Sagna signs new long-term contract with Arsenal

Arsenal Football Club is delighted to announce that Bacary Sagna has signed a new long-term contract with the Club.



Sagna ,25, who joined Arsenal from French side Auxerre last summer, impressed greatly in his first season with Club, making a total of 40 appearances, before his season was unfortunately cut short as a result of an ankle injury.

Bacary’s great performances last season did not go unnoticed as he was voted into the PFA Team of the Year by his fellow professionals.

Everyone at the Club is looking forward to Bacary’s continued contribution in the forthcoming years.

Neue Heimdress:

Und braumi, was meinst Du? Geht Hleb nach München?

Hmm, ich weiß nicht Mainzer... Hleb wurde schon mit so vielen Clubs in Verbindung gebracht in der aktuellen Sommerpause dass es mir sehr schwer fällt an einen Verbleib bei Arsenal zu glauben.
Ob er nach München geht, oder Inter, oder sonstwohin weiß ich nicht, is schwer zu sagen. Aber dass er wechselt scheint sehr wahrscheinlich...

Aber die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt, Hleb ein sehr wichtiger Spieler für Arsenal, der perfekt in das System von Wenger passt... darum wär es so bitter wenn er gehen würde...

Gerade gelesen, scheint konkreter zu werden... :sadsmilie


Hleb und Gomez wohl zu Bayern


Der FC Bayern München ist sich laut der Münchner "tz" mit Alexander Hleb (Arsenal London) und Mario Gomez (VfB Stuttgart) einig.

Hleb soll mit Franck Ribery unter dem neuen Trainer Jürgen Klinsmann das "Traum-Mittelfeld" bilden. Der Weißrusse hat zwar noch einen Vertrag in London bis 2010, sagte aber zuletzt, er würde die "Gunners" gerne verlassen.

Gomez soll schon einen Vorvertrag unterschrieben haben. Sollte der Angreifer den VfB nach der EM verlassen, werde er nach München wechseln.

Gary Lewin to join England team on full-time basis

Chartered Physiotherapist Gary Lewin is to leave Arsenal Football Club after nearly 30 years association with the Club.

Gary is becoming the Head of Physiotherapy to the England Senior Men’s Football Team at the Football Association from 1st August 2008.

Gary has been a physiotherapist with England since 1996, and has already been involved with the squad at three World Cup Finals and two European Championships, and has worked at over 100 matches for his national team.

Lewin (44), who was a promising goalkeeper in his younger years, actually joined Arsenal as an apprentice in 1980, but decided to focus on a career in physiotherapy, following a playing spell with Barnet Football Club.

After taking his appropriate physiotherapy exams, training at Guy’s Hospital School of Physiotherapy, Gary returned to Arsenal as a part-time physio in August 1983.



However, Lewin’s rapid rise continued apace and in 1986 he was promoted to the position of first team physio on a full-time basis, with the Division One match at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground on 27th September 1986 being Gary’s first match in the role.

Since that day, Gary has been the Arsenal’s first team physio for precisely 1,205 matches in total, a quite remarkable achievement. During that time, Gary has worked under three managers (George Graham, Bruce Rioch and Arsène Wenger) and has been part of Arsenal teams which have won five League Championships, five FA Cups, two League Cups and one European Cup Winners’ Cup.

Ken Friar, Acting Managing Director, who has known Gary ever since he first joined the Club as a young player, said: “Quite simply, Gary Lewin is one of the best physiotherapists in world football today. We are all sad that he is leaving us, but we totally understand and accept his decision to seek new challenges in this newly created full-time role with the Football Association, one that we know he will meet with enthusiastic professionalism.

“Gary has played an integral role in the Club’s medical set-up for many years, and on behalf of Arsène, the directors, players and staff, I would just like to thank him for his massive contribution towards Arsenal Football Club during his time here.

“Gary will be greatly missed by all the players and his work colleagues at the Club and I know he will still keep in touch, as he will still have many friends here at Emirates Stadium. We wish him the very best of luck for the future in his new position.”

Lewin will continue in his role at the Club into pre-season until his contract with Football Association commences on 1st August. The Club will communicate the re-structure within the medical team in due course.

Arsenal verpflichtet walisisches "Wunderkind" Ramsey

Arsenal hat das Rennen um das walisische "Wunderkind" Aaron Ramsey gemacht. Der 17-Jährige von Cardiff City unterschrieb am Freitag einen Dreijahresvertrag bei den Londonern.

