Preview Show: The Benaissance

Will Julián Alvarez come to Arsenal? Will he even pick up the phone to Mikel Arteta? Who knows but... do we want him to? Luke, Jim and Rory ponder on that question and all of the saga's complexities as the rumours continue to mount.

But first, there's the small matter of Unai Emery's Aston Villa on Monday night! We're excited for more of the same after Coventry City, and we might get our first look at Bruno Guimarães in an Arsenal shirt in the Premier League. One thing is for sure though: the Benaissance is well and truly under way.
