Jack Wilshere looks ahead to the start of the new season and declaring himself on track to full fitness

30th July 2013 By ArsenalSupremo


England and Arsenal star Jack Wilshere insists he is almost fully fit ahead of the new season and is raring to go.

Jack told the Arsenal website after the tour of Asia: "I felt better and better every game. It's difficult with the conditions. You struggle to catch your breath.

"The performances have got better every game and the opposition have got harder every game so it's good preparation. We've got the Emirates Cup coming up now and then Manchester City and then the season starts so we're going to be flying.

"I'm probably 80% fit. We've got a couple more tests and then we'll be ready."

Wilshere also highlighted the promise of England U19 internationals Chuks Aneke and Chuba Akpom, who were on the senior tour.

He said: "I remember when I was their age. It's good to come away and get used to being around the first team and learning from the manager, who is good at bringing young players through and breaking them in slowly.

"They've done well and hopefully they can get in the Emirates Cup squad and really show the home crowd what they can do."

Jack Wilshere excited at the prospect of big summer signings at Arsenal

18th July 2013 By ArsenalSupremo


Even though Arsenal have yet to spend big in the summer transfer window, Jack Wilshere is still excited at the prospect of big summer arrivals coming to the Emirates.

As quoted on the Sky Sports website, he said: “Everyone at the training ground has been talking about big-name signings,” he told reporters.

“It would give us all such a massive lift. Not just the players but the staff and everybody connected to Arsenal.

“Everything has changed at the other top-four clubs. Alex Ferguson has gone, Chelsea and City have new managers so we have to set our targets high.

The Arsenal British Core Unveil the New Away Kit!

10th July 2013 By Gordon @Arsenal_Supremo


The Arsenal British Core, Carl Jenkinson, Kieran Gibbs, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Theo Walcott and Jack Wilshere was at the Emirates Stadium to unveil the Gunners new away kit for the new season. The kit will be used first when the club goes onto to their Asia Tour.

The Gunners home kit will stay the same with some slight adjustments which means this is the last year Nike will provide kits for Arsenal with their current deal runs out in one years time paving the way for Arsenal to seal a deal with Puma from next season.

Lukas Podolski believes Arsenal can take advantage from so many managerial changes to challenge for the title.

7th July 2013 By Gordon @Arsenal_Supremo


Lukas Podolski believes Arsenal can mount a challenge for the Premier League title in the new season with so many managerial changes to the Gunners rivals. Podolski scored 11 times and also weighed in with 10 assists in 2012/13, putting him in the Premier League's top 10 performers in terms of goal contributions.

"The hope is that this season Arsenal will be at the top of the league. English football, thankfully, is not like Spain where you only have two teams - Barcelona and Real Madrid - who fight at the top,"

"In the Premier League, you have five, six, even seven top, top teams. It's very difficult but I know that Arsenal are one of those top teams who will be involved

"You don't know how the season will work out. A few of the other teams all have new managers, so it's difficult to say.

"But they will be strong and equally, Arsenal will be strong." said the 28-year-old in The Sun.

Podolski will be back in Pre Season training on Monday after being allowed to take a extended break due to Podolski's Germany's friendlies in late May and early June.

"It will be good to be back in training and I feel fit," he added. "This is a very important time of the year."This will be my first tour with Arsenal and I'm really looking forward to it. I hope Arsenal can have a good pre-season and, hopefully, all of us can be injury free. It's good to have Jack Wilshere back but we need all our players to be available.

"Last season was a good season for me. I scored a lot of goals and made a lot of assists so I was happy.

"I came from a small team like Cologne so it wasn't easy but, hopefully, this year will be better."

Arsenal announce their first signing of the summer with the free transfer of Yaya Sanogo

3rd July 2013 By ArsenalSupremo


First day of the officially opening of the transfer window Arsenal have announced their first signing with the free transfer of 20 year old Yaya Sanogo from Auxerre. The Gunners boss Arsene Wenger said of the transfer.

“Sanogo is a good young signing for us. He has shown that he has potential with his recent performances for Auxerre and also for the France Under-20 side. We are looking forward to Yaya joining us and continuing his promising development.”

Not the big first singing the Arsenal fans were looking for but hopefully this will be just the first of many with the Gunners reportedly on the brink of bringing in Gonzalo Higuain from Real Madrid for a fee around £22 million.  

Gonzalo Higuain's agent admits to Arsenal transfer being almost complete

27th June 2013 By ArsenalSupremo


Gonzalo Higuain agent/brother claims that a deal to take him to the Emirates is almost done as the striker is looking to leave Real Madrid for a new challenge.

The striker's brother Nicolas Higuain told Italian website www.tuttomercatoweb.com: 'If Tevez joins Juve, is Higuain closer to Arsenal? I think so.

'Juventus is a great club, but Gonzalo is too expensive for them.

