Arsenal will go 18 points clear of Liverpool with a win tomorrow after 17 games. 21 clear of Chelsea. 16 of Spurs. Thought I’d just remind after #AFC were mocked to high heaven last season for being so far off it. Fun being the other way around.

- Bukayo Saka has to start every game for England. Every. He’s better than the other players in his position, that’s just a fact.
- Arsenal have already held initial talks over a move for Pedro Neto. #AFC want to pay £35m, Wolves want around £50m. No official bid yet, but Mikel Arteta a huge fan of the winger.
- Arsenal have agreed a £30m fee for Oleksandr Zinchenko. #AFC getting a cheaper deal than Man City wanted. Edu working on finalising personal terms and contract. Wants assurances over position etc. Fifth signing not far away.
- No worries with Arsenal and any FFP breaches. Was looked at because #AFC were spending money and quickly dismissed by Uefa. Dealing within their means and can still spend lots more this summer if they want.
- Arsenal signing Declan Rice and Timber along with one of the best players in the world in Russo. One of their star kids in Nwaneri is staying. Nelson has signed a new deal, Saliba next. They've gone from one of the worst run clubs to one of the best in a short space of time. #AFC
- I know Arsenal probably still need another midfielder but Granit Xhaka is far from being replaced if yesterday is anything to go by. Unreal at covering Zinchenko, getting forward and ticking ball over. Thought he was sensational. #AFC
- Arsenal confirm Gabriel Martinelli's new contract until 2027 with 12-month option. Now on around £180,000-a-week. #AFC now want Saka, Saliba and a new deal for Xhaka all sorted ASAP.
- Arsenal preparing to take their Moises Caicedo bid up to £75m. Up front £70m with £5m addons. Would be club record deal. Brighton still holding out but seem to be getting closer to their valuation now. #AFC
- Arsenal have improved their Mykhailo Mudryk bid for a second time. Now worth up to £62m to Shakhtar Donetsk. #AFC confident they’re close and he wants the move that helps.
- Oh and we’ve got some exclusive pictures coming of Arsenal’s latest transfer signing coming in shortly. #AFC
- Arsenal issues around the Youri Tielemans deal are Leicester's asking price (More than £50m with just a year left) and his wage demands are huge compared to what #AFC willing to pay.
