🗣️ Miguel Azeez on his Portsmouth loan from Arsenal: “I said I wanted to be one of the best players in the world, which I still say. I didn’t know this until after I left but it was taken as, ‘Who is he coming from Arsenal saying this?’ but that was just my goal.” 🤷♂️🌏
🗣️ “I definitely felt misjudged. That word ‘aloof’ was used against me at Arsenal. I’m not causing any harm by wearing a pair of heels.” 👠❌

Arsenal will reportedly receive a compensation fee of £1.5 million following academy defender Ayden Heaven ’s transfer to Manchester United in January.
The 18-year-old, who joined Arsenal’s academy in 2019, made his senior debut in October against Preston North End in the Carabao Cup. Despite the Gunners’ efforts to retain him, Heaven opted to leave and signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with United, which includes an option for a further 12 months.
With Heaven’s scholarship deal at Arsenal set to expire at the end of the 2024–2025 season, the club attempted to secure his future by offering him a professional contract. However, the young defender declined the offer, paving the way for his move to Old Trafford.
£12 million for Jorginho has been an absolute bargain for Arsenal.
The value he brings to the team, even when he’s not on the pitch, shouldn’t be underestimated.
His understanding of the game is top.
