    91% Tackle Success: The Defender Who Has Arsenal And Chelsea Battling For Him - Player Report

    Kurt Zouma has hit the headlines for the wrong reasons recently. The 19-year-old made a horror tackle against an opponent in France which left his foot barely attached to his leg - think Eduardo for Arsenal - but now he's in the papers because he has Arsenal and Chelsea supposedly fighting over his signature. But what could he offer the Premier League should he sign?

    Arsenal Chasing La Liga Winger With 9 Goals In 13 Games, But What Could He Offer The Gunners? Player Report

    With Arsenal sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League you'd think that they were sorted for the season in terms of personnel, but it's a long, gruelling season and they will need to strengthen in January to keep their players fresh. One man who has been linked with a move to north London is Real Sociedad's Antoine Griezmann, but who is he and where would he fit into the club?

    5 Signs That Arsenal Are The Real Deal This Season - Part 1

    In my last article I explained how the media set up Arsenal's season in their own minds and that they didn't expect much to happen. Exit from the Champions League, struggle early but a late pick up in form lands them in the Champions League but the minimal squad depth made some journalists jump to conclusions that the Gunners may not even make the Champions League next season. At the moment, they are defying the odds and are having a great season. But what's important to know is that this is no fluke - Arsene Wenger has found a tactic, a team, and a balance that can help Arsenal win the league. Here are five reasons why I think Arsenal can win the league. Hindsight will tell me not to do this just in case, but this is my opinion now and it's not likely to change soon.

    THREE Arsenal Players Who Should Be Dropped After Napoli Loss

    Arsenal had a late scare in Italy last night as Napoli almost snatched their place in the next stage of the Champions League. The Italians won the game 2-0 - a result which saw Borussia Dortmund win the group, and Mikel Arteta picked up two yellow cards to further hinder the Gunners. On the back of the result, here are three players who I feel Arsene Wenger should bench ahead of Saturday's tie with Manchester City. Before you slate me, read my reasons why and read take off any rose-tinted specs before reading.

    Italian Clubs Fighting For Their Lives in the Champions League

    With the loss from Juventus yesterday, sending the Italian club out of the Champions League, it seems as if the remaining Italian clubs are fighting for their survival as well today in the last match day. AC Milan are playing Ajax, both clubs are only separated by one point in group h. While Napoli are playing Arsenal, Napoli are currently tied with Boruissa Dortmund in the middle of the table on 9 points. All matches are being played in Italy however, so both clubs have home field advantage.

    Player Report: Arsenal And Liverpool Watching Playmaker With 26 Key Passes To His Name

    Hamburg have had a tough time of things this season, winning just four of their 15 Bundesliga outings, but there has been one massive highlight for the Germans. Mention the name Hakan Clahanoglu and you will receive some perplex looks, especially to fans of the English game. Not many have heard of the 19-year-old, but he's slowly changing that due to some fine performances. Those displays have apparently caught the eye of Arsenal and Liverpool ahead of the January transfer window, so I thought that I would have a look at his statistics for the season.

    This summer started as one of frustration for Arsenal. Their desperation for a striker saw them fail with a bid for Liverpool's Luis Suarez and were supposedly interested in Argentine goal-getter, who was at Real Madrid at the time, Gonzalo Higuain. While the former stayed at his club, the latter opted for a move to Napoli where he has scored 10 goals in his opening 17 games, and he has the chance to show Arsene Wenger what he is missing out on when the Gunners travel to Italy for their Champions League clash. But how do they stop him?

    Arsenal are in tip-top form at the moment. They sit top of the Premier League, top of the Champions League group and have a few top-class youngsters coming through. There is one thing that most Arsenal fans seem to agree on though, and that's the fact that they look short up top. Olivier Giroud is playing brilliantly but he can't do everything on his own, and Arsene Wenger's search for goals has supposedly lead him to Ajax playmaker Davy Klaassen, who has scored six goals in his eight appearances in the Dutch topflight this season.
