Happy Friday everyone. Big news in the Arsenal universe today. A very interesting sequence of events.
According to reports the Xhaka deal to Roma is dead and the club are now offering him a new contract. Is this a tool to get the fee they want from the Italian club? Is it protection for when he can be potentially sold next season? Are you horrified or happy about this news?
The good news is the club softened the Xhaka blow by announcing the marquee signing of the summer, Ben White. Fans have been crying out for the team to spend money and they’ve certainly done that! But is it enough.
