Arsenal latest news: Sensational Saka | Saliba Madrid rumours | Gabriel's future | Biereth reaction 

Bukayo Saka... what a player, what a person! That smile and his courage. You watch him and you can see the pure joy of football, and life, oozing out of him. Cannot say this enough but "Thank you for putting a smile on my face, Saka!!" So proud of him! - Nathan (USA)

As a Nigerian and Arsenal fan, I was extremely nervous when Saka stepped up to take the 3rd Penalty. Thank goodness, he converted it. Saka is a complete human being, which is a rare thing amongst footballers who earn big money. He is down to earth. Long may it continue for Saka and Arsenal.

I'm a Irish guy , super proud on Saka for stepping up to hit the pen. Where are the septics now? What was the Spurs fans singing last year, you let your country down was it, I bet ya all were cheering the lad last night. Well done lad.

Couldn't be prouder of Saka. Unbelievable character and player. Cheers for the news, Charles.

These are the Saka years. Enjoy.

When Saka scored the equalizer I nearly cried, been once again disrespected tournament, yet involved in 40% of the goals we have scored at this Euros. Always worry for him because we know he’s a massive target everytime they play but the guy is immense love the guy

Props to you Charles. Really appreciate having someone as standup as you representing our club, Thank you and keep up the good work.

I'm Irish and couldn't be happier for Saka. The 3 lads that got the abuse for missing against Italy.. where are they now. Just shows how elite Saka is and his mentality

I usually don't support England during tournaments but I'm this time around because of Saka. Was so happy for him when he equalised and had a perfect penalty. This is just the beginning for him and he'll go on to achieve great things for club and country

Saliba is starting price 200m

Saliba 130 Mill? Nah, bigger number than that. 180 ish.

Saka is an inspiration to many human who one way or the other have failed to never give up

Saka is such an absolute joy to watch. England don't use him as well as they could be IMHO. To be at his best, Saka needs to touch the ball often and get two -three attempts in a row to beat his defenders. Last night he was beating their left back every time, but the midfield would most often pass the ball to the the right. But quality comes through. What a goal! What a player! What a man!

Sending tribute and love to Saka from India. When the penalty went in..had literally tears in my eyes. What an inspirational story.

Hey Charles! Jesse here in Australia. I've been watching Bukayo since his debut, and I can honestly say I've never felt prouder and happier for a player for what they are achieving. Outstanding character, world class talent and will enjoy watching him for the rest of his very long and successful career (watched his penalty through covered eyes too mate). If Arsenal could sign him for life I wish they would. Cheers!

Hi Charles, many thanks for your excellent show with great analysis and insights. What a player Saka is - a role model for the youngsters, in particular. His equaliser for England, is likened to an Arsenal play. Rice takes the ball on the right and passes it to Saka, and then runs further to distract the Swiss defence, providing Saka with some space. Saka takes the ball and scores a wonderful goal - he celebrates and runs to the sideline and hugs Ramsdale. So proud of the two best England players of the match - Saka and Rice.

Star Boy & Dec representing,can Arsenal win the Euro's?One Love ABang!

Hi Charles 👋, I hope all is good and I hope 🙏 your son gets better soon. What an intense game 🎮 England vs Switzerland 🇨🇭, but thank God for Bukayo Saka scoring the equaliser and what a cracking goal 👏. COYE to beat the Netherlands God willing. Have a good day Charles 😂.

Jadon Sancho's comment means a lot. Am not English fan but am a gunner. The fact that England won. I wouldn't want to see it done no other way. Did ya'll see what he did to former teammate and captain Xhaka 😅. Job well done to him.

Hey Charles. Due to many transfer rumors going around at the moment i think we've forgotten about one player who could make some pure profit(besides Nketiah,Nelson and ESR). Norton Cuffy has now spent 2 seasons in a row in the EFL and i think he could be sold to another EFL club or a PL club that has just been promoted maybe a bit more fee we received from Biereth. I might be wrong but he doesn't have long in his contract so it might be the time to cash him on. Personally he was one of the most consistent youth who performed out there on loan. +)How do you see the possibility of Nwaneri and Skelly promoted to the first team next season? If Arsenal fails to sign anyone in the No.8 position i think Arteta should at least give both of them a go to show them there's a pathway in the first team. Not every game but like the Carabao cup or the Fa cup.

