What a game between Arsenal and Liverpool yesterday! It’s an important, crucial win for Arsenal. Once again they do a great job playing big games at home, this is crucial. Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka are two wonderful players, but in general I think Arsenal’s mentality is improving. I still see Liverpool absolutely strong in the title race, they were also pretty unlucky yesterday.
Following that result, I have more big news for Arsenal, and that’s that Takehiro Tomiyasu has now agreed to sign a new contract at the Emirates Stadium. The agreement is now in place, everything is ready, and an announcement is imminent.
It’s just time to complete the paperwork, but Tomiyasu is going to be the next important player to sign a new deal at Arsenal, following on from others like Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka and William Saliba in recent months.
There was interest from clubs in Italy and elsewhere in the last months, but there was no chance for Tomiyasu to leave – Arsenal wanted to continue with him, and soon it’ll be time for this new deal to be made official. Here we go!
One final point as well on Jorginho, who was voted player of the match against Liverpool – despite rumours, it was never a concrete possibility to see Jorginho leaving Arsenal in January. Interest is always there but never negotiations or talks. I think he remains a good, experienced player able to help in the rotations and in the end, he was a good, smart signing for Arsenal.
Manchester United also enjoyed a good win yesterday as their talented young attacking players shone in the win over West Ham, but what about another top young talent who left the club in January?
Some Man United fans were a bit surprised…
