Declan Rice questions Arsenal's mentality after crushing Fulham defeat

Image
Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice has admitted the Gunners must work on their mentality after Sunday's surprise Premier League defeat to Fulham. Mikel Arteta's side have won just one of their last six games in all competitions and are without a win in their last three league outings - a run which has seen them fall from first to fourth since Christmas. After battling to a 1-1 draw with Liverpool, Arsenal were shockingly wasteful in a 1-0 defeat to West Ham United, but Arteta acknowledged this latest loss to Fulham needed to be judged separately because of just how poor the team was. Rice reflected to Sky Sports : "It is not good enough. The standards set over the course of the season have not been met in the last two games. "We let the fans down and we let ourselves down. We need to take more control. We need to have more self-belief, more desire, the mentality needs to be better. Rice was frustrated after the Game / Clive Rose/GettyImages "That’s where we need...

Image
Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus has insisted he has no issues with Brazil teammate Ederson after the pair clashed in the Gunners' recent 1-0 win over Manchester City. Jesus, who left City for Arsenal in the summer of 2022, was attempting to run the clock down after Gabriel Martinelli's late goal and earned himself a push from Ederson, after which the two exchanged words on the pitch. Now back together on international duty with Brazil, Jesus has insisted his spat with Ederson was purely in the heat of the moment. "I have a good relationship, not just with Ederson, but on the pitch it's normal," Jesus said. "Ederson and I spent a lot of time together at City and we were very happy. He knows how fond I am of him and I also know how fond he is of me. "But on the pitch he defends his team and I defend mine. It was a moment when we were winning and it's not easy to beat them. We were winning and I held the ball there. Anyway, he ended up giving me a push, ...

Mikel Arteta reveals plan to help Kai Havertz settle at Arsenal

Image
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has vowed to continue supporting Kai Havertz in his ongoing efforts to settle at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners brought Havertz over from rivals Chelsea this summer for £65m, with Arteta determined to help the German international finally live up the superstar potential he showed earlier in his career. In his first nine Game s, however, Havertz has failed to make any major impact at Arsenal and the 24-year-old, who has been converted into a midfielder, has not started either of the team's last two Premier League Game s. Despite his slow start, Havertz retains Arteta's faith and the boss has explained how he plans to get the most out of his expensive experiment. "Trying to help him as much as possible," Arteta said. "Be next to him, give him the tools, confidence and minutes to exploit his talent. "There are so many parts to his Game that he is doing exceptionally well and we know he has to keep improving. As with any play...

Rob Holding attracting transfer interest as Arsenal make decision on future

Arsenal defender Rob Holding is attracting a significant level of transfer interest from the Premier League and across various top European leagues, 90min understands. Holding, who surprisingly joined Arsenal from lower league Bolton in 2016 after making only 31 senior club appearances in his career to that point, has entered the final year of his Gunners contract – although there is an option to extend it until the summer of 2025. The Englishman made 39 appearances in all competitions in 2020/21, but the emergence of Gabriel Magalhaes as a near ever-present starter in his second season and the 2021 arrival of Ben White pushed him down the pecking order. William Saliba's return from loan and breakout campaign in 2022/23 also further hurt Holding's chances of re-establishing himself with the Gunners. READ THE LATEST NEWS FROM 90MIN'S TALKING TRANSFERS TEAM feed 90min understands that Holding will be allowed to leave the club before the transfer window closes at the end of...