With Brazil losing, we only have two still playing…not terrible. Rest and get ready!

Palmer has something about him. He tries something always. Someone in that team is needed like that

Saka is carrying the England squad.

Well done Saka! Incredible it took Rice to unleash him for that wonder goal. I actually had mad respect for Kane... essentially took himself off because it was clear Southgate wouldn't. He literally walked around the pitch and Southgate wouldn't take him off, so that Akanji tackle on Kane into the bench was huge from an England standpoint because it got Toney on...finally.

Saka and Saliba have been the best Arsenal players at the euros. Rice and Havertz have been ok+.

I have to say as an Irish man and a huge Gunner I am often torn when watching England as I will always want the Arsenal players to succeed. watching the match with my mates yesterday when bukayp scored brought me back to the United game and I couldn’t help but celebrate safe to say I got some slagging afterwards.

the partnership of gabriel and saliba for the first two season brought us to 2nd place finish. the partnership of gabriel-white in 2021-2022 season brought us to fifth place finish from a mediocre 8th place in 2020-2021 season. we could have won the league last season if, you guess it, partway for most of the season is healthy. could have finish in the top four if he's healthy in 2021-2022 season. so having state this facts, no defenders should leave the club. if calafiori deal is official, then timber, gabriel, saliba, white, calafiori, zinchenko, kiwior, tomiyasu should be our defenders. all of them are versatile player. but i want zinny to substitute more on the midfield than the left back, though if needed, thats the only situation he should play at left back.

Saka is braver than me. I couldn’t watch ❤

Smith Rowe in the news today for expressing his desire to stay at Arsenal despite being transfer listed. If you were Smith Rowe would you do another season in the shadows or would you move to someone like Crystal Palace?

why can't arsenal convince mika with an extension of contract and then insert a buy back option,in any sales they intend to make in the future ...

At Euro 2020 (2021) we saw a boy become a man... Hopefully at Euro 2024 we will see the Man become Superman. From little chilli to Super Saka... What a journey... So proud that Bukayo is Arsenal through and through

Hi Charles, hope all is well! I don’t know if I can put into words the love I have for Saka, it’s like he’s my son even though I’m only 4 years older than him with no children😂❤

Saliba can go to Madrid, but not for less than 100 million. Simple.

Hi Charles. On the Real rumours, they have always been linked to Arsenal players. I grew up with PV being linked every summer. Does not mean it will happen. if we deliver success on the pitch players will stay. That is now the next step, this team is very close. . On a side note dd you say on an EP of inside Arsenal ET, that your kids are following both Spain & Switzerland in the Euros? The rivalry must be fun in your house.

Well done, Brother Saka silencing the boo boys that were racially abusing him, in Euro 2020 when he missed the penalty. But what a great finish, and then he scored the penalty in the shoot out. Saka boy, he can take England all the way if he carries on against the Dutch on Wednesday. Well done, Brother Saka, the golden boy.

The Star Boy

I've seen a few comments about Watford's Yáser Asprilla lately, positioning him as a Saka backup. Did you hear anything about that?

If we sell Saliba we are saying we can't be among the big clubs. Can't do it. Just sign him for 5 new years. Top five paid Arsenal players. Gabriel, Saliba, Rice, Ødegaard and Saka.

Hi Charles, love your daily updates. I saw David Ornsteins tweet regarding Dan Bentley, and was wondering what the intention is? Hopefully 3rd goalie but Wolves will not sell unless they get suitable fee, any idea of what kind of fee would be reasonable? - Niels from Norway

Hey charles. What can you tell us about Hato from Ajax. Fabrizio had mentioned him some time back

I don’t think I’ve ever felt that way after a goal. We see Saka do this for us soo regularly but for the world to be able to give Bukayo his flowers filled me with soo much pride and happiness. It made me think about the Saka post of us deserving more at our lowest at Arsenal. We have a special player with a special mentality and that’s what makes our boy a superstar. Didn’t complain about being moved to a defensive position (takes a lot of humility for someone as good as he is). Literally this moment couldn’t have happened to a better person, he deserved every bit of that moment. Our Starboy ❤

I knew Saka was going to take one of the penalties, I never had any doubts that he was going to score the kick, I actually thought in the beginning of the kick he was going to take the first one or the last one.

