Jeremie Aliadiere tells Arsenal to sign Liverpool star instead of Isak

1 week ago | footballfancast.com | Matt Dawson

When the transfer window opens for business in the summer, Arsenal fans will be screaming at Andrea Berta to sign a new striker. The new sporting director is only just getting his feet under the table at the Emirates Stadium but the expectation is that the Gunners will spend big, regardless of how they finish their Champions League campaign.

Jeremie Aliadiere names the three players he wants Arsenal to sign

1 week ago | footballfancast.com | Matt Dawson

With new sporting director Andrea Berta now at the helm, Arsenal are all set for a frantic summer transfer window. The Gunners are likely to finish second in the race for the Premier League title and they have a few reasons to blame. Injuries have ruined them and they have been on the end of some questionable refereeing calls. However, the biggest problem, notably in 2025, has been their lack of a central striker after season-ending injuries for Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus.

Their new Juan Mata: Man Utd plot bid to sign "future Ballon d'Or winner"

With a new stadium on the horizon, the future certainly looks bright for Manchester United and Ruben Amorim's side. However, will Amorim still be in charge by the time that new arena is built? It's not looking likely at this rate. While there may well be a light at the end of the tunnel in several years' time, how does the Portuguese negotiate his side through the choppy waters of 2025?

Over the last few seasons, much has been made of Arsenal's inability to strengthen their forward line. Indeed, it's rather well documented that the only out-and-out striker Mikel Arteta has bought to the Emirates Stadium since becoming manager is Gabriel Jesus. The Brazilian now sits on the treatment table with a long-term ACL injury and is joined by Kai Havertz. With Eddie Nketiah sold last summer, it means that Arsenal don't have a centre-forward available to them.

While the Premier League season has rather petered out for Arsenal and Mikel Arteta, the future remains bright for a football club that is still very much on the rise. Of course, they will be disappointed at the way they fell behind Liverpool in the race for the title but their remarkable 3-0 win over Real Madrid last week sent a message around the continent that the Gunners are a mighty fine team, even when they aren't at full strength.

Ruben Amorim may have had one transfer window to get his feet under the window but despite the arrival of Patrick Dorgu, Manchester United have not made much headway. Amorim has failed to win 20 of his 33 matches in the Old Trafford hotseat and the constant chopping and changing was there for all to see when Dorgu didn't even start on Sunday.
The new Casemiro: Amorim must axe 3/10 Man Utd dud who looked "so anxious"

St James' Park isn’t the happiest of hunting grounds for the best of Premier League teams, so when Alejandro Garnacho equalised in the first half, drawing Manchester United level, a good result looked as though it was on the cards for Ruben Amorim's men. However, despite going into the break at 1-1, United’s joy was certainly short-lived. The score come the full-time whistle read 4-1 in favour of Newcastle who had undone the Red Devils hardly at breakneck speed.
Ange must instantly drop 4/10 Spurs dud who's becoming the new Ndombele

The ice beneath Ange Postecoglou has become even thinner, if that were even possible. Indeed, the end is surely nigh as far as his term at Tottenham Hotspur is concerned. As Spurs lost 4-2 to Wolves on Sunday afternoon, it came as little surprise, truth be told. The errors that dominated the game were of little shock either.
