COMPLETE GOON
Arsenal have two Mikel Arteta trophies.
Can you fight for the name with those matches?
BY MARK IRWIN OF SUNSPORT
Ainsley Maitland-Niles may be excluded from an Arsenal move through his wonderful call to England.
Wolves have noted that a £ 15 million offer for the 23-year-old SUV, which is seen as a direct replacement for Matt Doherty, will be rejected.
But Arsenal demanded at least £ 25 million for Saturday’s Man of the Match forward player opposite Liverpool in the Charity Shield.
And now they have doubts and are in a position to further increase the value of their orders after Maitland-Niles joined England’s senior team on Saturday night.
MART MOVE
Arsenal have presented Emiliano Martínez with a new contract.
The Telegraph claims Mikel Arteta is desperate to stay put after his fine form, while Bernd Leno is absent due to injury.
But Martinez has no plans to stay if he goes down to the bank.
Leeds will take you to Elland Road this summer.
PIERRE WE GO
Mikel Arteta is convinced that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will dedicate his long career at the club to a new three-year contract.
Speaking after Arsenal Community Shield’s victory over Liverpool, Arteta said: “My task is to check to convince you that you are in the right position at the right time.
“I think they gave us that and then we have to do the documents and it takes a little time.”
ASSEMBLY OF AUBA
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang paid tribute to Chadwick Boseman by calling the Community Shield the “Avengers Cup”.

DODGER ARTFUL
Mikel Arteta proved he can still make a cashier job with scrumptious in Arsenal Community Shield’s win over Liverpool.
What do you think, Gunners fans? Would you take Arteta to your midfield now?

BUY EXCHANGE
Samuel Umtiti has reportedly been offered to Lyon in exchange for Memphis Depay.
Tancredi Palmeri says Ronald Koeman will bring his former Dutch winger to the Camp Nou this summer.
And that means that Umtiti, who has been connected with Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal this summer, can return to his old betting box in Lyon.
OH DANI BOY
Dani Ceballos appears to have dropped a rate of moves that will return to Arsenal this season.
The Gunners are in talks with Real Madrid to extend the midfield’s transfer for a year.
And it looks like Ceballos will be from Mikel Arteta’s team on the new crusade as he celebrated Arsenal’s Community Shield victory over Liverpool.

AND THE EMI IS GOING TO …
Leeds forecast a £ 20 million surprise for Arsenal goalkeeper Emi Martinez.
The Mail claims that Marcelo Bielsa will bring his Argentine compatriot to Elland Road this summer.
Martinez needs to be Arsenal’s new number one, but he knows that Bernd Leno will likely regain his position between the posts after recovering from injury.
Leeds is excited and Martinez can jump at the prospect of playing with Bielsa.
THE ANCIENT HABITS LIVE A LONG
Santi Cazorla would possibly be 35 years old.
But judging by that rocket when he debuted with Al Sadd, the former Gooner still has it.
What a success!

HE IS A TUTOR
Emi Martínez tried yesterday to beat Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk, forward of the Community Shield penalty shootout.
The 90 minutes of action was up, but for the 6-foot-5 in Argentina, the mind games were just beginning.
When referee André Marriner brought the captains together on the day that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Virgil van Dijk were to take the first shot, Martinez believed he would also join the referee.
And when Van Dijk, assuming the role in the absence of Jordan Henderson and James Milner, hopefully made the decision that the Reds would pass first, the Argentine had something to say.
Martinez, 27, looked at the Dutchman and asked, “Of course?”
“Are you sure?”

WHO SAID?
Arsenal are reportedly a double whammy for Brentford’s duo Said Benrahma and David Raya.
A source said in 90 Minutes that Raya was chosen as Martinez’s replacement.
Benrahma also caught the attention of Arsenal after a series of performances.
ATM GIFT
Gabriel Magalhaes drove fans crazy when he commented on David Luiz’s Instagram video.

