Arsenal make decision on seven exits as Mikel Arteta steps up summer rebuild
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is eager to land some blockbuster signings in the summer transfer window to help the Gunners kick on next season but several stars will also be leaving Arsenal are not planning to sell Gabriel Martinelli or Leandro Trossard this summer as things stand - but five fringe players are expected to be moved on before the transfer window closes. The Gunners have big plans this summer after finishing second in the Premier League for a third consecutive year and strengthening in attack is a priority. The club are searching for a new No.9 and an elite-level left winger, with further additions in midfield also planned. Talk that Arsenal are looking for new faces in attack has, in turn, sparked speculation over some of Mikel Arteta 's current players. The Mail, however, have outlined that Martinelli and Trossard - two of the players in question - are not up for sale and that Arsenal would like them to stay beyond the transfer window. It's explained that Martinelli would compete with a new left winger, potentially Rodrygo of Real Madrid, rather than being sold to raise funds for more big deals. And Trossard, a player capable of playing in a variety of attacking positions, is also still in Arteta's plans and is even in talks to extend his contract until 2029. But while they are seemingly safe from the chop, a handful of other first-team stars are available for transfer including Fabio Vieira, who will return to Arsenal after spending the 2024-25 campaign on loan with his former club, FC Porto. It emerged last week that they will not be pursuing a permanent deal for a player who flourished for them in the Portuguese Primeira Liga previously. Join the debate! What transfer business do you think Arsenal need to do this summer? Let us know here Other players who could depart Arsenal this summer include Reiss Nelson and Oleksandr Zinchenko, both of whom earn in excess of £100,000-a-week according to the same report. Both players have been linked with Fulham while Zinchenko is also understood to have suitors in Europe. Albert Sambi Lokonga and Jakub Kiwior are the other two stars mentioned as potential outgoings - even though Kiwior impressed during the back end of last season. The Poland international is likely to find himself further down the pecking order, though, if Arsenal are successful in their pursuit of the Valencia defender, Cristhian Mosquera.

Winger Robbie Mahon on cloud nine after sealing Edinburgh City move
Robbie Mahon is gearing up for a big season with Edinburgh City. Picture: Tommy Lee "It's unreal to be back" is how Edinburgh City winger Robbie Mahon described his return to the ambitious League Two outfit.

The Republic of Ireland youngster had a brief spell on loan at the club from Motherwell in 2023 before returning to his homeland with Irish First Division side, Dundalk. However, the 22-year-old has now made the permanent move to the Capital with City and is ready to embrace the challenge set by manager Michael McIndoe of winning the league. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The Citizens were beaten in the promotional play-offs last season by East Fife, who went on to secure promotion to Scottish football's third tier. "I know it's a good move because I know what I'm getting on and off the pitch when it comes to support from the club and the gaffer," Mahon told the Evening News. "I loved my time here previously so I'm really excited. Things are going really well. The academy is doing great and we are a squad that truly believes we can win the league this season, which really helps. "The talent we have is special for a League Two side. We're all on the same page and understand the demands the gaffer puts on us. There's no point having a goal to be in the play-offs, you want to win the league. We have that belief and that's the bare minimum we're aiming for. The club came close last year so we have to do better." Mahon signed for the Steelmen as an 18-year-old in 2022 and made one appearance before joining both City and Dunfermline on loan. The Dublin-born star admits he loved his previous time in Scotland and was always keen to try his luck again. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad "When I first came over, I was just a young lad at Motherwell and you were always around lads who were technically brilliant, fit and just the whole package really," he explained. "It was a shock at the start as I'd come from part-time. So, I know more about Scottish football and once the season gets underway, I'll have played in every league apart from the Championship. I love the game here with the cup games you find yourselves in and there's a lot of opportunities to impress at different levels, so I think it's a good outlet for young players. "I finished with Dundalk in November and then had a little spell from January until the end of the season in Northern Ireland. It was a long season, but I always knew that coming here was a possibility, so I wanted to keep myself ticking over. "I spoke with the gaffer in January but it didn't happen then. We agreed we'd see where we were in the summer so when the chance came it was a no-brainer. The gaffer knows what I can do so it's about finding that balance of playing freely and working as hard as you can. "Pre-season has been tough. We've been down to the beach but there's been a lot of camaraderie between the guys. We got a great result (3-2) against Falkirk last weekend. I know everyone will say 'oh it was just a pre-season friendly', but you can only beat what's in front of you. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad "Ultimately, you want to win these games, too. Falkirk are a very good side and they gave us a real tough test, but it was really pleasing to see when they had more of the ball, the lads were more than happy to dig deep for each other." *Edinburgh City begin their Premier Sports Cup Group B campaign against Partick Thistle at Meadowbank next Friday, July 11. Kick-off is 7.45pm.*

