Mikel Arteta says "very powerful" Arsenal star has took him completely by surprise

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has lavished praise on a Gunners who’s done something he never expected.

Arsenal look to extend unbeaten run against Brentford

Arsenal return to the Emirates tonight seeking to rebuild momentum against Brentford following Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Chelsea, where Arteta’s side failed to capitalize on their one-man advantage despite playing almost an hour against ten men.

The north Londoners have also seen their five-point lead atop the Premier League table reduced to two after Man City’s thrilling 5-4 win away to Fulham on Tuesday, so nothing but a win will do against one of the worst away teams in the division this evening.

Arteta faces selection dilemmas ahead of Brentford’s visit, with defensive concerns persisting following the unexpected absence of both first-choice centre-backs at Stamford Bridge.

William Saliba suffered a training ground injury in the build up to Chelsea, compounding Gabriel Magalhaes’ absence and marking only the second occasion in 162 matches both defenders have missed simultaneously.

It could well be the third time in 163 matches against Brentford, with Saliba a doubt for tonight’s clash and Gabriel still weeks away from returning to the field.

Arsenal’s incredible unbeaten streak has now reached 17 matches across all competitions, yet Arteta demands improvements following the Chelsea stalemate. The Gunners managed just eight shots at Stamford Bridge – their lowest total in any Premier League fixture this season.

Leandro Trossard, who’s been in excellent form with 10 goal contributions already this term, looks set to miss the Brentford game with Havertz also suffering a setback in his recovery from a knee injury.

Mikel Arteta says Merino has took him by surprise at Arsenal

Bearing this in mind, if Arteta doesn’t start Viktor Gyokeres, then makeshift number nine Mikel Merino could well be handed another chance to impress.

The Spain international has been nothing short of extraordinary in a very unfamiliar role, scoring 20 goals this calendar year for club and country, and Arteta has now had his say on the matter.

When asked by reporters whether he thought Merino could become a striker like this, Arteta admitted the 29-year-old has taken him completely by surprise.

Merino’s equaliser ensured that Arsenal’s unbeaten streak didn’t end in west London on Sunday, and the former Newcastle star has fast become a fan favourite.

2025 has been a real year to remember for the midfielder, who was one of Edu’s final signings before his departure as sporting director late last year.

Arteta can take a lot of the credit for transforming Merino into an attacking powerhouse and having the initiative to experiment with him up front, but the versatile star has seized that opportunity with both hands.

Yuri Alberto desencanta no Brasileirão, mas ataque do Corinthians está longe de convencer

MatériaMais Notícias

O Corinthians segue em crise dentro e fora de campo. Após uma semana turbulenta, o Timão confirmou diante do Atlético-GO, nesta terça-feira (11), que seu ataque segue precisando de uma atenção especial no Brasileirão. Isso porque o time marcou apenas cinco gols em oito jogos até aqui e, apesar de ter saído da zona de rebaixamento, pode voltar ao final desta rodada.

Diante do time goiano, Yuri Alberto, artilheiro do Timão na temporada com 14 gols, desencantou na competição e marcou logo dois gols, no entanto, não foi o suficiente para vencer o time da casa, que buscou o empate nos acréscimos.

A verdade é que o ataque do Corinthians vem passando em branco em grande parte do Nacional. O time de António Oliveira marcou em apenas dois jogos: na vitória sobre o Fluminense por 3 a 0, na quarta rodada, e nesta, ao empatar por 2 a 2 com o Atlético-GO.

Além de Yuri Alberto, Wesley também marcou dois gols, enquanto Cacá balançou a rede uma vez. Ou seja, apenas quatro gols anotados por atacantes em oito rodadas, o que explica parte dos maus resultados que o Timão vem acumulando neste início de campeonato.

Após o empate fora de casa, o volante Raniele comentou o momento difícil que passa o Corinthians e acredita que é preciso valorizar o ponto conquistado contra o Dragão.

