Just Arsenal News

Arsenal fans are like bears with sore heads this morning after seeing a promising start and early goal against Everton cancelled out which led to the Gunners hanging on a bit for a point. The result meant that Tottenham went up to fifth, while Arsenal lie in seventh, a massive 12 points off the league leaders, Manchester United.

The Gunners though could be competing with Turkish giants Fenerbahce, who reportedly have made contact with the French club over the sale of their talismanic striker.
