Leandro Trossard remains a key squad figure but could still depart with strong interest from Galatasaray.
Manager Mikel Arteta weighs his options with an attacking headache awaiting against Manchester United.
Martin Zubimendi signals Arsenal's intent with confidence ahead of the new campaign.
Max Dowman, a 15-year-old Arsenal sensation, looks set to feature more this season.

Fresh off a strong if mixed pre-season, Arteta gears up for an exciting campaign opener against Manchester United.

Transfer Watch

Arsenal are reportedly neck-and-neck with Tottenham Hotspur to secure the signing of Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze. Despite Eze's expressed interest in a move to North London, a potential delay in Arsenal's bid has allowed Tottenham to swoop in with a sizeable offer. The 27-year-old's release clause of £68 million looms large, set to expire on Friday. Arsenal's transfer strategy remains to bring in Eze, or perhaps another versatile winger, once outgoings are confirmed.

Meanwhile, Arsenal face competition for Eze from Tottenham Hotspur, who are pressing ahead with their interest. Arteta, content with his recent signings, seems determined to clinch a versatile addition to complete a summer spree.

Injury News

Leandro Trossard, suffering a minor groin strain, is hopeful of being fit in time for the Manchester United clash this week. While there's anticipation over his fitness, his future at Arsenal is somewhat up in the air with Galatasaray bidding for his services. Arsenal might consider offloading the Belgian, priced at approximately £20 million, should a right offer materialise, particularly if it reinforces Arteta's plans to adapt dynamically this season.

Squad Insight

Arsenal's pre-season has cast a spotlight on their new arrivals with Martin Zubimendi shining in midfield and Viktor Gyökeres poised to lead the attack. Zubimendi, who confidently stated "the best is yet to come," has infused much-needed progressive ball-carrying in the deep midfield, giving Arteta tactical flexibility and depth. Teen sensation Max Dowman also appears tuned for first-team opportunities following impressive pre-season outings, boosting the squad’s youthful dynamism.

Tactical Notes

Arteta's Arsenal have visually improved their fluidity with new recruits like Zubimendi, Riccardo Calafiori, and Gyökeres fitting into the system. As the Emirates hosts its first Premier League fixture against Leeds United later this month, tactical adaptability will be key in Arsenal’s tough opening run which includes fixtures against Manchester United and Liverpool.

Quick mentions

Gabriel Jesus remains out until Autumn, recovering from knee surgery.
Jakub Kiwior is linked with a move to Crystal Palace as they prepare for Marc Guehi's departure.
Rosa Kafaji has joined Brighton on loan for the new season to gain regular first-team football.
Prospective wonderkid Max Dowman could see increased first-team involvement this campaign.
Predictions ahead of Arsenal’s opener against Manchester United suggest a tightly contested affair.
