Arsenal secured a massive 1-0 win away at Aston Villa, but are there now signs that Mikel Arteta’s plans for the attack could be VERY different to what supporters expected? 👀🔴⚪️

Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Arsenal are interested in Lyon winger Malick Fofana, with a reported €40M valuation. Arsenal reportedly don’t want to pay that figure — but the bigger question is whether Fofana represents the level of attacking signing Arsenal fans were expecting.

After all the talk of Arsenal adding a marquee attacker and a genuine upgrade to Mikel Arteta’s forward line, are Arsenal still planning one major move? Or could the club be looking at a completely different solution?

In today’s video, I break down the latest Arsenal transfer news and give my reaction to yesterday’s crucial Premier League victory over Aston Villa.

Despite some criticism of the performance, I explain why I think Aston Villa 0-1 Arsenal could look like an extremely impressive result in a few months’ time.

We also discuss the fascinating battle between Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyökeres. Havertz has now started ahead of Gyökeres in Arsenal’s last two games — so has he become Arteta’s first-choice striker?

There were also brilliant performances from Myles Lewis-Skelly and Riccardo Calafiori, while Bukayo Saka once again delivered a huge moment with the winning goal.

I also discuss Eberechi Eze and the questions surrounding his role. Arsenal fans want another left winger, but could Arteta instead use Christos Tzolis as his main option with Eze providing cover from the left?

And finally, Bruno Guimarães made a massive impact from the bench. His introduction completely changed Arsenal’s performance and gave us an exciting glimpse of what he could bring to this team throughout the season.