Gambhir: Sky is the limit the moment Jaiswal figures out his ODI tempo

India are looking at Rana for the No. 8 spot in ODIs, and backing Washington for his adaptability, said Gambhir

Yashasvi Jaiswal became the sixth Indian man to score a century in all three formats•Getty Images

India coach Gautam Gambhir sees big things ahead in Yashasvi Jaiswal’s career after the opener made his first ODI century on Saturday.Jaiswal is a regular in India’s Test team but has only played four ODIs. He got his chance against South Africa, with regular opener and captain Shubman Gill out injured.”In [the] one-day format, you need to know the template you want to play,” Gambhir said after India beat South Africa by nine wickets. “When you come into white-ball cricket from red-ball cricket, you think you have to bat aggressively. But you don’t need to bat aggressively in one-day cricket, because you can split it into 30 overs and 20 overs.Related

Kohli: I've not played at this level for two-three years

Harshit takes the first step in fast bowlers' race for 2027 World Cup

“If you play 30 overs like one-day cricket – and the quality that Jaiswal has, if he can bat till 30 overs – there is no doubt he will be close to a hundred. Even after that, you have 20 overs left, which you can look at as a T20 match. It is only about finding a template. This was just Jaiswal’s fourth game. The moment he figures out which tempo he needs to bat in one-day cricket, the sky is the limit.”Jaiswal batted through the innings: first in the company of Rohit Sharma, with whom he put on 155 runs, and then with Virat Kohli, with whom his second-wicket, unconquered partnership of 116 ushered India to victory. Earlier in the series, another non-regular member of the ODI squad, Ruturaj Gaikwad, stepped up to score a hundred as well. He scored it from No. 4, even though he is a specialist top-order batter.Ruturaj Gaikwad got to his maiden hundred in the second ODI•BCCI

“Someone like Rutu, who’s batted out of position… He’s a quality player, we all know. We wanted to give him an opportunity in this series because of the kind of form he was in with India A. And he actually grabbed that opportunity with both hands, getting a hundred in the second game. And when we were under pressure actually – we were 40 for 2 – and then getting that kind of a hundred was proper quality.”Both players are likely to slip out of contention though, with Gill already fit to start India’s T20I series against South Africa, and Shreyas Iyer recovering well from his spleen injury.”Look, we try and give [new players] opportunities wherever we can. Because we still want a reasonable group… probably around 20-25 players in that group before the World Cup.”But once your captain and vice-captain [Iyer in ODIs] is back, obviously they are your starters. But yes, what they [Jaiswal and Gaikwad] had to do [with their opportunities], they have done that. And hopefully whenever it is possible, we will try and give them opportunities.”And more importantly, I think they need to keep themselves motivated because they should be ready whenever they get that opportunity. “Harshit Rana has been earmarked as India’s No. 8•BCCI

India have been trying to gain depth in their ODI XI, so that they can score at a high tempo through the innings, and are looking at Harshit Rana as an option to lengthen their batting line-up.”That’s one of the reasons why we are trying to probably develop someone like Harshit, who can actually bat at 8 and contribute with a bat at No. 8. That’s how we need to find the balance, because come South Africa in two years’ time, we would be needing three proper seamers as well.”And if he can continue to develop as a bowling allrounder, it’s going to give us a massive boost. Because obviously with Jasprit Bumrah coming back, and what we saw of Arshdeep [Singh], Prasidh [Krishna] and Harshit in this series, [it] was incredible.”All these three guys do not have a lot of experience under their belts, especially in the 50-over format… They’ve hardly played less than 15 ODIs, all these three bowlers, but they’ve done a fabulous job. So I feel that if we can develop someone like Harshit at No. 8, who can contribute with the bat, I think it is going to give us the right balance as well… Let’s see. I think it’s still a long way.”India have also been using Washington Sundar in various roles in both red- and white-ball cricket. Gambhir touched on that: “I’ve always believed in white-ball cricket, batting orders are very overrated. Except the opening combination, I think it is very, very overrated. Yes, [in] Test cricket obviously you’ve got to have a fixed batting order. But again, you’re talking about someone who’s got a hundred at Manchester, you’ve got someone who’s got a fifty at Oval, who averages what, 40-plus in Test cricket.”And sometimes, you’ve got to look at the balance as well. I know it’s tough on someone like Washi, but then I think he’s done an incredible job – whether he’s batted at No. 3, he’s batted at No. 5, he’s batted at No. 7, 8. And that’s the kind of character he is, and that’s the kind of character we want in that dressing room, who are willing to do everything for the team with a smile on his face, which me as a batter knows how tough it is.”We’ve asked him to bat in Manchester at No. 5, he got a 100. We asked him the next game to bat at No. 8, he got a 50. And at Eden Gardens, he contributed at No. 3. Again, he contributed at No. 8 in Guwahati. So I feel we need characters like that, who are willing to put everything for the team. And I’m sure he’s going to continue doing that and we’ve got to keep developing him, because he’s got a massive future ahead for Indian cricket.”

