Arsenal Daily Briefing

The confetti has settled and the summer begins. Arteta calls for Arsenal to be 'ambitious, fast and smart' in the transfer window; Real Madrid reportedly eye Declan Rice — but Rice fires back with 'lock in or get locked out.' Transfer targets, Arteta's contract extension, and a farewell to Katie McCabe.

North London turned red yesterday — half a million fans lined the streets for the Premier League trophy parade, even as the sting of Budapest remained fresh. Declan Rice vowed Arsenal will be back. Gabriel posted his thanks. And as Arteta heads into his review, Dani Olmo name is already surfacing as the summer begins.

Arsenal lost the Champions League final to PSG on penalties — Gabriel's decisive miss the cruellest of endings. Havertz put us ahead, Dembélé levelled from the spot, and after 120 minutes it came down to a shootout. Eze and Gabriel missed. We wake up as Premier League champions — the parade is today, 2pm, Islington. Come and celebrate what this group has done.
