Desky Sky: Arsenal executives have contacted Leipzig to negotiate Seschko! The Gunners are also interested in Sanzai!

4:40pm, 26 May 2025【Football】

The game against Southampton was the first time in Arsenal in 1366 days, when neither Gabriel nor Saliba started. The last time Arsenal lost to Manchester City 0-5, with the three defenders being Korashinac, Holding and Chambers.

It can be seen that Arsenal has undergone earth-shaking changes in recent years. Fat Tigers, earrings and wallets feel like they are old people from many years ago... This team has actually made great progress under Arteta. One of his greatest contributions is that they have cleared out many mediocre people and brought many pillars of the country. Although there is no championship this season, talent has hope!

Let's talk about the game briefly:

Frankly speaking, I won this game, but the offense was still lacking in the first and second half, and Southampton also seized the opportunity to set the ball to equalize the score. This season, #Arsenal# conceded enough goals in set kicks. While studying corner kick off next season, I also had to strengthen the defense...

Sakka, Trosad, Havertz and Odegao were replaced in the second half to strengthen the offense. Obviously, although this game was irrelevant, the team still wanted to score three points to give the visiting team an explanation. In the end, Odegao's long-range shot helped Arsenal secure the victory. However, Arsenal did not have a sense of rhythm throughout the game. The offense was about playing, and there was no organization or focus. Nvanelli had actually worked very hard. He had been getting the ball and passing the ball several times, but Arsenal rarely had an expanded fast break (Martin Jr. had it, but it was wasted). Most of the time it was a positional battle, and he was too demanding. What's more, Enva did not play an attacking midfielder for most of this season, and Odgao's work was not that easy to do. It is appropriate to replace Martin Jr. Tierney is really unnecessary next time. Since playing like this in the second half, it would be better to make Tierney's cross threatening, which is a bit abstract... The good news is that Odgao's long-range shot seems to be back recently. I hope he can keep it next season. He originally had a long-range shot, and Arsenal's debut goal is a world wave!

Of course, there is nothing to say about so many main players being injured and substitutes. This is not even the best Arsenal at the moment. From the perspective of running, I feel that everyone is not energetic, and maybe they are already on holidays... Some problems and regrets can only be left to the summer window and next season to make up for.

In addition, Saka seemed to have a sprain at the last moment, which is really heartbreaking, but nothing is wrong, especially the hamstring, which can easily relapse... Fortunately, it seems to be fine.

This game is the first time that Rice has led Arsenal as captain.

Rice does have the temperament of a captain, but to be honest, Mi Ge's performance in this game was not satisfactory. He felt that he was already very tired both psychologically and physically, and even caused the team to lose the corner kick. He also had some responsibility.

However, Rice is undoubtedly top-notch, and it is one of the biggest magic weapons for Arsenal to compete for the championship next time. I hope he will recharge and rest this summer. Next season, he will still need Rice at the peak!

In addition, the captain seems to have regained some of the long-range shots recently and contributed to Arsenal's victory one after another. I still have the same position. Although Odegao's performance this season is really disappointing, maybe he will recover next season, and he should not be deprived of the captain's armband without any fault. The captain's position is still tentatively determined.

Arsenal's performance in the Premier League this season: 20 wins, 14 draws and 4 losses in 38 games, ranking second with 74 points, scoring 69 goals (91 and 88 goals in the first two seasons), conceding 34 goals, and 35 goals in goal difference. The ranking of the runner-up is OK, but the points are not impressive. To be honest, this season is a competition for many heroes, or they are pecking each other. Too many wealthy families are awkward. Normally, it is difficult to keep the second place with this point.

In addition, with such serious injury, only 4 games lost, which proves that Arteta's defensive system can at least guarantee the lower limit. We have only called for championships in the past three seasons, but don't forget that Arsenal has never fallen out of the Champions League crisis in recent years. Even this season, I think Arsenal has always been sure to win, and the advantage lies in me!

But there are indeed too few goals, which is directly related to the long absence of Saka, Havertz, Jesus, and Odegao (not in good condition). I hope that after buying the striker in the new season and adding defense, Arsenal will be reborn next season!

Despite conceding the goal in this game, Raya still won the Premier League Golden Glove Award this season (sharing the honor with Forest goalkeeper), which is also his two consecutive years of awards! Congratulations!

Even if you question the need for Arsenal to acquire Raya, you cannot question Raya's performance and ability, his performance has always been very stable. Of course, Raya has made mistakes recently and occasionally made mistakes in the backcourt, but this is a tactical requirement. Arteta does not allow the goalkeeper to frequently kick his feet, so understand him. If any goalkeeper is replaced, such a tactic will inevitably make mistakes.

Raya deserves recognition and praise. His performance in the past two years is at the championship level!

Arsenal fans bid farewell to Jorginho after the game.

is also an emotional scene. Jorginho is about to bid farewell to the European arena. Although the Gunners did not enjoy his peak period, they also felt the veteran's heat. He is Arteta's assistant coach in the locker room and a diligent and good player.

Blessings to Jorginho in the future, there is no profit or loss in this transaction. Jorginho has completed his mission and played a role, and that is enough!

