Former Arsenal star Ray Parlour has noted that the club are about to make the mistakes of allowing Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli leave the Emirates Stadium.

He pointed out if this happens, the could be undermining all the hard work being done by manager Mikel Arteta to put a solid team together.

The former defender said that this would not be the first time the Gunners have allowed such scenario play out, recalling the case of Robin van Persie and Samir Nasri.

“We’ve seen it happen so many times at Arsenal where people have gone on free transfers,” Parlour told talkSPORT.

“So now you’ve got to highlight who you want to keep, who’s your players going forward.

“I’m sure there’ll be so much interest for Saka. All the big boys will come in and try to sign him,” Parlour added.

“So now sit down with him, get him on a good contract. Martinelli’s in the same boat – they’ve got to try to nail him down as well.”

Both wingers have been in scintillating form for Mikel Arteta’s side this season, helping them stay top of the league table after nine matches.

Saka and Martinelli will hopefully start again for the Gunners as the hope to continue their fine run in the league as they face Leeds United at Elland Road on Sunday.

Chelsea are set to sanction their first summer transfer under their new manager, Xabi Alonso.

According to the BBC Sport, the Blues are ‘open’ to selling Filip Jorgensen this summer after the goalkeeper indicated his desire to leave Stamford Bridge.

Jorgensen joined the Premier League west London club two seasons ago from Villarreal.

The 24-year-old shot-stopper was expected to compete for the number one position with goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, but he made just 11 Premier League appearances over the two seasons.

However, while the arrival of Alonso to Stamford Bridge could lead to a change in fortunes for Jorgensen, the report added that the Danish star has already expressed his desire to leave Chelsea this summer to get more regular playing game-time elsewhere.

Chelsea had blocked a potential exit for Jorgensen in the January transfer window, but the Premier League west London club are now open to a sale, with European and English clubs expected to explore a deal for the goalkeeper.

Arsenal legend, Paul Merson, has handed his old club two signings to make in the summer.

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has picked the Red Devils defender Luke Shaw as the most improved player in the Premier League following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.

Speaking on his BBC podcast, Rooney said, “I think, for me, Luke Shaw. I think Luke Shaw has been the most improved player this season.

“I know he is an experienced player now, but I think his level this season has been much better than it has been in recent seasons.

“People might look at Kobbie Mainoo but I don’t think he’s improved. It was just the fact he wasn’t playing under the former manager so it wasn’t good or bad.”

Shaw enjoyed one of his most consistent seasons at Man United and started all of Man United’s Premier League games.
