The Arsenal supporters had put together a new song for the first Premier League match. It was not long, but precise and very apt in the 3-0 win over Coventry and Frank Lampard: “Champions of England, Champions of England…”. Still, the supporters have not forgotten that they won the Premier League title with their 71 goals (15 fewer than Liverpool the year before) and need more world-class finishers. Then the latest report about Julian Alvarez is very good news.
Viktor Gyokeres was limited in his first season at the Emirates Stadium, while Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus have had injury problems, so there is definitely room for a player like Julian Alvarez.

The Argentine has been clear since his statement during the World Cup that he wants to leave Atletico Madrid for Barcelona. This has caused the Atletico management to hiss, blocking all advances.
This theoretically opens the door for Arsenal, who have been linked with the former City player all summer, but does Arteta want a player who doesn’t want to join the Gunners? The hyperactive transfer journalist Romano gives us a description of the situation.
-Arsenal told those who were close to the deal … in case Julian decides to open the doors to Arsenal and English football. Julian does not reject Arsenal. Julian just wants to go to Barcelona. So that’s the reality. It’s not about Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, Bayern and PSG. Julian wants to go to Barcelona and this is still the player’s position, but Arsenal, after the contact they had with Atletico Madrid on Friday in London, wanted to be informed by the player side in case something changed. So Arsenal’s message is: ‘Okay, we respect that the player is very expensive, but financially you can still try to find a solution. We respect that the player wants to go to Barcelona,” but in case Julian changes his mind in the next eight days and says, “Okay, I’m going to Arsenal.” In that case, Arsenal want to get the information in order to re-enter the deal. So keep an eye on this situation,” Romano said on his YouTube channel.
This can go, Gunners!
