WORTH IT
Arsenal has asked Newcastle to win 25 million pounds for Ainsley Maitland-Niles, after rejecting the Wolves’ bratish offer of 15 million pounds.
The Gunners are looking for the most productive award for their young Star Academy, who lived up to Community Shield’s victory over Liverpool yesterday.
Spurs manager Jose Mourinho also needs the 23-year-old, who first called through England manager Gareth Southgate this week.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is remodeling his equipment and believes he can use Maitland-Niles cash to fund recruits.
But that number can scare the magpies.
‘DARK HORSES’
Danny Murphy has asked Arsenal to fight for the 4 most sensitive next season, as long as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang stays and the signings are good.
Writing for the Mail, he said: “If you can upload a few more signatures, I think Arsenal can be a black horse for the four most sensitive.
“As things stand, they would cause disdain to teams, but no matter how much they do smart races, they remain vulnerable.
“Willian is a wonderful signing, with his joy and his winning mentality. Gabriel Magalhaes, Lille’s central defender, is almost over the line.
“If they get dani Ceballos’ transfer – their most productive player at the end of last season – and point out Thomas Partey of Atletico Madrid, who would give them tenacity and physicality in midfield, I think they have a team to challenge Chelsea and Manchester United for champions League positions.
“Again, none of this will do much unless Aubameyang puts a pen on the paper.”
GUNNER WINS IT?
This is how the start of the season is for Arsenal…
NOTHING GOOD
Matthew Upson claimed that players such as Emiliano Martinez, Rob Holding and Ainsley Maitland-Niles played Against Liverpool to “create” a move away from Arsenal.
He told BBC Radio Five Live: “It’s interesting. Sometimes, you think, do they play to create a movement?
“Or generate interest in them to take players forward if the player passes or if the club overtakes them?
“Hold, you’d say he’s a player who potentially needs to move on, but you might have a list of other central defenders you’d spend besides Holding before him.”
WIZARD OF OZ

ON YOUR TUESDAYS …
Gabriel Martinelli ‘walks again’ and seeks to regain his full form for Arsenal.
The teenage prodigy was last noticed as an unused replacement in the 2–1 loss at Brighton in June, before a knee injury prematurely ended his first season with the Gunners.
Although set to be missing until 2021, the Brazilian is still being backed by fans to make an impact.
And it turns out that the same 19-year-old has a transparent concept of where he’s most productive to do it: he’ll gladly sacrifice himself for the team.
GUNNER’S STAY
Arsenal’s target, Dominik Szoboszlai, has to stay at RB Leipzig because he needs to “play another season in the Champions League”.
He told the club’s official website: “I spoke to my circle of relatives and my agent.
“I need to play the Champions League season for Salzburg.”
TOO SOON
Newcastle leads the race to signal Rob Holding’s loan to David Ornstein.
The two clubs are expected to reach a deal following the Community Shield crash.
Holding is expected to enroll in Steve Bruce’s team on a season loan, but is unlikely to have the option of a permanent deal.
The defender has played 39 Premier League games with the Gunners since arriving from Bolton four years ago.
I’ll do it sometime.
Mikel Arteta has been inspired by Willian’s winning mentality since arriving at Arsenal from Chelsea.

“That’s the feeling I felt from the first day I met Willian.
“He is not satisfied with what he has done in his career, which is a lot, and will bring special qualities to our team.
