A list of Arsenal's transfer targets for the summer window has been published - revealing a number of surprise failed moves, including for Chelsea striker Joao Pedro.
Chelsea may have beaten Arsenal to the signing of Morgan Rogers this summer, but they arguably got a more important deal done in last year’s window. That signing is Joao Pedro, who has proven an absolute bargain at a time when less successful transfers were being conducted for much higher prices. After an impressive 25 […] The post Forget Morgan Rogers…missing out on this £60m Chelsea star is Arsenal’s biggest mistake – opinion appeared first on CaughtOffside.
Former Arsenal striker Alan Smith (Picture: Getty) Alan Smith fears Mikel Arteta and Arsenal made a major mistake with one piece of business in the summer transfer window. Having won their first Premier League title in 22 years, the Gunners did not rest on their laurels over the summer transfer window, spending almost £200million on five new signings. Piero Hincapie’s move from Bayer Leverkusen was made permanent, with Ezri Konsa arriving from Aston Villa to add more depth across the defensive line. Illan Meslier arrived as a third-choice goalkeeper from Leeds United, while Bruno Guimaraes and Christos Tzolis were also signed from Newcastle United and Club Brugge, respectively.

Arsenal had been keen to strengthen further on the left wing, but fell short in their pursuit of Morgan Rogers and Vinicius Junior. And with that in mind, Smith believes the club should not have been so hasty to let go of Leandro Trossard, who joined Besiktas for a measly £17m fee earlier in the summer. ‘Time will tell, but Trossard, on paper, is more of a loss,’ Smith told Metro via BestBettingSites.co.uk. Leandro Trossard was sold to Besiktas (Picture: Getty) ‘He performed in big games, and he chipped in with goals in big games, so that’s hard to explain. ‘Whether Tzolis does that is another story altogether, but that’s asking a lot. ‘But they’ve let Martinelli go, Trossard go, Jesus go; they’ve lost three forward players and just brought in Tzolis, really. ‘So from that point of view, one or two question marks, definitely.’ Speaking before the season, the former Gunners striker tipped Manchester City as Arsenal’s closest challengers for the league title. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta (Picture: Getty) And Smith believes City could prove an even tougher challenge than he expected after watching Enzo Maresca’s side win their first two games against Bournemouth and Crystal Palace. ‘The phrase in the weeks leading up to the season has been that it’s Arsenal’s to lose,’ Smith added. ‘I don’t see it like that now. ‘I did Man City at Crystal Palace last Friday, and even then, before they’d made the signings, I thought, oh, they’re going to be challengers. Manchester City’s new signing Enzo Fernandez (Picture: Manchester City FC) ‘And I think they’ll be even stronger challengers now. Splashed the cash, some good signings. ‘Obviously, Enzo Fernandez being the last one there. I think they’ll be feeling really bullish about things, City.’ Chelsea are another team being talked up as potential title challengers for Arsenal, but Smith can’t see Xabi Alonso’s side staying the course despite the impressive late signing of Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa. ‘It makes them better by some margin, I would say, not only what he can give them in terms of commanding his box, but the confidence it will give his defenders and team in general,’ he said. ‘He is a world-class keeper, and he’s a big personality. As for a title challenge, I do see them just being off it at the moment. ‘I might be proved wrong. Who can say what’s going to happen with injuries over the course of the season? ‘If they keep Palmer, Rogers and João Pedro together, it gives them a great chance. But yeah, they’re in a much better position now.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page. Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Peter Crouch is confident Chelsea can beat Arsenal at the Emirates (Picture: That Peter Crouch Podcast) Ex-England striker Peter Crouch has backed Chelsea to get the better of Arsenal and throw a ‘cat amongst the pigeons’ in the Premier League this weekend. Arsenal got their title defence off to a flying start by sweeping aside newly promoted Coventry in their opening match of the campaign. Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard were the scorers in a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Frank Lampard’s men, a result that came as a statement of intent to the rest of the division. The Gunners followed this up with a gritty 1-0 win away to Aston Villa on Monday night, with Saka scoring his second of the season to ensure Mikel Arteta’s men emerged with maximum points.

