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 disruption to teams, but as long as they do smart races, they will remain vulnerable.
“Willian is a wonderful signing, with his enthusiasm and his winning mentality. Gabriel Magalhaes, Lille’s central defender, is almost over the line.
“If they get the transfer of Dani Ceballos – 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.
“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 Emiliano Martinez, Rob Holding and Ainsley Maitland-Niles played 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 to create interest in them to advance players if the player passes or if the club moves 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

GOOD MORNING ARSENAL FANS
It’s more Wembley’s glory for Mikel Arteta when his team raised the net shield on Saturday.

His long career was questioned after the game and he hinted that he would signal a lucrative new contract.
He said: “We’ll see you in the next few days. We get the trophy today and that’s it.

The midfielder is a key goal for Arteta in front of his team.
Loop
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang mocked his awkwardness in the FA Cup clash by linking the Community Shield with a SAFETY CEINTURE.
The Gabonese forward made his Arsenal teammates laugh after his 2–1 win over Chelsea this month by dropping the FA Cup trophy on the turf.
But after scoring the decisive penalty in Saturday’s victory in the Community Shield penalty shootout over Liverpool, Aubameyang took steps to keep it from repeating itself.
When posting a video on social media, the Gunners captain showed the trophy in the team coach’s seat with a seat belt.
Unable to involve his laughter, Aubameyang joked: “Very important, the seat belt. Very important. Then I can’t let him down!”

GUESSING GAME
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang continued to make enthusiasts guess when asked about his future, he admitted his enthusiasm for being an Arsenal player.

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 it is about to be missing until 2021, the Brazilian is still subsidized through enthusiasts 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 are leading the race to sign Rob Holding on loan, according 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.