'Napoli are a strong team. Having said that, I cannot deny that Gonzalo is now close to Arsenal.'

Yesterday Tevez did complete his move to Juventus which now means that the deal for Higuain is one step closer to being complete. So this could be the huge news for Arsenal and a great way to start off the summer for the Gunners and could pave the way for more big money transfers in which Fellani has been heavily linked to the Arsenal in recent weeks.

John Hartson : Arsenal should sign Wayne Rooney

21st June 2013 By ArsenalSupremo


Former Arsenal player John Hartson believes that the Gunners should do their up most to sign Manchester United's Wayne Rooney.

"I think Rooney would be a fantastic signing," the Welshman told Goal. "He's actually coming into his prime.

"He's only about 27, 28 and you don't play your best football until this stage of your career so, in terms of his experience and everything he's done at Manchester United, I think he would be a brilliant signing and Arsenal fans would welcome him into the side."

"I think you will see Rooney take up a deeper role because of his experience and when he drops into that little hole behind the striker, he gives the centre-backs a real problem because he needs to be marked, and you couldn't let a player like him come in on the half-turn and face your back four because he will just cause riots in there.

"He can pick people out, he can slide balls through, break the centre backs by getting between the lines and by playing balls over the top.

"He has unbelievable individual ability and if they can find the right position for him, he'd be brilliant. Ryan Giggs and Roy Keane both dropped into deeper roles as they got older and wiser.

"Arsenal fans are used to players like Rooney. They've had Dennis Bergkamp, Liam Brady, Anders Limpar, they've had great ball players over the years and Rooney would be a magic signing, I'm a big fan of his.

"So, for me, I would just break the bank and go and get Rooney if United will let him go."


Harton wants Arsenal to finally  end the eight years without a trophy :

"The only thing that is letting them down right now is the fact they haven't won a major trophy for six or seven seasons which is disappointing.

"They've come close, they've hit the post if you like, they've lost in cup finals and when you talk about Arsenal, you're so used to talking about them winning things but they've not won anything.

"They've qualified for the Champions League, which is a great achievement for many years now on the spin so Wenger deserves huge credit for that but they're still a massive club and, in my opinion, they will have no problem attracting world-class players."

Ian Wright believes that Arsenal will struggle to compete in the transfer market against the top teams

20th June 2013 By ArsenalSupremo

Higuain is a 22 million pound target for Arsenal

Ian Wright beleives that Arsenal will stuggle to compete in the transfer market against the top teams below you will find out what he had to say on the matter.

“Arsene Wenger’s future at the club is secure, because he has done so much for the club since he got there," said Wright, who was speaking at a charity event at the Marina Bay Sands resort in Singapore.

“I feel that the quality of signings over the past few years is the reason why they haven’t won anything in eight years.

“They have to sign players with the right qualities, but they are going into a team to help young players who are coming through.

“I think it’s going to be harder for Arsenal because Manchester United has a new manager, and so do Chelsea," he warned.

"Manchester City have a point to prove, and even Tottenham are coming through. It’s going to be hard to try to attract the kind of players that’s not going to want to go to those other clubs."

Mirror Reports That Arsenal are closing in for Gonzalo Higuain

19th June 2013 By ArsenalSupremo


Gonzalo Higuain has agreed to come to Arsenal as the club-record £22million deal nears conclusion.

Real Madrid striker Higuain and his agent father Jorge are believed to have agreed personal terms in excess of £130,000-a-week as Arsenal prepare to smash their transfer record and wage structure.

The Spanish giants circulated Higuain's name for transfer last month and gave him the green light to negotiate a move away from Real Madrid this summer.

Higuain is keen to move to the Emirates after two rounds of talks with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger who hopes to wrap up the formalities before the club's Far East tour in three weeks' time.

Olivier Giroud believes Arsenal can challenge for the title next season

13th June 2013 By @Arsenal_Supremo



Ahead of the new season upon us Olivier Giroud is confident that Arsenal can challenge for the title next season if they can get off to a good start.

"If we start better than we did this season, I know that we will compete for the title next year because we are used to playing together now and have improved as a team," he said.

"We have also improved as individuals throughout the season, especially the newcomers like Santi (Cazorla), Lukas (Podolski) and me."

"It was not easy at all. It was a massive challenge," he said."I hope that as early as my second season, I can play week in week out and keep scoring regularly because it's key for a striker.


"I have scored fewer compared to last season in Montpellier but the ratio, minutes played to goals scored, is good.

"I scored 17 goals in all competitions and gave 10 assists which, for a first season in England, is good. I am happy with the stats.

"However, you can always do better and I know I can do better and there is a lot of room for improvement. That is why I am already looking forward to next season."

Arsene Wenger is still the right man to turn Arsenal around

7th June 2013 By Jeff @ArsenalTrend


Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis said that he believes manager Arsene Wenger is committed to the club for "the long term", despite media reports linking him with a switch to Paris Saint-Germain.

