On the eve of the season opener at Old Trafford, we break down Arsenal’s 2025-26 season preview and transfer window analysis, including deep dives on Zubimendi, Gyökeres, Madueke, and Nørgaard. We cover key departures and contract updates like Thomas Partey’s release, Tierney, Jorginho, and Tomiyasu. We also talk Club World Cup with Real Madrid and Inter Miami, share personal summer sports experiences from League’s Cup to Cubs fandom, dive into the fashion and marketing of football kits including Arsenal and Atlanta United, review staff moves like Cuesta to Parma and Heinze joining Arsenal, and make our bold predictions for the upcoming season — top scorer, relegation picks, best XI, and player of the year.
