“Since leaving us, this guy has scored 60-goal+ in just few matches, I regret selling him and we’re ready to do everything to bring him back to the club”: Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke has named ONE Arsenal academy player he regrets selling last summer as he has initiated the process of bringing him back to the club
Biereth is the top scorer in Europe’s top five leagues this calendar year and has matched a 70-year-old record in France for scoring three hat-tricks in his first seven league games.
Notably, the striker is only one goal behind the total Folarin Balogun has managed in 24 matches for Monaco.
football.london says: Hindsight is always 20/20, but Biereth would, at the very least, be in the Arsenal squad right now if the player had remained at the club this summer. Aside from whether he would be playing, the price they cashed in at was seemingly way too low, in contrast to Balogun.
Torres to Arsenal?
Mikel Arteta reportedly believes Ferran Torres would be the ideal piece to add to the Arsenal attack. According to Fichajes, the Gunners and Tottenham Hotspur are fighting to sign the former Manchester City forward.
football.london says: Arteta worked with the Spain international at Man City, so he will know better than most how Ferran Torres could fit back in the Premier League. However, the players Arteta has signed after working with previously – Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Raheem Sterling – have hardly been tremendous success stories in north London, so much so they could all conceivably move on this summer.
Alexander Isak Newcastle gamble as Arsenal and Liverpool hear ‘special’ message.
Newcastle have slapped a £150m price tag on Isak’s head and also said they won’t look to cash in even if they don’t make the Champions League at the end of the season.
Brighton, meanwhile, have bounced back from their 7-0 humiliation at Nottingham Forest by winning four consecutive games. Tuesday’s home victory against Bournemouth lifted them to eighth in the Premier League, just three points off a potential Champions League spot.
Hurzeler said: “For sure when you win four games in a row there’s a lot of positivity in the building and a great atmosphere.
“In general I always try to say that we want to stay stable and particular in our behaviour and work ethic, because you can’t get too euphoric when you have a great run or too depressed when you don’t get the results you need.
“At the moment we have the results that we want, and it’s important to understand now why the results came and why we are in this situation. We have to continue these things so don’t do less, invest even more to keep the momentum. This will be our job now and then I’m sure we can continue this run.”
