagram: ‘It’s done’
Declan Rice celebrated Arsenal’s Premier League title triumph with a message to his fans on his Instagram account. Declan Rice took to Instagram to celebrate Arsenal’s first Premier League title in 22 years, clinched with one matchday still remaining in the season. The historic triumph marks the end of over two decades of heartbreak for the North London club, securing their first league crown since the legendary “Invincibles” campaign of 2003/04. The Gunners’ title confirmation hinged on a slip-up from relentless rivals Manchester City, who traveled to the Vitality Stadium. In a dramatic twist, Bournemouth handed Arsenal the ultimate favor, grinding out a gritty 1-1 draw against Pep Guardiola’s men to mathematically end City’s charge. The 27-year-old took to social media to share the euphoria with the Arsenal faithful, posting a picture from the dressing room alongside teammates Kai Havertz, Eberechi Eze, Myles Lewis-Skelly, William Saliba, and Bukayo Saka. He captioned the post with a triumphant message to the doubters: “I told you all.. it’s done”. Arsenal will now walk out at the Emirates Stadium for the final matchday of the season against Crystal Palace as official Premier League Champions, where they will finally lift the coveted trophy in front of a bouncing home crowd.
