Lamine “MacGyver” Yamal

It’s happened, everybody: a player younger than the Football Ramble has scored in a major tournament semi-final. Today, Marcus, Luke, Jim and Andy are here to marvel at Lamine Yamal’s performance, even if Marcus does end up comparing him to MacGyver.


Elsewhere, the Ramblers explain why this should be the end for Didier Deschamps and they ease the pressure on Gareth’s Brave Boys ahead of tonight’s Dutch semi. In the words of Pitbull: don’t stop the party.

Arsenal tipped to make around £54.7million from tapping into the USA market

Arsenal is one of several Premier League clubs aiming to tap into the USA market as football becomes more popular in the North American country.

Traditionally, football has lagged behind basketball and baseball in the United States, but the sport is gaining more followers.

The US is one of the countries hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will encourage more Americans to follow the sport.

There are almost 4 million Arsenal fans in the United States whom the Gunners are not fully connecting with, according to Football Insider. They are making plans to generate revenue from this following.

The report claims that in the next two years, the Gunners could make as much as £54.7 million from exploiting their following in the States, and they are making plans to seriously tap into that market.

Ian Wright expects Saka to be Okay if he starts as a left-back for England

Ian Wright has again discussed the possibility of Bukayo Saka starting as a left-back when England faces Switzerland in the quarterfinals of Euro 2024.

The attacker played in that position in the second half of their last game against Slovakia, due to Luke Shaw and Kieran Trippier being unavailable.

Saka is recognized as England’s top right-winger, but like most of his teammates, he has struggled at the Euros.

In his brief stint as a left-back in the last game, Saka performed well, and Southgate acknowledges that using him there could enhance the team’s attacking options.

Wright has now commented on the potential for Saka to play in that role and expressed confidence that the Gunner will perform admirably regardless.

He said, as quoted by Metro Sport:

Report: Why Calafiori has still not completed his move to Arsenal

Arsenal has reportedly agreed to sign Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna this summer.

The defender had attracted interest from several clubs, but he has chosen to move to the Emirates, where he would earn 4 million euros net per season.

The Gunners have reached an agreement on personal terms with Calafiori, and the player is eager to join them.

However, the deal has not been finalized yet. According to a report on Football Italia, this is because the clubs have not agreed on a fee.

The report states that Arsenal’s offer is still below the 50 million euros that Bologna is demanding, and the Italian club is holding firm on their valuation.

They expect Arsenal to come back with an improved offer, potentially including bonuses, but as of now, there is no agreement between the clubs.

Gallagher insists Arsenal star is among the top five in his position

Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher believes Declan Rice is one of the top five midfielders in the world.

The Arsenal star has been in fantastic form since he moved to the Emirates and remains a key player for the England national team.

He is one of the players the Three Lions are counting on to help them win Euro 2024, and Gallagher has been his midfield partner for at least one game in the competition.

While his midfield partners keep changing, Rice has remained ever-present in the England team, and most people believe he is irreplaceable.

Gallagher recently spoke about the former West Ham captain and was asked to rank Rice among the best midfielders in the world.

Arsenal agrees a club record deal for young striker

Arsenal has agreed to sell Mika Biereth to Sturm Graz after his impressive loan spell at the Austrian club last season.

The 21-year-old, a product of the Arsenal youth system, represented the club well during his short stint in Austria.

His performances were so good that the Austrian Bundesliga side could not allow him to leave.

After he returned to the Emirates, Sturm Graz immediately signalled their interest in making him a permanent member of their squad.

Although he attracted interest from other English clubs, the Austrians applied a lot of pressure and have now secured a deal with Arsenal.

Arteta admits two Arsenal stars have found life tough at Euro 2024

Mikel Arteta has been following Euro 2024 closely, with many of his players involved in the competition.

Arsenal still has several players in the tournament, as some nations have already reached the semi-finals.

The Gunners have at least two players in the England squad, and both of them are starters.

It has not been an impressive competition for the England national team, as the Three Lions have struggled to impress most fans and neutrals.

Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka have been key players in all their games, and Arteta has watched them struggle.

Real Madrid is tempted to sign £117m Arsenal star

William Saliba’s heroics at Euro 2024 are a source of pride for Arsenal, but they could also lead to the loss of the defender.

The Frenchman is beginning to find the consistency he lacked on the international stage, and he could potentially win Euro 2024.

France has kept four clean sheets in the competition and has reached the semi-finals.

His form has not gone unnoticed, with a report on Fichajes claiming Real Madrid is interested in signing him.

Real Madrid is seeking the world’s best players and looking for defenders who will outlast the likes of Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba, making Saliba a perfect target.

Stats show the numbers behind Saliba’s stunning performance against Portugal

William Saliba has been unstoppable for France at Euro 2024, carrying his Arsenal form onto the international stage.

Before Euro 2024, there were question marks over his ability to replicate his Arsenal form for the national team.

He had tried but failed to convince France manager Didier Deschamps over several years.

However, his manager trusted him to start at the Euros, and he has been terrific so far.

Saliba has had many impressive performances in the competition, with the latest being in their quarterfinal match against Portugal. Les Bleus have struggled to score goals, but thanks to Saliba, they have been rock-solid at the back.

Arsenal could offer Barcelona a swap deal for former Premier League winger

Arsenal remains interested in signing Raphinha, according to a report on Team Talk, and they could make a move for him soon.

The Gunners have been tracking Raphinha since his time at Leeds United in the Premier League, and they previously attempted to sign him before he moved to Barcelona.

At Barcelona, Raphinha has been one of several attackers who have not consistently met expectations.

While Barcelona still value him as an important player, they might consider his departure, and Arsenal has shown interest.

The report suggests that Mikel Arteta’s side is open to proposing a swap deal, potentially involving Eddie Nketiah moving to Barcelona.
