Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
Arsenal are still riding high after their impressive 3-1 victory over Bayern Munich. The Gunners sit top of both the Premier League and Champions League and will look to maintain their strong start to the season against Chelsea at the weekend.
Mikel Arteta ’s side enjoyed a memorable European night on Wednesday as goals from Jurrien Timber, Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli announced Arsenal as contenders to win the Champions League. The Gunners have a perfect European record so far this term and have lost just once in the Premier League.
Arteta’s team have a six-point lead at the top of the league and will not want to allow their rivals to close in with a slip-up against Chelsea. Here, Mirror Football takes a look at some of the stories around Arsenal.
Arsenal get revenge warning
Harry Kane has warned Arsenal that Bayern Munich will be better prepared when the two sides next meet in the Champions League. The England captain predicts that their paths will cross again in the competition’s knockout rounds, where Bayern will seek revenge against the Gunners.
Kane felt that his Bayern team-mates competed well in the first half, having gone in level at the interval. However, while his side’s intensity dipped, Arsenal maintained their energy after the break

“They won the first and second balls. Set pieces, we knew they would be dangerous,” Kane said. “ I’m sure we’ll see them [Arsenal] again in the later stages of the Champions League.”
He added: “It’s our first loss of the season. We don’t want to panic too much about it. But we will learn about it for sure.”
Ballon d’Or claim
Declan Rice was instrumental to Arsenal’s success against Bayern. The midfielder produced another eye-catching display to demonstrate why he is considered one of the best in the world in his position.
The 26-year-old is set to face off against one of the Premier League’s other leading midfielders in Chelsea’s Moises Caicedo on Sunday. However, Tottenham Hotspur boss Thomas Frank has claimed neither player is as good as PSG ’s Vitinha.
Vitinha of PSG
“Vitinha, best midfielder in the world,” Frank told TNT Sports. “He’ll be the next Ballon d’Or winner for me.”
The Spurs manager’s comments followed his side’s 5-3 defeat to PSG, with Vitinha scoring a hat-trick. It remains to be seen whether Vitinha will be able to emulate his team-mate Ousmane Dembele and win the prestigious individual award next year.
Meanwhile, Rice will be focused on his upcoming battle with Caicedo. The England international has responded to suggestions that he could have a modern-day rivalry with the Chelsea star, similar to the legendary battles between Arsenal hero Patrick Vieira and Manchester United ’s Roy Keane.
Declan Rice and Moises Caicedo
“First and foremost, I have a lot of respect for Moises. I’ve played against him since his Brighton days, back when I was at West Ham,” Rice told CBS Sports. “I voted for him last year in my PFA Team of the Year. I thought he was outstanding and he has started this year incredibly well.
“There are so many comparisons between us, but we are playing different positions. He is a full-blown No6 and I am more of a box-to-box No8. Sunday is going to be an interesting game, but the most important thing is I have a lot of respect for him, like Roy and Patrick did. It’s an exciting battle between us and it’s one that I’ll be ready for, for sure.”

Not Arsenal: Semi Ajayi’s old club target Super Eagles star Dele-Bashiru
Super Eagles midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru has emerged as a top target for Championship side West Bromwich Albion, Soccernet.ng reports.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
The Baggies are looking to bolster their midfield during the January window to sustain their push for promotion to the Premier League.
Currently, West Brom find themselves in 19 position on the Championship table, but they are looking to plug the holes in the team.
Asides from their defensive concerns, the Baggies have struggled for creativity and clinical finishing in the final third.
With 32 goals in 29 games, their output is among the lowest in the top 20 teams. However, with 17 games remaining, the club remains firmly in the hunt for a playoff spot.
According to West Brom Xtra, the club has identified Dele-Bashiru as a key target to solve these issues.
The Super Eagles star is a dynamic attacking midfielder known for his high work rate and ability to contribute goals from deep. His arrival would provide a significant boost to Carlos Corberán’s squad.
Why It Will Be Tough To Get Dele-Bashiru’s Signature
While Dele-Bashiru would be a massive coup for West Brom, getting a deal will be complicated. He is currently on the books at Serie A side Lazio, and the 24-year-old has experienced a turbulent tenure since arriving in Italy two years ago.
Dele-Bashiru has endured inconsistent playing time due to a combination of tactical shifts and minor injuries.
Under manager Maurizio Sarri, he has struggled to cement himself as an indispensable member of the starting XI.
The main challenge for West Brom will likely be in the prestige gap; moving from a top-tier Italian side to the English second tier is often viewed as a step down.
However, the lure of regular football and a path back to the Premier League could be persuasive.
Financially, the deal is feasible. Dele-Bashiru is valued between €7–10 million, which is an okay price point for the Baggies.
If the move materializes, he will join the list of Super Eagles stars to have represented the club, including Semi Ajayi and the legendary Peter Odemwingie.

