Maradona in 2008: "I am a fan of #Arsenal when I am in England. When I was 19 they tried to buy me and another player from Argentinos Juniors – around the time Ricky Villa and Ossie Ardiles signed for Tottenham. But it didn’t happen. I sometimes wonder what might have happened."
“I give Nico my full support. To say it’s a threat to him to finish his career [at Arsenal], it’s not like that.” Good stuff from Arteta on Pepe and why tomorrow night could be the perfect time for him to bounce back from Elland Road
Arteta on Balogun: "He’s a player I want to stay at the club. He’s part of our DNA and myself and the club are working to try to extend his contract, trying to change the situation we are in at the moment with him and trying to convince him that this is the right place for him."
Arteta confirms Pepe has apologised both publicly and in person to his team-mates. Says tomorrow's game is the perfect chance for him to respond straight away. Says the red card will certainly not be the beginning of the end of his Arsenal career.
Saka and Willian haven't travelled to Norway, but Saka will be available for Sunday's game against Wolves (Willian hoping to be fit). Luiz is back in the squad and is in Norway. Partey still not ready. Elneny and Kolasinac still out and following Covid protocols.

The Gunners prospect lost control at the wheel and his car somehow stayed upright before ending in the bushes.
The smash reportedly took place on Saturday afternoon when Willock was on his way to training.
And he went on to play in Arsenal's 0-0 draw at Leeds the following day before being subbed off just before the hour mark.
An eyewitness told the Daily Mail: "I didn't know who he was. He was a bit shaken, but fine. ⚽ Read our Arsenal live blogfor the latest news from The Emirates
"I got out of the car and I went to his window, which was blacked out. You could see that he was trying to reverse back out of the verge.
"The back wheel was missing but you could see the hub spinning out. He wound the window down and I said: 'You can't reverse'. He let out a big scream.
"I said: 'You went around the corner a bit fast'.
"He said: 'I know, I'm an idiot'. He said he was on his way to training, for Arsenal. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/13304313/arsenal-joe-willock-crash-140k-mercedes-motorway/#