On Sunday afternoon, all eyes will be on the Emirates for what promises to be an intriguing London derby between the reigning champions and a resurgent Chelsea team. Like Arsenal, Chelsea have taken six points from a possible six, with Xabi Alonso’s all-star attack of Cole Palmer, Joao Pedro and Morgan Rogers firing on all cylinders at this embryonic stage of the season. However, the Blues remain vulnerable at the back and have managed to concede five goals in their two opening top-flight contests versus Fulham and Brighton. Arsenal continued their winning start with a 1-0 victory at Villa Park (Picture: Getty The Gunners are yet to concede a goal this season (Picture: Getty) ‘Great game! Two teams looking good as well,’ Crouch said on That Peter Crouch Podcast while previewing the clash. ‘Joao Pedro, for me, I love watching him play football. He’s a player that enjoys his football and he just looks like he enjoys his football. ‘I’ve been thinking this since the first game against Fulham, I think he’ll get goals this season. I just think he’ll score goals. ‘Pedro Neto looks sharp, creative. They’ve got some creative players in that team.’ {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Arteta praises Arsenal's maturity in 1-0 win over Aston Villa","contentUrl":"https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2026\/09\/01\/1030376710448723935\/480x270_MP4_1030376710448723935.mp4","description":"Arteta also stressed the importance of squad depth after Konsa was substituted on for his debut for a Mosquera struggling with an injury.","duration":"T4M26S","height":270,"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i.dailymail.com\/1s\/2026\/09\/01\/07\/110968591-0-image-a-1_1788244180392.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-09-01T07:29:49+0100","width":480} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page window.addEventListener('metroVideo:relatedVideosCarouselLoaded', function(data) { if (typeof(data.detail) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel.el_) === 'undefined') { return; } var player = data.detail.carousel.el_; var container = player.closest('.metro-video-player'); var placeholder = container.querySelector('.metro-video-player__up-next-placeholder'); if (placeholder) { container.removeChild(placeholder); container.classList.add('metro-video-player--related-videos-loaded'); } }); Chelsea have looked to bring some stability at the back by capturing Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez as a replacement for the error-prone Robert Sanchez. But Crouch believes the Argentine’s arrival alone may not be enough to stop the Blues shipping goals against Arsenal. ‘The only problem here [for Chelsea] is defensively, I think Chelsea will concede,’ the former Liverpool and Tottenham forward added.

Bukayo Saka scored Arsenal’s wining goal against Aston Villa (Picture: Sky Sports) Bukayo Saka has warned Chelsea they are set for an acid test of their title credentials when they face the champions on Sunday. Following another summer of seismic spending, the Blues have put together a formidable looking squad that appears to be on the right road under the management of Xabi Alonso. A formidable front three of Joao Pedro, Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers, who had the chance to join Arsenal in the summer, have struck up an immediate understanding and that trio has contirbuted five of Chelsea’s seven Premier League goals already this season. Defensively, however, Alonso’s new-look side are still a work in progress, despite the addition of a new No.1 goalkeeper in Emiliano Martinez.

The Argentina international conceded three times on his debut against Brighton on Sunday and will no doubt face a stiff examination against his former side this weekend in the first summit meeting of the new campaign. Arsenal, meanwhile, have picked up where they left off last term and made it two wins from two last night with a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Aston Villa. Saka’s goal, which arrived just before the hour mark, proved to be the difference between the two sides as the Gunners kept their sixth clean sheet in their last seven Premier League games.

