Arsenal Daily Briefing

Arsenal's summer is picking up pace. Atletico Madrid are now preparing for life without Julian Álvarez — which is the biggest transfer green light the Gunners could have asked for. Morgan Rogers remains the leading winger target, but the competition is fierce. Plus, sixteen players are heading to the World Cup, William Saliba has a worrying injury update, and the new season dates are locked in.

The summer window is now fully open — and Arsenal's to-do list is already long. Arteta's contract extension is the board's top priority, Piero Hincapié's permanent deal is confirmed at €52m, and the club is chasing Julian Álvarez hard even as Barcelona push back with their own big bid. Plus: Real Madrid want Declan Rice, the outgoings list is taking shape, and Morgan Rogers is reportedly open to a move to the Emirates.

The confetti has settled and the summer begins. Arteta calls for Arsenal to be 'ambitious, fast and smart' in the transfer window; Real Madrid reportedly eye Declan Rice — but Rice fires back with 'lock in or get locked out.' Transfer targets, Arteta's contract extension, and a farewell to Katie McCabe.

North London turned red yesterday — half a million fans lined the streets for the Premier League trophy parade, even as the sting of Budapest remained fresh. Declan Rice vowed Arsenal will be back. Gabriel posted his thanks. And as Arteta heads into his review, Dani Olmo name is already surfacing as the summer begins.

Arsenal lost the Champions League final to PSG on penalties — Gabriel's decisive miss the cruellest of endings. Havertz put us ahead, Dembélé levelled from the spot, and after 120 minutes it came down to a shootout. Eze and Gabriel missed. We wake up as Premier League champions — the parade is today, 2pm, Islington. Come and celebrate what this group has done.

It's Champions League final day in Budapest. Timber is confirmed fit to start. Arteta says Arsenal want the double — clarity, courage and relentless desire. Saka reflects on his journey from Hale End to this moment. Thierry Henry was at Friday's training. Kickoff is 5pm BST. Come on, Arsenal.

Arsenal fly to Budapest today — two days before the Champions League final against PSG. Timber's fitness verdict comes Friday, the Emirates screening is sold out, and the focus that spent a week celebrating the Premier League title is finally, fully locked on Saturday.

Three days to go until the Champions League final in Budapest. Arteta wins PL Manager of the Season, Arsenal confirmed to train at the Puskás Arena on Friday, the summer transfer window dates are locked, and PSG's Hakimi and Dembélé are pushing to return — but we've got a gut feeling about Saturday.

The trophy is in Arsenal hands. We break down yesterday's 2-1 win at Crystal Palace — nine rotations, Merino's comeback, Dowman's history-making start, and Arteta's words at the ceremony. Then: five days to Budapest. Timber's race against time, the Hakimi doubt at PSG, and what Zubimendi at right-back might mean. Plus Karl Hein's permanent exit and the first whispers of a massive Arteta contract.

Trophy day is here. Arsenal travel to Selhurst Park at 4pm BST for the Premier League trophy ceremony — Odegaard lifts it around 6:30pm. Team news on Merino, Timber, and rotation ahead of Budapest. Karl Hein confirmed leaving for Werder Bremen. Six days until the Champions League final against PSG.

Twelve Arsenal players are heading to the World Cup in North America. Merino is back on grass and ready to play. Tomorrow at Selhurst Park: the trophy lift. And seven days until Budapest.

The day-after debrief: Arsenal have confirmed a victory parade for May 31 in Islington, Arteta is close to signing a bumper new contract with a massive pay rise, Kroupi and Julián Álvarez are among the summer transfer targets, and Timber's Champions League fitness is in serious doubt as Koeman warns things "do not look rosy."