بيراميدز يتهم 3 حكام بتشويه العدالة في الدوري.. ويطالب بتحقيق عاجل

قدّم نادي بيراميدز شكوى رسمية لاتحاد الكرة ضد 3 حكام مصريين متّهمًا إياهم بارتكاب أخطاء تحكيمية مؤثرة في مباراتي الفريق أمام كهرباء الإسماعيلية وبتروجيت، وما وصفه النادي بـ”الإخلال بمبدأ العدالة وتكافؤ الفرص”.

وجاء في الشكوى أن الحكم سيد منير الذي أدار مباراة بيراميدز أمام كهرباء الإسماعيلية، اتخذ سلسلة من القرارات العكسية ضد لاعبي الفريق، إلى جانب تغاضيه عن إضاعة الوقت المتكرر من جانب لاعبي الكهرباء، مما أثّر على سير اللقاء وتسبّب في اعتراضات واسعة داخل الجهاز الفني.

وأشار بيراميدز إلى أن فوزه بالمباراة لا يعني تجاهل ما حدث، مؤكدًا ضرورة محاسبة الحكم على القرارات غير المفهومة التي صاحبت اللقاء، وعدم اعتبار النتيجة سببًا لإغلاق الملف.

كما أبدى النادي اعتراضًا شديدًا على أداء الحكم محمد العتباني في مواجهة الفريق أمام بتروجت، خاصة بعد احتسابه ركلة جزاء مثيرة للجدل لصالح الفريق البترولي، رغم توصية تقنية الفيديو (VAR) بعدم احتسابها، واعتبر بيراميدز القرار خطأً حاسمًا أثّر في نتيجة المباراة.

وامتدت الشكوى إلى الحكم الرابع محمود رشدي، حيث أكد النادي أن تعامله مع المدير الفني يورشيتش كان “غير لائق”، مشيرًا إلى وقوع مناوشات بينهما وتدخله المستمر لمنع المدرب من توجيه لاعبيه داخل الملعب، مقابل مرونة أكبر وأجواء أكثر ودية في تعامله مع الجهاز الفني لبتروجيت.

وطالب بيراميدز اتحاد الكرة بفتح تحقيق عاجل في أداء الحكام الثلاثة، وتطبيق معايير المحاسبة، وضمان الاستخدام الصحيح لتقنية الفيديو، حفاظًا على نزاهة المنافسة ومنع تكرار الأخطاء التي تزايدت مؤخرًا.

Cano convive com jejum de gols no Fluminense e não marca em clássicos desde a Final do Carioca

MatériaMais Notícias

Desde a chegada de Germán Cano, em 2022, a torcida do Fluminense se acostumou a celebrar os gols da equipe tricolor fazendo o L com as mãos, em homenagem a Lorenzo e Leonela, filhos do Rei da América. A partir do momento em que o argentinochegou, foram 86 comemorações de gol que receberam a marca do artilheiro em 138 partidas. Com média de 0,62 gols por partida, a torcida campeã da América se condicionou a comemorar gols “fazendo o L” jogo sim, jogo não, e por isso vem sentindo falta da homenagem do atacante que convive com jejum de gols.