There is so much to say about the next issue of the press conference, it's too late...

blogger Jeorge Bird, who focuses on Arsenal youth training, posted that 22-year-old Oyedge, 21-year-old midfielder Jack Henry Francis, and 20-year-old midfielder Gal will all leave Arsenal after the contract expires at the end of June.

The above three youth training young players have been hovering on the edge of the first team recently. Oyedeji has also made a substitute in the Champions League against Dynamo Zagreb and the Premier League against Ipswich. Henry Francis and Goal have also been selected for the matchday roster many times, including the away match against Real Madrid.

21-year-old forward Kayan Edwards will also leave the team next month.

Oyedegi is already 22 years old and must leave the team to look for opportunities; Francis is actually included in the roster in this game, and he really doesn't understand what it means. If he wants to leave, what will he do to the roster? To be honest, Goer was quite surprised. This kid had a high evaluation in the echelon, and I thought he would get some opportunities.

In addition, Edwards was actually very much anticipated a few years ago (the efficiency in the echelon is not low), but in a blink of an eye, it was time to leave the team, and even Obie Martin didn't get the chance, let alone him. Moreover, with Arsenal's serious front injury this season, Arteta did not consider using Oyedge or Edwards (this decision is fine, after all, there was still the Champions League to play at that time, so we only state the facts here), so they obviously have to leave, and it is even more unlikely to have a chance next season.

Bless the future!

German Sky Sports reporter FP tweeted: Arsenal and Berta are currently focusing on two centers: Sheshko and Dzekelish!

Regarding Seshko, Berta and Red Bull Leipzig executives recently made direct contacts to understand the details of the trading framework, including liquidated damages clauses, and both potential deals will be expensive.

For revenue, Leipzig has to sell Seschko this summer, and Arteta and Arsenal bosses both appreciate this striker!

It seems that FP believes that Arsenal regards Sheshko as the first goal and is already in operation, but depending on the meaning of DO, Arsenal has not made a decision yet...

TA reporter DO talked about Arsenal's forward signings at NBC Sports Soccer.

DO said: "Arsenal must make a decision between Sheshko and Zhekelais. I expect one of them will likely join this summer.

Of course, Arsenal has more work to do. For example, the Gunners will work hard to renew Thomas. The matter has no result yet. In addition, they may also sign a defender because they missed Heysen. Besides, Arsenal will also try to sign a substitute goalkeeper." For example, the center of the team seems to have chosen one of Sheshko and Zhekelais. In fact, this matter was obvious a month ago. Wait for the club's decision! I still think there is hope.

Speaking of which, Zhekelais showed his strength again in the Portuguese Cup final. He helped Portugal Sports tie the game with 100 minutes in stoppage time. After dragging in overtime, Portugal reversed Benfica 3-1 to win the championship! To be honest, in addition to being old, I really like Zhekai...

Thomas' contract renewal is very important. Let's wait for the result, it will be soon.

Herison's words, I said before, did Arsenal ask for him because of the good opportunity? Or do you really want to sign the central defender this summer? The meaning of DO seems to be the latter... In other words, after missing Heysen, Arsenal will still find a replacement target...

The substitute goalkeeper can buy it, but don't spend tens of millions. Espanyol has successfully relegated, so Garcia's liquidated damages will not be reduced, which is no cost-effective. It's not that he is bad, but that Arsenal doesn't need it.

In addition, DO did not mention the winger's signings at all... Judging from Martin's performance, I think this is more necessary...

German Sky Sports reporter FP tweeted: Not only Bayern, but Arsenal also intends to acquire Sanshaxun this summer. Berta and his team are evaluating many winger options, with Santa Kan as one of them, Rodrigo being the Gunners’ dream target, but the deal has already stalled due to the Brazilian’s high salary requirement.

This reporter reported on Arsenal's news. I think it is better to carefully refer to it. Rodrigo, Lukeman, Sane, and Sanshun. The names he mentioned were hardly mentioned to the team reporters, so it is difficult to judge.

The three-ball king is naturally very strong, but he is already 28 years old. I don’t feel that he meets Arsenal’s signing standards. Even if he is the target, he should not be the top target. Let’s talk about it later.

Rodrigo Not to mention falling into "stagnation", I'm not sure if I've started... so I won't say much.

In this way, the season has ended, the summer window is about to begin, and the news focus will also be shifted to the transfer! Looking forward, there will definitely be big moves!

As for this season, I think the highlight is the Champions League semi-finals, and I have trained Skelly and Envanelli (I think he is fine), and developed Merino's center attributes, which are eye-catching. But the problem is also obvious. The shortcomings caused by not buying the center are infinitely magnified. The weak rotation has caused hamstring problems for Saka, Gabu, Havertz, Saliba and others. This requires internal review and summary. Injuries are a major factor affecting performance, but the causes of injuries are more worthy of analysis!

In addition, although he is also the runner-up this season, there is actually no hope for the championship. He was eliminated in the semi-finals in the Cup consecutively. Arteta also has to find the reason. This summer it is not just a signing.

In general, I personally think that being able to score 7.5 points is considered conservative. The league runner-up and Champions League semi-finals are not a bad move, but it is also considered a good job.

But there is still hope next season. Arsenal's lineup is very strong. Just try to break the window!