Auch Meister Manchester United und Rekordchampion Liverpool hatten um den Mittelfeldspieler gebuhlt, der als eines der größten Talente im britischen Fußball gilt.

Ramsey war diese Woche allerdings extra in die Schweiz geflogen, um am Rande der EM mit Arsenal-Trainer Arsene Wenger über seine Zukunftsperspektiven zu sprechen.

Arsenal ließ sich den Youngster rund fünf Millionen Pfund (6,34 Mio. Euro) kosten. Für den damals 16-jährigen Stürmer Theo Walcott hatten die "Gunners" 2006 eine ähnliche Summe an Southampton gezahlt.

Clichy signs new long-term contract with Arsenal


Arsenal Football Club is delighted to announce that Gael Clichy has signed a new long-term contract with the Club.


Since joining Arsenal from AS Cannes in August 2003, Clichy (22), has become a first team regular, and has now made 146 appearances for the Club.


Left back Clichy, who became the youngest ever winner of a Premier League champion’s medal in 2004, made the most Arsenal first team appearances of any player in the 2007/08 season, featuring in 49 of the Club’s 58 matches in all competitions.


Gael’s performances last season also earned him great acknowledgement from his fellow professionals, as he was voted into the PFA Team of the Year.


Everyone at the Club is looking forward to Gael’s continued contribution in the forthcoming years.

The Club can confirm its participation in two further pre-season friendlies ahead of the 2008/09 campaign.

Arsenal will take on Hungarian side Szombathelyi Haladas and a Burgenland XI in Austria, both matches being played during the first team squad’s pre-season training preparations in Austria.

These matches, which complete Arsenal’s pre-season schedule, will be shown exclusively on Arsenal TV and Arsenal TV Online.

In Ritzing, Austria.
Tickets for this fixture will be confirmed shortly.

Arsenal begin their pre-season campaign against Barnet on Saturday, July 19 in what is becoming a traditional fixture due to the two clubs’ ongoing relationship, with the Arsenal Reserves continuing to play our ‘home’ matches at Underhill.

After returning from the pre-season training camp in Austria and taking part in the fixtures against Szombathelyi Haladas and Burgenland XI, Arsenal will travel to the re-named Mercedez-Benz-Arena (previously named Gottlieb-Daimler-Stadium) to play VfB Stuttgart on Wednesday, July 30, ahead of the Emirates Cup.

Arsenal’s seventh pre-season fixture is against Huddersfield Town on August 6, and will mark the contribution made towards both clubs by legendary manager Herbert Chapman, as well as commemorating Huddersfield Town’s centenary year. Arsenal will play the West Yorkshire team at The Galpharm Stadium.

The pre-season fixtures will conclude with Arsenal returning to the Dutch capital to defend their trophy won in last year’s Amsterdam Tournament. Arsenal will face Ajax on Friday, August 8 and Sevilla on Saturday, August 9. Inter Milan completes the quartet of teams involved in the tournament this year.

Walcott to wear No 14 from 2008/09 campaign


From the start of the 2008/09 campaign Theo Walcott will wear the No 14 jersey.

The English forward will vacate the No 32 shirt that he has worn since his arrival at the Club from Southampton over two-and-a-half years ago.

Walcott enjoyed his finest season with the Gunners last term, grabbing his first Premier League and Champions League goals. His growth into one of the country’s brightest talents culminated in a recall to the England set-up for the fixture against Trinidad and Tobago.

The change is the only one following the announcement last week on squad numbers, which saw new signing Aaron Ramsey handed the No 16 shirt, and striker Carlos Vela taking No 12. Below is the full list of squad numbers for the 2008/09 campaign.

Bischoff wechselt zu Arsenal

In der Bundesliga spielte er bei Werder Bremen keine Sekunde, in der Regionalliga kam er zu einem Kurzeinsatz - zu einem neuen Vertrag an der Weser reichte dies nicht. Doch nun hat Amaury Bischoff überraschend beim FC Arsenal angeheuert.

In England hofft der Portugiese, der in der vergangenen Saison immer wieder von Verletzungen geplagt war, auf den großen Sprung. "Ich denke, ich werde erstmal in der Reserve spielen, um fit zu werden. Dann liegt es an mir, meinen Platz im Premier-League-Team zu erobern", sagte der 21-Jährige.
Im Werder-Trikot absolvierte Bischoff in der zurückliegenden Spielzeit nur einen Kurzeinsatz. Am 6. Spieltag wurde er Anfang September 2007 beim 4:1 gegen die zweite Mannschaft Borussia Dortmunds in der 83. Minute eingewechselt.