A falta de gols de Germán Cano vem afetando diretamente na capacidade do Fluminense em vencer os seus rivais do Rio de Janeiro. O último gol de Germán Cano em clássicos aconteceu na final do Carioca do ano passado, em 9 de Abril, quando o tricolor derrotou o Flamengo por 4 a 1, em épica virada que garantiu o bicampeonato. Desde então, quase um ano se passou, e o tricolor fez 12 clássicos sem conseguir a vitória nenhum deles.

Para conseguir se classificar à sua quinta final de Campeonato Carioca seguida, o Fluminense precisa repetir o feito atingido no ano passado diante do mesmo rival. Com desvantagem nos critérios de desempate da competição, o tricolor precisa vencer pelo menos por 3 a 0 caso queria seguir sonhando com o tricampeonato.

Para derrubar a vantagem conquistada pelo Flamengo no primeiro jogo, o atual campeão Carioca conta com a quebra da seca do artilheiro que convive com uma sequência de 5 jogos sem marcar. Nesse período, Germán Cano atuou em 3 clássicos com a camisa tricolor e voltou para casa com duas derrotas e um empate, resultados que não podem se repetir caso o Fluminense ainda queira ser campeão.

Fora das quatro linhas, o jogador também enfrenta dificuldades, com problemas de relacionamento com a maioria do elenco. O principal motivo desse distanciamento seria a agressão do zagueiro em Cauã Paixão, jovem de 19 anos formado nas categorias de base, em janeiro deste ano. As informações foram divulgadas pelo Ge.

No Vasco desde julho do ano passado, Medel virou o “homem de confiança” do técnico Ramón Diaz e recebeu a braçadeira de capitão. O último jogo do zagueiro pelo Cruz-Maltino foi justamente a derrota por 4 a 0 para o Cricíuma, que marcou a despedida do treinador argentino.

ENTENDA A BRIGA

No dia 31 de janeiro, o Vasco estava concentrado em Uberlândia para a partida contra o Nova Iguaçu, pela primeira fase do Campeonato Carioca. Na hora do almoço, o atacante Cauã Paixão, cria da base, entrou no elevador usando o celular e não cumprimentou Medel e o restante dos jogadores presentes.

O capitão vascaíno não gostou da atitude e agrediu o jovem com um tapa na nuca. Cauã reagiu à agressão, e os dois iniciaram uma briga no elevador. A partir do segundo tapa do chileno, o atacante se atirou na direção de Medel.

Ambos trocaram socos e precisaram ser separados pelo restante dos atletas que estavam presentes. No meio da confusão, o zagueiro chegou a morder Cauã Paixão, que foi emprestado ao América-RN cerca de um mês após o episódio.

Shades of Declan Rice: Arsenal expected to move for £80m "superstar"

There’s a strong case to be made that Arsenal are the best team in Europe right now. Certainly, the win over Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday evening underlined the credentials of Mikel Arteta’s multi-title challengers.

The Gunners have mastered their game. Some have ridiculed Arteta and his side for finishing second in the Premier League three seasons in a row, but this has only hardened their resolve and will to win, concurrently deepening the tactical layers Arteta has spent so much time developing.

This is the result of everything coming together over multiple campaigns. Hard work and perserverance. Now, Arsenal have the luxury to add elite quality to an already fearsome outfit, and technical director Andrea Berta has found his man.

Arsenal's transfer plans

After such an impressive summer transfer window, table-topping Arsenal aren’t expected to be all that busy in the January transfer window. However, the Londoners will react if the right opportunity presents itself.

Juventus playmaker Kenan Yildiz remains a long-standing target, and attacking midfield is indeed a position the Emirates outfit is likely to target in the coming windows.

