The Gunners face Ligue 1 champion PSG on two historic European semi-final feet that can define the campaign, and Luis Enrique’s side comes as a very tough obstacle to overcome.
Arsenal’s final Premier League game | date |

Bournemouth (home) | May 3rd |

Newcastle United (home) | May 18th |
Southampton (away) | May 25th |
Arsenal encourages Aston Villa from an interesting victory in the final round at Villa Park. They proved unbeatable, and the OGC ended the club’s unbeaten streak on France’s top flight with a surprising 3-1 victory at Park des Princess last Friday.
The North Londoners already boasted a victory over PSG, with Arsenal defeating the Emirates 2-0 in October. So it is clear that Arteta’s side since 2006 could reach its first Champions League final.
“I think I’ll prepare as much as I can,” said Arteta, who faces PSG on two feet, about the excitement of Arsenal. “Make sure your energy is balanced. Make sure you understand what you have to do. It’s time to express yourself, enjoy being a soccer player and play on one of the best stages you can play in world football.”
Meanwhile, new sports director Andrea Berta is working on preparing for his first summer transfer window in his new role.
Reports say Arsenal is trying to fully strengthen Arteta’s team, which could spend up to £300 million in doing so (Givemesport). Despite Arsenal’s recent opening talks with Thomas Parte about contract extensions, one of their major summer transfer plans is to sign the star’s new central midfield player.
Arsenal tells Real Madrid they have “virtually confirmed” Zvimendi contract
According to Cadena Ser, Real Sociedad star Martin Zubimendi, who has been targeting pre-summer contracts since January (mail) has mostly gone through the door.
Last week, multiple reports, including both David Ornstein and Marca reporter Juan Castro, showed Arsenal that they have a real belief that they are on the verge of sealing Zubimendi’s deal. Cadena makes another interesting claim.
The outlet has shared Arsenal news, informing Real Madrid’s board of directors that Zubmendi’s signature is “substantially finalized,” and that whites may need to look elsewhere to pursue a new midfielder.
The Premier League team is clearly threatening to be taken away from its summer plans, and while Chelsea also sees Bournemouth’s Dean Huizen’s real major competitor, the Los Blancos are believed to have no financial firepower to compete with the British elite.
It seems that Zubimendi’s £51 million release clause is being brought about by Arsenal. A wide range of media sources, including Cadena, suggest that Spain International will become Berta’s first major signature as director.
The “world-class” engineer he was called by Kieran Tierney is also said to be the “perfect” midfielder of Arsenal (Fabrizio Romano).