Hleb angeblich vor Wechsel zum FC Barcelona

Der weißrussische Teamspieler Alexander Hleb wird spanischen Medienberichten zufolge von Arsenal London zum FC Barcelona wechseln.

Der katalanische Club und Hleb hätten sich bereits auf einen Vierjahresvertrag geeinigt, hieß es am Donnerstag. Im Gegenzug sollten 15 Millionen Euro sowie optional weitere drei Millionen als Ablöse an Arsenal fließen.

Hleb wechselte 2005 zu Arsenal, nachdem er zuvor fünf Jahre beim VfB Stuttgart unter Vertrag stand. In den vergangenen Monaten verschlechterte sich sein Verhältnis zu Trainer Arsene Wenger, und der Spieler äußerte öffentlich seine Wechselabsichten. Der 27-Jährige stand 2006 mit den "Gunners" im Finale der Champions League, das ausgerechnet gegen Barcelona mit 1:2 verloren ging.

Wenger beklagt Söldnermentalität


Teammanager Arsene Wenger vom FC Arsenal hat das Transfersystem und die damit verbundene Söldnermentalität im Profifußball kritisiert.

"Wenn ich die Macht hätte, irgendetwas Grundsätzliches im Fußball zu ändern, dann wäre es das Transfersystem. Es macht aus Spielern Söldnern", sagte der Franzose. "Wenn Spieler schlecht sind, dann bleiben sie. Wenn sie aber gut sind, denken sie nur ans Wechseln", monierte Wenger. Wengers Frust ist auf den ablösefreien Transfer von Mathieu Flamini zum AC Mailand sowie die offen geäußerten Wechselabsichten seiner Stars Emmanuel Adebayor und Alexander Hleb zurückzuführen.

Arsenal widersetzt sich dem Trend

Beide liebäugeln mit besser dotierten Verträgen in Spanien und Italien. Arsenal dagegen werde die Preistreiberei auch in Zukunft nicht mitmachen, erklärte Wenger: "Die Strategie des Klubs ist es, jedes Jahr weniger teure Spieler einzukaufen."

SWR überträgt VfB v Arsenal

Der Südwestrundfunk (SWR) wird Ende Juli das Freundschaftsspiel zwischen dem VfB Stuttgart und Arsenal London übertragen. Das teilte der Sender heute mit. Das Spiel, in dem der neue VfB-Torhüter Jens Lehmann auf seinen Ex-Verein trifft wird anlässlich der Umbenennung des Gottlieb-Daimler-Stadions ausgetragen. Das Stadion soll danach den Namen "Mercedes-Benz-Arena" tragen.

Neben Nationaltorhüter Jens Lehmann trifft auch der weißrussische Nationalspieler Aliaksandr Hleb auf seinen Ex-Club. Hleb spielt inzwischen bei Arsenal, stand aber bis 2005 bei den Stuttgartern unter Vertrag.

Das Freundschaftsspiel findet am 30. Juli statt, die Übertragung beginnt um 20.15 Uhr. Kommentiert wird die Partie vom EM-Endspielreporter Tom Bartels.

Wow, dass ich sowas vom SWR noch erleben darf

Nasri agrees to join Arsenal from Marseille

French international midfielder Samir Nasri has agreed to join Arsenal from Olympique Marseille on a long-term contract for an undisclosed fee.

Nasri (21), who made two appearances for France in Euro 2008, was voted as the French Ligue 1 'Young Player of the Year' for 2006/07 and was also Olympique Marseille's Player of the Year for 2007.




Nasri, has made twelve appearances (scoring twice) for the French national team, making his debut for his country in March 2007 in the 1-0 friendly win over Austria. He was also a French Under-21 international and part of the French Under-17s who won the European Championships in 2004.

The young attacking midfielder made 145 appearances (scoring 11 goals) for Olympique Marseille, during which time he won the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2005, was a French Cup runner-up in 2006 and 2007 and helped his side into third place in Ligue 1 last season, thus securing a UEFA Champions League place for next season.

Manager Arsène Wenger said: "We are delighted to be signing Samir Nasri. He is young, quick and technically an outstanding player. He has shown great potential with his performances for Marseille and the French national team over the past two seasons and he will add great quality to our squad."

Nasri added: "I'm very happy to become an Arsenal player, it means such a lot to me. This is a very important step in my life as a football player because Arsenal is a massive club. I really hope everything will go well for me here. I will do my best for Arsenal and its fans and I am honoured to be part of such a great football club."