Asked if he’d paid attention to the start Arsenal’s London rivals have made to the new campaign, Saka gave a wry smile before saying: ‘Yeah, I’ve seen them.’ Pressed on what he had made of the wins over Fulham and the Seagulls, he added: ‘We’ll see on Sunday.’ Bukayo Saka scored Arsenal’s goal just before the hour mark (Picture: Getty) {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Arteta praises Arsenal's maturity in 1-0 win over Aston Villa","contentUrl":"https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2026\/09\/01\/1030376710448723935\/480x270_MP4_1030376710448723935.mp4","description":"Arteta also stressed the importance of squad depth after Konsa was substituted on for his debut for a Mosquera struggling with an injury.","duration":"T4M26S","height":270,"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i.dailymail.com\/1s\/2026\/09\/01\/07\/110968591-0-image-a-1_1788244180392.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-09-01T07:29:49+0100","width":480} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page window.addEventListener('metroVideo:relatedVideosCarouselLoaded', function(data) { if (typeof(data.detail) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel.el_) === 'undefined') { return; } var player = data.detail.carousel.el_; var container = player.closest('.metro-video-player'); var placeholder = container.querySelector('.metro-video-player__up-next-placeholder'); if (placeholder) { container.removeChild(placeholder); container.classList.add('metro-video-player--related-videos-loaded'); } }); Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, meanwhile, isn’t yet ready to buy into the Chelsea hype and hinted Manchester City should not be discounted from challenging for the title, despite the overhaul at the Etihad. ‘The two teams won both of their games and you want to see a bit of a clash of styles,’ Henry told Sky Sports. ‘At the moment with the way Chelsea is going about how they play you can see Chelsea maybe being able to hit Arsenal on the break. ‘But if they do defend as they did leaving an amount of space in midfield and on the side they will strug
Following Joao Pedro's antics against Brighton, Daily Mail Sport reporters offer their views here on whether players should celebrate against their former clubs or show more respect.
John Terry has urged caution ahead of Chelsea’s game against Arsenal next weekend (Picture: John Terry YouTube) John Terry hopes Xabi Alonso uses his time on the training pitch wisely this week after another patchy defensive display against Brighton. The Blues continued their 100% start to the new season with a thrilling 4-3 victory over the Seagulls. Chelsea’s star studded attack again offered a tantalising glimpse of the threat they will offer over the course of the next nine months. Cole Palmer looks somewhere near back to his best and has struck up an instant rapport with Morgan Rogers, while Joao Pedro finally appears to have ended the club’s search for a dependable No.9.

At the other end, however, the defensive frailty that has plagued Chelsea over the past couple of seasons was again in evidence, despite the presence of new goalkeeper Emi Martinez who was making his debut following a move from Aston Villa. With five goals conceded in two matches, Terry acknowledges that level of defensive generosity is unsustainable and improvements are required ahead of Sunday’s meeting with title rivals Arsenal. The former Chelsea captain told his YouTube channel: ‘As good as the attacking play was I think we have to look at the defence and I’m sure the manager will in the next few days. Emi Martinez conceded three goals on his Chelsea debut (Picture: Getty) ‘Five goals conceded in two games not good enough really, I think we need to tighten that up for sure and I think that will happen for sure with Martinez coming in. ‘Again, when the manager has got time and space to work within these weeks I’m sure this is something he’s going to look to improve. ‘Also, as a back three or four, whatever it may be, a back five at times, he hasn’t really had much time with players away at the World Cup. ‘I’m sure the manager is really going to look to get into those defensive sessions and how we can improve. {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Alonso doesn't want to talk about the Chelsea goalkeeper situation until he's addressed the players","contentUrl":"https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2026\/08\/28\/5973446237838490050\/480x270_MP4_5973446237838490050.mp4","description":"Will Sanchez be starting in goal when Chelsea play Brighton at the weekend?","duration":"T9M43S","height":270,"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i.dailymail.com\/1s\/2026\/08\/28\/14\/110908679-0-image-a-1_1787922258551.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-08-28T14:09:11+0100","width":480} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page window.addEventListener('metroVideo:relatedVideosCarouselLoaded', function(data) { if (typeof(data.detail) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel.el_) === 'undefined') { return; } var player = data.detail.carousel.el_; var container = player.closest('.metro-video-player'); var placeholder = container.querySelector('.metro-video-player__up-next-placeholder'); if (placeholder) { container.removeChild(placeholder); container.classList.add('metro-video-player--related-videos-loaded'); } }); ‘We have a big game coming up away to the champions Arsenal, that’s going to be a big game and a huge test. ‘The manager has got time and space within those five days to work on us defensively because they’ve shown last year and early this year they’ve got goals in their team and they’re a very good side. ‘They’re big favourites for the Premier League for me Arsenal so it’s going to be a tough game.’ Robert Sanchez, whose blunders in Monday’s win over Fulham prompted the club to go after Martinez, was not in squad, with his future at the club now in serious doubt.
