According to Just Arsenal News, Arsenal is expected to make an offer for Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres this summer.
Mikel Arteta says Martin Odegaard’s 79th minute substitution v Villa was due to an injury concern.
Quarterfinals:
Emi Martinez following Villa’s win over Arsenal, “You spend 10 or 11 years somewhere there is always love. I still have friends here. I will always love Arsenal.”
Declan Rice following Arsenal’s defeat to Villa, “I still feel like there is a lot of twists and turns to be had this season. Six finals to go in the Premier League, and we will give it everything.”
Former Premier League and USA goalkeeper Brad Friedel, “If Raya is the long-term number one, they’ll have to let Ramsdale go. I think the stats back Arsenal’s faith in Raya. That’s fine, but Ramsdale is too good to be sitting on the bench.”
Holland’s Danny Makkelie will be the head referee for Bayern Munich v Arsenal.