La Liga: Akor Adams surpasses Rashidi Yekini as Sevilla climb away from trouble
Adams Akor broke new ground in Nigerian football history on Saturday night as his penalty helped Sevilla to a 2-1 comeback win over Athletic Club and secured the club’s first La Liga victory of 2026, Soccernet.ng reports.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
The Super Eagles striker struck in the second half at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán to take his personal tally in Spain’s top flight to six goals, a figure that now places him 11th on the list of Nigeria’s all-time La Liga scorers.
It was Adams’ third goal in two matches since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations, where he helped Nigeria claim the bronze medal, and another reminder of his growing importance to Matías Almeyda’s side.
More significantly, the goal carried historical weight. With six La Liga strikes, Adams has now moved ahead of legendary Super Eagles forward Rashidi Yekini, who scored three times in the competition, and has also overtaken the marks set by Bartholomew Ogbeche (three) and Christantus Uche (five).
While Adams still has a long way to go to threaten the towering figures of Christopher Ohenhen (48 goals), Finidi George (43) and Ikechukwu Uche (43), his steady progress is a pointer to how quickly he is carving out his own place in Nigerian football’s European story.
Comeback win lifts Akor Adams’ Sevilla up the table
The match itself was a tight, nervy affair between two sides separated by little in the table.
Athletic Club struck first in the 40th minute through Robert Navarro, but Sevilla hit back almost immediately when Gerard Fernández levelled the score just two minutes later to send both teams into the break on equal terms.
Ten minutes after the restart came the decisive moment. Yuri Berchiche was penalised for a handball in the box, and after a VAR check confirmed the offence, Adams stepped up and calmly rolled the penalty into the bottom-left corner to complete the turnaround.
Athletic Club pushed hard for an equaliser, but Sevilla held their shape and saw out the contest, condemning the visitors to their seventh away defeat in 11 league matches this season.
The victory lifts Sevilla above Athletic into 11th place. Both sides are now on 24 points after 21 games, but Sevilla’s superior goal difference gives them the edge and, crucially, leaves them five points clear of the relegation zone.
For Adams, it also marks his most productive La Liga campaign so far, matching the momentum he showed during the 2023-24 season at Montpellier, when he scored eight league goals.
Sevilla now travel to face Mallorca on Monday, February 2, while Athletic Club turn their attention to Europe, hosting Sporting CP in the Champions League.

WATCH: Victor Osimhen sets new Galatasaray milestone in Fatih Karagumruk win
Victor Osimhen became the fastest player to reach 50 goals in Galatasaray’s history as the Turkish champions claimed a 3-1 away win at Fatih Karagumruk on Saturday night, Soccernet.ng reports.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
The Nigeria striker reached the landmark in just 59 appearances when he scored the third goal of the game, capping another strong display from the league leaders.
Victor Osimhen’s latest strike also confirmed his growing status as one of the most important players in the club’s recent history.
Galatasaray went into the match looking to protect their lead at the top of the Super Lig and made the perfect start. Inside the opening minute, Gabriel Sara punished a mistake from the home side while they tried to play out from defence, calmly finishing to give the visitors an early advantage.
Karagumruk struggled to create chances but made the most of their best moment in the first half. In the 27th minute, Serginho led a quick counter-attack before squaring the ball for Kalayci, who curled a fine shot into the top corner to level the score with what turned out to be the hosts’ only effort on target before the break.
Victor Osimhen seals victory and makes history
Galatasaray came out with more control after half-time and soon regained the lead. A patient move ended with Rolland Sallai sending in a cross, and Gabriel Sara arrived at the right time to head home his second goal of the night and make it 2-1.
Four minutes later, the moment everyone was waiting for arrived. Osimhen controlled a cross from Gündoğan with his chest inside the box and fired a powerful shot into the roof of the net. It was his 50th goal for the club and one that put the result beyond doubt.
The win keeps Galatasaray top of the Super Lig table with 46 points, four clear of second-placed Fenerbahçe, who still have a game in hand. Karagumruk, meanwhile, remain bottom of the standings with just nine points from 19 matches.
Osimhen’s goal was his seventh in the league this season and his 13th in all competitions in 18 appearances. Last season, he scored 37 goals in 41 games and played a key role as Galatasaray won both the Super Lig title and the Turkish Cup. Once again, he proved he is a player who delivers on the biggest nights.
