JULIAN ALVAREZ HAS MADE HIS DECISION! The Atlético Madrid striker's future is back in the spotlight following Arsenal's summer pursuit, while Mikel Merino continues his extraordinary form, and there's growing optimism surrounding Kai Havertz's injury.

In today's Arsenal News Show, Tom Canton discusses the latest surrounding Alvarez after a summer in which Arsenal explored a blockbuster move for the Argentina international. What does his decision mean for the possibility of the Gunners returning for him in the future?

Meanwhile, Mikel Merino is INCREDIBLE! The Arsenal midfielder produced another sensational performance for Spain, coming off the bench and scoring twice as his country fought back to beat Croatia 2-1. His winner arrived in the 89th minute as Spain secured their place in the Nations League quarter-finals.

Merino's remarkable goal threat continues to give Mikel Arteta another dimension. Is he now one of the most underrated players in this Arsenal squad, and how important could his ability in front of goal prove over the course of the season?

There's also some Kai Havertz optimism ahead of Arsenal's Premier League return. Havertz returned from international duty with a muscle injury, but reports have suggested there is hope the problem will not prove to be a long-term one.
