Get all the latest news from the Emirates right here with our daily round-up…

NOT GOOD ENOUGH

ARSENAL legend Paul Merson has taken a massive swipe at the Gunners… despite their incredible nine-game winning run.

The pundit, 50, has called the North Londoners "all over the place defensively", saying they're in for a real hiding soon.

RIDE IT AND WEEP

HECTOR BELLERIN is seemingly not a fan of  Boris Johnson judging by his latest Instagram post.

The Arsenal defender posted a photo of him on what many Londoners still call a "Boris Bike" – and he made it clear what he thinks of the Tory politician.

MONACO GAMBLE ON HENRY

MONACO have sacked Leonardo Jardim, with Thierry Henry their top choice to replace him.

Jardim was in charge of the French club for the past five seasons and led them to their first Ligue 1 title in 17 years in 2017.

IAN WRIGHT

SunSport columnist Ian Wright says Jose Mourinho's struggles have given Unai Emery time to find his feet at Arsenal.

LAC'S YOUR LOT

ALEXANDRE LACAZETTE has warned Arsenal not to get ahead of them and think about a Champions League spot, despite their nine game winning run.

The French forward thinks it's too early to talk about a top four finish and instead wants his team to continue working hard and playing in the form that they've found.

KITTED OUT

ADIDAS have paired up with Arsenal in a mammoth £300million kit partnership deal, as they replace Puma as the Gunners' official kit sponsors.

The deal will be effective as of July 1, 2019 and they'll join the likes of Manchester United, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich who also have their kits manufactured by the sportswear giant.

DOUBLE DOWN

GARY NEVILLE has ruled out Chelsea and Arsenal's Premier League title hopes despite both clubs' red-hot form.

Arsenal are in fine form having won their last six league matches, but the Sky Sports pundit believes challenging Manchester City and Liverpool at the end of the season will be a step too far for Unai Emery's side.