Saka was Englands best player by a country mile on Saturday! The kid is world class !!

Why we not signing RW and CF 😢😢

All my best mates (none are Gooners) in my group chat were going back and fourth around the 60th minute, demanding Saka comes off as he “hasn’t done anything all game” Absolute joke really. He was the only player causing any disruption up top yesterday! When he scored they typically said “finally he’s done something” Haters will hate I guess Then Mr big plums also puts away his penalty brilliantly! Gotta love our star boy Ps - Rice was definitely second best player on the pitch. COYG

Look at him celebrate with ramsdale. Arsenal vibes 🔥

Fear of losing Saliba = small club mentality.

Saka is way more appreciated as an England player than many people might realise. I've had fans of Spurs, Newcastle, Liverpool, Man U and Chelsea all congratulating me on how well our star boy played last night.

I'm so proud of Saka ... It takes unbelievable courage to step up for a penalty again after all the abuse he received three years ago ... He's such a great inspiration as a footballer and as a person, and we are lucky to have him at Arsenal

Starboy!!! 💫💫💫

Hi Charles 👋 What's your favourite type of cheese? 🧀

Gabriel should never break up the best defence in a Prem before we win the league, because we're going to risk our chances, about Saka i was so happy for him, beautiful goal as well, this is also very good for us Gunners.

⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️

I pray that all the players in these tournaments stay injury free and get a long rest after. 🙏

Good afternoon Charlies , Thanks for the content and have a great weekend mate and viewers.From Irish gooner Liverpool ☘️ 🤙.

HIGH WATTAGE ⚡⚡⚡

Never wanted someone to score a penalty so much. So glad for Saka. He needed this game to finally shut the haters up. Was our only consistent threat throughout the whole 2 hours. And stepped up to take a vital third pen, when Foden had to be subbed off because he was crapping his pants in the 115th min 😂

If when Saliba gos to Madrid no one else will win the champions league for the next 5 years

Trippier kane and walker must have Southgates kids hostage somewhere

We should create our own Galacticos..not selling to them!!!

I cried when he scored his pen. I celebrated the England goal like I was English. I love B so much and he's been one of the best players in the world for 2,3 years now. and he's only getting better

So happy (and relieved) for Bukayo on the penalty kick. I went back and looked at his miss from the 2021 Euro against Italy because I seemed to remember both that kick and yesterday's going toward the same side of goal. They did but yesterday's was perfectly placed in the corner with decent pace whereas 2021's was harder hit, more toward the middle, and the goalkeeper guessed right in 2021. I don't think Donnarumma's 2021 reaction would have saved yesterday's kick. Such nervewrackingly fine margins! And what a great goal during regular time to tie it up. Not sure if you watched the Copa and Brazil against Uruguay. No Vinnie Jr. but the Brazilian manager played everyone except Martinelli until just the very end. Glad to see Gabi at least knock home his pen. What a physical match that one was.

Having all our Full backs as back ups for our CBs is mental! Just brilliant. I can see a scenario where we have white and calafiori as our cbs and timber and tomi to their sides and I'd still be confident.

Saliba will be at Arsenal for another 6yrs 😊

Charles, thanks for the content, always great. With Southgate probably on the way out after the tournament, win or lose, who would be your ideal replacement?

Netherlands not Holland

I don't feel that Saliba will leave arsenal this summer or any summer as much as real is showing interest it's a good thing it shows arsenal is going in the right direction AN ARSENAL WONT BUCKEL FOR ANYONE!!!.. THIS IS THE ONE TIME REAL WILL HAVE TO BACK OFF!!... WE BUILDING THE BEST TEAM THIS IS A DIFFERENT ARSENAL!!! SORRY REAL SALIBA IS UNTOUCHABLE!!

Nice to see The Sun appreciate the worth of SAKA !

