On this Noni Madueke situation and the strength of the online reaction from Arsenal fans… can anyone recall a similar response from supporters (online or otherwise) to a potential big-money transfer? Off the top of my head, I can’t remember seeing anything quite like this.

Arsenal have completed the signing of Christian Norgaard from Brentford. My understanding is that the deal is worth an initial ÂŁ10m with ÂŁ2m in potential add-ons. Denmark international has signed a two-year deal with the option of a third year. #AFC Telegraph Football

Arsenal's pursuit of Noni Madueke has provoked more anger (online, at least) than any proposed big-money transfer I can recall. The big question, then: why do #AFC want to bring him in? Here's a look at the numbers, and how he compares to Saka/Martinelli telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/…

Understand that Noni Madueke to Arsenal is now effectively a done deal (still needs a medical etc), as first reported by Fabrizio Romano tonight. Telegraph Football revealed on Sunday that Chelsea expected around ÂŁ50m for Madueke. They appear to have been successful. #AFC #CFC

Noni Madueke is now set to become the seventh player to move from Chelsea to Arsenal in the past six years. Luiz, Willian, Jorginho, Havertz, Sterling, Kepa, Madueke. Combined cost of around ÂŁ140 million.

Football is a strange world, isn't it? A year ago, Vinai Venkatesham and Edu Gaspar were CEO and sporting director at Arsenal. Now they find themselves on opposite sides of this weird Forest v Spurs situation.

Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has told Sky Sports the club's demotion from the Europa League to the Conference League is "probably one of the greatest injustices that has ever happened in European football" #CPFC

Arsenal and Sporting are on the brink of a complete agreement for the transfer of Viktor Gyokeres. Initial fee of ÂŁ55 million. Final details are now being nailed down. Andrea Berta almost has his man. More shortly Telegraph Football #AFC

Arsenal are expecting to complete the signing of Cristhian Mosquera in time for the 21yo to join their pre-season tour of Singapore/Hong Kong. Valencia wanted around £17m but my understanding is that #AFC have succeeded in lowering the price below £15m. telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/…

If all goes to plan over the next few days, Arsenal will have made six first-team signings before the start of their pre-season tour. That has never happened before at #AFC in the 23 years since the current transfer window system was introduced.

BREAKING - Newcastle United remain steadfast in their message that Alexander Isak is not for sale this summer in light of an enquiry from Liverpool. View is this is a deliberate ploy to try and unsettle the striker. As things stand, he’s not agitating to leave but we shall see

Progress on Ethan Nwaneri’s contract is fantastic news for Arsenal, especially because there were genuine concerns earlier this summer that it might not happen. Nwaneri always wanted to stay at #AFC and made that clear — but that doesn’t mean it has been easy to sort.

Arsenal want to sign teenage striker Will Wright from Salford City. The 17-year-old made his League Two debut last season. #AFC

Exc: Ethan Nwaneri has now signed his new five-year contract at Arsenal. Deal is fully agreed and done. Another huge boost for #AFC after Lewis-Skelly’s contract was agreed earlier this summer. Telegraph Football telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/…

For all the (understandable) doubts in the Arsenal fanbase about Noni Madueke’s arrival from Chelsea, I’m told Bukayo Saka & Declan Rice gave him glowing reviews when talking to Mikel Arteta/the club. Both players evidently think Madueke is good enough to make an impact at #AFC.

Arsenal have named two 15-year-olds in their travelling squad for pre-season in Asia. Attacking midfielder Max Dowman (born December 2009) and defender Marli Salmon (August 2009) are both on the plane. #AFC
