Kepa for £5m is a really good piece of business. No brainer really at that price. Still quite young for a keeper, but loads of PL experience and leaves plenty of money to (hopefully) be spent elsewhere this window. Good to get the No.2 keeper sorted quickly as well this summer, no messing about.

Some thoughts on the striker situation at Arsenal and the anger that already seems to bubbling up from under the surface. Why does it seemingly have to be team Sesko vs team Gyokeres? Why does everything feel like it has to be so extreme 👇

New deal for Gabriel will be huge for Arsenal. My player of the season. Absolute leader in this team. Keeping him had to be a top priority. It will be a big statement to others in a summer when renewals are just as important as new signings. It will also be an excellent start for Andrea Berta.

Ah what a lovely moment that is right before half-time for Tierney, lovely right foot volleyed finish from Ben White's cross. You could see the delight on his face when he celebrated. That meant a lot to him. 1-0 at the break.

Really good 45 minutes from Arsenal. Only thing missing is a goal, obviously. Overall though, that was very good. Need exactly the same as that in the second half.

Arteta on Timber: “He had surgery on Tuesday morning on his ankle. He has been feeling that discomfort for many, many weeks.” Back for pre-season? “We don’t know yet. It will depend how the recovery goes. It will be weeks. Hopefully it will be somewhere near pre-season.”

If a player like Rodrygo comes on the market when you are looking to strengthen in wide areas, you simply have to enter the conversation. Arsenal didn’t with Kvaratskhelia, which still baffles me, they have to Rodrygo. That doesn’t mean they get him obviously, but it’s correct that they explore it.

Contract talks with Thomas Partey intensifying this week. Partey's agent was a guest at Sunday's game, with both sides now pushing for a swift resolution one way or the other so that they have clarity ahead of the summer. No agreement reached yet, but both sides would prefer that he stays in London.

Exclusive: Jurrien Timber is set to undergo an ankle procedure. The #AFC full-back has been managing fitness issues in recent weeks and the club's medical staff have decided he needs a procedure to address the problem. It remains unclear how long he will be ruled out.

Really firm public messages from Josh Kroenke and Mikel Arteta yesterday about the summer. Arteta's "Finish the season, go to the beach, enjoy a few days and make sure the ones upstairs, they do what they have to do" quote was particularly eye-catching. Big few months ahead.

Fair play. Given the week Arsenal have had, the physical and emotional toll of it all, that was some effort to come back from two goals down at half-time to get a draw at Anfield. Credit to the players.

Feeling the pain this morning. A tie that could have gone Arsenal's way, but one that again exposed the flaws we all know about. Couldn't have asked for much more performance wise. They were largely excellent, as they have been throughout the CL, but Arsenal just need more players who can score.
