Arsenal transfer news: Mikel Arteta faces £68m deal deadline as Gunners boss takes new role
Mikel Arteta has strengthened his Arsenal squad over the summer but last season's Premier League runners-up could have a bit more business to come between now and September 1 Arsenal have been one of the busiest Premier League teams this summer but their spending might not be over just yet. The Gunners have an A to Z of new signings - Arrizabalaga to Zubimendi, to be precise - but there will still be two weeks of the window to go after they begin their Premier League campaign against Manchester United on Sunday. The goal is to sign a player capable ot creating from deep and playing off the left of the front three in certain circumstances. More specifically, the goal is Ebere Eze, but things might not be straightforward. Manager Mikel Arteta indicated the spending isn't over if the right opportunity arrives. However, in order to meet Crystal Palace's asking price for Eze, they might need to raise funds through sales. Nuno Tavares and Marquinhos have both left, while Thomas Partey's release has freed up significant wage budget. Fabio Vieira, Leandro Trossard and Jakub Kiwior could yet follow. There are two deadlines in place for Arsenal, though - not just September 1, when the window shuts. Here are Mirror Football 's latest lines from North London. Eze release clause deadline Arsenal only have until Friday to meet Ebere Eze's release clause at Crystal Palace. A bid of £68m would be enough to land the England star now, though Palace may yet accept a similar amount after the deadline. Moves for Fabio Vieira and Leandro Trossard are the most realistic sources of the funds for a move. Stuttgart want Vieira, with a fee of around £16m mooted, while Trossard has previously attracted interest from the Saudi Pro League. Funds could also be raised from other sources, with interest in Jakub Kiwior, Karl Hein and Oleksandr Zinchenko. The Gunners are also open to offloading Reiss Nelson, though no club has met their asking price. Arteta takes off-field role Mikel Arteta will be back in the dugout on Sunday as Arsenal kick off their league campaign. Before that, though, the Spaniard has been confirmed as brand ambassador and director of performance with sports brand Under Armour. 'The collaboration with Under Armour is the perfect opportunity for me to work with a partner committed to making young athletes better," Arteta said in a statement. 'I'm passionate about providing a platform for the next generation of players coming through in football and the top level of talent already signed with the brand demonstrates that Under Armour is too. 'We share the same mentality in always striving for more by finding new ways to innovate and disrupt the game at the top level. Our values in pursuing greatness are closely aligned and together, I'm confident we're going to achieve great things in football.' Eze told to turn down Arsenal Ebere Eze is understood to favour a move to Arsenal over joining rivals Spurs. However, former Gunners star Theo Walcott isn't convinced the move would be the right one for him. "I think the big question or the big thing we've got to look at is that it is World Cup year," Walcott said on It's Called Soccer. "As a player, if it's a World Cup year, I'm thinking, 'I'm going to play consistently for Palace this year, so if I'm Eze, for instance, my thought process: obviously Arsenal is a different kind of pressure." He suggested Eze would have different responsibilities if he moves, adding: "The good thing thing about Eze's situation is that he can play every week and he has that maverick style that he accepts making and taking those risks. I think he's a player that can take those risks at Palace. I don't think he will get that at Arsenal."

Arsenal legend Tony Adams delivers brutal verdict on Mikel Arteta - and states Gunners will NOT win the Premier League with Martin Odegaard as captain
Arsenal legend Tony Adams has urged manager Mikel Arteta to strip Martin Odegaard of the club's captaincy if they wish to win the Premier League. Arsenal have played bridesmaid in the title race for the last three seasons, falling short against Manchester City twice, and most recently Liverpool. Odegaard was made made captain ahead of the 2022-23 season, following the departures of Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. However, he is yet to bring any silverware to the Emirates. Adams, who famously led Arsenal to four league titles during his own glittering career, has identified the man he believes will drive the north London side over the line in the title race. The former Gunners captain urged Arteta to replace Odegaard with England international Declan Rice. 'He's got a really big call to make this year and for me he hasn't done it,' Adams said. 'The call is to make Declan Rice the captain. I think Declan is my kind of captain, and it might free Odegaard up to play with a bit more freedom. 'Every now and again as a manager, you have to put someone who reflects you, who reflects the football club that you think can actually take you to the next level.' When asked if he thinks Rice reflects Arteta, Adams retorted: 'I think he's better than Arteta.' Adams was then asked if Rice is a winner and if Arteta is not. The former defender answered diplomatically. 'I'm just saying he's got an opportunity this year to actually turn into a winner,' he added. 'To win league titles, you have to be a [Jurgen] Klopp, you have to be a [Sir Alex] Ferguson. You have to lead by example, you have to be a winner, you have to go about your business. And that reflects in your captain. 'And I'm seeing Declan Rice as a captain but I'm saying to Arteta: "Come on, step up now. It's your time to be a winning manager and a fantastic manager, because you're not going to win the league with Odegaard as captain.' Adams believes Rice's durability and leadership are exactly what Arsenal need to finally get their hands on the title after coming close in the last two seasons. 'You've got someone in their who's going to play every game all season, that's going to encourage people to come in and lay the foundations of a title-winning team,' he continued.

Barcelona resort to emergency measures to register Marcus Rashford as board members put personal wealth at risk
BARCELONA have taken emergency action to ensure Marcus Rashford can be registered by the club. The 27-year-old joined the Catalan giants on a season-long loan with a £26million option to buy from Manchester United last month. But just three days before they begin their LaLiga title defence begins against Mallorca, Rashford is still not registered as a Barca player. The board are now ready to take emergency financial action to solve the issue. They are currently unable to register new signings due to overspending on their salary limit. But to help balance the books, chiefs have now decided to put their own personal wealth at risk as part of a bank guarantee worth £6m. The Athletic report that the club expect all their new summer signings to be registered in time for the season. The deadline is at the end of this transfer window and any player not counted for will be banned from playing until it reopens in January. Barca signed goalkeeper Joan Garcia from rivals Espanyol and have used an injury loophole to register him. An official statement confirmed: "Barca informs that LaLiga 's independent medical panel have resolved that Marc Andre ter Stegen's injury meets the criteria of long-term injuries established in their current rulebook. 'Barca will proceed tomorrow to finalise the registration of goalkeeper Joan Garcia immediately.' Aside from Rashford, the Spanish champions still need to register Wojciech Szczesny after he penned a new contract and full-back Gerard Martin as he is now too old to count as a youth-team player. Gary Lineker gives Marcus Rashford Barcelona verdict after loan transfer from Man Utd Barca claim in their standoff with LaLiga that the sale of the new executive boxes at the revamped Nou Camp for £86.9m in December 2024 has seen them add to their salary limit. But the cash has not been approved by auditors and therefore cannot be added to the spending limit. Reports suggest Barca are hopeful the money is approved in the next few weeks.
