Halftime thoughts?
Arsenal [1] - 0 Manchester City - Martin Odegaard 2'
[Florian Plettenberg]🚨🟣 Aston Villa have inquired about Mathys Tel as a potential replacement for Jhon Duran, but Tottenham remain the most serious contender, actively negotiating with Bayern. Manchester United and Arsenal have also shown interest and spoken to Tel’s agent, but no decision made
[Simon Collings] Arsenal have been charged by the FA for the way their players surrounded referee Michael Oliver after he issued a red card to Myles Lewis-Skelly last Saturday. Arsenal have until Monday to respond to the charge that their players behaved in an "improper manner".
[Florian Plettenberg] 🚨🆕 Understand that Tottenham have started negotiations with FC Bayern over a move for Mathys #Tel ✔️
[Florian Plettenberg] 🚨🔴 Four Premier League teams are specifically interested in Mathys #Tel. They have gathered all the information, are in contact with Tel’s agent, and some have already reached out to Bayern: Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Tottenham.

Girona [1] - 0 Arsenal - Arnaut Danjuma 28'
[SkySports] Aston Villa's position is that Watkins is not for sale, which makes it unlikely a deal will be done in this window
Factoid: Arsenal have already completed two of the five most expensive transfers worldwide this year for players aged 28 and older: Merino (€32M) and Raya (€31.9M). @billycarpy.bsky.social on Bluesky
[Fabrizio Romano] 🚨🟡🔵 EXCL: Al Nassr are on the verge of reaching verbal agreement with Aston Villa for Jhon Durán for €75m fee with add-ons. ❗️ But formal steps needed as Al Nassr also have advanced negotiations in place for Victor Boniface with Bayer… …and only ONE striker will join. 🇸🇦
[Alex Crook] #AVFC not happy with timing of #AFC approach for Watkins given they have a huge game tonight but as detailed here it is believed Watkins would be open to the move if the two clubs can agree a few between now and Monday. One to watch with interest.
[David Ornstein] 🚨 Man Utd interested in signing Mathys Tel if Bayern Munich sanction loan departure before deadline. #MUFC not progressing move yet as prioritising exits + contact with 19yo’s camp rather than #FCBayern - but temporary switch carries appeal @TheAthleticFC
[MiguelDelaney] Tel himself is known to be very open to Arsenal, both due to the status of the club right now, but also the possibility for football due to the thinness of Arteta's attacking options
[BILD] Tel has ruled out a move to Chelsea due to strong competition, similar to Bayern. He wants guaranteed playing time if he leaves. Manchester United, Tottenham, and Arsenal are also interested, with Arsenal needing reinforcements due to injuries to Saka and Jesus.