However, a recent report from Caught Offside suggests Berta is gearing up to launch a move for Newcastle United full-back Tino Livramento, with the 23-year-old also attracting strong intrigue from Manchester City and Manchester United.

Livramento has been one of the Magpies’ standout players this season, and his club know it, having responded to growing interest in his name by listing him at £80m.

What Tino Livramento would offer Arsenal

Livramento has made 90 appearances for Newcastle since first arriving on Tyneside, having joined the club from Southampton in a deal rising to £40m in 2023.

Last season, he played an instrumental role in securing the Carabao Cup title, something Gunners fans might remember after his tremendous performance at the Emirates in the first leg of the semi-finals.

Tino Livramento against Arsenal.

A modern and dynamic full-back, Livramento’s positional versatility has seen him play ample on his unnatural left flank for United, with his surpassing technical quality leading Newcastle-focused content creator Kendall Rowan to hail him as a “superstar” of a prospect.

Given that Manchester City also have a vested interest, you could say that Livramento would emulate Declan Rice by completing a big-money move from a title-winning Premier League rival like Newcastle, Rice having completed his £105m transfer to north London from West Ham United in 2023, since transcending his role as a superstar.

As Arteta’s troops march their way through the campaign, indomitably, irrevocably, Rice is the most trusted lieutenant, now one of the best central midfielders in the world after several years lauded as an elite talent with room for growth.

In this way, Livramento would mimic him, completing a move to north London and rejecting Pep Guardiola on the way to the Emirates.

Moreover, the likes of Theo Walcott have praised Newcastle’s star full-back for his potential to become something even more, suggesting that his athleticism and ability to play across a range of positions make him someone akin to Gareth Bale.

Bale was a superstar, alright, and this is evidence that Livramento falls into a bracket of world-class players.

Newcastle are bound to play hardball over one of their biggest, most profitable talents, but Arsenal have shaped their stadium into quite the desirable destination, and Livramento would have the chance to emulate Rice in rising the Premier League ladder and becoming a superstar under Arteta’s wing.

Brave begin post-Edwards era with convincing win

Lauren Bell, Mady Villiers restrict Originals to 95 for 8 before Laura Wolvaardt sees visitors home

ECB Reporters Network06-Aug-2025

Lauren Bell struck to leave Manchester Originals in tatters•Getty Images

Southern Brave started life after Charlotte Edwards with a convincing win over Manchester Originals at Emirates Old Trafford.The damage was all done with the ball, as Lauren Bell took 3 for 28 and Mady Villiers 2 for 19 to limit the hosts to just 95 for 8 from their 100 balls.Seren Smale fought a lone hand for Originals on a wicket that none of her team-mates ever looked at home on, making 40 from 34 balls to give her side the faintest hope at the halfway mark but no side has ever defended fewer than 109 in the Hundred women’s competition and their total never looked like enough.And while Brave were rarely fluent, they were always comfortable – easing to a six-wicket win with 11 balls to spare. Former Originals batter Laura Wolvaardt, a direct signing for Southern Brave this season, showed her old team what they were missing with an assured and unbeaten 42.She was supported by Danni Wyatt-Hodge, who made 32, as Brave’s batting line-up eased over the line in first gear. Having endured a surprising eighth-placed finish last summer, with just one win, Brave – and their new head coach Luke Williams in particular – will have been pleased to start the campaign with a victory.For Originals it was a disappointing start to the season and, Smale’s innings aside, a day of few positives – they’ll hope to demonstrate it was mere blip next time out at the Kia Oval on Saturday.Meerkat Match Hero Bell said: “It’s great to get our first win on the board. In tournament cricket it’s really important to get a good start, and it was a good team performance.”The girls stuck in. The wicket was a bit tricky but we’ve got a great line-up and the batters did the job. We’ve had a lot of really good chats about being really confident, backing our strengths, and having fun out there.”