Wenger, 63, will embark upon the last season of his current contract in August and with Arsenal's trophy drought now stretching to eight years, there has been speculation he could be tempted to leave north London for pastures new.

However, with Arsenal having booked a Champions League berth for a 16th consecutive season, Gazidis believes Wenger remains the right man to take the club forward.

"We think we have got a fantastic manager. We hope that he wants to do what he is doing for the long term. I believe he does," Gazidis said.

"I think he is still ambitious, still driven and sees the potential of the club as he looks forward and I think he is very excited by that. We have a great relationship and he has a great relationship with the board as well.
"So, quietly and at the right time, I think we will make an announcement on that (Wenger's future) when things are all put in place."

Despite the prospect of another Champions League campaign to look forward to next season, providing Arsenal successfully navigate the play-off round, Gazidis accepts that the club must aim their sights higher.

"We want to be competing at the top of the game and in order to do that you have to be in the Champions League, so we are pleased to be qualified, or at least, for the qualification games," Gazidis said.

"But it is not ultimately where we want to be with moving the club forward. We want to be a club that is competing at the very top end of the game and that means competing to win the Premier League and competing to win the Champions League."

Gazidis also expressed hope that Arsenal's prudent financial management and reluctance to build up debts in pursuit of success would pay dividends in the years to come, as UEFA's Financial Fair Play rules come into force.

He said: "The critical thing now as we look ahead over the next season and the season after is our developing financial capability, which will give us a lot more options than in recent years."

Gazidis recent statement was succeeded by reports from various that the club is due a big announcement shortly, but many where quick to debunk such claims and opines its all a PR stunt by Arsenal to hit/attain a projected target of season ticket renewals, which are soon to reach deadline. Time will tell.

More Revenue For Premier League Clubs In 2013/14

7th June 2013 By Jeff @ArsenalTrend



English Premier League clubs will enjoy a revenue boost of almost 25 percent next season thanks to a glut of lucrative new television deals, according to a report published by financial analysts Deloitte.

A trio of television rights agreements estimated to be worth £5.5 billion ($8.5 billion, 6.5 billion euros) are due to kick in when the 2013-14 campaign gets under way, as the English top flight cashes in on its position as the world's most popular football championship. The new deals include a $250 million contract with US broadcaster NBC, which will see 380 matches broadcast to American fans over a period of three years.

England struggled in this season's Champions League, failing to provide a single quarter-finalist for the first time since 1996, but Deloitte says the Premier League remains a formidable financial powerhouse.

"Premier League clubs' revenue is estimated to have grown by ... five percent to £2.5 billion in 2012-13," said Adam Bull from the company's Sports Business Group.

"There will then be a significant increase of around £600 million, almost 25 percent, in 2013-14, with the first season of the Premier League's new broadcast deals, taking the projected revenue of Premier League clubs above £3 billion for the first time."

However, despite record overall revenues of close to £2.4 billion, half the clubs in the Premier League are still making losses and Deloitte says they must brace themselves for the "culture shock" of the new TV windfall. The report predicts that outlay on player wages will continue to grow, but says clubs should try to manage the rise carefully so as to leave funds available to be invested in stadium improvements, youth development and the reduction of losses.

"Achieving a more sustainable balance between their costs and revenues and thereby generating more profits provides opportunities or, some might say, a culture shock for clubs," says the report.



"Increased profitability will allow greater longer-term investment in stadia and training infrastructure, youth development and community programmes.

"It also provides funds for the acquisition of talent, as clubs in the top flight can use the self-generated funds to transfer in and retain top playing talent to strive to improve the quality of football on show."

The report says that revenue generated by clubs in the Premier League reached a record £2.36 billion last year, following a growth in commercial revenue of 15 percent.

"Despite operating in a challenging economic environment, English club football's profile, exposure and increasingly global interest have continued to drive revenue growth for the top clubs," said Deloitte's Dan Jones.

"The combined revenue of the Premier League clubs increased by four percent to almost £2.4 billion, with another year of impressive commercial revenue growth, largely focused among the highest ranked Premier League clubs, and relatively stable match-day and broadcast revenues."

Although Premier League clubs generated the highest revenue of any league in Europe, Germany's Bundesliga was the continent's most profitable championship, with operating profits of £154 million. The Premier League was second, with profits of £98 million.

This season's Champions League final at London's Wembley Stadium was contested by two German clubs, Bayern Munich beating Borussia Dortmund 2-1, and sparked fears in England of a continental The new deals include a $250 million contract with US broadcaster NBC, which will see 380 matches broadcast to American fans over a period of three years.
'power shift'.

The Premier League clubs this season agreed to a set of enhanced financial regulations to curb over-spending and Deloitte's figures showed that there was no growth in the overall amount of net debt in the division, with the figure remaining steadfast from 2011 at £2.4 billion.