MAIT IS BACK!
Arsenal may have made a 180-degree turn in their resolve to sell Ainsley Maitland-Niles.
Wolves are among the clubs keeping a close eye on the 23-year-old.
But according to The Mirror, the Gunners plan to stay with him for the 2020/21 season.
The source says: “Maitland-Niles is now only in Arsenal, he will forget about the discussions about movements and only in locating a position in the Emirates.”
WORK OF ART
Arsenal fans posted this symbol on social media today.
ON YOUR TUESDAYS …
Emiliano Martínez is ready to sign a new contract with Arsenal, to The Telegraph.
The goalkeeper has two seasons left on his current contract; the club has presented an extension.
He got between the sticks while Bernd Leno was knocked out with injury.
ELL FIRE
Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott mocked Arsenal after their Community Shield win, calling it the McDonald’s Trophy.
The Londoner and former Fulham scoffed at the Gunners’ win on penalties over their Reds.
Elliott’s teenager, an unused submarine at the Wembley game, posted on Instagram: “I’m worried about the McDonald’s brother trophy anyway.”
He then added six Champions Leagues in reference to the Merseysiders, the first prize in Europe a record number of times.
Arsenal controlled to qualify for the Champions League final once, when they lost to Barcelona in 2006.

WORTH IT
Arsenal have told Newcastle to stump up £25million for Ainsley Maitland-Niles – after rejecting Wolves’ cheeky £15m offer.
The Gunners are chasing the most productive value for their young Academy star, who the fit boy in yesterday’s Community Shield won over Liverpool.
Spurs manager José Mourinho, also the 23-year-old all-rounder, first called up through England manager Gareth Southgate this week.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is reshaping his squad and thinks he can use Maitland-Niles money to fund rookies.
But that number can scare the magpies.
‘DARK HORSES’
Danny Murphy has asked Arsenal to fight for the sensible 4 next season, as long as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang stays and the signings are good.
Writing for the Mail, he said: “If they can raise a few more signings, I think Arsenal can be a dark horse for the four most sensitive.
“As it is, they would cause disorder to the groups but, no matter how much they have run, sometimes they are still 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 can get Dani Ceballos on loan, their most productive player at the end of last season, and point to Thomas Partey of Atlético de Madrid, which would give them tenacity and physicality in midfield, I think they ‘have a squad to challenge the Chelsea and Manchester United for the Champions League places.
“On the other hand, none of this will do much unless Aubameyang puts a pencil on the paper.”
GUNNER WIN 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 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
Mesut Ozil, in disgrace, congratulated his teammates after the Community Shield victory.
Once again, the German left Mikel Arteta’s squad.

PRESSURE PIERRE
Darren Bent has suggested to the Gunners that they respond to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s demands after the victory over Liverpool.
I’m sure each and every Arsenal will agree with this tweet.

AUBA AND IN
Mikel Arteta has revealed that he believes Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang “convinced him to stay” with Arsenal.
He then added: “My task is to check to convince you that you are in the right position at the right time,” Arteta told BBC Radio Five Live.
“I think they gave us that and then we have to do the documents and it takes a little time.”
GOOD MORNING ARSENAL FANS
It’s all the more Wembley glory for Mikel Arteta, as his team raised the shield of the net on Saturday.
Star guy Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang grabbed the headlines with a sensational debut attack before scoring the winning penalty.
His long career in consulting after the game and hinted that he would signal a lucrative new contract.
He said: “We will see the next few days. Today we get the trophy and that’s it.
“We’re getting better. There are still paintings to be done, but I am satisfied and it is an exciting time to be an Arsenal player.”
Arteta was more positive about his long term, admitting he’s “close” to signing a lucrative deal.
In another news of plays, goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez is searched through Aston Villa for a move of 10 million pounds.
But Arsenal will ask for at least double that if they are tempted to make money.
Defender Rob Holding is also due to leave and is expected to sign up for Newcastle on a one-season loan.
One player who will not register in the short term is Houssem Aouar of Lyon after testing positive for coronavirus.
The midfielder is a key target for Arteta when looking at his squad.
