TRANSFER SAGA: Edu eyes ‘next Erling Haaland’ move as Gary Neville fires warning at Mikel Arteta

Gary Neville issues Arsenal ‘difficult’ Premier League title warning ahead of Leicester clash

Arsenal continue to defy expectations and lead the way in their Premier League title challenge against reigning champions Manchester City. Manchester United are not far off the pace in third place and could make a late challenge should Marcus Rashford continue to stay fit and firing in the goals.

The Gunners fell to second in the table as City picked up a crucial 3-1 win at the Emirates Stadium. The title race took yet another twist just days later as Arsenal came from behind twice to win 4-2 against Aston Villa, as City drew 1-1 against Nottingham Forest despite having a number of clear chances to win the game.

There is a lingering problem for Arteta ahead of a crucial run of fixtures for the north London outfit. Arsenal have conceded 11 goals in their last eight league matches and Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville has warned they must improve defensively if they are to get their hands on the Premier League trophy for the first time since 2004.

Erling Haaland makes Martin Odegaard and Kevin De Bruyne decision amid Arsenal title fight

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has made a major decision regarding Martin Odegaard as the golden boot race leader labelled the Arsenal captain as his ‘biggest rival’. The Gunners are currently two points ahead of City in the Premier League despite losing to Pep Guardiola’s side last week.

26 goals in 22 appearances in his debut Premier League season is an astonishing record, and throughout his career he has played with many talented playmakers. At Borussia Dortmund it was Jude Bellingham, now at City it’s Kevin De Bruyne – and for his country it’s Gunners captain Odegaard.

Bellingham could follow Haaland from Dortmund to the Etihad Stadium this summer, but it is thought that Real Madrid and Liverpool lead the race for his signature with a number of others keen. Now the 22-year-old striker has chosen which player is his favourite in a game of start, bench, sell.
