Ian Wright sends North London derby warning to Arsenal amid transfer links with resurgent 22-year-old

Arsenal are now putting the final touches on their preparations for Sunday’s North London derby with Tottenham.

The Gunners have won all but one of their games so far, drawing the other, but Tottenham have done just as well, and it will be a big test for both teams at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. It will be an interesting litmus test for Arsenal, who have title ambitions, and an early test of how they handle pressure this season.

In the meantime, we have rounded up all the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding both clubs.

Charles de Ketelaere linked

Atalanta loan star Charles de Ketelaere is being linked with a move to Arsenal after his return to form.

The Belgian disappointed after making a big-money move to AC Milan, but he has reclaimed his good form at Atlanta, and Calciomercato.it are now saying Arsenal and Newcastle are possible options for the forward when he returns to Milan.

The report, which was spotted by SportsWitness, warns to ‘pay attention to Newcastle and Arsenal’ ahead of next summer due to de Ketelaere’s good start to life at Atalanta.

Wright’s warning

Ian Wright has warned Arsenal they will need to keep an eye on Richarlison during this Sunday’s derby, with the Brazilian recoving form over recent weeks.

Speaking on Optus Sport, he said: “You’re looking at a team now that is a very confident and a player up front who if he can now throw in 10, 12 goals which he’s easily capable of doing Richarlison now his head’s clear and everything – they’re going to cause people problems,” Wright said.

“He (Richarlison) seems to have stopped the noise in his head, the manager’s given him time out of it and brought him in and eased him into and now he feels more at ease.”