Motherwell fans need to lose 'get rid' urges amid new style
Ok, I admit it. When Calum Ward was dribbling the ball out from the back the other day and trying to thread passes on the edge of his 18-yarder as if he was Franz Beckenbauer in his pomp (he isn't) my heart was in my mouth just a little. I don't know if it's a reflexively Scottish thing to immediately get the heebie jeebies when your team tries something as 'continental' and 'woke' as playing the ball out from the back, but watching the Motherwell players trying to execute the philosophy of Jens Berthel Askou for the first time, even in a pre-season kickabout, seemingly sparked a dose of the vapours among a good chunk of the support. One can only imagine how many of the Fir Park punters would react if the team attempts this on the opening day of the league campaign against Rangers. Though, we don't really need to imagine it at all, because we can simply recall the reaction when Jim Gannon and then Graham Alexander initially tried it during their own tenures as manager. (Image: Craig Foy - SNS Group) With the greatest of respect to the likes of club legend Stephen Craigan and then later on, cult hero Bevis Mugabi, they didn't look altogether comfortable with the notion, to say the least. And as for the fans? Well, the good folk from St John's better be on alert for a sharp increase in medical incidents just above the dugouts. Read more: These managers soon ripped up Plan A, and tailored their style to suit the tools with which they were working. And after the friendly defeat to FC Twente, many speculated online that Berthel Askou would soon come to a similar realisation that his players just weren't good enough to pull this sort of thing off. That a modern, progressive style just isn't for the likes of us. But here's the thing. I'm not sure he will. Granted, he might not have his keeper playing quite so high up the pitch at times, and he clearly doesn't intend him to be on the ball quite as often as he was in the midweek game. Much of that was caused by the players ahead of the defence not quite executing the sort of movement he wants from them, by the by, hence the frequent shouts accusing them of 'hiding' from the dugout. There will be tweaks to what we saw against Twente when the competitive stuff gets underway, for sure, but when Berthel Askou arrived, his pitch was that a more 'dynamic' and 'aggressive' approach with 'more dimensions' was vital to the success of his team. Having met him, he doesn't seem the type to be swayed from that belief by groans from the crowd and people imploring him 'to get the ball up the f****** park'. Let's not forget, this is what a large section of the fanbase (me included) wanted. An end to years of predominantly long hoofs, 50/50s, and scrapping for second balls. Entertaining and enterprising football. Players taking the ball under pressure and being comfortable on it. High pressing, high intensity. And yes, a little higher risk. There were glimpses of it under Michael Wimmer, and now it seems from early impressions that Berthel Askou is going to crank that up another notch. (Image: GordonTerris/Herald&Times) He has time to bring in players more suited to such a game model, but there were signs on Tuesday that even with the current group, this can work. When it came off, and when Motherwell broke the Twente press, they created opportunities. A proper balance will have to be found. There's nothing wrong with going long when the occasion demands it, and as some of the pitches deteriorate towards the winter, those occasions will increase. I can understand the reticence from some to embrace this sort of style. In a division where the margins are razor thin, increasing the risk around your own area seems counter-intuitive. But the rewards could be great. Brendan Rodgers picked up on this theme a couple of years ago. Ok, he has far better players at his disposal than Motherwell do, but when discussing taking his Celtic side into the Champions League, he hit back at those who criticised him for playing out against teams better than his own. "People don't pick up on the balls that get smashed up the pitch that come right back at you and it ends up in a goal,' Rodgers said. 'No-one ever talks about that. But the minute a short build-up leads to a goal? 'I guarantee the stats are greater for mistakes in the long ball build-up. Any top team in the world will build from the back. If you make a mistake, you can't kill your goalkeeper. It's about decision making.' This isn't Berthel Askou reinventing the wheel, here, after all. Teams around Europe have been doing this for years. And the players, no matter what you may think about some of them and their technical limitations, are capable of controlling the ball and passing it 10 or 15 yards. It all boils down to their decision-making, and with more practice and repetition, that will get better. But it will also take patience from the crowd. If we want to move away from the drudgery of the past and towards a more sophisticated and entertaining brand of football, we have to give Berthel Askou a chance to implement it. Therefore, I am hereby banning myself from uttering the words 'get rid!' in the early stages of the season, and I politely suggest you do the same. Even if we all know that little voice inside of us, who wants us to play it safe and to pretend it's still 1987, will be screaming at us to do so. Even if one hand is over my eyes, I'll be keeping the other one over my gub.