Samir Nasri is due to join up with his new Arsenal team mates for pre-season training on 21st July.

Nasri - The reasons why I wanted to sign for Arsenal


French international midfielder Samir Nasri has agreed to join Arsenal from Olympique Marseille on a long-term contract for an undisclosed fee.

The 21-year-old, who made two appearances for France at Euro 2008, was voted as the French Ligue 1 'Young Player of the Year' for 2006/07 and was Marseille's Player of the Year for 2007.

Samir granted his first interview to Arsenal.com shortly after arriving in England. Read on to find out how much Arsène Wenger was a factor in his decision to move, his friendship with Arsenal's French contingent, the advice he received from Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira and his hopes for next season.

Samir, welcome to London and to Arsenal Football Club. Can you give us your thoughts on becoming an Arsenal player?

"I’m very happy to become an Arsenal player, it means such a lot to me. This is a very important step in my life as a football player because Arsenal is a massive club."

How important was Arsène Wenger in your decision to join Arsenal?

"The fact that Arsène Wenger gives great opportunities to young players is very important for me. Arsène has a great reputation and he is one of the best managers in the world. He has proved that he puts a lot of confidence in the young players and he gives them a chance. It was very important for me to have such a great manager to work with and I’m really looking forward to working with both Arsène Wenger and all my new team-mates."

Do you know many of the Arsenal players? You must be quite close to the French players?

"Yes, I know all the French players. Of course, I have played with William Gallas in the national team and was with him in the France squad for the Euro 2008 championships. I have also played with Gael Clichy and Abou Diaby in the France Under-21 team. So I don’t arrive in an unfamiliar place. And I already know some other players as well. For example, Cesc Fabregas, who I played against in the Under-17 European Cup a few years ago. I obviously know all the players, as I have followed the team’s progress, but I am really looking forward to meeting everyone."

Arsenal have a great link to France and French players, with players such as Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira both making huge contributions to the Club. Are you aware of this link?

"I know Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira very well and they have told me a lot of good things about Arsenal Football Club. They both had amazing times at this Club and, even talking to them now, they are still very enthusiastic about Arsenal. Both Thierry and Patrick have given me a lot of advice and they both told me that it was the best choice for me to come to Arsenal."

Was it a difficult decision to leave Marseille?

"I had good times at Marseille, but no, it was not difficult, as I leave the past behind me now that I have signed for Arsenal. This is a new stage in my career. When I was with Marseille, I was still the little boy, staying with my mum and dad, and today it’s a great moment for me to join Arsenal. It will be a little weird because I will have to get used to a new life, but I’m grown up now and I am ready to cope with this change."

How would you describe yourself as a player?

"I am an offensive midfielder. I like offensive, technical and quick football, exactly in the style of Arsenal. I hope I will integrate myself quickly in this team and bring everything I can to Arsenal and its fans. I can play in the centre or on the wing. During my career, I have played behind one or two strikers or on the left, or the right hand side."

Did you watch much of Arsenal last season?

"Yes I did and I loved it! I found the Arsenal way of playing football amazing. Unfortunately, the team just missed out on winning a trophy, but with regards to football, in my opinion Arsenal produced the best football in Europe. I was a big fan of the team and of its football philosophy, which makes it so great for me to be joining the Club."

And finally Samir, do you have a message for the Arsenal fans?

"I really hope everything will go well for me here. I will give my best for Arsenal and its fans and I am honoured to be part of such a great football club."

Alex Hleb leaves Arsenal to join Barcelona

Arsenal can confirm that Alexander Hleb has signed for Barcelona for an undisclosed fee.

Hleb (27) signed for Arsenal from German side VfB Stuttgart in June 2005 and made a total of 129 appearances during his time with the Club, scoring 11 goals. Last season, the Belarusian international was a regular in the team, making 42 first team appearances in all competitions.

Hleb became the first Belarusian to appear in a UEFA Champions League Final when the Club played Barcelona in the 2006 Paris final. Alex was also voted Belarusian footballer of the year in 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2006, as well as Belarusian Sportsman of the Year in 2002.



On Hleb’s departure, Arsène Wenger said: “We must firstly thank Alex for his contribution towards Arsenal Football Club during his time with us. Alex played a significant role in the three seasons he was with the Club. We are comfortable with our decision to let him go and we are all looking forward to continuing our preparations for the new season ahead.”

Everyone at Arsenal Football Club wishes Alex the best of luck for the future.
