Arsenal Daily Briefing

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."

Arsenal are Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years. Bournemouth held Man City to a 1-1 draw on Tuesday night — Junior Kroupi scored first, Haaland levelled late, but it wasn't enough. Arteta's squad gathered at London Colney to watch the full-time whistle arrive. Mass celebrations followed across North London, at the Emirates, and even in Downing Street.

Arsenal survived a nerve-shredding second half to beat Burnley 1-0 thanks to a Kai Havertz header off a Saka corner. They sit five points clear. Tonight, Manchester City host Bournemouth — if City drop points, Arsenal are champions before Sunday. If not, Crystal Palace on May 24 is the decider. We break down the win, the title maths, the Havertz VAR scare, and what Crystal Palace's manager just said.
