🎙️| @FabrizioRomano on Edu: “There are more than two clubs asking around and exploring about the situation of Edu Gaspar. There are clubs interested in his work, vision, ambitions, and ideas, and what he did with Arsenal is something really important.” #afc
🎙️| @FabrizioRomano: “And this is why there is a lot of interest growing around Edu in the last few months. Some clubs are already exploring this possibility internally at the moment.”
🎙️| @FabrizioRomano: “There is no negotiation between Edu or any club, but they are considering his name as one of the potential candidates for the future. From what I’m told, Edu is 100% focusing on Arsenal and he’s 100% focused on the Arsenal project.” #afc
🎙️| @FabrizioRomano on Edu: “He’s actively working on signings for the future, on contract situations, and so he’s focusing on Arsenal and not negotiating with any club.” #afc

🗣️| Granit Xhaka: “I was very, very close [to leaving Arsenal] and when I say very, very close, it was like you guys have the stuff here and I only needed to take the stuff and to leave the door. This moment, you don't see anybody near you.” [@BBCSport Football Focus] #afc
🗣️| Granit Xhaka: “This is the biggest problem. You are sitting in a dark place, feeling alone. You know you have people around but you have no chance to touch them - and this is how I felt.” #afc
🗣️| Granit Xhaka: “You try not to go so deep and to see the message what they [internet trolls] are writing, what the people are speaking in front of the TV but you can't ignore [it].” #afc
🗣️| Mikel Arteta on whether Bukayo Saka’s playing time is sustainable:
“Look at the top players in the world, they play 70 matches every three days and make the difference and win the game. If you want to be at the top you have to be able to do that.” [@Arsenal] #afc
🗣️| Mikel Arteta: “And if we start to put something different in the mind of our young players I think we are making a huge mistake, because it’s one yes, one no. Now I don’t play now in astroturf and I don’t play.” #afc
🗣️| Mikel Arteta: “I don’t want that. I want them to be ruthless, every three days, they’re going to be knocking at my door I want to play and I want to win the game.” #afc
🗣️| William Gallas on Gabriel Martinelli: “I think Arsenal have to get that deal with Martinelli signed as quickly as possible. I’m sure he’s hearing so many things about him, like Real Madrid being interested. Sometimes the player can be confused.” [@GentingCasinoUK] #afc
🗣️| William Gallas: “At the moment I think he’s [Martinelli] playing well and Arsenal have to close that deal as soon as possible so he feels better in his mind.” #afc
🗣️| William Gallas: “I don’t think he’s good enough for Real Madrid yet. In football after two or three games, everyone is raving about that player, ‘he’s magnificent’ or ‘he’s a top-class player’ but no, calm down, let him have a great season to get to another level.” #afc
🗣️| Rio Ferdinand on Gabriel Magalhaes: “As centre backs, you don’t really want to be talked about a lot during a game. If you can just ghost through most games and put an eight out of 10 performance in you’re flying. [@FIVEUK] #afc
🗣️| Rio Ferdinand: “But every week he’s in the headlines or he’s in underneath with a little bullet point next to his name and a bad incident. I don’t know if you replace him. Sometimes someone with that energy, as much as you maybe call it a liability, he’s performing.” #afc
🗣️| Rio Ferdinand: “Time will tell if he’s someone you want to stick by. I don’t like emotional defenders, that’s what I always say about centre backs, I don’t like emotional ones who get caught up in the moment in games.” #afc
