It’s deadline week and Julián Álvarez is the story — Arsenal are being tipped as the likeliest destination, a signing that would reshape the attack. Arsenal are also eyeing wingers like Igor Paixão and Bradley Barcola, while the club want to keep Cristhian Mosquera and have confirmed Reiss Nelson’s contract termination.
Meanwhile the Champions League draw hands Arsenal Real Madrid (H), Bayern (A), Dortmund (H), Betis (A), Lille (H), Napoli (A), Sabah (H) and Slavia Prague (A). The objective is simple: win the must-win home games, pick up key points away and strengthen the squad — push for Álvarez and keep depth to compete on all fronts.