Saka is walking into Henry territory status. He's not immune from having a bad game but you know he'll give heart n soul to every game he plays

Difference is now that Real Madrid are the only mega club that are ahead of us in terms of both success and finances

Star boy❤

Player ratings round up for last night. Total of Guardian, Goal, Independent, Evening Standard, Sky, Talksport. I bet Trippier and Kane both start the next game and play most of it before being subbed off, despite being our worst two starting players. Foden not doing enough either. Saka 53 Pickford 44 Konsa 43 Mainoo 42 Rice 42 Palmer (sub) 42 Bellingham 41 Shaw (sub) 40 Eze (sub) 39 Stones 36 Walker 34 Foden 34 Trippier 32 Toney (sub) 32 (no Talksport rating) Alexander-Arnold (sub) 28 (no Goal or Talksport rating) Kane 27

Big up Sir Charles! I respect your tribute to Saka. You criticised him last week and I felt it was unjustified, as the whole England team have been under par. Even before the game against Switzerland, I believe he was one of the better performers having to play in 3 different positions. I am a huge Arsenal, England and Saka fan, so I am delighted to see all do well. 💙

Did you notice how Saka kept creating his own space? He had 2 or 3 on him so he came in field more, dragging that 2 or 3 with him, then when they were looking the other way he went back out into the space he'd created for himself. That's very clever and the first time I've seen him doing that.

Being an American arsenal fan I want England to win because Saka deserves a major trophy especially where he’s starring so well for a team that I would say is under performing. I’m curious if your nerves were worse than the Porto shootout, I don’t remember being more on edge than that game and I definitely felt some of that when Saka stepped up. But he’s cool as you’d like I’m so happy he’s getting his rightful praise. Martinelli did the same thing last night, Brazil might’ve lost, but I only care that Gabi did his job and he gets to come home early!

First

I have no illusion in my mind, Saliba is not going to Madrid. Not today or in a million years. If it's a joke, you better stop it.

Top hailings to our superb star boy, Bukayo Saka⭐

Saka is generational, probably the best arsenal player to come from the academy

Saka statement is a word of wisdom

If they want saliba, they should be preparing minimum 200 million

Saka is a sensational player, ready to cause a damage at any time within a match. That was class.

Saka! ❤

Hi Charles, any news about Charlie Patino?

Saka was magnificent. So happy to see his big smile after burying that penalty. You know it meant a lot to him. Meanwhile it turns out Southgate is a revolutionary genius. He completely flipped the script and transformed England from a team that plays well and goes out on penalties to a team that plays poorly and wins on penalties.

Considering how bad we are on selling it would be a huge silver lining to get a 100m+ fee for Saliba. Not that we’d want to see it happen at least til he’s won a few trophies with us.

SAKA’S WORLDCLASS! At 22 years; CR7 242 games & 106 Goals+Assists. Saka 212 games & 104 Goals+Assists. Messi 200 games & 138 Goals+Assists. I want to say to pundits, again, stop setting a tone for certain players to be attacked. Your platforms are dangerous if you don’t use them well. They set a precedence for players to be destroyed or supported with understanding. Rashford didn’t recover as Saka has from the damage most of you lot have done. But he’s absolutely a top pedigree talent!

Arsenal saved GS job! R/S!!👊🤛😍😁😆

Kane needs dropping for Watkins, foden needs to stop taking all the set pieces

Saka was sensational, a great way to shut everyone up that thinks palmer is the better player lol! Ferdinand is right, arguably Englands most important player.

As a Swiss gooner I have mixed feelings after this. Really happy for Bukayo but gutted at the same time

Saka I which he was my son 💯🙏

I know you may not discuss this however, I really think that Saka doesn’t get the plaudits because of his skin tone. Him being a success doesn’t feed in to the racist tropes.

DROP KANE. HE'S USELESS! ENGLAND HAVE BEEN PLAYING WITH 10 MEN THE WHOLE TOURNAMENT. LOVE SAKA. COYG.

No

Now we have started selling Saliba. The Arsenal fans are a sad and controversial lot. 😅😅😅

I was so happy for Saka although England have been very poor this Euros. The thing that baffles me is why does England always have the easiest bracket run to the final. When you look at the other top teams, they get tougher groups and harder knockout games. Is it corrupt? Or just luck? Since world cup 2018 or so

One more Saliba season, this is a farewell season tour, Hala Madrid

"Saka should have passed to Foden." stupid pundit comment

England. What a joke. Saka and Rice were head and shoulders above the rest. Southgate the drip must go, a non-manager. He has no idea and management skills, there is nothing wrong with the players. Harry Kane is past his sell-by date.
